Wedding Cake Celebration

Have you ever wanted to make a lovely classy wedding cake card?? Well with these AMAZING products you can...
With the Cake Soiree Stamp Set & Sweet Cake Framelets It's super easy..

In these cards I used gold heat embossing powder to stamp teh images and then coloured with some ink taken from the inside of the ink pad lid and my Aqua Pinter Pen..

I love how detailed the serving tray is.. it looks so beautiful and elegant!!

And why not add a little extra bling with a string of sequins and some gold glimmer paper cut out with the bow shape in the framelets...




I added the greeting by cutting out a banner in black card stock and running it through the Big Shot with the Celebrate You Thinlets.. you can use the positive greeting or the negative...

Craftroom organisation - Woodworking by Hubbie

 Check out my punch rack.. WAHOOOIEEEE!!. My hubbie made this for me a month ago... and I am LOVING it but as you can see I already need another level... or perhaps another whole shelving system.. seeings as I NEVER get rid of my punches.. :P #Ilovestampinuppunches
 #Myhubbieisthebest!


And this is a FANTASTIC bench he made for one of my fantastic fellow SU demos and dear friend.. Jen.. She wanted a stand up work station where she could display stuff and also do BIG SHOT stuff..  then she wanted to have some cupboards of coasters to slide under the table so all her stamps, punches and other accessories could be stored in them,... HOW AWESOME is this??? I think I may have to put an order in!!!
I loved it so much while it was in my studio awaiting to be delivered I just had to use it!!! :P

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

Paper Angel Training Box Challenge

We made these lovely chocolate boxes in one of our Paper Angel Training meetings and it inspired a  Box Challenge for the next months meeting ...
So many of our Angels came up with some lovely ideas...

Chalkboard Technique

I am in love with the Chalkboard Technique it is such a cool technique and I love that if it is a little messy it does not matter... ... This was one of the classes I did last year...

It is quite simple.. all you have to do is take your white craft ink and dauber it lightly or stamp it and smudge it a little... Or you can stamp with your craft in k full strength and wait for it to dry then add a little colour it with water colour pencils.  I love being artistic and doing something a little different...
It's fun to play!!!

Watercolour and Bleach Stamping Canvas

I love Watercolouring and Bleaching.... But mixing them together is AMAZING!!!
This was an Angel Ave Class last year.. We took a large piece of Watercolour paper and our inks and Aqua painter pens... Once you have coloured your page you can then take some stamps and Bleach Stamp... Once it is dry you can then cover your canvas.... And to finish it off you can then get the matching coloured card stock and add some lovely little  embellishments on the canvas...










Here are the ladies pages. They chose their own colours & chose slightly different ways to paint them..

And here is the finished paintings on the canvas....... Have a play it is FUN...

KENG Community Card Classes 2013

The ladies love  our card classes.. they have a fantastic time...

With this first card I took along my draw or Scrap Designer Series Papers and the Big Shot Top Note die cut... The ladies chose the colours they liked and pasted them onto another card front... Then we ran it through the Big Shot to cut it out.. this can give you potentially 2 cards... One with the top note cut out and the other with the negative of the top note...  I love using scraps and inspiring others to do something creative  and different....

Another Class we did last year was a Punch Art Poo Bear card... Kelly made a beautiful honey bee hive to cover a mistake on her card.. It was BRILLIANT!!! So cute!!






Catherine was very happy with her card!!!

We made this cute clothesline card.... Everyone changed things a little.... and they all looked so good!!!

A Hill Hoist Clothesline....







This Cute Santa Suit card was a Hit with the ladies too.. It's a Gate Fold card..
We used the Decorative label punch a a small one to make the belt buckle out of the silver Glimmer paper...



And this CUTE Rudolf Reindeer Punch art card was also a hit... Natasha felt she needed to put his bottom bursting out the back of the card.. What an awesome idea!!!
I suggested on the inside you could put some crape paper for his body...

Foil Art Frame

I was so impressed with Master 10's finished work of art that it was one of those pieces you just have to frame and put on the wall... Master 10  had to used chalk pastels on black card to draw his own interpretation of a Picasso portrait of himself..
Because the Art was so AMAZING... I wanted the frame to be special.. it had to match his FANTASTIC Picasso self portrait....

After a few days of contemplation I came up with the idea of pressed foiling.... This is where you take a piece of foil (either aluminum food wrap on card stock for thickness or a foil BBQ tray) and you put them through the Big Shot with an embossing folder.... (It reminds me a little of the Old Queenslander homes that used to have the Pressed tin walls and roof... So beautiful..... )

I liked that idea but I wanted a little colour in it...  So I invented a way to have our Stampin' Up! water colour inks and an isocol alcohol mix stay on the panels... You will see the process and results below in this pictured tutorial...  Enjoy.. xxoo

1. Take your card stock and a length of aluminum foil

2. Wrap the foil around the card stock

3. Tape it on back

 4. Place foil covered card stock in your desired embossing folder and run through your Big Shot.

 

5. Cover the embossed foil/card with PVA glue

  6. Allow glue to totally dry

7. Mix some Isocol rubbing alcohol with some re-inkers in a spritz bottle...

8. Change colours

 9. Add more

10. Allow to dry

Finally here is the finished product.. It's not a very good photo.. but the real thing looks quite good...

Have fun foiling it up!!!
