Star Of Light Christmas Stampathon Card

Welcome to the 4th Installment of the Christmas Challenge Stampathon 2018 with three of my Demo buddies Ruth Trice 'Artful Stampin' from the UK, Denise Garrison 'Lady Bug Stampin' from USA, Rosalie Desmond from Australia. Our April is Challenge is to make at least 4 Christmas Cards that are Black and White with a Pop of Colour ready for Christmas.

You all have till May 24th to get your entries in and play along.

Here is my process Video on how this card was made. 

Please make sure you subscribe to my Channel so you don't miss any of my videos

I rarely use black so this challenge was certainly a challenge. I recently purchased the Star of Light stamp set which I immediately thought of a night sky and added star stamps from the stamp set in Whisper White Craft ink to create the background. My pop colour is Daffodil Delight I used it for the statement star that I created using the matching Starlight Thinlits with Vellum and Daffodil card stock. I coloured the vellum using the light Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blend Marker and covered both with generous lick of Wink of Stella to twinkle. The sentiment is white heat embossed on vellum with a sentiment also from the Star Of Light stamp set.

I love sparkle of the Wink Of Stella

Ellen Does OnStage April 2018 Sydney!

I just had an amazing weekend at Luna Park in Sydney for 2018 OnStage April. It was extra excited  not just to see the NEW NEW 2018-2019 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue and my demonstrator friends. I was a Display Stamper which mean I got some of the NEW 2018-2019 Catalogue Products Early and share them on the Display Boards. 

I arrived a little early before the Friday night event to set up my board and here it is below

 

My amazing friend Caroline Evans and Liv Ingle who were also Display Stampers helped me set it up my board which was amazing.

Here is a pic of Carolina and I

Kayla Renee MacAuley was also one of the amazing Display Stampers and a scrappy friend I have known for a really long time

In the process of setting up we had some laughs like my projects attaching to my watch band as it velcro!!!!! Only me Seriously

I didn't get to making any swaps but did make team gift and received some beautiful swaps and here is a video showcasing those

I was lucky enough to to earn an extra perk of the CentreStage evening which involved training, mingling with other leaders, dinner, trivia and a whole lot of fun and since Stampin' Up! is 30 Years old this year the evening was themed 80's

I shopped my wardrobe and put together this ensemble complete with scarf around my head and borrowed beads from my mums collection

Sara Douglass and I (she is our CEO!)

On Saturday was the main OnStage with almost 600 of my Demonstrator friends and the room was so colourful here are pictures of the different tables that all coordinated

This is my crazy friend Rosalie who came from Victoria

Renae was apparently very excited to see my display

I apparently had to be adorned my a stray pearl

We are not cheeky and crazy together at all!!

I was very excited to have 8 of team members with me and here my gorgeous Wicked Woody's Girls

One of the best things about OnStage is making new friend and this is Dirk who looks after ALL the Photos and Videos for everything Stampin' Up! and I must say he does an amazing job and was fun to get to know!!

I have also shared a closer look at the products I received at onstage which are amazing over on Facebook Page so be sure to check it out!!!

Paint Play Collage Birthday Card #sucolorchallenge

I am here today to share with you my April Stampin' Up! Color Challenge. This month we are playing with Dapper Denim, Soft Sky, So Saffron and Smoky Slate and Paint Play stamp set from Stampin' Up!

    

      

 I made these 3 backgrounds all at the same  making a collage playing with all the shapes in the Paint Play stamp set and well as the challenge colours. For the sentiment I used the Stamparatus to Stamp the Happy and Birthday so they line up perfectly and then punched them out with the Everyday Label Punch and layered that with a circle of vellum cut from the Layering Circle Framelits in the Big Shot.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      

The Stamparatus will available to purchase in the upcoming Annual catalogue in June. 

It can used just like this to stamp multiple images on a card (but not this fast!)
