SSSC64 - Congratulations.....

G'day Stampers,

It has been a couple of days since my last post, but had some great news last Saturday night & as a result this is the card I come up with using the sketch SSSC64 from "The Sweetest Thing" - http://www.kgiron.blogspot.com

Knowing that red was a must and what goes with red, but black & white!  Then not being able to decide between the sets "Embrace Life" or "Eastern Blooms" -  the flower from "Eastern Blooms" winning out in the end, as I just love how the Heat Embossing Technique works on this flower.

I've changed the layout of the flowers a little.

Chocolate Bunny...

G'Day Stampers,

I have finally gotten round to making an Easter Card using the Stamp from the current Stampin’ Up!® Mini-Catalogue.  This mini finishes Wednesday 31st March. 

Not only does it fnish on Wednesday, but a brand new mini-catalogue from Stampin’ Up!® begins Thursday 1st April & the cardstock & inks I have used are from that.  This is one of the advantages of being a Demo....we get to order the new products in advance.

Wait until you see this mini - it is filled with a lot of yummy stuff. 
If anyone would like a FREE mini, please do not hesitate to contact me

Supplies -

Stamp Set - Chocolsate Bunny

Using the cirlce punch, I've punched 3 holes in the Mellon Mambo and adhere the Bunnies behind.

form 3 scallop frames over the bunnies

Enjoy!

In Colours....

G'Day Stampers,

I've just finished creating a set of 6, 5 x 5 Gift Cards and Wallet for a friend.  I've used all the Australian Current Stampin' Up!® "In" Colours.  I then made envelopes to suit the size & to match the cards.

I got to use my new Butterfy Punch which is in the latest Stampin' Up!® current Mini-Catalogue.

Using the butterfly stamp from "Great Friend", I've stamped the image onto the card, then again onto Whisper White, cut this image out & using mini-dots, adhereded to card.  You can't see it in the pics - sri

One Box, Sooooo Many Uses....

G'Day Stampers,

I've been off the air lately, but last night sat myself down & created a box.  I don't know how or what possessed me, but I just knew that I had to come up with something which I could use for many things - jewellery box, pencil case, chocolates, office, etc.  The list is endless. 

This one is going into my own bag, as I can never find my pens and will include my office supplies which I carry around with me.  It is not very big, that it will take up a lot of room!  My ruler even fits into it!

Tip - I've used the "Rock n Roll" Technique on the butterfly.  So easy, yet a different look

 

Can't you just see a chain or pendant sitting in here?  

2 small bars of chocolate fit perfectly or 5 Ferro Rachero's.

 The list is endless!

Enjoy

I'm Back...

G'Day Stampers,

Well, I am back & hopefully to post more frequently than I have been.  Once out of the routine, it takes a bit to get back again.

I've used a set from the current SU mini-catalogue & believe me, this stamp set has heaps of potential.  Check the mini at the right hand side to place an order!  Since seeing this set, I have had an image in my mind of doing this project, just required the occasion!

I am in the middle of making a matching card but wanted to post the box first.  I have made this for a birthday and want to fill the box with lots of goodies, ie lollies.  What kid doesn't like lollies?

I've coloured the image using SU Watercolour Pencils & Aqua Painter

I applied 2-Way Glue & sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds onto the top of the cupcake, which immediately bought the image to life

Card will be posted later on in the day, so please come back again later on in the day!

Until then, have a great day!

Vicky
