Thank you to everyone who bought my stamp set, not only you will get a
fenomenal bargain but you also made the newbie stamp designer very
happy!
I think I didn't get to mention that my prefered inkpads for this sets
are Versafine, versamagic and brilliance in order or preference. And
also that they combine with several punch sizes but I will explain
that in more detail in another post.

Exhausted/excited

After stitches and craft day over at Qvc I am beyond eshausted. But I
am so happy how both have turned up. My stamp set sold out in a couple
of minutes, didn't really have a chance to talk about them in detail
or demonstrate them. I am planing some more posts in here so I can
feature several of their uses. By the way, the stamps will hit the
shops at the end of march, so if you missed out on them you may be
able to see them in a shop near you.
Going back to stitches, you know the craft trade show, it was so much
fun. I really enjoy working there at the kars stand, and this was the
fifth time that I was there. My friends Cindy Rapson (making memories)
and Vanessa Noonan (cricut) were once again demonstrating at the same
booth, as well as new friends Suzie (jewelry) and Ruth (gypsy).
I love the trade show, as well as seeing all the new products and
techniques, you meet so many friends and you make some new ones. It is
hard work, but it is great!

Craft Day, Exciting!

So today, if everything goes according to plan I will be on air with my own stamps (19:00h), how cool is that? And they have my name on the product! Check it out!

Stitches: More Boxes

I decorated this boxes, actually cubes using Basic Grey's Capella Collection.

Tomorrow, Craft Day at QVC! So excited! I will be on air at 12:30 or so, and then again at 13:00 and at 19:00.

Stitches: Box

This little box features Basic Grey's Green at Heart collection.

Stitches: Card

Since I am demonstrating tomorrow at Stitches the Cuttlebug products and Basic Grey new collections, I am posting this card today. I must say, I like this card for a man!

The time of the year

This month, February, is a but crazy for us pro crafters. There are many things to do, many places to go, many people to see.

Stitches, the trade show, is happening this weekend (Sun, Mon, Tues). As usual I will be demonstrating at the Kars booth. I will be using the Cuttlebug, which as you know is one of my all time favorite tools. I will be there on Sunday and Monday.

Tuesday is Craft Day at QVC, and I am on air at 12:30 and at 19:00. As I will be helping behind the scenes as well, I will get home probably after 1 am. So, all in all, a few exhausting days ahead, and behind me too.

Talking about QVC. I was there working behind the scenes for Dawn on Tuesday, when I saw a girl that look familiar. While the Morning Show was on I saw that they were featuring some make up sets. I realized that the girl look familiar because she was Lauren Luke. I know she is not like a massive big star, but I have been watching her make up tutorials over at YouTube for quite a while, so I was a bit star struck. As I am a shy person -yes, really I am!- I did not say anything. When I was leaving the studio, I bumped into her and said something to her. She was so lovely, just like on her videos.

Isn't it nice when you meet people in real life and they do not disappoint?

Be loved, part 4!

So, this is the front of the card.

The inside of the card is what is really elaborate.

The last page.

A close up of the inside detail.

Be loved in acetate. part 3

This is another card I taught last Thursday at The Glitter Pot.

As before, I used Be loved papers and Martha Stewart punches.

Since the card is made out of acetate, I needed to cover up any elements
that were glued on the front.

And the inside.

More of Be Loved

Well, since the brief of the class was Martha Stewart Punches, I used some of my favourite ones, which include that amazingly beautiful butterfly.

Of course, the Be Loved papers dictated the color combo.

All the materials are available from The Glitter Pot: Sizzix Die, Papers, Stamps, and Martha Stewart punches, Monarch Large Butterfly, Classic Butterfly, Around the page Eyelet Lace and scallop punch.
