Cute Halloween

Hi everyone, what do you do when you order a Designer Series Paper pack in error? I am not sure how I did this, but I somehow managed to order the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper Pack.  As I live in Perth, Western Australia, Australia I do not do Halloween so I had to work out how to use this paper. 

This is one of the projects I came up with.  I will be sharing another one next Tuesday that I made for our club swap.

The sentiment is from the A Wish for Everything stamp set.  I stamped the image and then cut it into strips, cutting out the words Trick or Treating, so I turned it into a card that can be used for any occasion.  I was thinking along the lines of a birthday card.

Hope you like this little project.

Just Add Ink Challenge #500 - Just Add a Die Cut Word

Hi everyone, I am playing along this week with the challenge at Just Add Ink - 'Just Add a Die Cut Word'.

I have used the 'A Wish for Everything' stamp set and the 'Word Wishes Dies' to cut the word Happy.  I layered 3 die cuts together to give more dimension to the die cut.

The Tulip flowers were made by stamping the large Tulip image from the 'Timeless Tulips' stamp set with Terracotta Tile ink on Whisper White cardstock and punched out with the Tulip Builder Punch. 

The other flowers were made by stamping the flower image from the 'Floral Essence' twice of one flower using Petal Pink ink  on Whisper White cardstock and punched out with the Perennial Flower Punch.  The two pieces were layered together to form one flower and a Gold Faceted Gem was added for the flower centre.

The leaves were stamped on Old Olive cardstock using Old Olive ink.  The leaf images were from the same stamp sets and punched out using the Tulip Builder Punch and the Leaf Punch.  A few Gold Glimmer Paper Sprigs were added for a little bit of bling along with some Gold Glitter Enamel Dots.  

The background was embossed using the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder.

Thank you for visiting.

Just Add Ink Challenge #500 - Just Add a Die Cut Word

Fun little Easter Baskets

Hi everyone, sharing a fun little Easter Basket.

The Designer Series Paper is from the Best Dressed 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper pack.  The little flowers were made using the Small Bloom Punch and the Leaf Punch with some Rhinestones added for the flower centres.

You can get the Small Bloom Punch as part of the Sale-A-Bration promotion if you spend $180 AUD.  

The 'Happy Easter' is from the A Wish for Everything stamp set.

To make these little baskets you will need:

Measurements

5 ¼” x 5 ¼” cardstock for basket

¾” x 5 ¼” cardstock for handle

½” x 5 ¼” Designer Series Paper for handle

4 pieces 1 ½” x 1 ½” Designer Series Paper for basket

Cardstock scraps for the flowers and leaves

Whisper White cardstock for the sentiment circle

Mossy Meadow cardstock for the scallop circle
Tear and Tape

Technique

1.       Score the 5 ¼” x 5 ¼” piece of cardstock at 1 ¾” all four         sides.

2.       Snip on the score lines as per diagram below

3.       Adhere the Designer Series Paper to the four corner squares.

4.      Fold the centre panel up and adhere the two corner squares on the diagonal to the centre panel so that the top corner of the squares meet.  They will overlap each other.  Do this for both sides.  The picture below shows what it should look like.

5.       Adhere the Designer Series Paper piece for the handle to the cardstock piece and then curl this handle slightly using the bone folder.

6.       Adhere the handle in place, the handle should sit on top of the inside panel, this is about 1cm from the top of the basket.  See picture below that shows the position.

Fun little Easter Baskets

Butterflies ...

Hi everyone, sharing one of the cards the ladies will be making in today's class.  The Baby Wipe Background I cased from Courtney Reisig using the Beauty Abounds stamp set.

I used the colours Blackberry Bliss, Pretty Peacock and Grapefruit Grove on the baby wipe technique background.   This is a fun technique and a great way to create backgrounds for your cards.  You could use any colour combination.

For the centre panel I cut one large Pretty Peacock, one small Pretty Peacock and one small Whisper White Stitched Nested Label.  I cut the small Pretty Peacock label in half and layered it behind the large Pretty Peacock label using dimensionals. 

The butterflies are stamped using Blackberry Bliss ink and punched using the Butterfly Duet Punch.  The butterfly image is from the Butterfly Wishes stamp set.
