Hi everyone, sharing a design I cased from Angela Maine on my card today.   I have used Stampin' Up! products which created a different look to the card, but the actual design and layout I cased from Angela.

The flowers from the 'Grateful Bunch' stamp set were stamped with Early Espresso and coloured using Peekaboo Peach and the Clear Wink of Stella pen (in case you had not noticed I love the finished look of the Wink of Stella pen).  The flowers were then punched out using Blossoms Bunch punch.  The leaf and stem image was stamped with Always Artichoke and again coloured using the Clear Wink of Stella pen.

I used the Seasonal Decorative Mask (these are still available on the Year-End Closeouts specials for $7.00 AUD, but only until 3 January 2017) along with some texture paste for the background.  I also used the Flourish Thinlits dies and the Layering Circles and Stitched Shaped Framelits.    The Thank You sentiment is from the stamp set 'Flourishing Phrases"

Purse Notebook

Hi everyone, wishing you a belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  I had a great Christmas Day with my brothers, sister-in-law and nephews having lunch together before we went and spent the afternoon with Mum at the Nursing Home.  It was a delight to see her face light up when we all trooped in with our presents and then giving her all the hugs and kisses.  We had a terrific time with her sharing a lot of laughter and just catching up.  It was good to see Mum still had her sense of humour.  She received a box of chocolates as one of her presents and after opening them she said "Now I suppose you want to help me eat them".  My nephews had a few, but we left most of them for her to enjoy.

Now to today's post.  I was recently given this cute little post-it note holder with a calendar for my purse by a good friend.  You know when you are trying to find something to write-on and you cannot find even a scrap of paper.

I thought that this is a terrific idea, but I am not sure if you are like me and you can also never find a pen either.  So I stepped up the design slightly and added a mini gel pen, now set and ready to go. I will be using the one that I was given at home as I also have the same problem of never being able to find anything to write-on when I need to jot something down, especially when I am on the phone and need to take down a phone number, date or other information.

For the covers I used the cardboard from the Designer Series Paper stacks and I also tried the cardboard from the Foil Sheet packs as this was slightly thicker.  I liked the finished looked using the cardboard from the Designer Series Paper stacks, but both worked out okay.

I have used a small disc magnet for the closure on my design as it was easier to open and shut.  The stamp set used is 'Flourishing Phrases' and I also used the coordinating 'Flourish' Thinlits to create the small flower on the inside.  I used the Stitched Shapes Framelits and the Layering Circles Framelits for the 'Just a Note' sentiment on the front cover of the holder.  The patterned paper is from the 'Blooms and Bliss' Designer Series Paper.

The ladies that attend my regular fortnightly classes will be making this in January.  After this time I will post the measurements and how it was put together.

Falling Flowers

Hi everyone, I am playing along this week with Freshly Made Sketches.  

For my card I have used the Falling Flowers, Gorgeous Grunge and Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp sets along with Layering Circles, Stitched Shapes and May Flowers Framelits dies.

The flowers were water coloured with Sweet Sugarplum and Pink Pirouette for the petals and the flower centres coloured with Daffodil Delight and Delightful Dijon with the leaves cut from Pear Pizzazz cardstock.  Some Black Metallic Thread was added behind the circle and some Fancy Frost Sequins added to finish.

Silver Christmas

Hi everyone, I have been playing around designing some Christmas cards.  Can you believe it, it is nearly the 'Merry Season' again!

The circle window was made using the Layering Circles Framelits and Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate with the pine cone spray being made using the new Pretty Pines Thinlits available in the new Holiday catalogue.

I love the classic look of Whisper White and Silver, it gives a beautiful crisp clean finish.  I actually started out to make a shaker card and ended up with a finished project which was nothing like I imagined when I started.  But during the creating process I got side tracked and ended up make a card with the acetate window.
