Last week the Paper Angels Demonstrators had a number of demonstrator meetings at various times and locations. We were treated to a very special make and take, thanks to the efforts of Felicity Laritz, who designed and created this awesome ‘Dinosaur Diorama Card’. More than 30 demonstrators learnt how to create this awesome boy’s card. If you were unable to make the demonstrator’s meeting or are a long distance demonstrator, Felicity kindly created a PDF instruction sheet to share with Paper Angels Demonstrators. Please email me if you would like an instruction sheet.
We will base our next demonstrator meeting challenge on this card. So if you are a Paper Angels Demonstrator, you are invited to create and bring to the meeting, your version of this card or something inspired by this card. I have heard demonstrators talking about ‘fairy scenes’, ‘underwater scenes’ etc. You are only limited by your own imagination. Great prizes on offer plus the fun of sharing your ideas! Demonstrators unable to attend the meeting are welcome to post their entry to me.
If you are a customer who would like to learn to make this card, book a workshop and I will be happy to teach you this card as a complimentary make & take. Alternately, I will be sharing this card at Craft Group on Tuesday 15th May 10am at the Wynnum Manly Worker’s Club, Bognor St, Tingalpa.

The last couple of weeks I have been working on 3 scrapbook page designs that I taught at my recent classes, last Friday and Sunday. Having taught these pages twice now, I have been lucky enough to create 9 pages in total including my initial samples. I love this because I have been able to make real headway with 3 albums in a short space of time. Working with beautiful papers, such as Stampin’ Up!s ‘Attic Boutique’ make it easy to find treasured photographs amongst my collection that will coordinate. My next scrapbooking events will be on Friday 18th May and Sunday 20th May, with details being added to the events section of my website soon. Here are the results of my latest scrapbooking blitz.

I have been having a lovely time using ‘Attic Boutique’ Designer Series Paper! Stampin’ Up!’s coordinated products mean that I can create titles and accents to perfectly match. On this page I created a ribbon swap using the NEW Pool Party Seam Binding Ribbon as well as a title accent using Pool Party & Calypso Coral Classic Inks. Interlocking mitered frames were created using the DSP.
I am running 2 classes in my home studio, where I will be teaching the 3 scrapbook pages I have uploaded using ‘Attic Boutique’ Designer Series Paper. Learn how to create ribbon swags, personalised accents and perfect mitered frames. Friday 4th May 10am-1pm OR Sunday 6th May 2pm-5pm. Class cost is $25 and you will complete 3 12×12 pages. Please bring your basic kit (adhesives, trimmer, scissors). Photos are not required as they may be added later. Bookings are essential and payment is preferred to secure your place. Contact me by email or phone 0448 896 001. Paper Angel Demonstrators are also welcome to attend either class and may supply their own materials – please email me for a materials list.

For those of you that thought I was forgetting to upload the balance of the recent demonstrator swaps, fear not! – I will be sharing the work of all 30 participants. As you can imagine this takes a bit of time, although I seem to be on a roll tonight! It seems to be like a rolling feast of creativity – at least there’s no such thing as overindulging in inspiration.
Another big thank-you to ALL our creative participants, four of whom decided to showcase the ‘Mixed Bunch’ Stamp Set on page 21 of the current NEW Autumn Winter Mini Catalogue! What we all love about this stamp set, apart from the gorgeous design, is that you can purchase a COORDINATING PUNCH! Yes, we all love to NOT have to cut these sort of images out with scissors don’t we! Oops, double negative, but I’m sure you know what I mean!
Gaye used ‘Twitterpated Designer Series Paper’, which I haven’t covered yet but that is super gorgeous, whilst Alice used a striking combination of Island Indigo with Real Red, and Jen made each of us am individually monogrammed card – neat idea! I’m loving card number 4 but I have no name on the back of the card, so if you are the designer, drop me an email and I’ll edit this post.

This post entry is dedicated to my lovely hostess Cindy, who shared with me how great ‘Air Dry Clay’ is to stamp in. This brings me to mention, that as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, workshops are a great source of ‘two way’ creative inspiration. Whilst I am there to teach and inspire, I always walk away from a workshop with new ideas, having enjoyed hearing what my customers are creating and the ideas that they have for Stampin’ Up! products. I hope to get together with Cindy soon to create some more ‘Air Dry Clay Tags’, however in the meantime, I just had to have a go!
I have a special stamp, which I purchased at last year’s Stampin’ Up! Convention in Melbourne. The stamp has a wonderful sentiment ‘Love what you do, Share what you Love’. I thought this would look fantastic on a white clay tag, hanging from my ‘Upcycled’ jars which have been turned into fancy tool holders. I have lined each of the jars with ‘Attic Boutique Designer Series Paper’ as well as an inner lining of OHP (overhead projector plastic) to keep the inside neat – Goodness that sounds a bit OCD and I assure you, I am anything but!
Imagine having a gorgeous tag on your favourite tool jar! This week, I will be creating a bunch of these tags to share with my Paper Angels Demonstrator Friends. So, if you would like to book a workshop in May, you will receive one of these gorgeous tags.
If you would like to Book a Workshop please contact your participating Paper Angels Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator who sent you this link, or if I am your demonstrator or you would like to find a demonstrator who can help you, please contact me on 0448 896 001 or email liz@craftclassroom.com
