Punch Bunch Birthday Card

How cool are the Sale A Bration stamps this year...woohoo!!!. I made this for a challenge on LN Stampers...the owl stamp is so cute, I can see me using him a LOT! I have used the balloons from Party This Way and drew the strings with a black marker.
Sorry I have been missing in action lately, I have been glued to the tv watching the complete and utter devastation Mother Nature has been dealing out to my poor state of Queensland...floods and cyclones, my heart goes out to all those poor buggars who have been affected..

Adult Version of Reindeer Poop

Hi everyone, not too many sleeps til the fat guy comes!! I have so much to do before Christmas, I need a remote with a pause button! Next week I am doing a kids class and one of items we will be making is reindeer poop...kids love that kind of thing....but I have also come up with a version for my adults class

This is the outside. I used the owl punch to make a reindeer..not my idea I might add, someone very clever thought of that little gem...I wasn't wearing my glasses when I stamped the sentiment..I thought it said have a very merry christmas!. Inside there is a little plastic tube filled with chocolate coated peanuts for poop. I have written my own version for my class ladies who all have a sense of humour...if you are offended by swear words please don't scroll down

Well I thought it was funny..I will be making several of these lol!


And now humour me for a proud mum moment..My youngest daughter just had her senior formal....so next year no more kids at school..yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ebony looked like a princess...and her boyfriend Zac looked handsome too.

Congrats to Ebony and Zac on your graduation too!!!!

Birthday Penguin

I love how everyone has been using the owl punch to make penguins...so cute I just had to have a go... I have added balloons from the Party This way set...also using up some retired dsp

Tipsy Owl

 

I had to make a card for a male birthday ...something I am not very good at so I went with an owl who has had a few too many beers! The beer mug is from the Cheers to You  set which I have watercoloured and added some dazzling Diamonds to the froth...I think I may do a female version next, holding a martini!

Owl Christmas Treat

I thought this would be good for our class bonus project this week..(I don't think I will ever get sick of Mr Owl..) It is quite clear I am being ripped off when I buy smarties...I wanted to use only red and green, but lo and behold there were hardly any of those colours, so I had to settle for non Christmas colours...what is this world coming to!! I also added a mini candy cane which comes wrapped and with a hangy doodad which is rather handy..The owls hat is handcut from Cherry Cobbler cardstock though it looks black in this unfortunate night time photo...I have made so much mess in my craft room I couldn't find my white gel pen to add highlights to the eyeballs so I will add them later..

Owl Birthday Card

I got my new woodgrain background stamp today...whoohoo! For this one I have used the XL owl punch (again) and the balloon from Crazy For Cupcakes (again). For the grass I just cut a strip of cardstock and cut really close snips all the way along..the balloon strings are linen thread...kinda cute I reckon!

This is the inside. I have given him some branches to perch on using the stem from the XL Bird punch...I am going back to my stamp room to play some more...see you soon!

Dasher Strikes Again

This is one of the easiest cards I have ever made but I love using black and white together...I have used the So Swirly wheel for the back ground and Dasher on the front.

This one is cased...I have seen several versions so I am unsure of the original creator..but whoooo ever that was...it's such a cute idea..(I am using up my retired papers)...

Without further ado here are my little creations.

I made this cute little baby gift set in one of my favourite colours, Baja Breeze

I bought a cheap papier mache box from the junk shop and used the scallop circle die to make a top and bottom for the box. They have been covered with a very pretty paper from the new Greenhouse Gala designer series paper pack  (117167). The flowers have been made with the new XL Fancy Flower punch ( 118076). I simply wet and crumpled four punches for each flower..I finished it off with the pretty a la carte stamp, All a Flutter (119194)

I love these little baby shoes!! The flowers were stamped with one of the flowers from the For Everything Set ( 116686) and I added the smallest flower from the Boho Blossoms punch to the centres. I made some of these a few years ago for my grand daughters fairy party (fairy slippers) and they were a huge hit..They are also great for baby showers filled with cello bags of chocolates.


                        
The ark was made using tutorial from Lynn Pratt. ( you can find her here) I was so happy to see Fox and Friends (119165)  make its way into the new catty...such a cute little set!

                                 This is the other side of the ark featuring the ever so cute owls

The last item in my bay gift set is a card using the Baby Tees jumbo wheel (118621) . I kept this simple with a white embossed background and white taffeta bow

         My next offering is a little set that would be great for demonstrators to take to their workshops

OMG how cute is this owl!!!! The 2 step XL Owl (118074) is going to be very popular, how could you possibly resist buying this little fellow.. The Appointment book is covered in one of the papers from the  Greenhouse   Gala desgner series papers. I have added a pen holder to the front. The business card holder and keyring take just minutes to make and would be terrific little teacher gifts. I also made a ruler for this set but it seems to have gone walkabout
