Suprise in a can

Making Little Mouse a present for her birthday the present is a beading kit I went to Ruby Tuesday and collected pink beads and got some memory wire for the kit. What I needed was something to put it in so I have gone for the present in a tin option.

To do this you need a pull top tin which I have emptied and decorated in pink (Little Mouses favorite colour) I have included some pics as I think its a great way to package up Jewels.

Recipe

Spotlight on Pocket Silhouettes

2010-09-11T00:37:00.000-07:00

Finally got onto making some bunting and getting some photos of the end product. This is Stampin' Up! without the paper!! I have also attempted a cover for an electric tea light (improved one on the way) For the bunting you can use ribbon to hold the bunting together or use rope which is more sturdy and what I used.

Recipe
Accessories: Ribbon, fabric, Pennant Bigz xl Die.

With the Pennant you could also make little flags or use it as a quilting appliqué shape.

Birds on the Fence

2010-07-01T04:05:00.000-07:00

I actually made this for Louise a recent arrival to the world. I used a few different techniques to get this looking just right. I am as with all things on this blog able to demonstrate how this is made in a workshop.

catterpilar in the Garden but its the grasshoppers that ate my plants!

2010-06-19T23:27:00.000-07:00

my son digs bugs and well he gets it from me in my 20's I spent alot of time looking at them under a microscope and well I still dig them and show him stuff all the time. Anyway I did another bug card using punches and two different stamp sets I'm thinking of turning this idea into a class for the kids cos it really easy to do!

Garden Whimsy

2010-06-11T04:02:00.000-07:00

Garden Whimsy is one of the stamp sets that I consider a must I think its rather versatile as you can do lots with it as shown in this post. I really really like the snail and always try to put it in. Garden whimsy is particularly suited to stamp writes and using glitter as it is a block stamp and not so suited to water colouring for the exact same reason.

I love Christmas mainly because its my Birthday and Christmas means we all get to eat way too much and spend time with family who I love. Any way here is a Christmas card I have made for a Christmas in July event I am participating in.

I have used two stamp sets in this, the trick is to tip the tree on its side and stamp so it kind of looks like a Christmas tree.

Card Stock: Whisper White, Old Olive.
Ink: Old Olive, Pacific Point, Tempting Turquoise, Brocade Blue, Riding-Hood Red.

2010-05-08T04:08:00.001-07:00

So I have joined in a Swap and this is my first Creation I used LIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT and I thought something nice and simple was appropriate. I tried to make it a bit different from the ones I had seen on the net I hope It worked!

I would also try the white panel as a way to spruce up a plain scrap page as it looked great in an A4 page with the pattern stamped all over it.

In all I made ten of these so to make it a little easier I stamped A4 sheets then cut the patterns out. I had some of the patterned paper left over so I put these into three smaller panels instead of the one big panel in the middle it was rather effective.

The white ribbon is simply pinched together Its an idea I got from another swap card I got and I just had to try it, it rather looks better with bigger ribbon. The only thing I found that worked to stick the ribbon down was the Sticky Strip from Stampin' up!

Recipe
Inks: Riding Hood Red, Basic Black
Card stock: Riding Hood Red, Basic Black, Whisper White
Stamp set: Live Like You Mean It
Other stuff: Scallop oval punch, oval punch Whisper White Ribbon

2010-04-13T19:28:00.000-07:00

With excitement and sadness all at the same time I have some news. There is going to be a spruce up of colours in the Stampin' Up! range. I have included pics (on the edge bit) of what the new colour families will look like and also the ones that will be (sniff and a sad face) leaving us. Please leave comments about what you think of the colour changes I am looking forlornly at all my fave pinks and Purples leaving.

Stamp Club

2010-04-11T07:01:00.001-07:00

Hi all

Well had a fab Stamp Club and here are some of the pictures. There were two kids and I thought they did a great job. I like the idea of letting people do it there way and getting their creative juices flowing hence why there are lots of different designs.

Stamp a Stack

2010-04-06T23:27:00.000-07:00

Stamp a stack is a class running at Posh Box, these are some of the cards we will be making in the class on Saturday.

Loads of Love

2010-03-27T17:49:00.000-07:00

This is a card I don't overly like but I am putting it up and will be puting an improved version

when I do it. This was the first attempt at this stamp set and I really like how I have compleated the stamp, what I dislike is the way I did the ribbon and the really dark background. To colour in the car I used a blender pen and write and stamp pens. The trafic lights are simply the small circle punch in three colours.

Recipe

Stamp Sets: Loads of Love

Inks:Real Red, Going Grey, Brilliant Blue, Basic Black

Card Stock: Real Red, Gable Green, Only Orange, Basic Black, Whisper White

Accessories: Real Red Gross Grain Ribbon

, 1/2 inch Circle Punch.

The Below card is a revise of what I did above in a chicky colouring. I prefer this one!!

Eastern Blooms Birthday Card

2010-03-27T03:51:00.000-07:00

My brothers lass who is really nice had a birthday and I made her a card but have forgotten to give it to her so here it is Georgie enjoy!

I used eastern blooms for this card the stamp set is really versatile and I have used it ALLOT.

the border around the edge I did by hand and a ruler I used the write pens to ink the background flower stem.

I really like this card and will be selling it at my next market stall.

Flying the Country

2010-03-27T01:13:00.000-07:00

Back from Sunny Melbourne and back to my old life rather missing the shopping and coffee but I guess you can't have it all. The Summer mini is on its last legs before it is superseded by the Autumn-Winter mini and I have a small preview for you all. I have used the new Two Step Bird punch and have tried a few different ideas some did not work and others I loved and have turned them into swaps and will be demoing them in my next classes at Posh Box where we will be doing a card stack three cards twice over in all six cards. Over all I was happy with the results.

Recipe
Stamp sets: Priceless
Card Stock Mellow Moss, Rose Red, Very Vanilla, Chocolate chip
Inks Mellow Moss, Rose Red, Chocolate chip
Accessories Rose Red Gross Grain Ribbon, Two Step Bird Punch.

In this card I have distressed the bottom edge of the Very Vanilla and inked it in Mellow moss as well as stamping the big swirl on the chocolate chip and Vanilla card stock. The Rose Red ribbon was simply knotted but you could also swallow tail the ends.

Chips of the Couch yum

2010-02-11T05:17:00.000-08:00

trying out the concept of the birthday card. I'm not a birthday card person I spend alot of time and thought process on the present and forget the bloody card. I wont be doing a Recipie for it as I am really really time poor at the moment and want to eat Potato Chips with my hubby on the Couch. Enjoy the pics :-)
ps this will be in the stamp stack

Eating the Rooster

2010-01-29T03:51:00.000-08:00

This is my all time favorite stamp set and yesterday my son went to it with his teeth and allot of determination. He ripped the whole set apart rubber, foam pads and the wood blocks have teeth marks. Overall the result was an unimpressed mum and a smiling baby boy. I stuck it all back together and this is what I produced

Bad week so lets make cards

2010-01-28T05:41:00.000-08:00

I had a bad week there are lots of reasons why but basically it comes down to my darling husband being out of town. So to remedy all the crap I decided to make cards. Worked a treat!!

First Cards I made I was trying out the ripped flower technique. I'm not sure if this is how you do it but I had a shot and liked what I did. I have read that the basics are that you rip then wet then shape I forgot to wet! I think that brown card needs more mainly it needs a background stamp on the blue and brown maybe baroque mofits stamp would look nice?

The second Card is again trying the flower but with different colours and using ribbon I think I like the brown flower more but the design of the second I will have to try it. the pink card is sideways and every time I have tried to upload it the right way it ends up like this.
Enjoy

So I used the Good Neighbors Stamp set sold from the Sale-a-bration Catalogs. Unfortunately I don't have any great pic's of our home so I went with AT: Babies first time raising his head HOME: the floor and our babies first Crawling attempt WITH: His musical Prowess and WILLS: just some random pics that we love. The house roofs look great in Glitter (I love glitter). The words were hand written with 2 way glue and glittered up using the glue emboss method which was written in the dodgy capitals to give it an homely feel. all the pages have had a design stamped on the weather it be the houses trees or clouds unfortunatly my ability with the camera is not great.

Gardeners Woe

2010-01-23T00:35:00.000-08:00

My garden is looking really crap at the moment mainly because it is so hot here (North WA will do that to you) so I did this thinking of what my garden will look like one day which is not brown except for the patches that are meant to be ie wood and um rocks....... I thought I had lost the link to where I got this from but I just found it (thanks to Wills and his tantrum)www.funpapercandy.com it is so easy and great and took me all of 1/2 hour after I found my papers (that took around 2 hours).

PROJECT , RECIPE- Gardeners Woe

Ink- Black
Stamp Set(s)- Organic Grace
Card stock- Rose Red, Chocolate Chip, Melow Moss, Raspberry Tart
Accessories- snail, Bone Scorer, border punch, Brad, Scissors

I used the Organic grace dragon fly stamp on the green papers and then cut out around them, I think that stamp makes the best embelishments!!

The brad was used as the door handle but I think some tafeta ribbon would also look lovely as a put tab to get the little drawer open.

BTW the little stand up bit does lie flat which is how you would present it when giving it to someone.

Book that mark baby!

2010-01-14T19:40:00.000-08:00

I had a Mate come around for a scrap session and she ended up making a Bookmark, the idea came from my wonderful mother-in-law who found it in Spotlight. My mate made this while I was writing another mates job application (Which I think I'm good at). I would like to make this for one of my workshops and I think it would work as a kids party activity.

PROJECT , RECIPE- Book that Mark Baby

Ink- Black ,

Stamp Set(s)- Priceless
Card stock- Rose Red
Accessories- square punch, double rectangle punch, Chocolate Chip gross grain ribbon, Red Grosgrain ribbon, scissors

What to do

1 Use square punch to punch two square paper tabs in the Rose Red card stock.

2 Cut book mark Ribbon to desired length leaving one end flat and the other with the swallow tail cut.

3 Using tacky double sided tape or good glue, glue the ribbon between the two tabs lining the tabs up so they match.

4 This is the tough bit using the Double Rectangle punch, punch out the wholes in the middle of the tabs I used Scissors to then fix the holes as the punch does not like going through so many layers.

5 Thread a short Piece of ribbon through both holes, cross both ends at the back so the front has the ribbon ends. Trim ribbon ends

4 Rubber stamp little flower on the front

5 Something different you can use satin ribbon and put transfers on the ribbon :-)

Enjoy to your stampin hearts content.

Pinky and the Brain

2010-01-06T03:56:00.000-08:00

Joy to the world 09 is over and I hope it never hits me in the face again!! I had a great year with the Birth of my wonderful Xan Xan. The year of 09 also included Taxes, Birthdays, laughter, and too many Deaths which brought the tears. In all not my typical year.

On a nicer note I finally started to get my Stamping mojo back and have compleated a few cards recently and its all about pink! pink! pink!.

PROJECT , RECIPE Pink! Pink! Pink!
-Ink: Real red, Pretty in Pink

Stamp set- Flight of the Butterfly
Card stock- Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose.
Accessories- snail, Bone Scorer, Crystal Effectsm Raspberry Tart scrapbooking paper,
Punches: double Rectangle, 3.2 and 3.5cm Square, Butterfly (Summer minni)

I mainly tried this out as I wanted to use the Raspberry tart papers and crystal effects out.

It's all a bit sad at the moment with the death of a truly gentle, kind, wonderful person so I have not been in the stamp mood but I did drag myself to do this card-let I thought I could use as a sympathy card.

sadly stampin jules :-(
ps yet to identify how to change photos

Merry Christmas Ruth

2009-12-22T05:08:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas Ruth!

This card is for you and you will be getting it in the future when I get Drew to write in it. It is made with love and me trying out a new technique ripping paper (which is completely against my nature 'Ripping paper' baarrr). I really struggled with how to make it up without the ripped paper looking plain so I opted with the pattern on the green paper and the Holiday greeting.

Ripping paper seems to have a bit of a technique to it. I found if you use too much of an angle you get too much of a ripped area (hmm does that make sense). I have included a Recipe for this card.

PROJECT , RECIPE- Merry Christmas Ruth
Ink- Black , Real Red, Glorious Green, Sage shadow

Stamp Set(s)- Tree Trimmings, Sincere Salutations, Lovely As A Tree, Priceless

Card stock- Whisper White, Glorious Green, Real Red

Accessories- snail, Bone Scorer,

and when I figure how to turn photos then they will be up the right way.

PS thanks Kylie for the idea I got it from your fabulous card you made me for my Birthday. And Ruth Thank you for your great Card as well I love it but will it be OK if I take the front bit off and put it in a frame for every one to see.

How much do you love me??

2009-12-19T05:06:00.001-08:00

This is from the summer Minni catty, I love it personally but I get the feeling not every one gets it. Its the like-o-meter and your able to indicate to the recipient how much you like them with a range of witty frases such as 'like like you', like a stalker', 'I'd marry you again' to my personal favourite and one I dont think I would ever use 'i'm over you'.
these cards like all of mine are simple as shown by the Recipe

PROJECT , RECIPE- How much do you love me?

Ink- Black , Real red,
Stamp set- like-o-meter, Sincere Salutations
Card stock- Whisper White
Accessories- snail, Bone Scorer, 2 way glue, glitter.
Stampin' writes: Real Red.

I used the stampin' Writes to fill in the meter then put 2 way glue over the red and added fine glitter. :-) there is still glitter in my babies hair from when I made the card and had to attend her after.

Tailgating a Cyclone

2009-12-19T04:23:00.000-08:00

Port Headland rocked ( I never thought I would say that), I did a massive power shop spent lots of money and got most of the Christmas Presents I needed to0. my kids will do well this year off of Santa! And I even missed the rain from the Cyclone.

I Just got the Tailgating stampin' around wheel and these are the mini cards I produced I really like the whole set of these stamps but have yet to get the other two that go with the wheel. They are Loads of Love, Loads of love Accessories, and Time for a Tree stampin around wheel.
PROJECT , RECIPE- Tailgating Notelet set

Ink- Black , Real red, Glorious Green, Green Galore, Pixi Pink
Stamp set- Tailgaiting stamp around, Sincere Salutations
Card stock- Whisper White
Accessories- snail, Bone Scorer, slit punch, blender pens, eyelet border punch.
Stampin' writes: Real Red.

to make the latch on the box I used the slit punch in opposite directions. It is very effective but fiddly to get the right distance between the two. Too little and they dont meet too far and they don't stay together and the lid comes off.

I like the beat up look of the car, it reminds me of my Ute back home in Melboure.

2009-12-09T03:14:00.000-08:00

So I just got Rustic Rooster stamp set and I love it for two reasons, One it has the best rooster and I have had chickens for years and it looks just like kevin the rooster and Two I love the written scrall that comes with it. I made up two cards last night and they both look great I gave one to my brother for christmas and the other I am keeping and have got a pic of. I lifted the rooster by using crystal effects, the blue sky I used pastels the green was water colour yay!!

OK so not many people turned up to my very first Stampin' up! event of the 20 or so people I invited two made might have had something to do with people not living in the town. On the plus side (I always look on the plus side) the quilters group was at the same venue so I had a few drop on in and put orders in as well. In all I had allot of fun above is the pic of one of the items I made.

Materials (All Stampin up)

Whisper White, and Real Red card stock

Real Red grosgrain ribbon,

The stamp set came from the spring mini 09

Ink pad Real Red

Stampin' write Glorious Green

2 way glue

Glitter

the trick with this card is to do the red Baubles first and the green string last otherwise the baubles may not fit on the card. A stamp-a-majig would also have come in handy to get the string and baubles to line up.

Want to re-make this card contact me and I will send you a how too :-)
