MAKING LOOPY THREADS ON CARDS!

Last month I gave away these cute Pop Up Scrap Bins for everyone who ordered from me. I made up some cute cards as Thank You’s.  The card was inspired by the Pop Up Bin itself.

gold-thank-you

Here is the bin again just for you to see.

The cards were small notecards measuring 10cm x 10cm (4″ x 4″).  The black card mat was embossed with the Lucky Stars Embossing Folder.  A Gold Foil circle was cut with the Layering Circles Framelits and then stamped in Black Stazon with the sentiment from ‘Tin of Cards’.  I looped around Gold Thread behind the circle before adhering it to the card with Dimensionals.

People have asked me several times how to make those loopy threads on the cards so when I was making this I made a video to show you.  See that below.

LAST DAY FOR STITCHED SHAPES AND 25% OFF!

Can you believe it is the end of November?? Going way too fast!

I received my Stitched Shapes Framelits a couple of weeks ago and had some time to create with them.  One of the cards I made was a special card to say HI to some new customers who I have met recently.  I thought I would show you.

stitched-circle-hello

The base card is Watermelon Wonder.  It is a bit hard to tell in the photo. It’s been a while since I have used the set Kinda Eclectic.  You can’t tell on this but I added a little Wink of Stella sparkle on the butterfly. I also dusted off the Hello You Thinlits. The white card mat was embossed with the Brick Wall Embossing Folder.

BIRTHDAY FIESTA LLAMA!

This is the last card to show you from our stamping weekend.  You are probably glad of that!! 🙂 When I first saw this set ‘Birthday Fiesta’ in the catalogue I thought it was so cute but I haven’t got it as yet.  It was good to have a play with it on our weekend – and it was a very quick one as I was virtually going out the door. I am glad I made the time though.

fiesta-birthday

This is Cased from Pinterest but I can’t remember who the original creator is. The base card is Melon Mambo which matches so well with that funky paper ‘Festive Birthday’ Designer Series Paper. 

This card makes me smile every time I look at it.  Don’t you just love that happy Llama?  🙂

Have a happy day yourself.

COOL COFFEE CUP CARD!

I found this idea the other day to make these cute coffee cups.  I don’t drink coffee but I love meeting up with friends for “coffee”.  I loved the idea that you could make these cute cups with … The Home Sweet Home Thinlits Dies.  How clever! They make great sized coffee cups for a card.

This idea is from Susan Campfield on suestampfield.com HERE.

coffee-cups

 I put together a video on how to make it for you.  View that -> HERE.

You can dress them up as you like.  I have used the ‘Paisleys and Posies’ stamps and the Paisleys Framelits.  The background is stamped with the ‘Timeless Textures’ set. The sentiment is from ‘Bella and Friends’ which I think is very apt for a friend to let them know you are thinking of them.

What a fun idea!

It just happens that the Home Sweet Home Thinlits are 30% off this week for Extravaganza. They are priced this week at $44.10.  You can check out all the List for Extravaganza at my store HERE.

I hope you can make your own “coffee cup” cards.

PEEKABOO PEACH FAIRY!

This is another project I made on our stamping weekend.  Originally I stamped and coloured this Fairy from Fairy Celebration for the Panel card I showed a few posts back but I thought it was a little detailed to go on the card.  So I created another card to put this on.

peekaboo-peach-fairy

The fairy is stamped on to Watercolor card and coloured with the Aquapainter.  (Don’t look too closely at the colouring.  I have a bit to work on with that).  I did finish it with the Clear Wink of Stella Brush but you can’t quite see the sparkle unfortunately. The sentiment is stamped on a strip of the Watercolor card.

I wanted the rest of the card to be kept simple so I adhered a piece of the Playful Palette DSP on to  the Peekaboo Peach base card and then could assemble the coloured piece and the sentiment.  It was finished off with a White Baker’s Twine bow and some Rhinestones. I thought the sentiment was a bit bare so I cut a small flower from Blushing Bride from the little flower in the Flourish Thinlits. 

I hope you like this one.  It was the first time I have played with this set.

Thanks for visiting
