Harry Potter Sweets... With Stampin UP!

This week we had a girly day out to GOLD class movies... just to spoil ourselves before the onslaught of the madness of kids on School holidays and Christmas.. I got this FANTASTIC idea for a party bag from some of my friends on Facebook.. They have done Twilight and Harry Potter treat bags.. and man they have been really Awesome.. some people are just soooooo creative!!! .... so I wanted to try doing some myself.. and WOW Stampin Up does make them look really professional!!! How much FUN!!!!

Harry Potter Sweets... With Stampin UP!I Googled Harry Potter Candy images and came up with some of the candy that gets a mention in the books and the movies... Above I have the Honeydukes Chocolate Frogs... and wouldn't you know it Elegant Eggplant went BRILLIANTLY with the label.... Which we had to do a little remaking cause the best image we could find was a little blurry... So saffron was close to the Goldy colour so I used a little strip on the side of the box and punched it with the Scallop Trim Border Punch.. How AWESOMELY did it go with the look of the label??? It really finished off the box quite well!!! We had 5 different flavored Fredo Frogs in the box... Yum Yum!!!

Harry Potter SJelly Slugs - With Stampin UP!The Jelly Slugs label went PERFECTLY with Pacific Point card stock.. And I used my Big Shot to punch out a bag topper..... Of course I could not find anything that looked like a slug sooooo I put a few snakes in the bag.... Close enough....

Harry Potter Bertie Botts Beans - With Stampin UP!
Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans..... This label went perfectly with Elegant Eggplant again....
I put some mini Jelly Beans in this bag... and man Were they SWEET!!!!

Harry Potter Movie Treat Bag... With Stampin UP!
I put all out treats in a lovely bag and presented them to the girls just before going into the movies... It was a hoot.. and made it all the more special!!! I also printed out a label for some Butter Beer... in the photo it looks a little bad cause the condensation got to it but when I dried it off and put it in the fridge overnight it dried right out and the crinkled label looked quite authentic... I really wanted to have a bottle of Ginger Beer for this one but the shop was out of them.. so I went for good old lemon lime and bitters....

I printed all the labels on sticky photo paper to make it REALLY easy to stick on each item...


Fantastic Memories..... Thanks girls for sharing it with me!!!

Dress up Christmas Class

If you did not come to the class you will have missed out on these FABULOUS projects..
We made 4 Cards, one 12x12 Scrapbook page and a Christmas decoration...

Dress up Christmas Class CardsHow BEAUTIFUL is the Flocked DSP? I love the simplicity of the little card in the bottom left corner.... One stamped image, a little DSP, a knot of ribbon and a greeting on top.. This one you could mass produce quite easily!!! And it would be very cost effective!!!

Dress up Christmas Class Scrapping PageI'm yet to find some suitable Christmas type photos to put on this Scrap page... and how easy was the Joy embellishment? Cut out with the big shot oval die...

Dress up Christmas Class Tree DecorationAnd in the decoration is the Joy embellishment again only this time we embossed it with clear embossing and the little bird was coated with crystal effects to give it the shiny dimensional look... Just lovely!!!

We had a lovely time and enjoyed learning a few new techniques... Thanks to a fantastic class designed by Liz....

Stamping on a Frame

A few weekends ago a girlfriend came over to have a crafty day... And she bought one of her projects that she wanted to complete for a personalised wedding gift.

When I saw the invite that she wanted to include in the frame I suggested that she stamp leaf images around the outside of the frame.. and WOW it turned out fantastic!!!

Stampin on a frame with PaintWe spray painted the silver base colour and used acrylic paints applied to the stamp with a Dauber.. and stamped randomly around the frame.... I do believe that it turned out just lovely.. And very personalised!!!

Voting Ribbons

Recently my Son was running for School Captain... and he had to have a campaign and some badges and flags or things to hand out to the kids at school to remind them to vote for him.. we had fun making at least 150 of these.. We used a whole heap of Scrap card stock and left over ribbons... It was amazingly quite Quick... I love Stampin Up punches!!!!

He had a blast making them and LOVED handing them out to the kids at school!!!

Unfortunately he was not awarded School Captain or vice captain. I reminded him that just because he does not have the title there is no reason that he can not be a big support to the ones that were elected...
