Sew Suite TuTu Card

I have had fun playing around with scraps of tulle! I have used Baroque Motifs for the background stamped in Pink Pirouette on both the card base and the whisper white panel. The dress form from Sew Suite was stamped on the white panel and again onto pink dsp...I cut out the form from the dsp omitting the stand and cutting away a neckline and stuck it onto the card stamped side down so you can't see the stamped lines...the tulle was a strip approx 6 inches x 1.5 inches folded in half lengthways and hand stitched across teh top with a gathering stitch..I added a bow to hide the stitching

More Petal Pizzazz

I keep coming back to these two stamp sets..Petal Pizzazz and Boroque Motifs..so very versatile.. I have layered three different flowers to form the main image and the background is stamped with the swirl from Boroque Motifs...This is a nice easy card and would be great to demo in workshops!

Another Boroque Card

 

I have certainly gotten my moneys worth out of this set! I have kept this very simple using only black and white.  Of Course I have forgotten which set that frame is from...Old age will do that to you!

Boroque Motifs Easel Card

I am so chuffed..I just won challenge 93 over at Late Night Stampers with my upsy daisy easel card from a few posts ago...made my day, I am been a SU demo for a year now but still don't feel like a REAL stamper so it's such a confindence boost. Thankyou LNS!


Today I have made a birthday card for my neice and funnily enough it's another easel card. This time I used Boroque Motifs and All a Flutter. I kept it simple using only two colours..Basic Black and Perfect Plum.

I also added a little bit of bling, some black satin ribbon and a Hodge Podge bookplate..hope she likes it!

Tree Trimmings Card

Hi all, I have just spent most of the day cutting up for my upcoming stamp a stack classes...enough for 270 cards...sheesh!! Thankfully one of my lovely class ladies came to lend me a hand...thankyou Christine. This is one of the cards we will be making. I have used Holly Jolly designer paper and the stamp sets are Tree Trimmings (great set for just $24.95!) , sentiment from contempo Christmas and the swirl from Boroque Motifs...which is my most used stamp of all time. Will share the other two when my camera battery is charged.

A Bit of Punch Art

I purchased a punch art tutorial from Kim Score at Paper Punch Addiction because I fell in love with this really cute hippo...awww I have made a few others but I haven't taken pictures yet...will be nice if we get some of the punches I need when the new catalogue comes out in September!

I have seen this feller all over the net so I don't know the original creator but he is very simple to make..I can see a few of these being made at Christmas time.

 I saw a great tip on Valita's blog about using a segment from the spiral punch to make a top for a bauble...would be simpler if we had the ornament punch here in Australia ...fingers crossed for that one!

Getting organised for Christmas here, I wanted a folder big enough to hold ten dollar scratchy tickets...the ones they have at the newsagency are really naff!! . I used the So Swirly wheel with Versamark and embossed it in gold. 

And in case you are wondering...no ! none of them are winners...so don't bother hitting me up for a quid!

And lastly a very quick and simple card using my newest set, Cheep Talk... It's a no brainer for when you are pressed for time..

That's all folks, don't forget to check back on July 24th for the ESAD blog hop....lot's of Christmas ideas on the way!

Medallion stamp and other offerings

Hi all..if you are looking for the ESAD blog hop it's a few posts down...Thought I would show you some more cards made with th enew goodies from the Autumn winter catalogue

Love this stamp!! (Medallion 119175). This was stamped with  Melon Mambo on melon mambo cardstock..The centre was punched out with the 1 3/4 cicle punch and window sheet was glued behind the opening.. the centre was restamped on whisper white and placed behind the window. The sentiment is from the Heard from the Heart set (119167).  The matching ribbon  is gorgeous!

This is a coffee bag I found in my travels which I stamped with the grass from Inspired by Nature. The leaves were cut on the Bigshot with leaves #2 original die, which were stamped with Enfracais background stamps. Some tiny  tags were added using the Tiny Tags stamps (119187) and the medium jewelry tag (117190)

A z- fold card using En Francais background, Pocket silhouettes and the butterfly from Dream Du Jour (nothing from the new catty but pocket silhouettes is my new toy!)

And lastly an oldy but a goodie a chocolate bar slider. I used the XL 2 step bird punch (119191) and Little Leaves sizzlet ( 114511)

I hope this posts properly, somehow all the stuff in my side bar has gone to the bottom of my page and my blog header has moved on up and out of sight...I have no clue how it happened and bo clue how to fix it either!!

Until next time...

Happy Moments and odd and ends

I love the bird cage in the Happy Moments Sale a Bration set!!I have used whisper white on a Kraft card base and stamped Baroque Motifs with Sahara Sand then again with versamark embossed in gold..The cage hangs in the circle window and spins .

I know flower pot cards have been done to death but I had never made one before so I had to have a go!

This is the card when removed from the pot...there I have got that one out of my system now!

And lastly I thought this card would be nice and easy to teach in workshops..I love the leaf stamp that comes in teh Good Neighbours sale a bration set...or is it meant to be a tree???

Cherish Card

I did a card with these same water coloured flowers last week but I had so much fun water colouring the flowers I just had to make another version. The flower is from the Embrace life set and that butterfly from Dream Du Jour is back again along with the flourish from Boroque Motifs. I have added a bit of dazzling diamonds to the stamens this time and a bling buckle that I found under my desk lol...I realy have to go to bed, I have been stamping since last year and I am tired!

Easel Card

Happy New Year every one, I hope 2010 is a great year for everyone...I know I am looking forward to a fresh year after a crappy 2009!

Just thought I would share this easel card I just made and as usual it's quick and easy to make...I used elegant eggplant, always artichoke and very vanilla. The stamps are Boroque Motifs with the butterfly from Dreams Du Jour...The girls will be making this card (among other things) at tomorrow nights class

Baroque Motifs

I don't know why I waited so long to buy this set!! (Baroque Motifs 116340).The swirl is beautiful and can be used for so many occasions like Christmas and weddings and can be tizzied up by adding the stamped motifs which come with the set or by adding punched flowers like I did in this case using the Boho Blossoms punch ( 110711). It would have looked better with antique brads but I don't have any just yet....they are on my wish list!
