Star Box

The Beautiful Rosa taught us how to make this FABULOUS box at one of our training meetings in 2016.. It is so cute... And AWESOME to learn how to do..  using your star framlets (133723)....... you two can make one of these..

Simply cut out two big stars as your base and top of the box.. then cut out strips of matching DSP of the height you would like your box plus 1.5cm for adhering onto base or lid..
Score at 1.5cm long ways... Measure the length of one of the points and score that measurement 10 times on the DSP length .... (you may need to join 2 pieces of DSP to get length needed to go all the way around the box) Then score 1cm at the end to glue inside box ... cut out a triangle in each score line on the 1.5cm strip... the overlapped angle cut edges are glued to base to form the lid and the box base... You do have to be sure that one is slightly bigger than the other......

Have fun making this BEAUTIFUL box... XXOO

Simple Cog Embellishments - How to

These cards are made with retired stamps but I just wanted to point out the cogs.. If you would like to make some of these it is simple... just punch out a circle and cut out some little triangles out of each edge all the way around... simple.. Cogs.. :)

Enjoy....

Punch Art is Always a hit in Thursday Card Class,,,,
how cute is this sophisticated to-phat, monical and Mostache card for a man in your life... It's super easy and cute..

I love it when my ladies play with what I give them to do... the Rose Garden card in the middle is the "sample card".. and this is what a couple of ladies did... Colouring a diffent way (yellow) and using HEAPS of glitter...

 And if you smudge it you can use a few butterflies to cover the mistake.. :P

Botanical Blooms - Just for You

How Awesome are the Botanical Builder Framlets (140625)?

If you haven't had a chance to use them then you must give them a go... so many wonderful things to be made with them!!!

I love the edge Die.... It really gives you a FANTASTIC feature on your projects....

And if you have a large word greeting you can ink it up on 3 different colour ink pads to get the tri-colour effect as on this card.... Make sure to ink up with the lightest colour first.. and if you are doing more than one card be sure to CLEAN WELL before inking up again..

LOVE BUG - Beautiful Ride

This card was made for some wonderful friends.. For their wedding.. I had loads of fun colouring this in with my inks and aqua painting brushes...

This stamp set was perfect for them as they Love the Bug.. and I even put "Ninja" the Dog in the back seat....  Cause he's a part of the marriage too.. :)

LOVE is SUBLIME!!!

Baloon Celebration

Everyone loves Balloons for a BIRTHDAY celebration card... This stamp set "Balloon Celebration" (140675) is fantastic for such cards.. and what is even better is that we have a punch that cuts out all your balloons.. "Balloon Bouquet Punch" (140609) Cut out as many as you want until your heart is content!!!

I've done my favorite thing and CASED the cards in our fantastic Occasional catalogues...


But then I got original and designed this card... using Gorgeous Grunge (130514) small splatter stamp for the background. And then I used my Stampin Write Markers to colour in the different colours to get the rainbow effect on  the greeting..



Happy Stamping!!!

Sahbby Chic Christmas

I designed this BEAUTIFUL Shabby Chic Christmas Card in 2015.

I realised I have not shared it with anyone..

It is so worthy of being shared...

There are many techniques in this card like Dry Embossing-  Distressing - Big Shotting with Thinlets - Punching out and Distress inking...

I love the layered thinlets we have in Stampin' UP! I can see this card made with the stars and the hearts...

So Beautiful.. Soft and feminine with the Pink, Blue, Cream and Crumb Cake colours... And so Shabby CHIC!!!

Enjoy xxxooo

Best Wishes Note Cards (Razzleberry & Indigo) And Bag Topper...


We stamped the envelopes so that they match beautifully with the cards... Just an extra touch.. And if you wanted to make a few of these you could put them in a cellophane bag and give them to your friends or family as a lovely little present...







Blank Note Cards - Razzlberry and Indigo.














Stamping inside the card and on the envelope is also another way to make the WHOLE PACKAGE look BEAUTIFUL!!




















Blooms & Best Wishes Card (CASED 2016-2017 Annual Catalogue) Who says you can not take a BEAUTIFUL project idea right from the catalogue.. Some AMAZING Artisins work for Stampin' UP! so why not CASE their BRILLIANCE and show others how to create BRILLIANTLY!!!






This beautiful card is on page 139 of the 2016-2017 Catty... The one of the right is TOTALLY CASED... But then if you want you can step it up with a little bit of BLING.. Cause it's my Favorite Thing!!! :)




 



Indigo Sunken Oval Frame Card (CASED 2016-2017 Annual Catalogue)
Again another beautiful example in our Catty... I just had to include in our event projects as it was a lovey way to show how the new oval thinlets can work together and embossing and layering techniques...






CD Pillow Box - Have you seen how to make a pillow box with a CD as a template?? It's so cool... I will attach the CD Pillow Box PDF I created here for you to use if you like it.. You will need a piece of DSP 6"x12"












And last but definitely not least here is a FANTASTIC Z Fold card... The BEAUTIFUL faux suede flower in the center was definitely a hit... Everyone loves the flowers... not necessarily the process of separating the card stock.. but they all love the look.. So it is worth the work...

Hope you enjoy these projects...
