Easter Baskets

Hi everyone,

Just popping by to show you my class for this week. This week we are making Easter Baskets using a variety of Stampin' Up! exclusive Big Shot dies. Now I would love to take credit for these lovely ideas but as is usual in the paper craft community - someone has already thought to do it. I thank those lovely people who think outside of the box and then share their wonderful ideas with the rest of us.

In my class you will get to make the Scallop Envelope Die basket, the Milk Carton Die Basket and one of the Fancy Favor/Top Note Die Bunny Baskets.

Cost of the class is $20 and I do include some eggs for you to pop into your baskets. I still have a couple of spaces available for tomorrow night and more spaces on Thursday night - so if you are in the Hills District and would like to learn how to make these cute baskets then just contact me to book your spot.

Thanks for looking.

'Til next time,

Fresh Vintage meets Sunny Challenges & Creations

Hi everyone,

Had a little bit of time to play this weekend, although if anyone can please find Mr Mojo I desperately need him to come home. I have spent a good amount of my time sitting at my desk and looking at my cardstock, stamps and ink and saying to myself I have no idea what to do. I even have new product from the up coming Autumn-Winter Mini catalogue and still no inspiration.

I decided to have ago at a challenge or two and today marks the first day for the Sunny Challenges & Creations weekly challenge. The challenge this week is a sketch challenge combined with the chalkboard technique.

Here is the sketch.

Here is my attempt.

I decided to turn the sketch on its side as there is nothing that says it has to be exactly the same right? The ruffled ribbon border was inspired by Libbys (will link back to her blog when it goes live) card. I was just going to have a scallop border but thought the ruffled seam binding would look better.

Materials Used: All Stampin' Up!

Stamps: Fresh Vintage

Paper: Rose Red, Whisper White, Basic Black, Marina Mist DSP

Ink: Whisper White Craft 

Other: Big Shot, Ovals Die, Stampin' Pastels, uni-ball Signo Gel Pen, Rose Red Seam Binding.

Thanks for looking.

'Til next time,

Flower Fest

Hi everyone,

Thought I would pop by and show you the second set of cards that we are making in my Stamp A Stack class this month- dates and times and prices are show in my side bar to the right. I still have spaces available so contact me if you would like to book your spot.

I thought I would go for a more feminine set of cards compared to the masculine ones I show yesterday. The set used is Flower Fest and the really cool thing is that this set co-ordinates with a lot of our punches. Yes there is some fussy cutting on these cards but you really don't need to do too much if you don't want to.

Thanks for looking.

The Open Sea

Hi everyone,

Thought I would pop by to show you one of the set of cards that we are making in my Stamp A Stack this week - dates and times and prices are show in my side bar to the right. I still have some spaces left so contact me if you would like to attend.

The stamp set used is The Open Sea that is currently available in our Summer Mini (but only until the 31st March). I have teamed it with the Nautical Expedition DSP, Bakers Twine and some Antique Brads. This set is perfect for those male cards that we all need to have but have difficulty making.

Thanks for looking,

'Til next time,

Topsy-Turvy Celebration

Hi everyone,

I can't believe the sun is out today and there is actually some blue sky. Shhh... Don't tell anyone, I may actually get back up to date with my washing.

Yesterday, the daughter of a lovely friend of mine turned 8. DD7 was invited to her party so naturally I had to make a card. I received Topsy-Turvy Celebration free from Stampin' Up! and despite the fact that I love this set I hadn't inked it up.

My card is by no means an original and I apologise but I can't remember who I CASEd it from. If  you know, or you are the person please let me know so that I can update my blog with a link.

Isn't it bright and cheerful? Don't forget the bling. What little girl doesn't like bling?

In case you are wondering the mat behind the Modern Label has been created using the Sizzix Magnetic Movers & Shapers Punch Windows. I have to say I am pretty slack when it come to using the Movers & Shapers for it's "real" use as it creates a card that is a different size to the standard Australian sized card. It is however awesome for cutting mats for a range of different punch shapes.

Materials Used: All Stampin' Up!
Stamps: Topsy-Turvy Celebration
Paper: Melon Mambo, Concord Crush, Whisper White, Cheerful Treat DSP
Ink: Melon Mambo, Lucky Limeade, Concord Crush, Lucky Limeade Stampin' Write Marker
Other: Modern Label Punch, Scallop Trim Boarder Punch, Big Shot, Perfect Pennants Die, Movers & Shapers Punch Windows, 1/8" Lucky Limeade Organdy Ribbon (SAB Everyday Enchantment Ribbon & Brad Pack), Basic Jewels Rhinestones, Dimensionals.

Thanks for looking.

'Til next time,
