Sunday Scrap - Halloween.

Since it's Halloween I thought a Halloween Scrap page would be fitting for this week Sunday Scrap. This page was really fun to make.

The highlight of the page is the purple owl sitting in front of a glittery moon. I've used the stars from the Extreme Elements stamp set with StazOn White ink and also sponged a bit to make it look a bit like fog. And added rhinestones for added sparkle. The moon and the title "BOO" have been covered in Dazzling Diamonds with heat & stick powder.

Here is a close up of the sparkly moon and owl.

Recipe

Thanks.

Here is a Thank you card I made for my friend Marcelle. Using the Friends never Fade stamp set with the Top Note die and the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder. The colours are Sahara Sand, Kiwi Kiss (retired) and Baja Breeze. The main focal point has been covered with Crystal Effects for a really cool glossy look.

Have a great day.

Sunday Scrap.

Hi this Sunday I have to show you the 6x6 Scrap page we made at Regionals. Don't you just love that butterfly. The photo is from a trip up the Coast a couple of years ago. It was so relaxing just sitting by the lake watching the ducks swim around.

Baby Tees.

Wow it's Thursday already.

I'd like to wish my very good friend Christine a very Happy Birthday today. I hope you have a fantastic day.

No, this isn't the card I made for Christine. She would freak out if I did. :) I want to keep Christine's card a surprise for her. This is a cute baby card using the Baby Tees Jumbo Wheel. I just wheeled along Whisper White card and coloured in with Stampin' Write markers. Then add some ribbon and a few rows of different colours punched with the Scallop Edge Border punch.

Two of my kids teachers are pregnant, but we just found out they are both having boys. So Ill have to make some boy baby cards now.

Have a great day.

Inkspiration Colour Challenge #44

Oops, I just realized I have used the wrong pink for Makeesha colour challenge. The colours are supposed to be Daffodil Delight, Marina Mist, Whisper White and Pretty in Pink. I have used Regal Rose instead of Pretty in Pink. Hope this will be ok.

I have heat embossed the Woodgrain background stamp with white embossing powder and clear embossed the beautiful butterfly's. I really like how this turned out. The Marina Mist panel is dry embossed with the Elegant Lines embossing folder. Then a white scallop edge, a bit of piercing , some ribbon and of course rhinestones. I've been using the new rhinestone Jewels on everything lately.

Thanks for a great colour challenge Makeesha, even if I did get it a little bit wrong.

Recipe
Stamp Sets: Woodgrain background, Tiny Tags
Card: Daffodil Delight, Marina Mist, Regal Rose, Whisper White

From Louise.

Look at this gorgeous card I received in the mail from my Demo buddy Louise. Back at the Brisbane regionals when we found each other in the crowd Louise had swapped all her swaps so she made another one and mailed it to me. ( So sweet of you, Thank You) You can visit Louise's blog Handmade by Lou here.

More Stamp a Stack.

Hi, here is the other card we made at the Stamp a Stack. Again the girls had to make 5 in different colours and using different greetings. The stamp sets used are Because I Care and Afterthoughts, both are level 1 hostess sets. The base card has been embossed with embossing folders using the Big Shot and lightly sponged. After stamping the flower on Whisper White card we stamped again on scrap paper and cut out to make a reverse mask. Placed the mask over the flower and lightly sponged ink onto the flower image. Then added detail with a Stampin' Write Marker. A really fun and quick way to colour. We then added Champagne Shimmer Mist with a dauber to added a bit of shimmer. (Scroll down to see close up of shimmer) We then added a greeting, a cute bow and distressed the edges with the cutter kit.

This first card is in Pretty in Pink with the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder.

This one is Peach Parfait with the Elegant Lines embossing folder. I went a crazy with the sponging on this one.

And this one is Certainly Celery with the Manhattan Flower embossing folder.

Here is the close up of the Shimmer Paint. It's very hard to photograph, but it looks fantastic. A tip when using Shimmer Paint, Less is Best.

Stamp A Stack.

Hi, I hope you all had a great weekend, it's been very wet here and despite the rain we had a fantastic time at the Stamp A Stack on Saturday. Here is one of the Owl card's we made, the girls made 5 of these in different colours. Mixing up the colours of the owl. Lots of fun and lots of missing eyes. :)

This first card is using Crumb Cake card base stamped with Soft Suede ink with the Woodgrain Background stamp. The other colour used is Daffodil Delight and the greeting is from the Curly Cute stamp set. Not forgetting the Rhinestone Jewels.

And this card is using Soft Suede card base stamped with Early Espresso ink and Concord Crush for the greeting and Owl. With Pearl Jewels.

I'll show you the other cards using the Because I Care stamp set next post so check back for that.

Thanks so much to all the girls for making it such a fun afternoon.

Happy Birthday.

A lovely Birthday Card showing off the my favorite Embossing Folder Vintage Wallpaper. I have kept this card simple just adding a strip of DSP Greenhouse Gala, a strip of card punched with the scallop border punch and some ribbon. The greeting is from the Perfect Punches stamp set, all the greeting in this set have a coordinating punch. And I have added a Rhinestone brad for that bit of bling.

Sunday Scrap.

Hi, It Sunday again and the good thing about this Sunday is that the kids go back to school tomorrow. Yeh! Just kidding, I do love having extra time to spend with them and I really love sleeping in.

Today's page is the one we made at Amanda's last weekend. Showing off lots of the new punches. As you know I am a punch addict and I almost always use at least one punch in every project. We used 5 punches on this 8 x 8 page and we had lots of fun playing with them all, especially the 2 step owl punch. He is just adorable. We also used the Greenhouse Gala DSP, the Little Leaves Sizzlits die and the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder on the flower center. The title is using the Wonderful Favorites stamp set.

The photo is of Zach and his wonderful friend Nadia, taken in the Easter school holidays. We had a fantastic day at Kings Park and Nadia was testing out her new camera. I have lots of great photo's from that day which I hope to scrap one day soon.

Here is a close up of the Fancy Flower and 2 Step Owl Punch.
