Welcome To The Eureka Stampers Blog Hop!













Hi & welcome to our very 1st Eureka Stampers Blog Hop!  I was so excited to be able to join in the fun with such a talented group of ladies.   As part of this Blog Hop all of our blogs are linked together, so that no matter where you start, as long as you keep clicking on the link for the next blog, you'll eventually work yourself all the way around, and back to where you started.  Hopefully you'll be inspired by all the amazing projects that you see, and perhaps leave a comment on each of the blogs, so we know you were there, and how you liked the projects.
For this Hop, we chose to showcase lots of NEW products from the 2014-2015 Annual Catalogue.   If you were following the links, you came to my blog from Rose Packer's Blog – isn't she amazing?!  I love Rose's work, and her fresh eye for creating.
My first project is a combination the Moonlight DSP Paper Stack, the gorgeous new In Colours -  Hello Honey & Blackberry Bliss & "Hello There!" a very cute new Hostess stamp set on page 237 of the 2014 -2015 Australian Catalogue.   
I have made a set of 3 cards using a base of Sahara Sand.   I chose to use 3 different embossing folders to create 3 different, yet similar cards.  




Do you have a favourite?  

To go along with this card set I also created 3 little matching bags, each one is made from 1 sheet of the Moonlight DSP paperstack.  I originally saw this idea on YouTube & just had to give it a try. 


I have used the cute little In Colour Clothespins to help keep the 2 basic little bags closed.  I have provided the template (below) for making the bags which hold a small chocolate or Freddo frog.  They are perfect sized for a table gift or treat.  As you can see I stepped up the middle one which is a little more intricate.  I used the scallop topper punch as a flap closure, but the other two were left open.  



And here they all are together.  I love that our range of products all match and how easy it is to make a whole party or theme from just a few core products.



I hope that you've enjoyed the projects that I've shared with you today!  I'd really appreciate it if you have the time to leave a comment, and let me know what you think.  
Next you'll be heading over to see the talents of Heather McCarthy's Blog– I know you'll love her projects!  I hope you'll come back and join us again next time….until then, Happy Stamping!

Saying Goodbye To Simple Stems


Simple Stems is yet another gorgeous stamp set retiring at the end of this month.  It can be found in the Occasions Catalogue on page 33.  Remember this mini catalogue ends June 30th as well!

This is a card I made using Simple Stems & Hardwood & is based on one by Jenny Moors.    Those of you that came to my Biggest Morning Tea Fundraiser got to make a set of 3 of these cards in a cute chevron bag.  I used Afternoon Picnic DSP focusing on Coastal Cabana & Crushed Curry, which were my theme colours for the day.

Simple Stems & Hardwood birthday card
Here is the bag that the ladies made on the day to hold their cards & envelopes in.  Please note the Coastal Cabana Ruffle Ribbon I used on the bag is also retiring at the end of the month.  

One thing I made that was very popular on the day was this beautiful paper sponge cake.  I have had many requests to run this as a class & am glad to say this will be going ahead on 29th June.  Up the top of my blog there is a section called CLASSES.  Please feel free to look in there to see if anything interests you. 

Paper Sponge Cake
This cake can be used to hold cake slices as it has individual slices that form a box.  This cake is made from Naturals Ivory to make it look like a sponge cake.  The theme for the day was the Biggest Morning Tea so there were lots of high tea goodies & displays.    We had a great day & raised over $750 for the Cancer Council.  I want to take this opportunity to send out a very special thank you to everyone who attended or donated on the day.


Thanks For Looking,
TRICIA

Goodbye to Rev Up The Fun!


As promised I am going to spend the month showing you some ideas using some retiring products that I will miss.  Today I am showing you a few of my creations using the retiring stamp set Rev Up The Fun.  My samples were aimed at boys aged 8-14 years this time, however this stamp set lends itself to any male age.


My 1st card was made for my nephew Kobi who turned 12 last month.  He loves sports cars & a quick simple card was called for.  I am going to miss Midnight Muse soooooo much :(  


This card was one we did at stamp club a few months ago.  I based it on one I had seen on Pinterest by Heather Summers.  I changed it slightly but loved the colour combo so tried to stay fairly close to her sample.  Gorgeous Grunge lends itself well to Rev Up the Fun don't you think?


Thanks For Looking,
TRICIA
