Baby, Baby

This is a baby card that I made for a wonderful friend Leisa, who lives on the Gold Coast of Australia. I've used the new Baby Bundle stamp set, which is too cute. You're really spoilt for choice with this set, because there are 16 stamps with a mixture of images and messages.

Stamp Set: Baby Bundle
Cardstock: Night of Navy, Bashful Blue, Whisper White
Ink: Night of Navy, Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Blender Ben, Scallop Oval Punch, Large Oval Punch, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Silver Mini Library Clip, Bashful Blue 1/4" grosgrain ribbon (retired).

Yummy Rich Razzleberry

When I first heard the colour Rich Razzleberry, it conjured up all kinds of images for me - mainly of ice cream.  Don't ask me why, because although I do love ice cream, you can't go past the good old New Zealand favourite of Hokey Pokey. Anyway, I love Rich Razzleberry and have been using it quite a lot since it was introduced to us, back in June. Here's a card I made using it against Whisper White which I think, makes a nice crisp combination.

Stamp Sets: Printed Petals, Perfect Punches
Cardstock: Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry
Ink: Rich Razzleberry
Accessories: Rich Razzleberry 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon, White Jumbo Brad, 1/2" Circle Punch, Extra Large Oval Punch, Dimensionals, Perfect Polka dots embossing folder.

 

Fantastic Launch yesterday...

I just wanted to thank everyone who came along yesterday and made my Catalogue launch so successful. And, a special mention to my wonderful downline Joy and Robyn who were busy feeding and watering everyone and being my extra pairs of hands. Although, it was wet and miserable outside I was rapt that it didn't deter anyone from venturing outside to come along and share in the fun and excitement.

This was one of the make n' takes that were available to make - very easy and simple using the For You Flower.

The other make n' take I've done before at the Trust Craft show but have just changed the colours.

Stamp Set: All a Flutter, Short and Sweet
Cardstock: Pacific Point, Whisper White, Baja Breeze
Ink: Pacific Point, Baja Breeze
Accessories: Dimensionals, Blender pen,

Well, that's another weekend almost done and dusted, and back to the grind tomorrow.

Until next time - happy stampin'  

You're a Star!

This was the card that my younger daughter Bridgette made for her Dad for Father's Day. It took a bit of cajoling to get to her sit down to do so, but I think she actually enjoyed it in the end.  Of course, she'd never admit to it though. It was cased from Andrea Walford and I think she did a pretty good job. 

I must have been feeling in a very kind mood when I encouraged Bridgette to make her Dad a card, because I let her use my very special and all time favourite designer paper, Parisian Breeze. It retired some time ago and I'd never even used it...not one piece. I'd get it out of its bag and look at it longingly, but could never quite bring myself to cut it up. Is that wierd or what??

Stamp Set: Totally Tools, Classic Stars jumbo wheel
Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Whisper White
DSP: Parisian Breeze (retired)
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze
Accessories: Chocolate Chip 3/8" Grosgrain Ribbon (retired), Blender pen, Styled Silver Hodgepodge hardware, Clips Assortment, Circle Scissors plus.

Enjoy Every Moment

This was my favourite project taught at our Regional Training day back in July. Who doesn't love to play? Well, us demonstrators are no exception. This was the FREE stamp set we were treated to, which I really like. It's a very versatile set and is now available for you to purchase, from today. There are 4 stamps and it's great value for $30.95 for clear or $38.95 wood mount.

Anyway, back to our training day - we were taught the masking technique and watercolouring with real watercolouring paper. This card also features the lovely "new" yellow Daffodil Delight, the "new" self adhesive pearls and 1/8" taffeta ribbon. I'm definitely going to have to do something about my camera because although the picture doesn't show - Daffodil Delight is lovely and vibrant. It might just have to be one of my first purchases from the new cattie...

Stamp Set: Every Moment
Ink: Soft Suede, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive
Paper: Watercolour, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Old Olive

Other: Aqua painter, pearl, clip, 1/8" Old Olive taffeta ribbon, 3/8" Daffodil Delight taffeta ribbon, spritzer, scallop edge border punch.
