Sovereignstampers Ballarat

 I have just finished another fun day with my team. We enjoyed an afternoon of stamping, business ideas, stamping ideas, afternoon tea and our team swaps which this time were for Fathers Day. This is a picture of my swap for the girls. I  used  the Outlaw Double sided papers together with close to cocoa, choc chip and really rust

The tree has been stamped by using the markers. Using the markers gives you the opportunity to colour the image in any colour that may suit and then huffing on the rubber to remoisten and then stamp.
The look is great and the colour is enhanced by using the amazing product called crystal effects which gives that 3D, glazed look.

Here is a close up of the image so that you can see how amazing it really looks.
our next team day isn’t until August and the new swap is to use something from the new MINI. Oops did I say a new mini well yes I did and over the next month you will see some snippits of some of the products from the new mini so keep watching. Speaking of Double sided papers.
Do You see what I see? Do you think that may be something new? Well why not stay tuned and subscribe to my newsletter and find out when i will be holding my Mini Catalogue Launch.

                                                                  

Well everyone else is doing these challenges so after doing way too many sesame street characters  i thought it would be nice to challenge myself. I have looked at these for so long but this is the first time i have actually participated. Check out kristinas blog
I wonder how many of these bedsets have been sold since the picture went up on her blog.

I have also added a recent pic of my grandaughter Imogen for those that have been interested.

My stamp-a-stack on Thursday night was a great night as always but 2 of my guests forgot to come along and as such I have 2 packs to offer to you out there for just $20 plus postage of $1.00 to anywhere in australia.

Everything will be completed for you and all you have to do is put it together with your adhesive at home.
You will receive enough to make 3 of the pink and river rock card, 3 of the flower pot card and 4 of the always artichoke card.
They will be all stamped, ribbon and brads added to the pack, Sponging, corners cut out and as I said all you are doing is putting them together as shown on the instructions that I will send to you once payment is made.
Contact me if you would like a pack at khunter@vic.chariot.net.au

Shhhh don’t tell that they are on here cause Group 2 still haven’t had their class yet. Group 2 were over last night and we had a blast as always although only 2 of the 6 were here which made for a quick class as they weren’t waiting on products. 2 of the girls live out of state so I stamp up there cards and send everything to them for putting together.
Well you saw 2 of them in an earlier post and here is another of the 5 but shhhhhh. OK? its using the from the garden stamp from the level one hostess only Stamp sets.

Using the Stampin’Up! set snow flurries, Purely Pomegranate,  Soft Sky cardstock and soft sky and silver ink.

The Greeting is from the set seasonal wishes

Call back in a couple of hours for a peek

I know I am bad you don’t have to tell me but i just couldn’t help myself with July coming up its time to start my christmas Stamp a Stacks.

Its time to give you a sneak preview of  the cards I am doing for my stamp club members this month.

I have 2 Stampers 6 Clubs one is held this Friday night and the other the following Friday night.  I have a special class for club members which is free. Each of the club members gets to hostess one of the club nights and receives the hostess benefits just for placing a $50 order every 2 months. This is a great way of getting the hostess only sets plus a nice night out with friends.

  The club class this month is a black and white theme with 5 cards in black and white although a couple of them have a little colour in them. I will also be teaching them how to do the cracked glass technique.
Here are 2 of the 5 cards for this month. I can’t show all of them or the surprise will be gone.  

I was asked today by my lovely team demonstrator Michelle How I do it? How I do what you ask?
How do I  seem to get everything done?

I have a fulltime job, i Spend time with the family, Enjoy my stamping time, Look after my team of Stampin’Up! demonstrators, Build my business, try to regularly update my blog, prepare for workshops and everything else.

In all honesty I don’t know. Maybe if you could see the mess my house is in you would see what gives here.
The thing is that if you are doing something that you love you can find the time to do just about anything,
I have a wonderful team of demonstrators  and the fact that we can get together once a month and enjoy each others creative company helps enormously. You know we do these team swaps that help to get the samples on the sample board and ideas for classes and workshops.

This is the stack of swap cards from our last swap day. 

This has to be everyones first love. The love of preserving those special photos in a way that makes it enjoyable to look at them over and over again. Well thats where I started but i don’t do a whole lot any more but who can resist the cutest little grandchild ever to start all over again.
