Loads of Love Birthday Card

I am not really that fussed with this card and I nearly binned it but my class ladies liked it and wanted to make one..I have used the car from Loads of Love and the balloon from Crazy for Cupcakes..the puffs of smoke are from Boatloads of Love

Loads of Love

It's lucky you can't be arrested for being a slack Blogger!!! What can I say, life has been busy...but I am baaaackk!
This stamp set has been on my wish list since day one and thanks to a special Stampin' Up! has this month, I finally buckled and got it. This is really simple to make and best of all it's interactive...pull on the slider and the car drives...I need one like that!! I used a brayer and sponging for the background...(not my strong point I should add) and used Pocket silhouettes for the foreground. The tree in the background comes with the Loads of Love set...
*I was hoping no one would notice but I have been caught!! The slider should have started on the left hand side so the car could drive rather than reverse lol...so if you make one of these don't make that mistake!

This is a simple gift bag we did in last weeks stamp club. I bought some cheap bags from the markets and we just made an embellished panel for the front using Petal Pizzazz.....the ladies complined about all the cutting they had to do...but I told them to pipe down and keep on cutting lol

Lastly a card I cased from the internet but unfortunately I commited it to memory rather than my computer so I have no idea of the original creator..sorry...That's it for me for now I shall return when I have made something else..but before I go.....

Stay tuned for the ESAD blog hop starting July 24th!! Some fabulous ideas coming soon!

Love is in the air

Don't let the title fool you, I am about as romantic as a house brick...however I thought I had better do a few lovely dovey things for the ladies who come to my classes....nothing overly sickly, just a heart here and there..here are the items we made in tonights class

We made this quick and easy little box featuring the skunk from the Pun Fun set...my daughter loves this little guy and made me buy the set just for him...inside the box are some yummy chocolate hearts.

This buckle card features En Francais background stamp with the butterfly and love you from Dream Du Jour (we seem to use this set in class more than any other set, so versatile!!) The single rose is from Embrace Life, it's stamping debut, first time I have thought to use it

Next up we made a cute little notebook...I would love to say I am clever enough to create punch art like this however I am not lol...Lynn Pratt designed these cute turtles and I cased them because I thought they were so sweet

And lastly I came up with this quick little valentine treat using the heart from the Always set. Just a quicky made by stamping the heart and sticking to an icy pole stick with a mat of red to place behind the heart to hide the stick...a chocolate heart was attached to the centre with a glue dot and a little sentiment stamped on the stick with white craft ink....and the polka dot ribbon (from the summer mini catalogue)...the girls all thought it was pretty cute....

And now to my stamping girls who attend our weekly classes...it was suggested we came up with a name for ourselves...so the ball in in your court...email your suggestion to me at wotzup@bigpond.net.au ..I will select the name I think is the best and reward the winner with a little prize...and if I hate your suggestions I will come up with my own lol
