Urban Garden Gift Set

Hi Everyone,

Here's a set of 2 cards and matching box I taught at a workshop on the wkend...

The stamped verse says "You only live once but if you do it right, once is enough"

I've used the Urban Garden Designer Papers; Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze, Whisper White and Not Quite Navy card and ink. The flowers are all from the Fifth Avenue Floral Stamp Set and I've also added white grosgrain ribbon, dimensionals to make the cards 'pop' and a filagree brad on the last card.

The box is deep enough to fit 5 cards + envelopes so it would be a great gift idea & I'm going to make some ready for Christmas.

If you would like any further info, please email me or leave a comment :)

Fairy Punch Art

Hi All,

This is a busy time in Stampin' with Richelle land cos here's another post! Woohoo!! I'm sure I'm setting some records this week. lol :)

Ok, I've been trying all week to use Makeesha's Inkspirations Colour Challenge #12 and whilst I've had a few ideas, the 1 I'm about to show you is my favourite!!

I've been doing some searching for a fairy picture to use on Charlotte's 3rd b'day invites and came across this punch art fairy on a blog and I've traced the idea back to Samantha. I've changed the colours of my fairy to suit Makeesha's colour challenge. And I've used different sized circles for my fairy's head and body, and using the small circle punch, I've given my fairy a headband... awww......I've also doubled my fairy's wings and then covered them in dazzling diamonds.

 

And here's a pic of the card from the side so you can see my faux embossing of the regal rose love hearts...

Now the task is to make a whole heap of these over the wkend to hand out to Charlotte's friends. Maybe I will be able to rope in Lee to help with the punching out.

Hope you like my fairy as much as I do!! And if you would like any more details, please email me or leave a comment.  :D

Mojo Monday #103

Hi,

Here's a quick card I made for Mojo Monday #103.... I cased the idea for the tree from a video tutorial on a rare trip to Youtube on the weekend. Here's the link if you are interested.

Obviously, my folding technique needs a little more practice to become neater and crisper, but I just was so excited to actually create a mojo monday card within a day of the challenge being posted!
Very unlike me! lol :)

A fresh look for Spring

Menu Toolbar

Hi All,

After a bit of fiddling around, I think I've got a small menu toolbar working across the top of my blog... You'll have to excuse several extras posts today but I couldn't seem to set up the toolbar without posting these extras...
Over the coming weeks, I hope to expand it with more options so check back soon and let me know what you think :)

And I've also (hopefully) added a link where you can subscribe to my blog... Or you can email a particular post to a friend by clicking on the little envelope icon at the bottom of each post.

Fingers double crossed this all works!!!! Lol

A little mojo this Father's Day

Hi Everyone, Happy Father's Day!! I was trying to do a timed post today, but seeing as hubby is still in bed I thought I'd check my blog and thus found out it hadn't worked.... mmmm more reserach required lol Anyway, this is 1 of 3 cards I needed to make this year for Father's Day. I've dusted off an old stamp set called Loads of Love and combined it with some Baja Breeze & Whisper White card and some matching Designer series papers. The layout is from Mojo Monday. I've also used some dimensionals to raise the truck image off the card and absolutely loved the convenience of my snail adhesive for sticking all the 1" squares down lol :)

Stamp Camp Swaps

A couple of weekends ago, I was given a day pass away from the family to go to a stamp camp arranged by another S/Up demo, Andrea. I could only go for a day BUT it was a whole day of stamping and swapping cards with the other ppl on camp. I invited Mum to come along too so it was a good chance to chat with her and the other ladies at the camp. Our pre-camp challenge was to create a showbox swap which is where we have to design a card and then have the kits and everything avail for anyone else to make at the camp. This is a quick pic of some of the swaps

And this is the swap that I made...

 

 

The bauble image in the middle (on the Very Vanilla card) spins round... Hence the 2 photos to show you each side. The Real Red bauble is outlined with Dazzling Diamonds and is mounted on Dimensionals. It proved to be a popular card on the day, which I was very astonished at but very pleased as I had serious doubts about the card all week before! Stamps used: "Tree Trimmings" $24.95 from the Spring Mini Catty "Best yet" - Hostess Rewards 2009-10 "Its Beautiful" Wheel Card: Handsome Hunter, Real Red & Very Vanilla.... I love my traditional Chrissy colours :) Oh, and you may notice that I've also been playing and created my 'watermark' for all my photos... Just trying to keep up with the trends and also promote myself some more (or some ppl call it blowing my own horn lol).

My Spring Mini THANK YOU!!

Hi Everyone, Firstly I would like to say a big thank you to everyone that was able to attend my inaugral Spring Mini Catalogue Launch Party on Sat... I hope you all enjoyed yourselves as I sure did :) For those that weren't able to make it, I thought I'd show you some pics of what we made... These cards and the little box were all stamped with the Forest Friends Set (at only $24.95 its a bargain but bursting with cute!! ~ lol) Anyway, this is the set that all my guests walked away with: This card was CASED from the Spring Mini Catalogue but I did make 3 changes... 1) the word 'friends' 2) the ribbon 3) the flower brad This card I designed myself and we used the lace eyelet punch.. What a great way to add a little extra details and like all the S/Up punches, its so easy to use! This little box was filled with goodies and is a perfect fit for storing the little notecards we made. The ribbon to open the box is simply looped through a jumbo eyelet (set by my crop-a-dile - what a splurge but oh so handy!!! see page 155 of your 2009-10 IBC) The idea for the box was from Lee-Anne, when she showed me how to make a 'pizza box' for notecards (it was quite a while ago, but I still have my tart & tangy box and cards Lee-Anne! And I still luv it) And these were 2 extra cards I designed as I was so in the zone last week. I was feeling a little blah lately but this project has given me a boost and a timely reminder that I can be creative and productive! Being a stay at home mum you sometimes forget there is a person behind all the washing and cleaning lol :P

If you would like to have a go at making these cards, I am happy to offer them as a lesson, just email me and we can work out the details.

The results of my Stampin' Up! Training Day

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to show you a couple of pics of a photo album made from cardstock and the 'I wish' scrapbook kit from Stampin' Up. I learnt how to make this at my training day on Sunday and if you are interested, I'm thinking about arranging a class for this too - it would make a great Chrissy gift. Anyway, here are the pics and don't forget to let me know what you think...

Anyway this is a pic of my swap card for the day... Lee-Anne set us the challenge of using Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, Kiwi Kiss and Red Riding Hood. I wasn't sure where to start with these colours but am pretty happy with the final result!

First of all I had this, which I wasn't very happy with...

So I stepped my card by added a some extra layers of card,some shading and changed the size of the card to make:
