Cute Hostess Gift!

Hi there!

Just wanted to quickly share one more FAB project from Convention … and I think (as I have shown you all 4 projects & endless swaps) this will probably be the last!!! I certainly did get my money’s worth out of this event, didn’t I?!!! If you would like to see any again … just do a search on my blog for “Trendy Trees” or “Circle Circus” to see all the Convention Projects.

Here is the cute litte gift pack with 4 tiny gift cards that we created at Convention. The Convention sample was created using the “Trendy Trees” stamp set … one of our Convention Freebies!!!

This is a fantastic idea for a hostess gift and I demo-d this at my last workshop. My teenage hostess was thrilled with her gift!

_______________________________________________

I used the colours for my hostess gift … that were from the Sweet Always DSP – Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, Pink Pirouette & Regal Rose. A piece of this paper is used to line the cellophane bag. The stamped images were from a combination of  “Pocket Silhouettes” (a fantastic set for backgrounds and layering images) & “You & Moi”.  The “handle” is punched with the Word Window Punch (twice – to give a little extra depth to the hole) and finished with some regal rose riboon. Sooooooooo quick & easy.

Here is my finished sample … I love the pinks & pumpkin together. SU! really does have a knack of combining colours don’t they!

Have a great day!

Christine’s Creations!

Hi there!

I love sharing creations by my SU! groupies … and thought I would share a couple of cards that Skye got for her birthday recently! Of all the cards she received … all but two were hand made – how special was that! (2 were shop bought … and 2 were created on the computer!)

These two cards were so pretty …

The first is the one Christine (my sis) created for Skye. What a sweet colour combination! Christine has used some lovely Apricot Appeal Patterns DSP to create the background and has stamped the butterflies with Apricot appeal & Pumpkin Pie. This is such a gorgeous set … Flight of the Butterfly … and I although I did resist for quite some time … I actually got this set a couple of weeks ago. And … GUESS WHAT!!! A blog friend from the US (Michelle) has let me know that in the brand new US catalogue that was released on Jul 1 … there is a PUNCH that fits this stamp set!!! How cool!!! A butterfly punch!!!! Yay!!! I have now officially started my wish list for the 2010/2011 IB&C … even though it will not be available until September next year!!! Perhaps if we wish hard enough … this butterfly punch might be included in one of our mini catalogues released between now and September??? Did I tell you that in our Spring Mini there is an oval scallop punch??? Yep! Very nice! And … VERY SATISFYING!!! Being a demo … I get to preorder … and have mine already!!! I am planning to hold a CARD BUFFET in August … so you can all see what is available in the new mini catalogue. So … keep watching for dates … I will let you know once this is finalised! And … once I am back from hols … I will post some samples using some of  the new products … so keep watching for that too!!!

This card was one given to Skye by my mum … but … I do think this may have also been made by Christine??? I dunno why … but often you can see a certain “style” coming through in an individual’s creations. And … I know how much Christine just LOVES blue!!! So … let’s see if I can work out all the colours etc … hhhmmm … a little tricky all those blues!!! The DSP … I think … is Spring Silhouettes … but I’m not absolutely sure about that!!! And … I am pretty sure the two blue cardstock/ink colours are Soft Sky & Blue Bayou. I am pretty sure that Grandma added the “17″ stickers herself.  Cute Cute Cute!!!

Skye had a really happy day … topped off by a surprise visit by her boyfriend from Q’ld! Isn’t he just the sweetest!!! It did end up being a very busy weekend … lots of school work (important assessments for Yr 11) … eisteddfod performance … but … I do think she had a happy time! No longer sweet sixteen!!! How can we stop them from growing up????

C U again soon!

Hi again!

Sorry I didn’t make it yesterday … that play day on Tuesday … turned into more on Wednesday afternoon & evening  … and then some more this morning!!! So … I have been such a busy bee! But … the biggest problem … I can’t share all my creations with you … YET!!!   

_______________________________________________________________________

I have been working on two coming events … A “Christmas in July” day stamp a stack … and a “Card Buffet” for a date yet to be determined! So … I thought I would give you a quick “sneak peek” of both!!! Just to whet your appetitite … and hopefully encourage you to book a spot at either class. (Details will follow soon … just need to finalise … and I will let you know!) KEEP WATCHING!!!

__________________________________________________________

So … you can probably guess which are for the “Christmas in July” and which are for the “Card Buffet”! I am so excited … you are going to love these creations … and I hope you will look forward to sharing some time with me … and creating some of these gorgeous cards for yourself!!! Keep watching for details to book your spot for both these classes!!!

Scribble This!

Hi again!

I am so excited … I have a whole day today to devote to planning for a “card buffet” … so that means I can stamp to my heart’s delight!!! Yay! Haven’t had time to do that for ages. And … I am looking forward to sharing my creations with you!

But … in the meantime … here are a couple more cards that I made several months ago … and thought you might like to see them!

Both cards are created using the pretty “Scribble This” stamp set but both are quite different! I must have been in a pink/blue mood when I created these … cos I know that they were created around the same time!

This first sample is just simple stamping … but I have used my markers direct to rubber to create multi coloured images … with larger images such as the swirl … don’t forget to “huff” on your stamp after inking it … to make sure it has not dried out. Colours used for this card: Pink Passion, Cool Caribbean, Lovely Lilac. After inking & stamping I have added some dazzling diamonds to the main images with a 2-way glue pen. The sparkle is so pretty! An extra trim of Cool Caribbean with random stamped flowers & a couple of lilac brads add the final touch. You could easily add an oval phrase just across the top of this strip of card. This is a great card for a make & take … very quick and easy!

My second Scribble This card is a long time favourite … I had it in my sample box for ages! I just love watercolouring with this set … and I must try it with the “Floating Watercolour” technique sometime soon! I think it would be perfect! This card is created using Pretty in Pink, Taken with Teal & Basic Black. The images have all been stamped with black Stazon ink … which is the best ink for watercolouring. I have added colour from my stamp pads by using them as a palette (squeeze the pad before opening and this creates a pool of colour in the lid). Pick up the colour with an aqua painter and paint onto your image. After it is dry I go back and add a little more colour around the edges to give some depth & highlights. The main flower has been stamped on scrap (whisper white) card and then coloured & cut out. I have also stamped the large flower onto the Pretty in Pink card & Basic Black card & cut around the images to layer behind the main flower image. Some pretty pink organza (ret. SU!) ribbon & a pink rhinestone brad finishes it off beautifully. Again … you could add a small phrase in the bottom right corner of this card! I think this is a perfect example of how beautifully black works with some colours. This card just would not be the same without the black, don’t you think???

So … off to do some creating! Hope you have a fun day too!

Simply Said – an old favourite!

Hi there!

I was scrounging through my already made cards today … and found a few I have been meaning to show you. These were made quite a while ago now but hopefully I will remember all the details! This “Simply Said” stamp set has got to be one of my all time favourites. I have had it quite a while now and have used it over and over! It is soooooo versatile!

This first card was a workshop make & take … and I know everyone enjoyed creating it! It was just sooooooooooo easy! You can see the 2-step stamping is done randomly all over the card – solid image in pretty pink & outline images in rose red. The phrase image is also stamped in rose red and has a frame of rose red card. If you look closely you will see I have highlighted two of the star flowers by stamping them again on scrap card & cutting around them … then I have added some dazzling diamonds with 2-way glue pen … and mounted them on the matching image with dimensionals. You have to believe me … this card looks so much better “in the flesh” … than in this pic. It really is simple but oh so pretty! The phrase is from the Simply Said too.

Another workshop make & take … but this was for a group a little more experienced. Don’t you love all these soft colours together! I have used some Rose Red, Bashful Blue & Whisper White cardstock for this card. All the flower images were stamped with Black Stazon Ink and were watercoloured using SU! Pastels and a blender pen. You can see where I have painted each flower and then I have gone back with more colour to give some highlights on each petal. I used Rose Red, Bashful Blue, So Saffron & Certainly Celery for the flowers. The phrase is from the set “Warm Words” and was also stamped with black Stazon. The flowers on the band are cut out and mounted with dimensionals. I used gold brads & a little certainly celery wide grosgrain ribbon to add a little “pizzazz”.

Now … it is so long since I created both of these … that I have to admit … these may have been CASED??? I am just not sure … but I am very happy to acknowledge the designs if someone would like to claim them! Mmmm … must get that set out again soon! It makes such lovely but such EASY cards! C U tomorrow, I hope!

Super Quick!

Hi everyone!

Was playing around yesterday … and this was a creation that just sort of happened. I was just trying out some of the combinations for the Flight of the Butterfly stamp set … with some rainbow colours … voila! A card in super quick time! I wouldn’t claim this as a masterpiece … but I do think it is kinda sweet … and will probably give it to my 7yr old niece for her birthday next week!

I have used ALL 12 “Bold Bright” colours on this card! Can you pick them all? And … I added a little basic black just for effect. Don’t you just love all this 2-step stamping!!! The gingham ribbon is not SU! I know I have a roll of black SU! gingham ribbon somewhere … but it seems to be hiding at the moment … so I went scrounging for some other ribbon – I REALLY wanted to use gingham!!! I also used the “happy’o birthday” stamp from the “On Your Birthday” set … but stamped each word with a marker separately so I could place “happy” above “birthday”! Doesn’t it fit perfectly in the oval punch when you do that! I have also added some punched flowers (using the 5 petal flower punch & the trio flower punch) and some black brads & black Dew Drops (non SU!) to finish. All the butterflies & black flowers are stamps from the “Flight of the Butterfly” stamp set … which also has 4 swirly phrase stamps as well.  It is a SUPER set and lotsa fun!!!

Hope to see you again soon! And … one day I will find some time to do some blog hopping to visit some friends! Hope you all have a GREAT weekend!

Skye turns 17 today!

Hello everyone!

It is my gorgeous Skye’s birthday today! And … as is typical of a 17 year old … she spent most of her time before school responding to text messages on her phone! HHHmmm… no time for mum to reminisce! Oh well … at least I can show you her birthday card!

I FINALLY gave in and ordered this set … it has been on my “wish list” since the IB&C came out in April. I think I have been really restrained!!! But … I have just received a “sneak peek” of the new mini catalogue … and have SO MUCH to add to my wish list AGAIN!!! Oh no! But … I can’t wait for you all to see it! (It starts 1 Aug!) You are going to love it!

So … here is Skye’s Birthday Card … she loves pink!!!

This new set is called “Flight of the Butterfly” and is a two-step stamping set. Just gorgeous … lots of combinations and I am sure I will use it heaps! I did CASE this from a card I saw on Splitcoast designed by Peggy-Sue Stuckky who is a US demo. (No blog as far as I can see!) Mine is a little different … but isn’t it a sweet design!? And … so simple to create!

Card Recipe:

• Stamp Sets: Flight of the Butterfly, Sweet Stems
• Cardstock: Whisper White, Pink Passion
• Inks: Basic Black, Pink Passion + Pink Passion Marker
• Accents: Silver Pearls (non SU!), Silver Dew Drop (non SU!), Pink Dew Drops (non SU!), Pink Fabric Flower (non SU!), Dazzling Diamonds (added with 2-way glue pen)
• Detail: Butterflies stamped in black onto white card … and in pink onto pink card. Pink butterflies cut out and stuck onto black images to give a “shadow” effect. ALSO: I did use my Stamp-a-ma-jig for ALL the stamping on this card … I wanted to make sure everything was placed exactly where I wanted … and because I was cutting the butterflies out … I wanted the two-step stamp images to line up as well! Please don’t underestimate HOW HANDY a Stamp-a-ma-jig is … I am so glad to have it in my product stash! I use if frequently!

I had so much fun creating this card … using my new stamp set … and playing with pink & black! (I love pink & black together!!!) Hope it inspires you to get out your stamps today! Back with more asap!

Finally … a new creation!

Hi girls!

I was so excited to be stamping again … although … my eyes were hanging out of my head from tiredness … so it had to be just be the one card last night!!! I really needed to have an early night!

I thought I would check out the latest Mojo Monday … but because I had already chosed the “cute” stamp image … I decided that last week’s sketch was a better design for this image. Check here for some amazing samples for this sketch -> Mojo #92.

I think this is a great sketch … very versatile … and I will probably use it over and over!!! I found this colour combo in the 09/10 Idea Book & Catalogue! It is ALWAYS a great place for inspiration! I just went looking for a combo with pink … and voila! So … here is my latest creation … especially for a friend’s new baby!

Card Recipe:

• Stamp Sets: Big on Spring (ret. SU!), You & Moi
• Cardstock & Paper: Whisper White, Certainly Celery, Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette Patterns DSP
• Stamp Pads: Basic Brown, Pink Pirouette, Certainly Celery
• Accents & Accessories: Chocolate Chip Taffeta Ribbon, Scallop Edge Punch, Aqua Painter, Sponge Dauber, Silver Pearls (non SU!)
• Technique: Watercolouring with stamp pads & aqua painter

Hey! Did you notice the pretty silver pearls??? These are the ones that Silke so kindly sent to me!  I am itching to have another play … hopefully in the next couple of days! Will be back as soon as I can! Keep on stamping!

Project Class – Folding Scrapbook

Hi everyone!

At our recent class I used an idea from Convention … and it was a real hit with the class members! I think because it was a “stress-free” project – no thinking … just creating! My Friday night group seem “allergic” to thinking by Friday!!!

So … these are the fabulous little folding scrapbooks that we created … they are all created from a base of 12″ x 12″ cardstock. Score in half both ways … and cut from the centre top point down to where the two score lines cross. Fold top left square down and then fold bottom centre score backwards to form the card.

The first sample is the Convention sample … and even though it was probably the simplest in design … I just love how easy it was to put together! And … I think it looks really impressive! I did add a few little embellishments to this design.

The inside shows some simple stamping with Circle Circus & coordinating embellishments & papers. Sometimes even tiny simple embellishments can add something reallly special to your project. If you try and keep everything themed you will end up with a really nice creation.

Project Recipe: Card/Papers: Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, Baja Breeze Patterns DSP, Whisper White, Chocolate Chip; Inks: Baja Breeze, Versamark, Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Red; Extras: Metal Edge Tags, Silver Brads, Flower Fusion felt flowers, Kiwi Kiss & Baja Breeze Ribbon, Clip Assortment Clip

My second sample was created around the Friends 24/7 & Friendly Words Wheel stamps. Just LOVE this set & wheel together!

This one is a little more “fussy” … but I love these colours & stamps together! I used the “Raspberry Tart” paper as a starting point!

Project Recipe: Cards/Papers: Raspberry Tart DSP, Rose Red, Pretty in Pink, Kiwi Kiss, Certainly Celery; Inks: Rose Red, Kiwi Kiss, Pretty in Pink, Extras: Metal Edge Tags, Designer Buttons, Clips Assortment Clip, Flower Fusions felt flowers, Silver Brads, Pretty in Pink Ribbon Originals.

My third sample was a little more “funky” … and was an easy one to “copy”. Some of my class girls only survive a Friday night if they have something to copy!!!

I used the Trendy Trees & Pocket Silhouette stamp sets and some gorgeous Tangerine Tango DSP as my inspiration!

Card Recipe: Cards/Papers: Tangerine Tango Patterns DSP, Blush Blossom, Tangerine Tango, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White; Inks: Tangerine Tango, Blush Blossom, Chocolate Chip; Extras: Metal Edge Tags, Silver Brads, Trio Flower Punch, White grosgrain ribbon, Tangerine Tango striped grosgrain, Designer Buttons, Scallop Edge Punch, White Ribbon Orignials (ric rac), Supernova Glitter, Crystal Effects.

I found these a perfect project for my class … They are great for sending as a photo card … just add 2 or 3 photos and use the other spaces to write some journalling or a message!

Floating Watercolour Tutorial

Hi guys!

I recently demo-d this fantabulous technique at a workshop and I have had a few requests from my workshop guests & blog friends to do a step by step for this technique. I don’t have step by step photos … but here are the step by step instructions. (I will take some photos next time I make a floating watercolour card & add them to the bottom of this post as soon as I get a chance!)

____________________________

Supplies Needed:

• Glossy White Cardstock (or shimmer card – non SU!)
• Embossing  Buddy
• Versamark Ink Pad
• White Embossing Powder
• Powder Pals
• Heat Tool
• Stamp with fine line image – preferrably with lots of “sections” to the image  (not solid stamp image) I have used the large rose from Fifth Avenue Floral – this is perfect!
• Water – in a spray bottle
• Aqua Painter
• Re-inkers in 3 – 4 colours

Instructions:

1. Rub Embossing Buddy over cardstock
2. Stamp image with Versamark ink – plenty of ink needed – so re-ink your Versamark pad if it is a little dry
3. Sprinkle White Embossing Powder over image – tap off excess powder
4. Heat with Heat Tool to set image
5. Spray generously with water so water “pools” in each section of image
6. Use a saucer as a “pallette” and add a drop of each of your re-inkers around the saucer
7. Use Aqua Painter to pick up ink from saucer & “touch” the end of Aqua Painter lightly to the sections you wish to colour. The water should carry the colour across the section of the image you are colouring. Add more ink if needed. Use different colours for each section for highlights. Remember to “clean” Aqua Painter before changing colours – wipe it across scrap paper until colour disappears.
8. The best way to get shaded colours within sections is to allow to image dry on a slight slant – so prop your image on an angle to dry. BUT … if there is too much water on your image … this will run … so make sure you “lift” excess water before doing so. You can do this by touching your clean Aqua Painter to each section to “draw up” the excess liquid from the image. Wipe off
   Aqua Painter on tissue to dry. Keep touching the image to draw more liquid off until it is still reasonably moist – but not too wet that the ink will run. You can see on this enlargement where the colour has “pooled” when I propped the image to dry – this gives more intense colour … and looks really great!
9. You can speed up the drying process by heating with a heat tool … but be careful not to “burn” your card! Otherwise your image will take about an hour to dry.

I hope these instructions were clear! I just love this technique … and am going to go searching for some other stamps that are appropriate for this technique & have a play! If you get a chance to try this out … and would like to share your creation … don’t forget to email me with a pic of your card! I would love to show it on my blog!

Keep watching for the pictures for this technique. It may be a few days … but I will get them here eventually! And … thanks everyone for your interest … I am always happy for suggestions for tutorials etc for my blog! So … keep ‘em coming! Have a happy day!!!

Super Quick Make & Take

Hello!

Wow! It is so quiet! I can’t believe it! My house is never quiet – especially on the weekend! But … all the big kids are out with youth group friends … Sandy is playing on his playstation … Gav ??? not sure where he is or what he is doing??? So … I am stealing a quick minute here!

Nicky Adamson Convention Swap

This is a cute little SWAP that I received from the Canberra Convention in May designed by Nicky Adamson. I LOVE the little lady bug that Nicky has highlighted by layering on dimensionals and adding some Crystal effects … giving it a real 3D look! Such a simple design …. but soooooo adorable!

Card Recipe:  Stamp Sets: A Flower for all Seasons, So Swirly Wheel; Card: Real Red, Only Orange, Whisper White; Ink: Stazon, Real Red, Only Orange, Summer Sun, Certainly Celery; Other: Crystal Effects, Dimensionals

So … I decided that this was a GREAT card to CASE for a simple M&T. ( I always start my workshops with a really quick M&T … just to let my guests get their hands on the stamps asap!!!) So … because we were “colouring in” with markers … I did 3 different designs so there was not too long a wait to use the markers!

I used the DSP for each card as my starting point for the colours used for each card.

Card1 Recipe: Stamp Set: A Flower for All Seasons; Card/Paper: Gable Green, Whisper White, Baja Breeze DSP; Stamp Pad: Stazon Black, Gable Green (edge); Markers: Blush Blossom, Only Orange, Gable Green, Not Quite Navy; Extras: Cutter Kit (distressing), Sponge Daubers & Ink (edges), Dimensionals, Crystal Effects.

Card 2 Recipe: Stamp Set: A Flower for All Seasons; Card/Paper: Basic Grey, Whisper White, Tea Party DSP; Stamp Pad: Stazon Black, Pretty in Pink (edge); Markers: Almost Amethyst, So Saffron, Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery; Extras: Cutter Kit (distressing), Sponge Daubers & Ink (edges), Dimensionals, Crystal Effects.

Card 3 Recipe: Stamp Set: A Flower for all Seasons; Card/Paper: Riding Hood Red, Whisper White, Bella Rose DSP; Stamp Pads: Stazon Black, Old Olive (edge); Markers: Rose Red, Regal Rose, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, White Gel Pen; Extras: Cutter Kit (distressing), Sponge Daubers & Ink (edges), Dimensionals, Crystal Effects.

How easy are these! And … so cute! Why don’t you try one for yourself. They take next to no time to create!

Until next time … have a lovely day!
