I’m finally here with something I can share with you. I haven’t been doing a lot of crafting of late but what I have done I can’t share as it’s for Secret Sister swaps, so will have to wait till January after the December reveal. Apart from these swaps, I’ve just been busy with life and preparing for our trip to Fiji in a few weeks. We are all getting excited now. Still lots to do and lots of other things happening between then and now though but I do hope to start getting back a bit more often.

So on to the cards.

This months techniques were ‘Kissing’ and ‘Rock ‘N’ Roll’.

This is the card we made using the ‘Kissing’ Technique.

Supplies:
Stamp sets: Ornate Blossom, A to Z, Teeny Tiny Sentiments.
Card: Pear Pizzazz, Pumpkin Pie, Very Vanilla, Greenhouse Gala DSP.
Inks: Stampin’ Write Markers – Pear Pizzazz, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie & Baja Breeze, Veramark inkpad.
Accessories: Pear Pizzazz Ribbon, Word Window Punch, Circle Scissor Plus.

For the Rock ‘N’ Roll card I created a Pocket card which was demonstrated at our Regional Training Day last Saturday.

This is a really quick card to make. The colours are from the new Colour Coach.

Supplies:
Stamp sets: Eastern Blooms, Occasional Quotes.
Card: Perfect Plum, Very Vanilla, Rose Red DSP – Subtles Prints Stack.
Inks: Marina Mist, Rose Red, Perfect Plum.
Accessories: Marina Mist Taffeta ribbon, Modern Label Punch, sponge dauber.

Till next time…..

October Technique Class Cards

Cards

These are the 2 cards we made during my October Technique Class.

The card on the left is done using the Baby Swipe Technique and the card on the right is a Catty CASE using the Colour Spritzer Tool.

Here’s a close up of both cards.

The Baby Swipe technique resembles brayering but all you need is a Baby Wipe and some reinkers on gloss cardstock.

The Colour Spritzer Tool is a wonderful tool which I admit I don’t use enough. It’s great for adding a bit of ‘texture’ to you card especially where there is a lot of ‘blank space’.

After I made the Baby Swipe card I thought some embossed butterflies would like nice only to realise that I hadn’t yet purchased the Beautiful Wings embosslits die. I have now corrected that and made the alteration to the original card.

What do you think?? With or without? Or do you like both?

Baby Swipe Card Supplies:
Stamp sets: Inspired by Nature, Elements of Style
Card: White Gloss, Basic Black, Tangerine Tango, So Saffron
Inks: Stazon Black, More Mustard inkpads, Reinkers – So Saffron, More Mostard, Tangerine Tango
Accessories: Basic Black 1/4” grosgrain ribbon, Large Oval & Scallop Oval Punches, Sponge Dauber, Baby Wipe, Optional extra – Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die

Colour Spritzer Card Supplies:

Card: Soft Suede, Old Olive, Very Vanilla
Inks: Crumb Cake inkpad, Crumb Cake & Old Olive Stampin’ Write Markers

Till next time….

 

Elegant Soiree Tissue Box & Card update

3D Items

I recently posted pictures of the Tissue Box cover I’d made as a gift and am finally back to show you the matching card that goes with it. The main image used on this card I initially intended on using on the Tissue Box cover but it turned out to be too large. I’ve used the ‘Awash with Flowers’ Stamp set.

This is the complete gift. Handmade part that is.

A closer look at the full card and inside.

I’m really happy with how this all turned out and I’m sure the recipient will love it too.

Supplies:
Stamp sets: Awash with Flowers, Occassional Greetings (Hostess Level 3 set)
Card: Soft Suede, Baja Breeze, Very Vanilla, Elegant Soiree DSP
Inks: Baja Breeze, Soft Suede, Basic Gray
Accessories: Scallop Edge Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Large Oval Punch, Very Vanilla Satin ribbon, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Sponge Dauber, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Nestabilities (non-SU)

Till next time….
