Global Design Project - Christmas Joy - Cheery Chirps

27 November 2017

#GDP115
I truly am feeling quite 'joyful' about this weeks theme for the Global Design Project....I L.O.V.E all things Christmas! The shops are twinkling and have pretty displays PLUS the Global Design Team are creating some gorgeous projects to get you inspired.


I am going to be honest - I watercoloured this beautiful blue bird from the Cheery Chirps stamp set in on page 41 of the Holiday Catalogue weeks ago - knowing that it would be going on a card at some stage! Even though it doesn't need to be coloured blue, it reminded me of a little blue bird broach I had as a young child. Christmas always brings back fond childhood memories for me, hence this bird just had to be blue. 


Now head over to the Global Design Project and see what the amazing Design Team have in store for you this week.

Be Inspired Blog Hop

23 November 2017


Welcome to the Be Inspired Design Team Blog Hop. It's a short and sweet hop tonight, but I'm sure you will still be completely inspired to craft afterwards!

You may have just arrived here from my lovely friend Maike Ulbrich from Germany. If you are starting here please make sure you hit the next button at the bottom of this post and hop all the way around. 

The theme for this hop is 'Be Inspired by Circles'.

I wanted to share the room gifts I made my team girls who went to the recent Stampin' Up! Onstage event - however, in true 'Louise' style I packed them before taking a photo! They were similar to the box below and I made this one for a little surprise I made my bestfriend, Mehgan (from Phoenix, AZ) - I know she will appreciate this sweet monogrammed box - well she better! lol

The Mini Pizza Box is a new product in the Holiday Catalogue on page 44. They are 3x3" and so stinkin' cute! They are also food safe - great for a handmade biscuit or even a piece of salted caramel slice....(cough, cough...FYI for those looking to bring me anything for Christmas ;))

Next up to 'Be Inspired' by is my talented and super sweet friend, Janneke de Jong from the Netherlands.

 


If you live in Australia I would love to be your demonstrator! You can click on any of the items below and purchase them from my ONLINE SHOP

Stampin' Up! Artisan Blog Hop

03 November 2017


Welcome to the Artisan Design Team Blog Hop. You may have just arrived here from my lovely friend Kimberly Van Diepen from the US.

Today the Artisan Design Team are highlighting the STAMPIN' BLENDS! Yes, I'm yelling.....I'm just so excited!!! These NEW premier alcohol markers are high-quality with a dual-tip that come in 12 of Stampin’ Up!’s exclusive colours, each with a light and dark shade. I promise you can be a true colouring artist with these fabulous markers! 

I used the Ready for Christmas stamp set and coordinating Christmas Staircase Thinlits Dies from page 6-7 of the Holiday Catalogue. I do love that little Dachshund (or 'sausage dog' as it's known in the Sharp house! lol) - however it does look a little like our Jack-Russel and she would definitely be getting into the Christmas cookies if given half the chance!  

Stampin' Blends Features
  • Add just the right amount of colour where you need it with the brush tip or fine-point.
  • Each colour (except Ivory and Bronze) has a light and dark shade marker, available individually or in a combo pack.
  • We have done in-house testing for evaporation and life testing and are really happy with the results, so you can feel confident sharing them with your customers.
  • Press fit seal prevents air from entering the barrel and causing evaporation.
  • The nestable lids are easy to keep track of and have a tight fit for long-lasting colour.
