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

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

Boxes FULL of Christmas

What a Fantastic Event.. How Awesome were the projects?

Everyone LOVED them!!!!

This was the TEASER I sent out to all my customers to get them interested in coming to the event...

I took some close up photos of some of the elements on each project and used my PhotoCollage App on my phone and wallah here is the teaser. Too easy...

 And here is all the Projects we made on the day.... We played Christmas Carols all day...
                             And we raised money again for the Angel Baby Boxes....







This Three Times a Reindeer Card was inspired by Margaret Johnson photo I found on Pintrest... www.stamphaven.ca.












This project - Christmas Tea Time Box was a SMASH HIT.. Everyone loved it.. It is such a simple project and easy to mass produce... And it is so DANG cute!!!

I found the cute little spoons in the bargin shop they were $2.50 for a 20 pack... the Measurements in this project are in the instructions in the PDF attached to this blog... If you would like to reproduce... You could make these for gifts for teachers.. for birthdays or just for thank you's...

I found this fantastic idea and was inspired by Franz - www.franz-z-blog.blogspot.com.au ... I changed the measurements slightly...

 

This Wooden Block Christmas Perpetual Calendar  was another hit.. It was pretty easy to make although we did come up with a better way to cover the blocks.. Rather than trying to sand off the excess we learned that it is MUCH quicker to use a craft knife to cut off the excess and then to sand the edges...

My talented Hubbie made the blocks and the stands...
We were so grateful for this GORGEOUS project!!!










The little Mini Jingle Bells are so cute as holly Berries.. and the fine silver thread is just such a nice touch to embellish it a little more...  If you stick the embellishment onto a wooden peg you can change it to something else with ease.





Christmas EXPLOSION Box ... This was fun to make.. a little intricate but could you imagine your loved ones of friends opening it up to find all the wonderful pockets full of pictures and journaling...













Here's a close up of the BEAUTIFUL tag on the outside of the box made with our lovely new Cheerful Tag Framelets... 141838




This is the Box opened up.. It's pretty impressive when you take off the lid and it all folds out..

If you wanted to you could also take out the inserts and put them into a scrapbook album no problem... 

Here is some photos of the individual inserts










And a close up of the Christmas tree...






















I LOVE this Jolly Jumper Card.. How cute is he??
Punch Art is always my favorite things to do with paper craft.. .. and this little CUTIE is made from only 2 punches... (Cookie Cutter Builder 40396 and Jolly Hat Builder 141847) TOO EASY.. FANTASTIC for us AUSSIES!!!  A little Kangaroo!!!


Here is the instructions for how to make this little cutie!!!!

The original Punch Art was created by Carolyn Bennie - www.carolynbennie.com....

I love that Stampin Up demos share their FANTASTIC Creations.. So we can all look super talented and creative!!!

Here is a list of the products I used for these projects... if you don't have all of them you can always substitute... I did do a lot of prep for this class almost everything was cut out and ready for my customers as I knew it was an ADVANCED class... But it was so worth it.. Everyone went home feeling uplifted and feeling that they had made some BEAUTIFUL projects.. Money and time well spent.. for the day of FUN... Plus we supported a worthy cause and as always Satmpin' Up sported us with a FANTASTIC box of Product to raffle off...

We had 7 ladies attend and 4 who couldn't make the day and purchased the kits to take home.. So with our botique class we raised a total of $120... A fantastic effort...

Small Stamp's - Stamp and Stack Class

This Cute Stamp Set was given to many of us as a PRIZE PATROL at the On Stage Event... 
(Every Occasion • 20 rubber stamps 141879 $50.00 aud | $61.00 nzd (wood blocks included) • 141882 $37.00 aud | $44.00)

I Went to Auckland NZ this year...SOOOO AWESOME!!! Now that the onstage events are all over the world you can combine your Stampin Up passion with traveling if you wish... and get to meet some lovely Overseas stamping up Demos... So cool...

Anyway back to the cute stamp set.... The lovely NZ demo that introduced this stamp set to us had designed this cute set out for her demo cards.. So when I came home I had to put it to use and had a stamp n stack class using these stamps... It's a great way to use many small stamps in an effective way.. Also she had this fantastic tip with some of the stamps you may not use too much.. change teh stamp... you can cut it or you can just stamp a section of the stamp to create somethign different.. like the border on the Wedding bell card.. it's created with the Jewish Candle Sticks as a scallop border.. COOL idea hay?!!!

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!!!


Glitter on the clouds..
Double clothes lines..
Colouring the clouds

Having the washing falling off
the clothesline

                                                    
A Bird on the line and
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...

BORBAL.... Christmas Decorations

How nice would it be to make your own Christmas decorations every year?... what a cool family time project to do!!!!I'm sure that making them would cost less then buying new ones every year!!! and you would get EXACTLY what you would want!!!

We made these three lovely different Ornaments last year in an Angel Ave class... It was great fun...

The red one is made with Over head transparencies.. or offcuts from laminating that didn't have a picture in them.. ( I went to Office works to get a few things laminated and asked them not to trim them neat... I trimmed them when I got home and kept the offcuts for such a project...)
HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN
1.Cut out your desired shapes (flowers) with the Big Shot....
2.Spritz them all generously (If you mix your re-inkers with rubbing alcohol {I used Isicole} you can make a permanent paint solution that will stay on plastic... and you can add a little champagne shimmer paint if you like.... you will need to experiment with colours..  We found blue did not work as well... Not sure why it must be some kind of chemical science thing)
3.Dry them with the Heat tool... and get them quite hot so that you can shape them.. because they are plastic they will keep their shape... (and laminate is great for that)
4.Arrange them and join them together with a brad
5.Adhere a ribbon and card board circle peice for the hanfigin loop...
6.Finish off with a little glitter glue and you have a lovely new ornament to go on your tree...

The Black and white one was simply using a polystyrene ball, some pins and lots of lovely die cut snow flakes... I think this one is simply soooooooooooo Elegant!!! I's love a whole tree full of these!!!

And the last one is based on the lovely ornament that was on the front of the Sept 2012 - Jan 2013 Holiday Catalogue... I just loved it and had to make it....you need stamps, die cuts, silicone mat, hot glue gun, inks, ribbons and maybe some bling for this one...

The lovely Catherine made these ones...
