“SCENTSATIONAL” BABY!

Don’t put some of those Christmas stamps away just yet! It’s great to know that you can use them for more occasions than the season they were intended.

Here is a great idea I found on Stampin’ Connection, a Demonstrator Forum I am on.  This was CASED from Mercedes Weber.  You can visit her blog here.  She is just the cleverest 🙂

How cute is this using the set “Scentsational Season”.  I would never have thought to use this for a baby card, but what a great idea! The clouds are punched from the Cupcake Punch and ran through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.  The DSP is Tempting Turquoise and is from the Brights Paper Stack.  The greeting is from “Itty Bitty Banners” and cut with the Bitty Banner Framelits.  There you go, a baby card using a Christmas set.  Who’d have thought Hey!!!!

Well, 2013 has dawned.  I hope this year brings you all you hope for.  Keep looking forward to achieve your goals.  Don’t dwell on the bad stuff, they just weigh you down.

Happy 2013 to you,

“CARD CANDY PROJECTS”

Where has the last week gone to??? I can’t believe they are flying past.  Already it is mid November!!!  I am here to finally show you my projects for the Inspiration Board at Heartfelt Stampin’ Up! event in Sydney last week.  I had been thinking about what to do for some time but when it came to it and there was one week to go, there was not a lot of time left.  So, what was I going to do??? I decided to make some Card Candy.  I don’t know about you but I am always on the lookout for these ideas.  They are great to quickly add to a card front or a tag and as a Demonstrator they can make great gifts for your hostesses.  So, with that I got creating!  Also, I thought I don’t have a lot of time, so these would be quick to whip up.  Well I was wrong on that count.  They probably took longer than a card because there were so many bits to them, but I had a lot of fun making them.  Once I started there was so many ideas coming.  Ok, so here they are for you.

Since Christmas is nearly upon us I thought Christmas Card Candy would be good.  Here is the Christmas one.

Here is a close-up of some of them.

“ANOTHER SCENTSATIONAL WINDOW!”

I wanted to show you this card we made a few weeks ago at a workshop.  Thanks Deb :).  I have been having fun with this stamp set ‘Scentsational Season’.  How easy is it when you have the co-ordinating Framelits??? – No scissors involved!!!

Here is the card.  I CASED this from Fiona Whitten on our Stampin’ Connection forum for Demonstrators.  I just changed a couple of little things.

I love the little window created with the tree.

I will give you the details:

CARD: Crumb Cake, Gumball Green, Very Vanilla, Be of Good Cheer DSP.

INK: Gumball Green, Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler.

STAMPS: Scentsational Season, Petite Pairs.

OTHER: HOLIDAY Framelits, scallop oval punch, oval punch, Dotted Ribbon Punch, Rhinestones.

Just a couple of tips:

– Once you stamp and cut the trees, line them up on your card front so you roughly know where to cut the tree.

– It is easier to push the tree through the window at the front to position it rather than trying to line it up from inside.

Here is the inside of the card if you want to see.

The inside greeting is from Petite Pairs.

Thanks for looking.  My bed is calling me …….

Come and visit again soon,

‘CANDY CANE WINDOW’

A couple of weeks ago I was playing around with the Framelits ‘Labels’.  I wanted to create a window in the card front to have an image peeking through.  Here is what I came up with.  I used the fun Christmas set ”Scentsational Season”.

Here is the inside view.

CARD: Gumball Green, Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler.  A Good Cheer DSP. I was going for very traditional colours here taking the colours from the DSP.

INK: Cherry Cobbler.

STAMPS: Sensational Season, Lots of Tags.

OTHER: Framelits (Labels), Jewellery Tag Punch.

I like the idea of having a window in your card.  You get to enjoy the main image even when it is open.

Thanks for looking.  We are leaving Hawaii tomorrow.  We have just had one last swim at Waikiki.  It has been a wonderful time but I am looking forward to getting back home and stamping again.  I hope to get some photos up soon from our time here.

Until then!!

“MUNCHED GINGERBREAD”

Just a quick post today.  School holidays start today and we are heading off to …………..HAWAII!!! I can’t believe today is here.  We have been planning this trip for a year.  We have a few final things to pack and last minute rush around getting hair cuts.  Leaving things to the last minute here!!! 🙂  Anyway, I wanted to show you a quick card before we leave.

I had a lot of fun making this card.  I CASED this off our Demonstrator Facebook group.  Now I can’t remember who the original creator is – Sorry.  Let me know if you recognise it.

Isn’t it cute??  I have used the set ‘Scensational Season’.  This was made in Gumball Green and Cherry Cobbler and the ‘Be of Good Cheer’ DSP.  I have “munched” the gingerbread with the scallop circle punch.

Why not make your own “munched Gingerbread” card??

I hope to stop by occasionally and give you a few travel reports.  I don’t want to bore you too much though. 🙂  I have some cards that I have planned to show you too so don’t forget to visit.

Until then, Mahalo (Thank You and Good Bye)  – see I am learning the lingo already!!
