SUMMER MINI HERE WE COME!!

Ohhh!! I am in heaven.

I spent the good part of this morning mounting and putting together some of my new stamps from the new Summer Mini Catalogue. Tonight i just had to have a quick play, I used the stamp set called "Embrace Life." I absolutely love it and the coordinating DSP paper that goes with it!!!! You should click on the photo to enlarge it so that you can see how cool the paper is. I also sewed on some beads to accent the flower with lots of layering, I'm really going to enjoy this stamp set.

I think I will send this card to a friend who has had a really hard week with a husband in hospital so i hope it brightens her week!!

Have a great night.

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS.

In the next two weeks i am doing a workshop and the host is having a red and white christmas theme.

I have just finished making these really cool christmas decorations that i am going to give away as gifts and decorate the tables with.

To make these click here, I embellished with ribbon and used the snow flurries stamp set. I have a few other projects up my sleeve so watch this space.

VERY MERRY!!!

Just a quick post to show you what i made as a gift. Its a very simple card that took no time at all to make,click on the photo to make the image bigger, the cards are just under 4x4 and i altered the measurements of the bottom box so that the cards fit in :) (scroll down archive posts to see the tutorial link on how to make this box)

Merry, Merry stamp set from Stampin up, is such a versatile stamp set i especially love the stamp that i used on the background of the cards.

You don't have to have lots of card stock or a thousand ink pads when you first start out stamping, by adding black or just white ( like i have done) to whatever color you have still looks effective.

Its a good idea to buy the stamps that you are attracted to and ribbon (LOL) and as you start using the stamps you can work out and add to the colours you like using.

You cant see that well in the photo but i added Dazzling Diamonds on the background and a brad in the middle of the snowflake.

KWERNER CHALLENGE

I am so excited to finally be able to participate in these colour challenges, I have been a fan of Kwerners blog for awhile and now that i have a blog i can enter YEAH!!!.

I love these colours but don't use them a lot, and i just received Stampin' Ups felt flowers that are in the new mini and couldn't resist putting one on the card somewhere (L0L) We don't have Pacific Blue yet in New Zealand so i used brillant blue instead,

CHOOSE YOUR COLOUR

This box and card set is so versatile once you learn how to make it you can change the layout and pick your own colours and apply it to any theme.

This box and card would be perfect for a birthday gift, and wouldn't it look great with a cellophane bag full of pink jellybeans to go inside the box. So if you would like to make this box scroll down to the post called

November classes for details and a picture of exactly what we are making on the night and

send me an e-mail or phone me for more information and to book your place.

Have a great night.
