Scentsy Has FINALLY Come to New Zealand!

The power of scent is incredible.  
It invokes so many memories, joy, relaxation, and even inspiration and motivation.  
I believe scent is so important.  
Think of when you smell your man on date night...
as opposed to after the gym :) Different feelings...

Well, I use to have my friends and family send me scented fragrance tarts from the states.  People always commented on how great my home smelled.  They would walk in and say Mmmmmmm what smells so great?!  And I'd show them. But the products here always smelled too much like plastic and the burners are very limited and really doesn't fit my taste or personality...and they can BURN your pets, children, and home...etc 

Scentsy is the 5th Largest Direct Sales Company in THE WORLD! 
There's a reason! 




Scentsy Fragrance has finally began in New Zealand and I am proud to say I am one of the first consultants to be able to bring it to you! 

What is Scentsy??? 
It is a safe, non-toxic, beautiful way to add fragrance to your environment! No Flames. Low heat warmers and special food grade wax that never gets so hot it will burn you or your loved ones. It's perfect if you have pets and children...or clumsy men :) 
There is also laundry, body & a special Children's product line. 
Over 80 Scentsational Scents to choose from.

Colouring Curvy Vellum Keepsake

#thedailymarker30day colouring project I did tonight. It's using the Curvy Keepsake Die, and the new Sheer Perfection Designer Vellum Paper Stack that you can get for free
 during Sale-A-Bration. 

I used the Melon Mambo and Old Olive Blendabilities 
to jazz it up, some Basic Gray Cardstock for the sides 
and threw a battery operated Tea Light to really make you go "ooh ahh" :) 


Then, just to finish it off, I used a scrap of my left over vellum 
punched out with the 3/4" Circle Punch. 
I then punched a 1" Circle of Blushing Bride Cardstock for the backing 
and added a flower punched with the Itty Bitty Accent Punch 
secured with a Brad and some Basic Grey Bakers Twine.

Colouring Challenge

Since I've been little --- probably since I could hold a crayon, I have loved colouring. I find it soothing, therapeutic, and great therapy...and colours keeps my attention. 

The other day, I stumbled upon this challenge on Instagram. The challenge is to COLOUR! 
Of course I had to try! I'm 2 days in, I'm sure you can jump in anytime! I am, of course, only using Stampin' Up! Products, but think it will help me do what I love and come up with some cool projects as well! I have provided the link so you can get a feel and all the details! 




My friend Jo has LOTS of papercraft supplies and one thing she doesn't enjoy is colouring!!! What?!? So she stamped these non-Stampin'Up! Bears on paper and asked me to colour them. 
This was a great excuse to finally do just that! 
She stamped them on watercolour paper, which I've never coloured on before, 
but I started to like the effect. 

 On the bear, I used my Stampin' Up! Blender Pen, and 3 Stampin' Pads
 (Baked Brown Sugar, Chocolate Chip, and Crumb Cake)

On the car, I used several different colours of Stampin' Up! Blendabilities 
(Coastal Cabana, Basic Grey, and Daffodil Delight...and a lil Melon Mambo)

Today, I started to think outside the box a little. What stamp set don't I use often but could colour in? Point and Click from the Project Life line was the winner. There are so many different shapes to help you with memory keeping, but also card making! I think I'll be trying the rest from that set!!! 


For the "colouring", I used my Stampin' Up! Blender Pen and 3 Stampin' Pads (Melon Mambo, Pacific Point, and Crushed Curry). I stamped the image using Black Tuxedo Memento Ink on Whisper White cardstock.

I then used a strip of Burlap Ribbon, a strip of Basic Black Cardstock, and a small flower made with Crushed Curry Cardstock and the Itty Bitty Punch, topped with a Candy Dot. 

The quick tag also used Memento Ink and Whisper White Cardstock, Baked Brown Sugar Thick Bakers Twine, Note Tag Punch, hole/circle punch, and the FREE Sale-A-Bration "You Brighten My Day" Stamp Set. 

I really like the way it turned out. And it's inspired me to use that stamp set more! Plus, as a bonus, it's the first card I've made since my back surgery!!! It's progress that I could sit that long (Swiss ball as a chair helps lots!) 

Let me know if you've joined the colouring challenge too! 
Be a kid - growing up is a trap! Don't fall for it!

January Projects

A little Hostess Gift for one of my January Hostesses. Had little stamping supplies inside.
With the launch of the new Occasions Catalogue and Sale-A-Bration incentives, January has been full of Stampedes! There are SO many new and fun things to play and create with!  Even after doing this several years, it was so much fun to take something I haven't tried before, and just say "here goes nothing" and have it turn out to be "really something"! Here are some of the projects I am teaching this month at home parties and at my monthly workshop too.



This was for a door prize at a home party filled with card-making supplies.

The Feathered Thanks Make and Take


Taken directly out of the Sale-A-Bration Brochure...but different bakers twine was used.




A lil thank you gift for a new customer and friend.


I decided to play even more. I made 11 of these for my Team Get Together Swap!


These were made for my monthly workshop Attendees



This I made for a new friend who joined my Wunder Woman Stampers Team - Her favourite colours are pink and purple!


I started making a Valentine's Day card and hated it, so with some tweaking, made this instead! :)


This was my first attempt with the Irresistibly Yours Special Designer Series Paper.

Gift Card Holders


This idea has been around for awhile, but I actually needed something for a family member for the holidays.  Those ugly cardboard backings they come attached to aren't very festive or celebratory! So here are some other designs! These are so easy to make! And I used scraps on all of them! That's makes them even cooler! 

This cutie and saying is from the "Cheerful Critters" stamp set in the NEW Occasions Catalogue

The "You Made My Day" is from the Best Day Ever Stamp Set you can get for FREE during Sale-A-Bration!





"Happy Day" is from the Cheerful Critters Stamp Set in the NEW Occasions Catalogue!




Here's how you make these little gems: 
1. Get a Piece of paper 4" x 9 5/8 "
2. Score at 1 3/4", 4 1/2", 5 3/4", 7"
3. Use your bone folder to crease your score lines, and voila! 
4. Just secure the bottom with a THIN line of Sticky strip and cut a slit into the top of "tent" to allow card to slide in and out.
