Card Choices from Cindy Banks

Card by Roz Veevers :
Cindy says: "I think this Christmas Card Roz has made is beautiful. I really like the non traditional colours she has used, but still makes the card look very much like a christmas card. I also like how the So Swirly wheel has been incorporated to the card with the shadow effect. Great idea!"

Michelle Beeby says: "This card just says 'homey' to me.. You feel at home and comfortable, this is the type of card I love to make and send."

Card by Roz Veevers:
Cindy says: "Another stunning card created by our wonderful team leader Roz. I really like the colours Roz has used on this card they blend so well together, a simply but very elegant card that can be used for any occasion."

Card by Nicole Derendorf:

Cindy says: "I love this reflection technique, it's the kind of effect everybody looks at and goes how do you do that. The colours Nicole has used are perfect in making this card look so stunning. Beautiful work!"

Christine Rowland's Card Picks

Card by Juliann Williams :
Christine says: "I really like this card because I have this set from last christmas and didn't want to use it this christmas, but this makes it look totally different. It is really nice and love the polka dots in the background. Didn't even think of pulling that one out for my chrissy cards. Great Job... Love it "


Card by Roz Veevers:
Christine says: "I love how Roz has done the shaving foam background. I have heard of this technique and seen other cards made with it but never really liked it. I love the colour Roz has used in the shaving foam and how it is just the one colour but has gone into lots of different shades of that colour. The other ones I have seen have used more than one colour which has made them look like a childrens painting. This is very Classy, and She has topped it off with my favourite stampset. Love the technique, love the colours, love the stamp set."



Card by Cindy Banks:

Christine says: "I love what Cindy has done with this card. I really like these colours together. I like how Cindy punched holes above the scallop edge. And the Designer Series Paper really sweet. And the sentiment can be changed for all sorts of occassions."

Bio from Cindy Banks

Hi my name is Cindy, I am 38 year old, stay at home Mum, married to a wonderful man named Mark and we have two gorgeous cheeky boys Matthew and Jarrad. We live in Perth,Western Australia in the beautiful Swan Valley, which I have lived here my entire life.

About 7 years ago I discovered cardmaking and about 2 years later moved on to scrapbooking. I have taught at various scrapbooking groups and camps as well as taught cardmaking for about 2 years at a local community craft group.I stumbled across Stampin’ Up about 4 years ago through a lady I met at my kids school, she had a Stampin’ Up! catalogue from America.When she showed me the catalogue it totally blew me away and I couldn’t wait to order.

When Stampin’ Up! came to Australia I was really excited as it was now accessable. I actually didn’t consider becoming a demonstrator at first, but when I realised that I had become obsessed with it I had to join. So I started searching the internet to find a bit more about it , when I came across Stamp of Approval which is Roz Veevers website, I contacted Roz, signed up immediately and now have been a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and part of the Southern Belles team for just over a year now.

Even though I joined as a Hobbyist I found that I couldn’t just sit back and not introduce Stampin’ Up! to my family and friends. I have found holding workshops has been very inspiring and most of all alot of fun.I really enjoy the Southern Belles group. Our team leader Roz is so encouraging and very supportive. As the group is based in Adelaide and as I live in Perth I am still able to participate with the group. It is great to see the other team members beautiful creations and here about what they are up to.
