Fiskars Craft

First thing I do when I get

a NEW Fiskars Border Punch is add it's design to my Punch Design Ring......

So I've had fun creating a FEW new designs to my Interchangeable BorderPunch Ring

This is a great way of remembering which punch designs I have.....I have also done this for my older Fiskars Border Punches and Embossing Border Punches!

It's also handy to have this with me when I'm OUT and ABOUT to show others the fun designs that are NOW available through your Local Craft Stores!

I'm in EAST GIPPSLAND this week and I've spotted some of these NEW Interchangeable Border Punches on the shelves.....in SPOTLIGHT BAIRNSDALE!

Retailers can order the entire range of the  Fiskars Interchangeable Border Punches from Wholesaler SSS ....

                                     

.....AND yes......I have been playing around with these fun punches...here's a Birthday Card I created for my son's partner.......I just love creating whilst in Paynesville...............hoping to craft more later today and all this week.

For this card I used the "Daisy Chain Starter Set " and " Groovy Rainbow " Interchangeable Border Punches and some product from the Bella Nostalgia Range.......

                                       HAPPY PUNCHING!!!!

My night with Ingvild Bolme

What a fun night it was last night with INGVILD BOLME......a lovely lady who has made the trip from Norway to be in Australia for the PRIMA ROAD SHOW.

I caught Ingvild whilst she was eating and asked for a photoshoot......LOL!  Thanks Ingvild...you were a delight to meet and I thoroughly loved getting inky and messy......drove home with paint and ink all over my hands....LOL!

We arrived to find Heidi and the TEAM at SCRAPPY HOLLOW had prepared these gorgeous Goody Bags.....love the colour scheme.....a bit Fiskary.....LOL!

Check out the top of the Goody Bag....there is a little treat in there...and I haven't opened mine yet.....how good is that....he,he.

Heidi Jeffrey's had thought of everything.....here's what was on my table when I arrived...

A bottle of water,Goody Bag and gorgeous Workshop Kit from Prima which was filled with amazing products....I have heaps of flowers and bits and pieces leftover to use on more projects....

Heidi and her staff presented Ingvild with an embellished Boomerang using Prima products....

I thought that was a lovely thing to do and a great reminder for Ingvild of her visit to Australia....here are  just a few of the Scrappy Hollow Staff  Projects that were on display.....aren't they gorgeous............................

I need to print off a black and white pic and add to my LAYOUT.....so shall share when I've done that....I had a great night...I was in crafters heaven....getting messy and immersing myself in my project playing with yummy products!!

Sharing the Passion - Part 2

We sure gave the FISKARS Punches a great workout on the weekend over at Ferngully Stamps. I had Lever Punches,Corner Lever Punches,Border Punches,Hand Punches,Squeeze Punches and of course the latest FISKARS PUNCH SYSTEM....the "Everywhere Punch" along with the extra Cartridges.

I also got to create my very first Copic Marker Card...

So now I'm learning how to use these Copic markers....thanks to Cassy for teaching such a fun workshop....I'll be now adding some fun Coloured Stamped Images to my Punched Cards......

Store Owners Kerry and Maurie were able to give each participant a FREE GOODY BAG on leaving thanks to the generosity of some of their suppliers.....

 

also included in each GOODY BAG  was  a SPECIAL FERNGULLY STAMP...just released for the weekend....

This stamp says it all doesn't it "Plant a seed of friendship and watch it grow "

I had such a fun weekend teaching  others how to use the fabulous FISKARS TOOLS and I also learnt a few techniques from others over the course of the weekend.....and I love that crafters share their knowledge so willingly with others!

One of the most pleasing things for me was introducing the FISKARS TOOLS to many participants for the first time.....once they played with them....they loved them!!

Hope you have enjoyed seeing some of my pics from the weekend! If you are interested in coming to the next Demo Dayz at Ferngully Stamps then you can ring the store....I think it shall be in October sometime....it really is a fabulous fun weekend of crafting!!

more pics from my Crafty Weeekend - Lyn

I am still on such a HIGH after a fabulous craft weekend......demoing "Punching Techniques" and teaching around 300 partipants at Fern Gully Stamps Craft Store in Boronia how to have fun with punches......get creative.....and create a fun and personal Christmas card.

The one above was the Card I decided to go with after all the Circle Border Punches sold out..yes...even the Workshop ones......LOL!..so I decided that seeing I had already pre-cut over 300 of these.....4" circles using my Ultra Express Shapecutter that  we would use Decorative Scissors for the afternoon groups Sunday.....to create the tree from the 4" circle.....you just fold the circle into 4 and then cut along the folds.......very easy.....and a creative way to make some trees.....

We also gave the Fiskars Border Punches a work out ....I used "Sunburst" on my sample above......but some participants chose other designs....from what I had provided on the tables......many using these for the first time....we had some men join as well as some teenagers.....which was lovely to see.....there were also families crafting together......the Embossing Border Punches were also on the tables for participants to try...they proved popular.

here are a few more pics from the Weekend FUN!!

ON Sunday....the major door prize winner was drawn by Maurie.....one very excited lady I might add!

 

Lorraine was lucky enough to win a fabulous Fiskars Stamp Factory which Rod and I had donated.....she had only dropped by the store on Saturday morning to purchase a few supplies and saw us all having such a fun time....that she was able to book in for Sunday afternoon.....so she came back and had the best time.......as did we all.

I love how Maurie and Kerry organise this weekend...they hold these twice a year....and they have 5 workshops stations going at any one time....participants only pay $15 to attend which includes 5 demo workshops where different product/tools are demoed and introduced,afternoon or morning tea.....and 3 and a half hours of pure fun crafting! Crafters then have time to do some serious retail therapy.....it's so well run and I am privileged to have been working in this store the past 3 years....both for FISKARS and for Maurie and Kerry.

All participants got to do the following:

1) Punching -  talk and demo/punch techniques - create a Christmas Card using Punches in a creative way - with Lyn

2) Alison Ellis Papers /embossing powders - create a Christmas Card - Lace curtain technique

3) 3-D Sticker  Cards - using 3 -d tape and colouring stickers- CD micro wave technique explained

4) Stamping and Blending - Card

5) Embossing/diecuts with the BIG SHOT

Friday Night Session- the people from "Copic" provided an entertaining Workshop for all! Some of the FG Staff....Cassy,Jacqui and Marlene shall all be attending a Copic Certifcation Day shortly......so great news for those that visit this store...the ladies shall all be in the know soon.....and you can already purchase some of these fabulous markers in store.....very cheaply I might add....

I also learnt many techniques over the weekend......including the CD trick in the microwave.....love it!

We even had some Spotlight and Officeworks staff attend...and they also loved it! One came from Fountain Gate and the other from Ferntree Gully.

If you wish to attend the next one early next year......then feel free to contact the store.....or ask to be put on their mailing list so you don't miss out. It really is a fabulous weekend....I can gaurantee a great fun time!  Thanks again to Maurie,Kerry, Cassy,Marlene,Jacqui and Jodie.

Thank you to FISKARS for providing some great Door Prizes and bags.....there were winners in each session last night and today's two sessions.....more prize draws tomorrow.....

We have been using a variety of punches to create some fun Christmas Cards....and just playing around to see what the punches can do......loads of fun....

I was delighted today when I caught up with some Yarra Valley friends......thanks ladies for allowing me to take your pic.....Cristie,Robyn,Sally and Jenni. I haven't seen Robyn and her daughters for over 6/7 years and Jenny I haven't seen for probably 15 years when her children attended the School where i was teaching...........so ladies.....I know you'll be checking on here......THANK YOU!!  Lovely to see you all again!  I also caught up with Julie...another teacher I taught with......but didn't get a pic...next time Jules.....

It was nice to see many new people this time trying out tools for the first time...didn't take too long and they were addicted.....LOL!

These Demo Dayz are the best way to learn about different ools and product.....try before you buy and have fun along the way......

ok....need to get to bed for an early start tomorrow...shall try and take some more pics......I'd also like to thank store owners Maurie and Kerry for taking me out for dinner tonight.....great food,great company....great fun! What a fun staff to work with......absolutely love it!

Looky what I spotted

Now in Boronia.....at the LSS " CREATIVE DREAMS "...they have ALL 4 Designs available! Square,circle,scallop circle and scallop square........

I was speaking with store owner Marion this morning and she told me that they have the Starter Sets and the Extra Design Cartridges for the NEW Fiskars EVERYWHERE PUNCH......woohoo.....

These punches are only available through Wholesalers (SSS and Stamp -It)..So ask at your Local Store to see if they have them in yet....if not...tell them you would like them to get them in....they really are a MUST HAVE TOOL!  I'm loving mine!

Here a Punch...there a Punch...Everywhere A Fiskars Punch

WOWIE...have you seen the lastest Fiskars Everywhere Window Punch........it's fabulous for creating fun projects....especially Window Cards.....Adding Windows to Scrapbook Layouts/Projects,etc.......

I have been having fun playing around with this Punching System......creating some fun cards lately..

.......   BIRTHDAY CARD

...firstly I created this fun window birthday card for my DIL...Sally for her birthday which was yesterday......I don't normally use much red cardstock but I did this time as it's Sally's favourite colour.

......... CHRISTMAS CARD

So whilst I had the red out..... I thought I'd have a go at creating  a Christmas Window Card...again using the Square Cartridge.......I added some acetate under the windows and punched out some more Kaisercraft Chrsitmas Stamped images using my Fiskars 1" Circle Squeeze Punch and then punched out one red scalloped heart.....alos using my Fiskars My Funny Valentine Squeeze Punch.

Here are a few more close ups.....

I just love how easy this is to use.....you do need to get the Started Set and then you can also purchase other Cartridges...eg. Square..that just fit into the starter set base....so interchangeable.......gotta' love that..........these also come in a Scallop Square and Scallop Circle.

....and this what you see when the Everwhere Punch is in operation mode creating a card 

This Everywhere Punch Window System means that you can punch windows anywhere on your card or layout project.......so you can just move it around to suit.....and the base is magnetised so that the top and bottom stay in place once you have lined up where you wish to punch....there are also grid lines on the Placement Piece......think you might like one of these little beauties....??

These are available through Wholesalers  (SSS AND Stamp It)now.....so ask at your Local Craft Store to see if they have them....or can get them in for you......

I shall be taking my Fiskars Everywhere Punch Window System to FernGully Stamps Demo Dayz Craft Weekeend next weekend in Boronia for partipants to try.......in fact Maurie is trying to get some in as he just fell in love with my one this week when I visited......so I actually left it with he and Kerry......they loved it!.....it's actually on loan to them this week....shall be picking it up Thursday.......LOL!   That's how much they loved it....they just wanted to be able to play with it......just like I did.......LOL!

 Can't wait to work for FernGully Stamps again....they run the best Craft Weekend with over 300 partipants attending over 5 Workshop Sessions on the weekend.Door prizes,giveaways,show bags,workhops,access to new products....and it's a whole lot of fun.

Alison Ellis is also involved next weekend ....we sure are going to have a fun time crafting  ALL WEEKEND!! I'll share a few sneak peeks later in the week...you can book with the store...but be quick as Friday Night is already booked out....only a few spots left for Saturday Workshops...and a few left for Sunday.........it's going to be a Whole Lot Of Fun!!

Crafting for therapy - Lyn

Having not been well the past 2 weeks I have had very little energy.....but yesterday I managed to relax and craft most of the day......and it sure felt good getting my mind focused on creating again.......

I always take my Fiskars Punches with me when we come to Paynesville in East Gippsland and they were starting to feel neglected I'm sure the past 2 weeks......LOL! But at least I now have some fun Gift Cards all ready to go on Christmas pressies this year......nice to get them done. Does anyone else use craft as a way to relax and unwind?

I was recently sent this 2 and a half inch Circle Lever Punch to play with...OMG....it's perfect for creating Christmas Baubles.......fun Place Cards,etc.etc.

I love how the punched shape comes out underneath.....this is the same with all the Fiskars Lever Punches...

The Fiskars Lever Punches are available through Wholesalers and are now in many LSS and Craft Stores....so if you wish to purchase some of these fabulous punches why not ask at your Local Craft Store.......

The papers I have been using this weekend have been from the Kaisercraft Be Merry Collection....love...love...love the Glee Paper with the circles.....I'll be back in the next few days with more project shares including some sneak peeks of my Make"n"take Cards for the FernGully Stamps Craft Weekend on October 22nd-24th (Boronia) where we are going to be punching up a storm with the Lever,Squeeze and Border Punches........

Do you have a fabulous Local Craft Store that you would like us to share on here.....just let us know...these craft stores are great places to receive help with your crafting skills,meet new friends and just socialise.......many of these stores run retreats and can also be found at Craft Shows.....both Creative Dreams and FernGully Stamps shall have a Stand at the Picture to Page Show in Burwood.....November 13th and 14th.
