Twisted Easel Chocolate Bunny Card

I have made one of these for both my mother and mother-in-law for easter. I  used Chocolate Bunny which is retired but too cute to pack away. These are very simple to make..if you would like to make one yourself just google "Twisted Easel Card" ..I found heaps of tutorials  (which would explain it much better than my waffle lol) The colours are Peach Parfait and Very Vanilla with Old Olive leaves.

Fast and Fabulous Easel Card

The Late Night Stampers challenge this week is to use your bigshot....Nice and easy!. For this circle easel card I have used the scallop circle die to make the card base..I used Peach Parfait again, this colour is really starting to grow on me now! The stamp sets used are Fast and Fabulous (level 2 hostess set)  and the butterfly from Bliss, as well as the greeting from Occasional greetings...I quite like this card!
On a personal note...I gave up smoking 5 weeks ago...but tonight I would crawl over hot coals to get a pack of smokes...when will it be easier????????

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!

Holiday Lineup

 I will be doing some Christmas in July classes next month so I thought I had better buy a set of Christmas stamps...I love this set "Holiday Lineup". So much fun to colour! I added a little bit of dazzling diamonds to the snowmen to bling them up a bit

These are Santas elves from the same set...love these kooky guys!! I have also done the reindeer but the crystal effects is still drying on that one

I have seen these circle easel cards all over blogland...I have done  a very plain and simple version...quick and easy is my motto!

This week I score some cute little sizzix dies...This shoe is so cute...there is no way I could ever get my big clumpy feet into a dainty shoe like this!! I stamped the Boroque Motif swirl on the background in Pink Pirouette . This is one of my fabourite colour combos.

Of course yo need a handbag to match..I added Kraft cardstock to this one

And lastly my grand daughters Ella and Sophie are having a combined birthday party in October with a Sesame Street theme...Elmo is sooo cute!

...and Cookie Monster is his usual gutsy self! I saw these on Wendy Hawkinsons blog and staright away I know they would be perfect party invites for my two little cuties...That's all from me for now...see you round like a doughnut!

All a flutter...and a bit more

Hi everyone...if you are here for the ESAD bloghop, just scroll down to previous post..Thought I would share some more cards..Love the new single stamp "All a Flutter'' available in the new Autumn Winter mini Catty. Not the best angle to take a photo but you get the idea..the colours are Soft Suede (new) with Sage Shadow.. I have also used Vintage Vogue and the sentiment is from Echoes of Kindness.

This card uses Pendant Park (kicking myself I didn't use the Stamp a ma jig because as you can see, the park bench is crooked (unless you tilt your head to the side in which case it is fine!)

This one is inspired by Jackie Topa...Love the jewelry tag for the picket fence...The flowers and greenery are Vintage Vogue.

Lastly, I only just acquired the level 2 hostess set echoes of Kindness...such a pretty flower. It has been watercoloured and dazzled with diamonds lol. The background is stamped with En Francais...I just made a few more cards but will post those tomorrow

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
