Good Morning Magnolia meets Faux Chalk Technique

I love when you see a technique that has lots of impact but not a lot of effort!

Lets keep it real as a busy mum of four boys, time generally gets away from me. So when I find something quick and easy I like to share it with you as we all love a quick and easy card right?

Let me introduce you to the beautiful Faux Chalk Technique. Its as easy as one, two, three.

First – Emboss any image of your choice using your Versamark and any of the gorgeous Embossing Powders Stampin’up! provides.

Two – Using your Whisper White Craft Ink and your trusty Aqua painter colour in the image. Squeeze a little water and drag your ink across your image.

Three – Let the image dry and see the magic happen!

How quick and easy was that! You can use this technique on any stamped image. Just be careful not to add to much water as you do not want your card stock to bubble.

At the moment Stampin’Up! ® is celebrating Bonus Days! This is when you place any order of $90 or more in July and you will receive a $9 voucher to use in August! As an added BONUS I a offering FREE postage and Handling in the next two weeks! (These orders must be processed by me to earn the free postage/handling as this is my gift to you!)

Happy Stamping,

Love Cazzy xo

Oh how I love the Bird Ballad Suite!

Today I woke up coughing a little less and feeling a little brighter …Hooray! It meant that all those crafty ideas swirling around in my head could finally be put into action!

Boy did I have fun!

I set myself a challenge to create one card and ended up creating four. Don’t you just love when your swept away on a crafting journey!

I have to let you in on a little secret though this product suite is so easy to create with and everything coordinates so beautifully!

This card was my favourite! I loved how the beautiful new coloured vellum made those precious little birds pop off the card. Isn’t that Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper just divine!

See that beautiful shimmer? Its created with Wink of Stella. It’s so simple to apply but it gives you such stunning results!

Other then the gorgeous sentiment from the Free as A bird Stamp Set this card is created solely by fussy cutting around those gorgeous little feathers on the Designer Series Paper! If you haven’t gotten your hands on Stampin’Up!s Snips as yet you are missing out! They make fussy cutting a dream!

t was such a quick and easy card to create!

Isn’t the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper beautiful? I have been so conflicted on which side of the paper I love the most! Its lucky that each pack has two sheets of each design!

Now this little lady took a little bit of extra time! I decided to fussy cut all those little flowers from the DSP and I love how it turned out! Ive teamed it up with the gorgeous new Nested Framelits. They are quickly becoming one of my favourite Dies to create with!

Don’t you just love that stitched detail created by the Nested Dies!

Thank you ever so much for stopping by! If you have any questions or need some help placing an order please do not hesitate to contact me!

Crafting my way to happiness!

Lets keep it real! Since my return from Onstage New Zealand I haven’t felt the greatest! Ive been battling a viral infection thats been playing havoc with my little heart, leaving me with a constant feeling of lethargy.

Sadly I’ve had to cancel my upcoming classes and my Annual Catalogue Launch has been pushed further and further ahead…..

BUT THERE ARE LOADS OF THINGS I CAN DO!

I can create, I can make a card, I can Blog my little heart out! I can place my customers orders! I can organise my future classes with a little more detail and best of all I can plan the BEST Catalogue Launch EVER.………. all from the comfort of my very own bed!

This is what I LOVE about Stampin’Up! I still feel like I am participating in this game called life and find happiness in doing so!

So lets get back to the Crafting my way to happiness part!!! Anyone that knows me well knows I love a good 3D Project! So when I saw the lovely Susan Wong – Stamping Susan Wong showcasing a Tri-Shutter Memory Keeper I knew I just had to make one too!

I teamed up Susan’s Tutorial with the beautiful Come Sail Away Suite by Stampin’Up! I just love this nautical theme and I thought this project would compliment it perfectly!

I have used our BRAND New Stitched Nested Dies to create the opening flap and tied it off with some of the new Magnolia Ribbon! These Dies are going to be on EVERYONE’S wish list!

I just know that the person receiving it will get such a lovely surprise to see how it unfolds. All it needs now are some photos I have ordered to be printed and a some journalling to finish it off.

Doesn’t this project have such an incredible WOW factor when its unfolded? I love that it expands out to such a large size but then folds down super compact!

Now if you ABSOLUTELY LOVE this project as much as I do then head over to Susan’s Blog to purchase her Step by Step Tutorial! All of the hard work has been done for you, with loads of photos and its in both metric and imperial measurements which made my heart sing!

All of the products used in this project will be available from my Online Store June 4th with the launch of the fabulous NEW ANNUAL CATALOGUE!

Happy Stamping,

Love Cazz xo

Inkspiration Blog Hop

I am really excited to be hopping for the very first time with all of the lovely Inkspiration Crew today.

For those of you who may have missed it, I recently won a Colour Inkspiration Challenge. Because of this I have been given a guest designer spot this month.

I will be sharing with you a beautiful new product suite from the upcoming Annual Catalogue that I just know you are just going to fall in love with!

When the lovely Kelly Kent sent me this picture I absolutely fell in love with the colour palette.

Isn’t the colour combination absolutely gorgeous!

These gorgeous colours inspired me to use the beautiful NEW Bloom & Grow Stamp Set. One of my absolute favourites from the New Annual Catalogue. I teamed it up by creating a window card with our Rectangle Stitched Dies and I am loving how it turned out!

I have coloured the beautiful flowers in the Bloom & Grow Stamp Set with a mixture of Melon Mambo and Berry Burst ink and the help of an aqua painter. For the leaves and the stamen I have used Garden Green & Daffodil Delight Stampin Blends.

As you can see in this image the beautiful stitched detail created by using the Rectangle Stitched Dies. I absolutely love how it finishes off any card or project.

These beautiful products will be available to purchase June 4th or you can add them to your Starter Kit now! Ask me for more details!

Please make sure you follow the Hop for loads more inspiration and don’t forget to share some comment love’.

Ill hand it over to the lovely Kelly Kent with her beautiful card design.

Happy Stamping,

Love Cazz xo

Magnolia Lane Suite

The Magnolia Lane Suite is an absolute show stopper and I know that you are going to love it as much as I do!

This Suite could have gotten a standing ovation at Onstage it was so well received! There were so many Oohs and Ahh’s from all the demonstrators when it was showcased.

For you my beautiful crafters, I think you are going to love all the breathtaking coordinating products in this Magnolia Lane Suite. It will make creating beautiful projects time and time again a breeze!

Make sure you mark the Annual Catalogue release date on your calendar – June 4th!

Aa you all know there is only a few short weeks before this stunning suite is available to purchase from The New Upcoming 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue! However If you have fallen in love with this Suite, think about joining my fabulous team and getting it as part of your Starter Kit! You will also get an additional 20% off your future orders……with a new catty coming your wish list is going to be to the floor! haha

Now there is a lovely story about this card I created or I should say co created! ! A gorgeous Demonstrator, Patricia Quintas who I met at Onstage sent me a gorgeous hand made card and the coloured magnolia flower was inside as a gift! Wasn’t that just the sweetest!

I really hope I have done justice to her beautiful work! I teamed her flower up with a Smokey Slate card base then used the coordinating Mossy Meadow for the next base and then matted this beautiful print from Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper. I then wrapped the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo around the base and added a circle of sheer Vellum circle to make the flower pop! I couldn’t help but add some of the Magnolia lane Memories & More Card Pack in the form of the additional flower underneath and the fussy cut sentiment! Im sure you can see the shimmer of Wink of Stella….. its not a Cazzy card without it haha!

I love it so much that I want to frame it to decorate my craft room!

Now there is something really special about this suite, no its not the absolutely beautiful images in the stamp sets, nor the stunning papers, ribbons, or the 3D Embossing Folder or the abundance of beautiful embellishments! My favourite part of the entire suite is the DIES!!!

These dies create the most stunning flowers to add to any of your projects! I LOOOOOOOVE them! I know thats a lot of love but once you start making them you won’t want to stop!

Here are the Dies that were displayed at Onstage! The ideas are endless!!

Here is a close up of one I created! I added a few extra layers to make it a fully opened Magnolia flower. Isn’t it just so pretty!

Here are the Sample Boards from Onstage showcasing all the beautiful coordinating products in this suite! Now you know whatI mean about being spoiled for choice!

Sail Away Suite!

As the mum of four sons you would think I would have loads upon loads of male orientated stamps but quite honestly I only have one! Shocking right!

So when I saw the beautiful Come Sail Away Suite at Onstage I knew I had to add it to my collection. For me there is nothing nicer then going to beach, breathing in that incredible mixture of sea air and sunscreen. Plus you cant beat the feeling of squishing the sand between your toes. If your ever travelling my way make sure you go to Woodgate Beach as its my favourite little getaway spot!

Just looking at the suite in the catalogue makes me feel more relaxed.

The thing I love most about this suite is that its perfect for anyone and any occasion! The sentiments are just gorgeous and are so meaningful! I love all of the beautiful designer series paper and all the embellishments WOW I had to have them all!

At Auckland Onstage I demonstrated how I used the beautiful ribbon die From the Arts & Crafts Dies to create and ocean scene! I decided to see if I could create a miniature version to compliment this suite! I love that I was able to use a die not for the purpose it was created for!

As you can see in this image I have run the Arts and Craft Die through my cutting machine and I am left with this beautiful wave off cut! This piece layered can create any beach front scene! You can also flip the waves either way just by turning your cardstock over and if you add some texture paint it adds even more dimension!

These gorgeous products will be available to purchase early June! But if you would like to get your hands on them NOW you can join my amazing team and get them as part of the Starter Kits! Its only $169 to join with your choice of $235 worth of products of your choice! Contact me for more details x

Bird Ballad Suite!

I am finally feeling well enough to be back in my craft room and I thought I’d share with you what I created!

My PPP or Product Purchase Premiere has been waiting untouched for a few weeks so instead of being overwhelmed as to what I should create with first I decided whichever stamp set was on the top would be the winner!

Fortunately for me it was Free As A Bird! To be totally honest with you, I am not a huge bird fan. Memories of me as a child with a rogue cockateel on top of my head comes to mind. In saying that when I first saw this suite at Auckland Onstage, I had to have it!

There is just something so delicate about the entire suite. It has a vintage feel but with a modern twist.

With five new In colours coming I couldn’t wait to start creating with them! This beautiful shade is called Seaside Spray! Isn’t it just perfect! I know you are going to love them all as they compliment so beautifully with the inks we already have and love!

Here is a close up of my card.

I love the coordinating dies that go with the suite as there is nothing more charming then a gorgeous stitched outline. The embellishments within the suite are beautiful too. Delicate scalloped stitched lace and little bronzed trinkets featuring flowers, leaves and miniature keys. The key gives it that old world feeling.

Can you tell I love Wink of Stella? I seem to find any excuse to pop it on a card. I just love that light shimmer it creates, its almost like pixie dust!

Here is the inside of the card!

These gorgeous products will be available to purchase early June! But if you would like to get your hands on them NOW you can join my amazing team and get them as part of the Starter Kits! Its only $169 to join with your choice of $235 worth of products of your choice! Contact me for more details x
