Florist Cards


Here is a quick look at a few of the designs, I make for Flowers Everywhere at Mawson Lakes. Every month, I take in a variety of designs and whom ever is working at the time picks a selection, of what they like. This month I am taking in some Christmas cards to see how they go. These cards are only 3" x 4" (once folded). I do take some time and effort with a couple of the designs - however quicker and easier are often the ones that sell faster. I will try and post another page of designs tonight or tomorrow. For further informations on products used here please contact me or leave a message.

Saturdays Creations

Well, I have found time to make it back. Feels like a miracle - three times in three days. I had a thought that maybe it was time to think about me and create for me for a while and see if that gave me a little more inspiration to put ink to paper (so to speak). It worked.

More Cards


Okay, it is time to share some more creations with you all. The butterfly card has had the ornate border stamped with perfect medium onto vellum and embossed in gold. The butterfly is also done using the same process, except it is not stamped on vellum and stamped directly onto black card stock. Kaszazz, white grossgrain ribbon is used in the middle. The whole card is made on Berry Red card stock


A Paisley Birthday. This card is made using a Rollagraph wheel, Perfectly Paisley. The flowered images have been coloured with Aquacolour Crayons. White rick rack and Purple Bazzill have been used to make the cross section. Happy Birthday has been stamped in Vivid purple.

Lighthouse card. This card was made back in September for a class I do at a community centre. All the images have been stamped in Distress Walnut Stain. Kaszazz, brown with cream stitch ribbon has been used. Oatmeal card and Java are used to back the lighthouse image. The image was stamped directly ontio white then coloured with aquacolor crayons.

Last but not least is a card using Mini Misters. Mini Misters are a little vial with a spray top. You fill them 3/4 with water and add a few drops of ink refiller (and a small amount of perfect pearls - for shine - optional). Here I have used Vivid Inky Blue. The grass is stamped in Olive Chalk ink. The Thinking of you stamp it stamped in Vivid Black and is from the Mini Messages set of stamps
Hope I have given you a few more ideas. For further information on cards, stamps etc, please do not hesitate to leave a message or contact me. Happy Paper Crafting!!!

A4 Frames


These frames have become another favourite for me at the moment. I have decorated quite a few. Two of them have become my favourites. The boy one, has had lots of response. It is possible it will be sent into Kaszazz to become a workshop but am deciding what else to put with it, to make it fit into the time requirements. Any thoughts??

more creations






I have been playing around with different designs for gift card ideas for Christmas. This has become one of my favourite cards to make to put the gift cards into. In between the different designs of paper, there is a pocket. 2 pockets in total. So much fun to make and so many designs possible. Decorating them is easy to, especially with all Kaszazz's co-ordinating cutout sheets, ribbons and embellishments

Busy Month

What a really busy month!!! Lots and Lots going on. Kaszazz have some amazing specials this month that have kept me really busy . Along with some of our products going down in price (thanks to the American dollar!) To top it off, my team got offered a spot at the Northern Stamping and Scrapbooking Fair, at the Playford Civic centre in Elizabeth. We spent many, many hours getting ready and when the day came what an amazing outcome. So many new people, to catch up with. Our 1st large market and no regrets.



For those of you who could not make it to the Fair, this is the card you could have made on the day. It is part of a 2hour workshop that I have submitted to Kaszazz. I am just waiting for it to be approved - then I will show you the rest of the cards.

This stamp was at the top of my wish list when the new release came out. I ordered it straight away. I finally got a chance to play with it over the weekend. Loved stamping it. Not sure how I am going to finish this card but thought I would show it to you all anyway. Have a fabulous weekend.

Morgan Getaway

A very big thank you to Paula, (a team leader, from our team). Paula invited some of us up to her family shack for a little r and r over the weekend. It was so peaceful, and I think I may have relaxed a little too much. No children and lots of craft was on the agenda, when we left. Once we got there, we chilled out completely. As for the craft, we did manage to fit some in. The photos here are some of what I did. I have managed another 5 and started a double page layout. The 5 cards will be going into Kaszazz as a 5pq as soon as I get some time to write them up, or maybe into a magazine if I get the courage. Not sure my stuff is magazine worthy.

Also a big thank you to Dana and Kellie. It was wonderful to meet you both and to spend some time with you. A big welcome to Kellie and congrats for joining Paula's team.

The first two cards, have the new dogwoods rollagraph stamp. I love this. I think I will be using it alot. Glad I brought it when I did. Lots more creations will be made with it.


The Olive Card is the new Kaszazz SB card. It is such a beautiful shade of green. (think i will be using this alot too). On this card I have used the Smuding Tool, with 3 lots of Distressed Ink to make the background. The Flutterby card, has been coloured in with chalks. both have stickles in the centre of the blossoms.



The coffee coloured birdie card. This card has been made using the new Kaszazz SB card in the espresso colour. The fancy flourish is a stamp exclusive to Kaszazz, it has been stamped using walnut stain distress ink. The birdies are from a new rollagraph, called birdies. They have been coloured in using chalks. The ribbon is our white grosgrain coloured with the walnut distress ink. The birds have been rolled onto ivory card using ancient page chocolate


Last card is also using a rollagraph. This one is called Doodles. The second I saw it, I knew I had to have it. Once I rolled it I was not so certain it was me. However, playing with it a little and colouring it in (and watching Kellie make a card with it), made me realise I do really like it. This card has been coloured in using chalks and the new Smooch. What do you think?

Black Magic Silhouette Cards




These three cards are one of the projects I have sent into Kaszazz that got approved. These are not completely finished samples. At the time of scanning the cards, I thought I had finished them. Just before taking them into Kaszazz I made a slight adjustment. I added rhinestones.

I have used bubblegum bazzill, parakeet bazzill and Purple Bazzil, black and white card stock and Frost White Colorbox ink. To colour in the images I have used Basic Brights Pebbles Chalks.
I had a lot of fun playing with colour on these images. I would like to thank Kari for teaching the technique. Hope you like them as much as we all did.

Projects approved

I would like to thank all of the people who encouraged and helped me to complete the many projects I have sent in to Kaszazz for publication (for other consultants to use in workshops). I think you will all be happy to know they have all been accepted. As, I find out that they are available to view on the Kaszazz website I will let you know. If you would like to see what other workshops are available please visit the Kaszazz site www.kaszazz.com there is a pdf that shows you all the 2 hour and 5 projects quick's that are available. If you would like to do any of the workshops please do not hesitate to contact me. In the coming days I will post some of the Double Scrapbook Pages that I have done from the 2 hour projects list. Until then have fun crafting!!!!

What a successful week


Talk about busy!!! DO not think I had much time to complete anything But I did. How, I will never know. Three more projects have been taken into Kaszazz for publication for consultants to use as workshops. My last couple of projects have been accepted - for those of you who were wondering. Kaszazz also released some the Mini July Promotions early. I have already placed the order for some and have played (will show these later). And to top it all off, we had a great workshop at home last night. Thanks Nicole. You have inspired me. Nicole, was hanging out to do the Man's Best Friend frame. I can tell you she completed in a remarkable time and it looks amazing. The photo does not do it justice. And I scanned it in a hurry so it is crooked. I have been inspired to turn mine into a double page layout. (Which with any luck will be finished to tonight)

What a successful week

Shoot for the Moon


I have used Frost white ink to stamp the stars in the background. With the Brights Chalks I have colored in the stars. The quote is one of my favourites (I have lots of favourites). I think it works beautifully on this card. Blue organdy ribbon has been used to add a little lightness to the card. The quote has been backed on a piece of Glitz Bazzill Bling.

Yellow Fan Card


This stamp is the Fan trio. This was the first time I stamped it. I was determined to finish it. I have used aquacolor crayons to color the image. It has some gold embossing to finish it off. I know I stamped the image a little off centre. So, no complaints please

Love - Petals of Love


The petals of love stamp set was screaming out to be placed in a flower like pattern. I have used Chalk inks, in Prussian Blue, Blue Iris and Ice Blue. A black and white polka dot brad has been used in the middle to hold all the petals together. This was a little difficult to do, as when the petals are layered together, they become quite thick.

Cherry Blossom Rollergraph


This card is made using the large rollergraph, with the cherry blossom stamp cartridge, and chocolate ancient page ink. Starmist bazzill for the background. Pink Perfect Pearls (from the Pastel Set) is dusted over the perfect medium (applied from a pen).

Cherry Blossoms


For those who know me, you will know that the cherry blossom stamps would have to be at the top of my list, everytime I go for a stamp. The Large cherry blossom, is especially popular, in a lot of the work I have done. This card has been coloured in with the aquacolor crayons. I have inked around the edges using Olive vivid ink. Stickles have been added in the centre of the blossoms for extra dimension.

Masquerade


The second I saw this stamp, in the new catalogue, I knew it would not be long before I owned it. I have only used it a few times. Each time it has looked amazing. It is our Mask Large stamp. I had only seen Phantom of the Opera a few days before making this card. The mask image has been coloured in with chalks. At the end of each flourish, i have added a dollop of Glossy Accent.

Cards to Share





Wow, has it really been that long...... well i have lots to show and tell. I supose the best news is, in the time i have not spent on here, i have had time to create projects to submit to Kaszazz. I have already taken in two and they have been accepted. I am just waiting to see when they will be available for other consultants to use and then i will be able to publish them here. I also have another three on the go - I am just ironing out a few technical details.

This card is one of my favourites. I love how cute this stamp looks. I have used pebbles chalks to colour in the image and smudge around the outside. The flowers have been Magic Mounted.


Hope you like what you see.......

DAY 4 - BLOG WARS DISTRESS WEEK


My favourite creation this week.  I have used the new "Bling Rub Ons"- Elegant Inspiration Bling. Loving these.  My guess is you may see alot of these on my creations in the coming weeks.  Distress Ink - Antique Linen has been to make the background.  I have taken the ink pad and stamped it directly onto the paper.  The butterfly is a two step stamp.  The solid image, has been stamped in the Distress Ink - Antique Linen (the same as the background on the card base).  The butterfly outline stamp has been stamped in the Distress Ink - Fired Brick Red.  The background image, that is stamped behind the 2 Step Butterfly stamp is the Script.  It is stamped in the Distress Ink - Black Soot.   Crimson Bazill and Raven Bazzill have been used to matte behind this stamped image.

Wednesday, March 11, 2009

DAY 3 - BLOG WARS DISTRESS WEEK


Love this.  It is may favourite stamped image - well, at the moment ( I am sure it will change Saturday morning at conference).  Plant is the name of the stamped image.  Here I have used Distress Ink - Tattered Rose, Shabby Shutters and Antique Linen.  White Square card (150x300mm) has been used for the base.  Fawn Bazzill has been used to matte the white stamped strip down the left hand side.  A whale square punch is used to punch out the Plant image in each of the Distress inks.  Each of the squares has been edged with the same ink as the image.  A piece of pale pink organdy has been used to make a bow on the over stamped strip.  The Happy Birthday image is stamped in Antique Linen.

If your are reading this Happy Birthday Paula - Paula is part of my team.  If you want to see what she has been up to, why not visit her blog?  She is thinking of taking part in the blog wars.  I just need to twist her arm a little bit more.

DAY 2 - DISTRESS WEEK


Ok, I have gone and done a mini card for todays challenge.   I am amazed at how cute this heart image is.  I have purchased the 3 step Stamps - Folk Heart Small.  This is just one of the three steps stamps.  I have stamped the image in Distress Ink - Fired Brick Red, and stamped it randomly in a line pattern.  Crimson Bazzill, is used as the line towards the bottom.  I have finished it off with a piece of white organdy ribbon.

BLOG WARS DAY 1 - DISTRESS WEEK

This weeks blog wars is concentrating on Distressing/Distress Inks (one of my favourite products).  

To make the background for this card, I crumpled, carefully the front page.  Flattened it back out as much as possible and then laid it between some heavy books, to make it go back to its original shape.  With the Distress Ink - in Walnut Stain, i rubbed using the pad over the card to hightlight the stressed marks in the card.  Using a piece of Hydra sponge I gently dabbed, Distress Ink - Shabby Shutters, Tattered Rose and Tea Dye.  The Tattered Rose was done extremely gently - as this is a pale pink colour and I did not want it to dominate in anyway.  I just wanted to colour the white card, to make the Tea Dye look a little more aged.  Green Tea Bazzill has been used to highlight/matte the Train image and to make a border down the left handside.  Java Bazzill is down the centre of the Green Tea on the left.  It has also been used to matte the Train image and the Happy Birthday image.  A white gel pen has been used to make the lines in the Java Bazzill on the left and is used again around the border of the Train image.  Finally Copper brads were used to highlight the Happy Birthday Image.  Distress Ink - Walnut stain has been used to ink both the Train and Happy Birthday Images.

Butterflies


I cannot get enough of the butterfly stamp.  It looks great no matter how you stamp it.  Once again, this is just one of those little cards I have been making.  What a simple design?  However, sometimes simpler is better!

LOVE


Towards the end of last year, I have been making little mini gift cards. These little cards have been a great way to test out new techniques, stamps and inks. They are almost the same size as ATC's. The LOVE design has been extremely popular and I have had to change the way I do the design - as they are a little timely to put together and colour in. Here is a simple version of my original design. The Love is from the Love and Cherish set of stamps. It is inked in Coal Black ink along with the hearts from the Calender Icon set. A strip of crimson bazzill is along the front. Stickles have been used to make the dots. Red Gel pen has been used to color in the hearts
