More of Xmas

Yes I know. Another week has passed again. Really I have no excuse, time just seems to whiz by. Last night I was busy blog hopping and came across some really cool boxes on Andrea Walfords blog. Both these were orginally Easter items if your checking out her blog (and are simply too cute for words). The top one is a peek-a-boo gable box, and the bottom a door hanger treat pouch. I needed a better image I think for inside the peek-a-boo, so will have to give this another go. Maybe some presents peeking up might be better.

Enjoy your week and remember there is only 4 more days left to make purchases out of the current Spring mini.

Time for a Change

What do you think? I decided tonight it was time for a change. I got tired of looking at all the pink that used to be on my blog. I went for a surf around found a new banner and changed the background colour.

Third and final post

Yep here's some more I created. Its amazing what can happen once you've cleared a block.

This one uses Lovely as a Tree, Party punch and Say it with Scallops(found in the new summer mini coming your way 1st december) and the scallop square punch aslo in the new mini.
This uses Scribble this, Baroque Motifs and many merry messages. The large flower is versa marked on vallum cardstock then embossed using silver ep and coloured from the back using ruby red and handsome hunter marker pens.












And the very last one again uses baroque motifs, many merry messages and party punch. I used a large round tab circle temporarily adherred in the middle and stamped the small flower/star image around this, removed the tab circle and replaced with the scallop circles in real red and glorious green with the merry christmas from the party punch set. The large scallop rectangle around the Happy holidays is made using the new scallop edge punch out of the summer mini. I can tell this is going to be one of my favourite new tools. Scallop squares and rectangles any size you please plus it also makes a groovy medallion too.






Okay so that's all I have for now. Back again hopefully in the not too distant future.

Post 2

Alright so I was onto a bit of a roll by the time I finished the last three cards and thought I'd keep going.

The top card uses Pick a petal, many merry messages and Priceless. I made a template for the base of the candles using a scrap of white card and punched out some squares then sponged around the edges and stamped the swirl from priceless on. I stamped the flame of the candle in summer sun ink, rock n rolled in pumpkin pie , then used my glue pen and dazzling diamonds to finish it off.

This one uses Solomn stillness, many merry messages and festive favourites. Another very simple card but I still think its quite effective. I stamped the snow flakes with white craft ink on night of navy cardstock. Teared a piece of whisper white for the snow and sponged the top with Sanded ink. Stamped the Tree from solemn stillness, cut out and attached with a square of close to cocoa sponged around the edges for the trunk of the tree.

This one is a tag punch star.

Cute or what?

Thought I'd share with you some Cased Cards. Is this just the cutest thing you've seen? I sat down Saturday to create some Xmas cards and had a bit of a block. Splitcoast to the rescue! Can't remember who the original designer is of the cards I found unfortunately or I would give credit. Both Santa's are made using Su's very cool punches. I so love the top santa he is just so cute. He is the combination of a couple of different images on splitcoast combined together. The second card was originally created using a nestability for the face and surrounding hair, while not actually owning these I made do with the scallop punch and large 13/8 circle punch. Which I think turned out just great. Add some googly eyes and voila. The third card uses the stamp set snow flurries and the large13/8 square punch. I mixed some dazzling diamonds with some white ep for the star/snow flakes down the side.

New Product

There goes another week. Boy do they just keep flying past. I can't believe how fast Xmas is approaching. I am so unprepared this year. Usually I have almost all my Xmas shopping done by now, not this year, I have absolutely none done and the worst is I'm not even sure what the kids are getting. I'll have to get a wriggle on won't I. Anyway I made a couple of cards this week I thought I'd share with you all. They both use some very cool new stuff out of the summer mini due out on the 1st of December. I love being a demo and getting to pre-order stamp sets.




This is the card I made for my Dads birthday today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD ( not that he reads my blog but the thoughts there). It uses For Father out of the summer mini. I just love the image on this card. Its so cute. Both my kids had to make cards as well and both begged to use this same stamp set. So with a little supervision of my gorgeous new product Pop/Dad ended up with three puppy cards.





This next card is one I made for my Aunty who very graciously gave us a very lovely wall unit. It uses Embrace life and Say It with Scallops stamp sets, as well as two very cool new punches.








Okay off to create some more.

Pretty Princess

Excuse the night time photo and the very quick post but I just thought I'd share the card I whipped up tonight for a very special little girl I know having a momentous birthday very shortly. My that all sounds very cryptic doesn't it. Anyway hope you all had a terrific day today. One more day to go till the weekend yay.

Christmas Boot

After Blog hopping for awhile today I decided to give the xmas stocking stuffers found on Anna Sutherland's blog (original designer Lauren Meader) a go. They are just the cutiest thing. I tried to make it look like a santa boot rather than a stocking not sure if I quite pulled the santa boot look off but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I've decided these are going to be one of the items we will make at stamp club this month. I still have three Fridays to go before this happens but I just had to share. So if my ladies are checking out my blog sorry to spoil part of the surprise but I will console myself with the knowledge that you still don't know what I will stuff them with. Can anyone guess I wonder?
