Here's another card we made at my last class that was part of the Natures Walk boxed set. Remember, I told you that I purchased the tutorial from the wonderfully talented Jenny Moors, so this is totally cased from her collection. There was nothing difficult about this card, but I think there is enough detail to make it interesting and I love the muted Autumn colours.
Stamp Set: Nature Walk, Curly Cute
Card Stock: Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Old Olive
Designer Paper: Botanical (retired)
Ink: Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive, Stampin' Markers

I hope you are enjoying your day and creating something fantastic!
This is one of the cards that we're making at my class tonight and then again on Sunday. I've had some last minute cancellations so if you're wanting to come along - I have space available and would love to see you. I purchased the tutorial for this gorgeous set from Jenny Moors, who is an amazing demonstrator from the UK. Pop along and have a look at her blog - I'm sure you'll be inspired.
We're making a set of three full size cards (with envelopes) and a coordinated box. Email me HERE if you would like to come along.

And, isn't this swap adorable! It was made by Narelle Hoggard and she's also used one of my favourite stamp sets Creative Elements. You may have noticed that I have lots of favourite sets.....lol. Narelle got the idea for the coffee cup from Brenda Quintana but amended it to her own dimensions. How clever is that!

I hope your weekend is going great and you've had time to do a little crafting.
I have had to make two bereavement cards this past week. And, like most people, they're not my favourite kind of card to make although sometimes making the card is the easy bit. The difficult part, is finding the words to express the sympathy I feel for the recipients and this was no exception.
This is a case from Lee Conrey who is a demonstrator from Florida, in the USA. It uses the Nature Walk stamp set and I love the simplicity of it.
I've used the Scallop Square Duo with my trusty Big Shot and as you know, the Scallop Squares don't come in this size. To get the size I needed, I matched up the scallops and ran it through the Big Shot a few times, until I got the right size. It took a couple of attempts because I hadn't done it before, but now I'm quite the expert ;) Give it a go and you'll see just how easy it is. The Scallop Square Duo Bigz Die has 10% off till the 30 November, so you pay just $43.65 for the two sizes - but follow my instructions and you really get loads of different sizes. How good is that!! Email me here if you'd like to order one.
Stamp: Nature Walk, Curly Cute
Card Stock: Whisper White, Baja Breeze
Ink: Baja Breeze
Accessories: Big Shot, Scallop Square Duo Bigz Die, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Baja Breeze Seam Binding Ribbon, Old Olive and Baja Breeze Stampin' Marker pens.
Last month we had team training which, as always, was loads of fun. This was one of the projects we made which was taught by Ann Wills. Isn't it great! I've had lots of positive comments even though my top butterfly is on a slight lean.

and a year wiser... A good friend and work colleague celebrated her birthday on Sunday. I dropped this card into her letterbox, late Saturday night because I knew that she was out and about early on her special day. I hope you had a wonderful day Tammie.
I've cased this card from a blog I found while blog hopping one day, but I'm sorry I can't remember who. If it was you, please come forward and make yourself known, so I can give you the credit you deserve.
You can't really see in the photo but I've twisted the ribbon around while attaching it to the sticky strip underneath. I've seen this on lots of projects and is something I've wanted to try for a while. I quite like the end result.
Stamp Set: Nature Walk
Cardstock: River Rock, Very Vanilla, Early Expresso

It's a stunning day here in Auckland today which is a vast contrast to the cold and windy day we had yesterday.
Talk to you again soon :)
Well, not quite the wild side but a nature walk... I wanted to update my display board and show off some new products from the Autumn/Winter mini catalogue so went blog hopping, and found this lovely card from Jennifer Weide which I have cased. It uses four new products including my fave Nature Walk stamp set and coordinating designer paper, a beveled windowpane and the new framed tulips embossing folder. Check out Jennifer's blog - she's certainly got it going on and has lots of inspiring projects.

It was my good friend (and wonderful upline) Karen's birthday last week. This was the card that I made using Nature Walk (I told you I was going to get a lot of use out of it). I've inked up a clear block (size D) with Crumb Cake ink to create the background and am quite happy with how it turned out, especially when it was another late night creation.

I hope you're having a great week.
We had our paperKRafters team training last weekend, organised by our illustrious leader Karen. It was a really fun afternoon and Karen taught us two great projects (which I'll showcase at a later time). We also made swaps and for my swap, I used Nature Walk (the stamp set I won at our Regional Training) and the new Framed Tulips Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I sponged around the edges of the frame, which makes it really stand out.
