Hi there
Just a quick post tonight. Here are two cards using the Starburst technique and the new Fresh Prints Paper Stack. I think I like the one with the Coastal Cabana as the base.
Hi there
I have just finished organising two team swaps which meant I received a heap of parcels. The ladies at my local Post Office have been wonderful – they know my PO Box number off by heart now :). I wanted to say thank you so what better way than with a card and small gift – including chocolate of course 🙂
After using the Notecard’s the other day I thought I’d use them for this card and it worked a treat. I stamped the image using markers for a more subtle effect and to get the multi colours. I made two of these little boxes using the Envelope Punch Board which each hold three Whittakers mini bars – I think I should get shares in Whittakers with the number of chocolates I buy! My brother is borrowing my small circle punch so I used one of the circles from the Owl Builder punch instead.
Supplies:
Stamp sets – Flowering Flourishes, Label Something
Card Stock – Whisper White
DSP – Sweet Sorbet (SAB)
Markers – Crisp Cantaloupe, Summer Starfruit, Pistachio Pudding
Other – Note Cards, Summer Starfruit Satin Ribbon, 7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch, Envelope Punch Board, Owl Builder Punch
Hi there
Well I thought I wasn’t going to be able to do a blog post today – my computer decided to pack a sad on me and wouldn’t start up! It came up with a ‘memory’ error message but after some help over the phone by my brother – we are back in business 🙂
So without further ado – I wanted a special wedding anniversary card to send to my good friend and bridesmaid for her 8th wedding anniversary.
And here’s the inside of the card
Supplies:
Stamp Set – Flowerful Heart, Memorable Moments
Card Stock – Red Gimmer Paper, Real Red, Whisper White
Ink – Real Red
Other – Hearts Collection Framelits, Adorning Accents Embossing Folder, Owl Builder Punch, Small Heart Punch, Shaker Frames, Window Sheets
Hi there
I hope you’ve been enjoying this beautiful weather – let’s hope it stays around for a bit longer.
Today’s cards were part of the Christmas gift I showed here. The task for January was to choose three cards and finish them off with a sentiment, some ribbon and a rhinestone or two.
These cards are created using the Note Cards & Envelope set on page 162 of the main catalogue. You get 20 cards and envelopes for $11.95. They’re slightly smaller than our standard cards but great for sending a little note to someone. I think I might just have to make some of these up myself for when I need a card quickly.
I’d love to know which one of these is your favourite.
Hi there
I know this is a late post so I’ll be quick. Here is the card I made for our team SAB swap earlier this month.
Supplies:
Stamp Set – Petal Parade, Banner Blast
Card Stock – Baked Brown Sugar, Whisper White
DSP – Sweet Sorbet
Ink – Crisp Cantaloupe, Coastal Cabana, Pistachio Pudding
Other – Banner Punch, 1 1/4″ Circle Punch, Decorative Dots Embossing Folder, Coastal Cabana Ruffled Ribbon, Silver Mini Brad
Hi there
Stampin’ Up! have just released a new tool 🙂 It’s the Texture Boutique Embossing Machine.
It’s embossing made easy. The Texture Boutique is the perfect, portable tool to create embossed cards, tags, embellishments and more. Use it with our Stampin’ Up! exclusive Textured Impressions Embossing Folders. This portable machine only embosses – it does not cut. It comes with two plates and a shim. This is a great tool to have if you love to emboss. If you would like to purchase one of these at only $59.95 please email me. There are only a limited number available at the moment – so once those sell out you’ll have to wait until the new annual catalogue comes out in July.
Hi there
I’ve had one of these styles of diaries for a couple of years and always meant to cover it but never got round to doing it – that is until now.
I have really fallen in love with the Kaleidoscope Suite of products in the new Occasions catalogue. I especially love the bright colours of the DSP. The base of the cover is Crushed Curry and I’ve cut four Hexagon Hive’s out of Basic Black and matted them on top of a sheet of DSP. I then ran the thinlits die through the Big Shot with scraps of Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay and Strawberry Slush to give me hexagons to mat on top of the solid black bits.
To differentiate the front from the back I stamped “2 0 1 4” on scraps of Whisper White and ran them through the Big Shot with the die (strategically placed!). The Hexagon Punch is the perfect size to create a mat for the numbers to sit on.
On the back I left some of the hexagons black.
Supplies:
Stamp Set – Memorable Moments
Card Stock – Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay, Strawberry Slush, Basic Black, Whisper White
DSP – Kaleidoscope
Ink – Bermuda Bay
Other – Hexagon Hive Thinlit Die, Hexagon Punch
Have a great evening.
Hi there
SaleABration is finally here 🙂
Hi there
Well I’ve had a very productive crafting weekend – I’ve made 4 tissue box covers (with one more just needing some final touches), 23 cards for a team swap, 5 cards and a 3D item! I’ll be showing you these over the coming week.
Here are the last two tissue boxes for the girls at work:
Hi there
As predicted I needed to make more tissue box covers for the girls at work. Here are the first two.
Rather than decorate the top of the box I covered it with DSP. I love the colours in this paper range – Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, So Saffron, Tangerine Tango and Very Vanilla.
I’ll be back tomorrow with another two boxes!
Hi there
I hope you enjoyed our Blog Hop yesterday – weren’t there some amazing creations. I really enjoyed being part of it – thank you to those who left me comments 🙂
Today I’m using the Hexagon Hive and all the ‘off cuts’ that it creates. I’ve been saving all the bits from previous cut outs as they come in handy. You may want to find a container or two to keep these yourself.
And for a bit of colour I used the smaller pieces along the bottom.
Supplies:
Stamp Set – Bring on the Cake
Card Stock – Calypso Coral, Crisp Cantaloupe, Summer Starfruit, Pool Pary, Naturals White
Ink – Calypso Coral
DSP – Sweet Sorbet
Other – Apothecary Accents, Hexagon Hive, Dimensionals
Hi there
And welcome to the ESAD Sale-A-Bration Blog Hop. You may have arrived from Andrea’s blog or just joined my page. This is my first time participating in a bloghop 🙂
Now on with my project. One of the girls I work with admired my tissue box holder on my desk so I decided to make her one – and just kept going with some other accessories for her desk! I’ve used the Sweet Sorbet DSP as my base for all the projects
Last but not least is a Post-It Note holder – now you’ll never loose them on your desk. The front has been decorated using the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder, Petal Parade and more bling.
My friend was very pleased with her gifts and hopes that the other staff are jealous! I think I may be making more of these sets.

Hi there
One of the guys I used to work with is retiring at the end of this month. I contacted my previous boss and said I’d like to make the leaving card (I used to make all the cards for my previous company) and this is what I created – it’s like a mini album.
Happy retirement John
HI there
This post may take me a while to type as I have a furry helper sitting on my lap who is wanting attention and tickles every couple of seconds.
Catch you back soon with another creation.
