Distress Stains and Kaszazz new products!

It's been a few weeks now since the January New Product Release, so I thought I would list my Top 10 (oops I ended up with 11)  favourite products from this release:

MC002 Window Boxed Cards - Vintage Dreams - Created by Cheryl Devlin

One of the cards inside it's window box, coloured with Distress Stain.

Top 10

1. 4531Q Vintage Frame Stamp. I included this stamp in the Masterclass workshop MC002 Window Boxed Cards - Vintage Dreams.   This was a project I designed for our Team Training Day in mid January (see picture above).  The Masterclass concept was introduced in January and features workshops that are designed for the experienced crafters who are looking to learn new techniques.
   
2. Distress Stains. I have been having fun playing with the new Distress Stains.  Water reactive like the Distress Inks, they are a quick and easy way to add unique coloured backgrounds to your projects.  Something that has to be seen to truly appreciate.  The colour used in the Window Boxed Cards is Spun Sugar.
3. The New Vintage Floral SB Paper Range (an extension to the ever popular Emily Rose)
4. 4528K Mini Messages Affirmations stamp set featuring the words Imagine, Inspire, Believe, Love, Live, Play, Dream, Laugh and Create - perfect for Card Making, Scrapbooking and Off the Page Projects.
5. 4533Q Mannequin Stamp Yet another gorgeous stamp that made it into my Top 10.  There are already a number of new projects that feature this stamp set, including the workshop pictured and I'm sure there will be many more.
6. 4500K French Flair Large Stamp. A larger version of our previously released French Flair Small Stamp.  My 13yo daughter is a fan of all things French at the moment, so she decided to alter one of the tables in her room using this stamp and some rub-ons (as pictured)
7. 4540M Notions Stamp Set This set is still waiting for me to design something with.  My mum was a dressmaker, so we were always surrounded by thimbles, buttons etc. I just loved sitting watching her sew and started sewing myself when I was young.
8. 4525M Summer Blooms Stamp Set Another gorgeous stamp set!  These blooms are perfect for adding to the background of clustered flowers on your cards and sb layouts.  They are also featured in the Window Boxed Cards.
9. 4534Q Bunting Stamps Bunting Stamps are appearing on lots of projects lately.  This stamp set makes it easy to add Buntings to anything you like.  Try stamping once on your project and then stamp again onto a piece of card. Cut out the images and mount them onto the image you stamped onto your project.
10. 45239I Bicycle and Basket Stamp  This is such a cute stamp - how could you resist.
11. I know I said 10, however I couldn't miss out on the new Ring Bound Journals, waiting for you to alter for yourself or as a gift.  Each Journal includes a new Journal Pocket, and these are also available in packs of five.

All of the above products are featured in our latest January New Product Flyer.  Please feel free to Contact Me if you would prefer a real copy to add to your Catalogue collection, or if you would like to book your own FREE Make and Take Demonstration or Workshop, where you will have an opportunity to try the new products for yourself.

Kaszazz May New Products

The Kaszazz May New Products were released just over a week ago at Team Training Days across Australia.

The Scrapbooking Layout pictured below was one of the Team Training Day Projects completed on the day.   There is a little story that goes with the layout, so thought I would share.

The main page is a picture of my youngest daughter Nikki (who turns 9 today - Happy Birthday Nikki!) doing what she loves the most - creating a story through her drawings - drawings that use the whole page and include lots of details - she has the most amazing imagination.

In the layout pictured below I decided to include the photo of Nikki drawing her stories (Creating some of her Life Story) and then the photos on the pocket pages are of Nikki and her sister Carly bringing some of Nikki's stories to life while we were on our Adelaide to Cairns road trip adventure in December 2010 and January 2011.

I am hoping to add some more pages of our Adventure to my blog sometime in the not too distant future!

I love the new Kaszazz 4485L Sakura Corner Image.  One of the things I love about Kaszazz is that I requested a corner image and this is what they came up with - gorgeous.

The three cards pictured below have been created using the same theme as the layout above.  The flowers on the cards have been cut using our new Kaszazz Flower #11 die.  I've also used one of the stamps from the new gorgeous and versatile Sekura Flourish Stamp Set.

 

 
Please email me if you would like a copy of the Kaszazz New Products Flyer or View the new products flyer online here.  All of the products above are available to order from me.

 

Happy Easter everyone and thanks for popping in to say Hi at the Stansbury Beachside Markets!

So Where were you this Easter?  Wherever you were, I hope you enjoyed spending time with your family and friends.

Thank you to those who popped in and said Hi at the Stansbury Beach side Markets on Easter Saturday.  What a gorgeous day - absolutely perfect South Australian Weather.  It was lovely meeting you all and I look forward to catching up again soon.

Here are a few snapshots of my family Easter.

Mmmm yummy Easter Eggs!

Carly and Nikki with their eggs - a gorgeous location for the Easter Egg Hunt - Pt Victoria.

Most of the Devlin Kids together at the Pt Rickaby Sand hills - wish you were here too Brett!

Wishing you and your families all a very Happy Easter!

Cards for boys/men

Thought I would quickly post a picture of my youngest son's 18th Birthday Card - Happy Birthday Jake!!  Don't let Jake know that I'm sharing his card with you all, before we have given it to him! Shh  Jake has created Canvas Art for some of his friends using Spray Paint, so decided to go with the same look using our Smooch Spritz - so much fun and you never get the same result twice.  In this card I have used Blue and Green Smooch Spritz, our versatile clock images and one of the messages from the new Retro Messages Set (6 messages in the set for $15).  To finish off the card I added some embellishments from our Aged Copper Embellishment Kit (perfect for male themed cards)!
