Hi there Yesterday was my MIL’s birthday and here is the card I made her. It’s another recreation of the card that Kristine taught over at Crafters Anonymous. This is such a cool card to make (& give) for a gift voucher. Card & voucher were well received this morning at breakfast. Supplies: Stamp –… Read More »
Hi there Well it’s been a few weeks since I felt like doing any challenges and this weeks challenge over at Try Stampin on Tuesday is a good one to come back to. My good friend Tracey Old and her family visited us on Easter Monday and she showed me her card for this challenge. I felt inspired so… Read More »
Hi there Wow – I hadn’t realised it was so long since I’d blogged. I am still feeling tired and don’t seem to have much energy – I wish these iron tablets would kick in. I did however manage to do some creating over the weekend. I make all the birthday gifts for staff at… Read More »
Hi there Yesterday was my good friend Deb’s birthday. It was a special birthday as you will see from the cards below. The first card is the one I gave her and the second is the card I made for her husband to give her. Deb is also a card maker and her husband Dave… Read More »
Hi there This week’s challenge over at Just Add Ink was to ‘Just Add Beaches’. I don’t have any beach themed stamps so pulled out my trusty set Crab & Company. Now I know this set has been retired for awhile but I will never part with it. I think it’s great for all ages and has… Read More »
Hi there When I saw this weeks sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches I thought I’d try something different with it. Instead of it being a flat card front I’ve made it that the right hand piece opens out (once you take the band off). I cut a slot in the DSP then slotted the Whisper White… Read More »
Hi there I’m sitting here eating my salad (still trying to think it’s summer) but I should be eating something warm as I’m feeling cold – never mind. The challenge this week at JAI is to CASE Nikki Spencer. I checked her entire blog and picked about 6 I’d like to CASE but have narrowed it down to… Read More »
Hi there Well I’ve had a busy crafting weekend but you’ll have to wait a bit to see all my creations :). Next weekend I’m away on a demo stamp camp so I’ve been preparing my swaps. I did however make time this afternoon to play along at this weeks challenge for TST. I will be… Read More »
Hi Over at the NZSU blog I gave everyone a challenge – to use the big shot for a card or 3D project. So I thought I’d better enter it myself! I make the birthday gifts for all the staff at work and this year I am making a variety of boxes and filling them with chocolates… Read More »
Hi there The weather here in Auckland can not make up it’s mind what season it should be. It’s meant to be summer but was raining AGAIN this morning. So what else can a girl do but make a card 🙂 Today’s card is for a very good family friend who is celebrating his birthday… Read More »
Hi there This card combines two challenges from Stamping 411 – the sketch is from the weekly challenge and the colour combo is from the monthly challenge. Rather than use DSP for the background I randomly stamped the images from one of my favourite sets. This is a great set for guys and has so many uses.Supplies:Stamp… Read More »
Hi there Try Stampin on Tuesday has just turned one! Congratulations to CherylAnn and the amazing team of designers who have given us great sketches for the past year. In addition to this weeks sketch the challenge is to include a birthday theme. This worked well as I needed a masculine birthday card for tomorrow.… Read More »
Hi there This week at Just Add Ink the challenge was to Just Add Kathy Tanner. I had never seen Kathy’s blog so my first task was to check it out – Kathy’s blog is now on my list :). After checking through her posts for 2011, I had a list of favourites then I had to narrow… Read More »
Hi This is a quick post before I head off to bed. I needed to create a quick masculine card and these two challenges have worked well together – layout from Mojo Monday and the colour combo from ColourQ. I rotated the layout to fit the stamp I wanted to use 🙂 My squares are 1 1/2″. Supplies:… Read More »
Hi there We have just returned from a fabulous long weekend spent down at Whakatane, Bay of Plenty -more on that later. Before we left I started making this card but ran out of time on Wednesday night with all the other things that needed to be done before heading away. So my first priority… Read More »
