RG Make Amazing team

Hey there everyone, today I wanted to share some exciting news that happened about a month ago which I shared on Facebook but just haven't had a chance to get it shared on here.  I have been asked to join an amazing team full of the most talented ladies.  I truly feel blessed to be on this team and experiencing all the fun I have already.

I have worked with Richard's designs for some time now being first introduced them through my designing for Spellbinders where his first signature collection was released.  I was fortunate to meet him while on my first trip to the US 2 years ago.  Richard is the President of Fun Stampers Journey a direct selling company and along with his wife Gabby are Co-founders of Journey Blooms.  I am very excited to be working with his new retail lines and can't wait for you all to see them.  

I just got back from the US where I got to meet some of the 'Make Amazing Girls' so I thought I would share a few pics of the fun we had.

This month 2 Crafty are sponsoring over at 'Scrap Around the World' challenge blog.  I love their challenges and the mood board this month was designed by my good friend Heather McMahon and I LOVE her interpretation of it!  As 2 Crafty are sponsors we got the opportunity to be guest designers and boy did I have fun with this mood board!  I LOVED the colours and circle textures in the mood board and so set about with those as my focus.  Being such a colourful page I really wanted to contrast it against with a striking photo - being this one of when I painted my boy's face into a Zebra. He was SO excited to see the page that it quickly made it up into one of the 10 frames I have around the house with some of my favourite pages!



Here is the fun mood board my page was based on:





I thought you might like to get up close with my creation so here are some detail pics of my page along with which Chipboard pieces I used to create it xx

Spellbinders YUMMY Sapphire machine is doing the rounds


Hi Everyone today I am here to share with you some fun projects I have created with the new Spellbinders Sapphire collection.  This collection of dies makes creating so fun and easy and teamed up with the wonderful new entry level machine that looks OH SO CUTE it could not be more fun!

And you have a chance to get your hands on one for yourself!  More details on that at the end.


Currently Spellbinders have a blog hop with partnering companies sharing projects from all over three days.  I just adore the products these companies share with us and set about using them on my fun projects.  Along with these I used Spellbinders Sapphire Collection Die sets:

Basic Set B - PHS-503
Birds and Butterflies PHS-507

Butterfly Reverse Canvas


To create the canvas above perfect for a sweet gift start by turning your canvas around so you are working in the reverse area.
  • Add DecoArt® Gesso to all the inside and allow to dry.
  • Add some DecoArt® Modling paste over the staples and allow to dry
  • Cut/emboss the large butterfly from the Sapphire Birds and Butterflies PHS-507 set from different papers in the My Mind's Eye 'Fancy that' collection
  • Add a little colour with Faber-Castell® Design Memory Craft® Gelatos in metalic melon to the white areas of any butterfiles
  • Adhere butterflies using Beacon 3-in-one all purpose Adhesive
  • Now wrap and give to that special person!
See you don't need to do much with these sweet die sets to create beautiful projects!  

                     Butterfly Reverse Canvas
I couldn't just stop at the gift so I created a card to match in as well - could a gift given in such a way be more sweet?   

Layer some more of the My Mind's Eye 'Fancy that' collection papers onto a white cardstock base
  • Layer more My Mind's Eye 'Fancy that' collection papers onto a whitle cardstock base
  • Add some splatter from the Imagine Crafts® Tangelo Fireworks spray
  • Cut/emboss 3 different size butteflies from the Sapphire Birds and Butterflies PHS-507 set from white cardstock and adhere to the card with your Beacon 3-in-one all purpose Adhesive
  • Cut/emboss the large tag from the Basics B Set PHS-503 from white cardstock
  • Stamp your 'Happy Birthday' sentiment from the Kaisercraft 'Pop Quotes' clear stamp set with the Tsukineko® Tuxedo Black StazOn ink pad.
  • Tie a little cream twine from May Arts to each side of the tag
  • Adhere with foam squares from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and your card is ready

My projects today were created with
Check out the full details of the hop here and how you can go about getting your hands on one as well!

Sharing card fun with versatility



Hi Everyone here again today to share another fun stamping technique with the new Bella Fundamentals stamps.  I just love these little sets and how versatile they are!  Teamed up with some of the wood veneer alpha sets they make the perfect Father's Day or Dad's birthday card


Products Used:

Bella Fundamentals Krafty Goodness Paperz
Bella Fundamentals Clear Stamps - Friends
Bella Fundamentals Wood Veneers FUN13
la Fundamentals - Vellum A4 Sheets plain

As you can see below the wood veneer alphas really add a wow factor to the card.  This card could EASILY be adapted to a different theme... change the 'DAD' word for 'FRIEND' or 'MUM' or EVEN 'NANNA' or 'PA'

Having all the alphas in the pack enables you to make a quick and easy fun set of cards ready for all the upcoming birthdays!  And best of all it is totally gender neutral!

I'm an IndigoBlu Belle and SO EXCITED!

A while back I fell in love with this UK company that produced some of the most inspiring and fun stamps on the market.  I ordered some of their stamps and I was so excited when they arrived in the mail.  When I saw they had a design team call recently I knew I just HAD to put in as to work with all their yummy products not just their divine stamps would truly be a dream come true!

Well yes...... DREAMS REALLY DO COME TRUE!

I have been BURSTING to share that I (although I can't believe it) have made this amazing team full of such inspiring artists!  I have already been getting busy and planning to share LOTS of their wonderful products with everyone and my take on all things IndigoBlu.

Head on over to the website to have a sneak into the yumminess that I will be playing with!

As I said I have been busy playing with the products and here is a sneak of one of my first layouts I have created with them that I will be teaching at some upcoming events around the country.


Have an awesome day or night depending where you are in the world!

Happy Crafting
