Magnolia Down Under Challenge

  • January 30, 2011 at 5:46 pm

Hello,

It is a stinking hot 40 degrees celcius (104 Fahrenheiht) today.  Too hot to do anything but stay inside & craft :) .

Today I have made a card to enter into the Magnolia Down Under Challenge - Emboss.  I have stamped the Tilda image a number of times cutting out each area and layering to give a
3D effect.  This not that unsimilar to a card I made a week ago.  It takes a lot of time to do this card and trust me, a number of times I questioned ‘why the hell am I doing this?’ :)

     

Stamp – Tilda with Rose
Cardstock – SU
Ink – SU
Embossing Folder – Cuttlebug.
Dimensionals – SU

5th Birthday

  • January 28, 2011 at 10:51 pm

It is my mini man, Luke, 5th Birthday comming up soon.  I have made him a robot card using an image from Tiddlyinks.   It is hard to believe he is turning 5 already.  Thankfully he still has that babyish voice.  I will be devestated when that goes.  A true sign he is not little anymore :(

 I am entering this card into My Time to Craft weekly challange that required some sort of embossing.  I have used a cuttlebug embossing folder.

One Tequila…

  • January 28, 2011 at 2:48 pm

Hello All,

My friend Marj is turning 40 and this Ruby digi-stamp from Bugaboo is perfect for the occassion :) .

I used this sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday to make this card.

It is one of those cards that worked better in my head than it did in real life :(

The Tree of Loooove.

  • January 27, 2011 at 9:38 pm

I have been trying lately to incorporate beading into cardmaking.  Most of them have looked quite ‘Shite’ so they are not going to find their way onto my blog.  But one I have made is passable.

I have used;  heart beads which I bought of ebay, jewellers wire,  Stampin’ Up! Cardstock and  Delish Rub-on.

Winter Whites

  • January 25, 2011 at 7:14 pm

This weeks challange at Bugaboo Stamps is Winter Whites.  It is a tease doing ‘winter whites’ in the middle of an Australian summer while it is stinking hot and muggy :) .

Here is my take on the challange.

        

I printed off Puppy Love – Wag Tail a few times.  Cut out the different sections.  Flip it over so the stamped image was not showing.  Then slightly rolled the edges of each piece to give it some dimension.  Next I layered each piece down using dimensions to give a 3D effect.

Cardstock – ?
Embossing Folder – Cuttlebug Swiss Dots.
Digi Stamp – Bugaboo.
Glitter Glue – Kindi Glitz.
Dimensionals – SU.

Bugaboo Final Challange – Anything Goes.

  • January 22, 2011 at 9:27 am

Hello,

Well this is my final entry for the Bugaboo 1st Birthday Challange.   I have chosen to go with the theme ‘CRAFT PARTY’.  I have always wanted to do a craft party where I invite a couple of friends over and we craft, chat & eat!
The Bugaboo Stamp image I have used is Sew Sun Button.  


Here is the table layout with place markers, invites, kitbags and a lollie triange.

Triangle Box filled with lots of lollies.  Click HERE  on how to make this box.


Place Markers.


Kit Bag.

I had lots of fun making this Craft Party set.  But now, alas I have to clean the house after it has been severely neglected after a week of crafting for the Bugaboo 1st Birthday Challange. 
A big thankyou to Bugaboo for getting me out of my ‘Mojo No- Show’ :) .

A bit of Bling

  • January 20, 2011 at 8:39 pm

This my third post for the day and is challange number 2 for Bugaboo Stamps Birthday Challange.

We were given a freebie digital  clown stamp which we were required to use on the card.   We also needed to add in some bling.  Here is my design.
