Sue's August Kits

Orders have closed now for my July DSP kits.  I've placed the order for the supplies and they're due to go in the post on around the 15th August. If you've ordered one - I'll send through tracking once they're postal.  

My Handy Basics Kit was quite popular so I'm offering that one again this month.  Details here:  Sue's Kits.   Orders close on the 15th August.  Keep an eye out mid month and I'll open ordering for my next two DSP and coordinating cardstock kits.   This month it is Tea Party DSP and Santa Express DSP. 

I think that is all the news for now.  I had such a great day today.  Jack was at school, John went to the office, Hannah had uni and it wasn't a teaching day for me.  So I had the house to myself for a few hours.  What bliss!!  Doesn't happen often these days.  I didn't quite make it into the craft room but blasted the music, did some housework, ticked a few things off my Monday list and sat down to try learning piano.  All in all a rather nice day.  

Have a great week.  Cheers, Sue

Aren't these hippos so cute.  They're from the stamp set Hippest Hippos (one of our saleabration options free with a $90 order.)   I've used my Stampin' Blends to colour them in and teamed them with the Picture This Dies.  I've also used a few scraps of the Rings Of Love DSP (another of our Saleabration free products.)  

Here's a few step by step pics. 

First - stamp with memento black ink. 

Choose some Stampin' Blends to add some colour.  I've used gray granite, smoky slate, crumb cake and a touch of poppy parade. 

I'm definitely not an expert colouring person - I usually start with the light colour, then add some of the darker shade, then go back with the lighter shade to blend.  

When I finished colouring I roughly cut around  each hippo and adhered them to the back of the circles with tape.  (Crumb Cake cardstock and Picture This Dies.)  I also added some scraps of patterned paper.  

Stick down on a white card base and all done.  

Happy creating,

Cheers, Sue

Just a quick note to let you know I've opened up orders for my two July DSP (patterned paper) and coordinating cardstock kits.

This month I'm featuring Textured Chic Specialty DSP from our Annual Catalogue and Boughs Of Holly DSP from our Mini.

I hope it will be useful for you to have the option of a 1/4 pack of the patterned paper plus some A5 sized coordinating cardstock (and a few other coordinating products.) 

Let me know if you have any questions about the kits.  

Cheers, Sue
