Having a Play...

... with the Circle Card Thinlits.  I've had them for some time, but was playing around the other day & decided to give them a bit of a workout!

 

If you haven't purchased these Thinlits, do so, as you will have so much fun doing so.  In fact, this is going to be a card for one of my Birthday next month.

2014...

To print & create your own calendar, just click on the "Yearly Calendar" Page

 

I don't have a tutorial for you today, as they were a last minute thought.  Thinking that they would not sell, I had all intentions of doing a Tutorial once I got home.  However, in saying that, I will have one up & running in the next couple of weeks for you.

 

Supplies -

Stamp Set - Everything Eleanor

Ink - Basic Black, Basic Grey

Cardstock - Basic Black, Very Vanilla

SC 092/13...

Crikey these weeks come round fast.  It just seems like yesterday that we had our last challenge, but looking at my last post, I haven't posted much in the last couple of weeks.  Hopefully, that will be fixed this week.

It was my turn to do the challenge over at Sunny Challenges & thought it would be great if we had a Colour Theme.  "Pool Party"  seems to be the in-colour for Christmas this year, so this should be an easy colour for everyone to join in the fun.

Unfortunately, I don't have any measurements for my card this week.  I sold it last Sunday at the Handmade Expo.  I had completely forgotten that I had created it for this challenge & only took a photo at the last moment, else I would have had to create another card.

Supplies -
Stamp Set - Ornament Keepsakes, Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Ink - Island Indigo, Pool Party
Cardstock - Whisper White, Island Indigo, Pool Party, Smokey Slate
Embossing Folders - Pretty Print, Stylish Stripes
Framelits - Ornament Keepsakes
Punches - 2 1/2" Circle, Word Window, Modern Label
Ribbon - 1/8" Silver
Accessories - Rhinestone Jewels, Stampin' Dimensionals, Snail Adhesive

I run the piece of Island Indigo CS through the BS using Stylish Stripes EF.  This is fast becoming one of my favourite folders.  The piece of Pool Party CS was again put through the BS, this time using Pretty Print EF.  I then ran a piece of the Silver Ribbon across the middle of the joins & tied a bow.  I adhered both these embossed pieces to a piece of Whisper White CS prior to adhering to Base Card - Smokey Slate.


I stamped 3 different size snowflake images onto Whisper White CS - 1 x Island Indigo, 1 x Pool Party & a smaller one again in Island Indigo. The 2 largest were then run through the BS using the matching Framelits prior to layering on top of each other with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I cut out the middle of the small snowflake & adhered to the centre.

I punched a circle from Whisper White CS with the 2 1/2" Circle Punch, adhered to Base Card prior to adhering the snowflakes to the centre with Stampin' Dimensionals.

The greeting was stamped onto Whisper White CS in Pool Party Ink, punched with the Word Label Punch & adhere to a piece of Island Indigo which had been punched with the Modern Label Punch.  It was then adhered to the Base Card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

To finish the card, I placed a small Rhinestone Jewel in the centre, as well as either side of the sentiment.

To see what Kris has created, head on over to Sunny Challenges & check it out.  Why not join us for this fun challenge.  We love seeing your wonderful work & leaving comments on your blog.

For our challenges over at Sunny Challenges & Creations we have a simple sketch.  Sometimes, the simple challenges really challenge me & I have a hard time creating something.

I have not long received the cute little stamp set - Kind & Cozy & matching DSP - Gingham Garden, so I thought I would dig it out & ink it up before it become one of those sets that I love but never sees ink for a couple of months.

In keeping with the sketch, I kept my card very simple.  In fact, this card went off in the post during the week.

The best part about this technique, we all started out with the same kit BUT all ended up with different results!

I actually cased the card on Page 110 of the Catalogue.  I did swap a couple of things from the original card.  Gotta admit, this is fantastic when you hit a blank wall.  We also played with the Clay & Molds in this class & were a huge hit with everyone!

Gift Card Holder...

One of our cards we created in Crafty Creations a couple of weeks ago was a Christmas Card  Gift Holder.  I did find this on Google which led me back to Kay Kalthoff.  Those that know me I am not one to watch videos or follow instructions.  I sort of sit down & work things out for myself.  I did watch a bit of this video, but then went off on my own & ended up with this result!

Me being me, I did change it a little, including the papers & the design a little.  The class loved it!

Cardstock - Very Vanilla – 106550, Riding Hood Red – Retired, Old Olive - 106576

Christmas Card # 2....

Today is the 2nd card one of the groups in my class of 20 a couple of weeks ago did.  You can view the first card one of the groups completed.  They were all very easy cards, but this time we concentrated on the Big Shot & learning out to emboss.  I especially love that I can use some of my favourite retire stamps & retired DSP.

I originally found this on Google sometime ago.  I did go searching for it to give credit but now I can't find it.  Please let me know if you recognise it as I would love to give you credit.  Thank you so much for the inspiration!

 

I have since sold this card so today there is no tutorial.

 

Until next time, Happy Stampin"

SC 089/13...

It was my turn to set the challenge this week at Sunny Challenges & Creations.  I went with the theme of "BABY".

This could be anything from cards, 3-D Projects or even a Scrapbook page.  In fact I very nearly did a page, but my mind went blank at the last moment.  I even had a hard time creating my card for the challenge.  Do you ever get something in your mind, knowing that it is all wrong, but not knowing where to go?  This happened to me. 


Once I had finished my card, I suddenly realised that I had created the whole card on top of my catalogue which was opened at the page the stamp set appeared on.  I am just lucky that I didn't get glue, etc all over the page......

My card is a little different as I don't really have any "baby" stamps, except for my wheel.  As bicycles seem to be popular at the Handmade Expo I attend, I thought it perfect timing to catch up on  my baby cards.

For the inside of my card, I cut a piece of Whisper White Cardstock back to 5 1/2" x 3 3/4" or 14cm x 9.5cm & adhered to the inside Base Card.  I cut an upside down "V" into a 3/4" x 5 1/2" or 2cm x 14cm piece of DSP  to form a pennant shape & adhered to top of Whisper White Card.

Technique Class....

As usual I am a little behind in posting one of the cards we did in our Technique Class a couple of weeks ago.  We focused on "Double Embossing"  If you haven't played with this technique, make sure you do, as it is a lot of fun & so many possibilities. In this class we concentrated on 2 of the may possibilities.

Today's cards is the more traditional way of "Double Embossing".  We also concentrated on Father's Day.  For those who didn't want to create a card for Father's Day, they use "Birthday Wishes" instead.

To create my card I combined a couple of different cards together from Pinterest.

Card -

 

Our Bonus Project was a Wine Label to match the card 

 

I then created a Post-It Note Holder when I got home

 

This is the set together, including a matching Gift Card 

 

Until next time, when I will show you the 2nd card we created

Christmas Card #1...

Last week I had the privilege of having a class with 20 or so ladies.  I usually do this class one every year where we create Birthday Cards.  They then give out the same cards throughout the year when their birthdays come around.  For something a little different, we decided to create Christmas Cards & concentrate on embossing, which was a huge hit! 

Doing a class this size can be quiet exhausting & utter chaos, but I think we have it down to a fine art now whereby we are in about 5/6 small groups.  Each group has their own supplies, including inks, stamps, kits, etc while at the same time creating 5/6 different cards.

In fact, this time round I had a table where I left the Punches to be used, Big Shot & about 4 different Embossing Folders.  It worked brilliantly!

Mind you it does take me some time to think up some easy designs & cards, but at the same time, ensuring that the ladies will love them & get to use different supplies.  It also gave me a chance to use up some of my retired stock.

As with these classes everyone's card always turns out very different, which is great!

Cupboard....

... Stampin' Up! style.
 
This is another card I cased from Pinterest.  Thank you Michelle for your inspiration.  The ladies at Crafty Creations loved it!  Mind you it is now quiet some time we created it!

This card makes for heaps of possibilities with some of the ladies creating the card aimed at babies, kids & in general.  It would perfect for the teenager too!
