Wow. The day has finally come. I am writing my first official blog post. This is something I have been wanting to do for quite a while as it is definitely the right “next step” in my business. Many of you already follow me on my business Facebook page “The Pampered Stamper”. For that I am very thankful, but this will be another way to connect with stampers who are not on social media and who just want a little more. I hope that you will interact with me here and please let me know if there are topics you want me to cover and projects you would like me to share. My favourite thing is sharing little tips and tricks that make your stamping experience easier and less frustrating. Saving time and money are important and having fun is the ultimate priority!
Christmas is almost here so I am now thinking about the new year and I already have my first class planned for you! When I first saw the stamp set Beautiful You in the Occasions catalog, I knew I had to have it. The images are classic and the words that go with it are beautiful. This class will be perfect for beginner stampers and seasoned stampers alike. If you want to make a stack of twenty cards and feel like an amazing artist with no stress at all, this class is for you. There are two options: you can come to my class or you can pick a date and have your own private class with a group of friends. If you choose the second option you will get free product because the class supplies that need to be ordered will qualify as a party and you will get hostess rewards. The class includes the following supplies:
- Beautiful You stamp set.
- Watercolour Pencils.
- archival black ink pad
- soft sky ink pad
- 20 notecards and envelopes
- blender pen
- free item of your choice from the sale-a-bration catalog
The cost is $95 including tax and shipping. I know it is not cheap, but when you go home you will have twenty finished cards and you will have all the supplies to keep stamping and make many more beautiful things. The date for this class is Wednesday January 25 at 10am and 7pm. Pre-payment is required. If you would like to schedule your own private class, please let me know. Minimum of four people required for that.
You can see how the girls all look so different with the different colours chosen. The key difference with our new watercolour pencils is that they come in true Stampin’Up colours and they also blend beautifully, like warm butter!! Years ago we had watercolour pencils and they were not nearly as nice as these AND they were not in our true Stampin’Up colours. This new product gets my wholehearted endorsement and I can’t wait for you to try them yourself! If you choose not to watercolour, you can also add a stamped swoosh to the dress for a modern look.
I have also made a video showing you how I made these cards. If you are interested in that check it out here:
Yay, welcome to blog-land. Look forward to receiving your emails. Wish I lived closer so I could come and stamp with you. Take care xx

You picked the “hot” favorite for the Occasions catalog as your first blog post! Great CAS cards – what I struggle with the most. I will give them a go with your video to guide me! LOL So glad you are here. Off to subscribe. . .
Thanks so much Debbie. We do love our fancy cards don’t we…but every once in a while these clean and simple ones are just that, simply stunning!
Thanks so much Debbie. I am also an admirer of your work, so your words mean a lot to me.
Well this is just lovely. I follow you all the way from Australia and love trying the beautiful cards you make. I’m an amateur but slowly getting better. I’m sure you’ll love blogging, it’s a great way to share and inspire.
Thanks so much Cath!! Hope to visit your beautiful country sometime, maybe the next OnStage!!
Thanks so much Cath. The more cards you make and the more things you try, the better you get. It is such a fun hobby and there is so much inspiration from so many talented demonstrators. I appreciate your encouragement.
I love your work so much! I too am a SU! demonstrator and it was something you shared on FB that inspired me to start Coffee’n’card at my place. I have been doing it for over three years now.
Thank you so very much for your inspiration. It has travelled far and wide as I am also from Australia
Thanks so much Lucia for your kind words. I hope that your coffee and a card class is going well!
Thanks so much for your kind words Lucia. The coffee and a card class is indeed dear to my heart and I am so glad I inspired you and that it is going so well for you. Some day I hope to visit your beautiful country.
