All Geared Up to Celebrate

Posted on September 20, 2019 by sharon

My eldest daughter started high school this year and has made some lovely friends. She was invited to one of her friends birthdays last weekend. I made this card for her friend. I am hoping that he likes the card. I used the gears from the Garage Gears Dies to cut out in copper foil.

I embossed the Gray Granite card base with the Brick & Mortar folder and then using a dauber I inked around the edge of the card and on some of the bricks.

I cut out the Basic Gray card stock using the Stitched Rectangle dies and stamped the sentiment on there in Tuxedo Black Momento. I adhered everything with my tombow glue rather than dimensionals.

Tropical Chic Floating Frame

Posted on September 18, 2019 by sharon

When the floating frame technique came out I wasn’t really interested in doing the technique as the main thing to create the technique was very hard to acquire in Australia, but when I found the Press & Seal at Costco I just had to try it out.

I created this card using the Tropical Chic stamp set which I really loved playing with the stamps and dies. I love the colours as well. I used Granny Apple Green & a new In Color Rococo Rose.

The technique I believe was originally created by Jennifer McGuire. This really is a fun technique to play with and I want to try it again but just haven’t had the time. I plan to run it as a class soon too.

Here is a close up of the outside frame

I love that you can get two cards with one technique. Here is the inside part of the frame which creates another lovely card to send to someone dear in your life.

Don’t you just love the green and pink together? I just love these colours.

What do you think? Would you like to try out this technique?

Birthday Chupa Chups

Posted on September 16, 2019 by sharon

It was my youngest daughter’s 10th birthday this week and it is encouraged to take something to school to share with the class. I used to make cupcakes for the class but changed it up a few years ago as I knew I was going to be very time poor just before their birthdays so I started making a little something for them to hand out to the class.

This year I used some chupa chups and made these cute little lollypop holders. I found the idea on pinterest and found this gorgeous idea, however it was in italian so had to use some tech skills to translate some of the measurements and I was then able to figure it out.
I finished off the edge of card stock with the story label punch.
I have used a retired punch for this as it was just perfect. I used a retired hand held punch to make a hole in the top and then tied some twine to hold it on and used a dimensional to hold it in place.

Team Blog Hop #10

Posted on September 14, 2019 by sharon

Can you believe it? We’re in double digits for our Blog Hop.

Thanks for joining us on our blog hop journey of Holiday Catalogue Projects. This month’s challenge was a great one to do as we all get to play with brand new product from the new Holiday Catalogue which was only released 10 days ago.

I have chosen to play with the Memories & More Card Pack from the Night Before Christmas Suite. I have always loved these cards as they make creating cards very quick and easy. In this card pack you get 6 each of 9 double designs and 6 sticker sheets. So you could easily grab 5 friends and get together to make some simple Christmas cards.

There is very little stamping on these cards as most of them already have the sentiments for you. I did add the “Celebrate the Season” to Santa in Cherry Cobbler ink from the Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Set as he needed a little something extra and rather than using a punch I just used my papersnips to cut the Vanilla Card on an angle to add some extra dimension.
