Perth, Western Australia, Australia
My name is Concetta Marchese and I’m an Independent Stampin’ Up! ® Demonstrator in Australia! I’ve been with Stampin’ Up! since October 2016 and have enjoyed every minute! I instantly fell in love with Stampin' Up after attending a class at a demonstrator near my home called Yvonne Pree. Within a few weeks I joined Yvonne's team and have met some really incredible women through Stampin' Up! I have always loved stationary, pretty paper and creativity and found stamping was perfect for me!! I would love to share my passion for stamping with you, whether you want to find out about our products, learn how to stamp, or join Stampin’ Up! like I did! And if you are looking for a way to either save $$ on your stamping supplies, or build a fun, flexible business around your family or work, I have information on joining Stampin’ Up! Happy Stamping!!

Pop Up Slider Card





Well this week has really been a very stressful week so taking time out to do a little crafting has been really essential for me to try and stay calm.  
So on Monday when my pre-order of the new Daisy Delight Stamp set arrived it lifted my spirits and made me smile.   I was lucky enough to win the punch so I decided to order the beautiful DSP as well as the co-ordinating coloured card stock, stamp pads, ribbons and Gold Faceted Gems.  
This big order was my mother's day/birthday gift this year.  
Thanks FAM!!

This is what I used:

Wishing you all a great weekend.

Reverse Masking Technique





This is my latest creation.  I hope you like it!!!

Here is what I used:

Ink Pads

Peekaboo Peach
Crumb Cake
Watermelon Wonder (retired)
Crushed Curry

Stamp Sets 

Jars of Love
Best Birds
Make a Medallion (Sale-A-Bration)

Dies

Layering Circle Framelits Dies
Large Numbers Framelits Dies

Cardstock

Peekaboo Peach
Crumb Cake
Whisper White

Make a mask from a piece of copy paper, cutting out the shape you want.  I used the Layering Circle 7.5 cm die.
Use Washi Tape (de-tacked) to hold the Mask into position on a piece of slightly smaller Whisper White cardstock.
Starting with the sponge on the mask, carefully swirl the sponge onto the exposed cardstock starting with the lighter colour.  I started with Crushed Curry and then added Watermelon Wonder to the edges.
With the mask still on I stamped the tree.  When you have finished the stamping carefully remove the mask.






BABY CARDS

Baby Cards made using the beautiful Fable Friends Stamp Set as well as the Wildly Happy stamp set.
