For the Blokes


I'm so excited about this card as I had more fun making it than a 'girly' one for a change. This is all thanks to SU for putting out some brand new brads to help jazz things up a tad for those hard to do masculine cards. Hope Brett likes it (and he doesn't read my blog before Father's Day).


Project Recipe:
Stamps: Sense of Time and Oval All
Paper: Baja Breeze and Kraft
Ink: Choc Chip
Accessories: Vintage Brads, Build-A-Brad - Antique Brass, 5/16"Jumbo Brads - Neutral Assortment, Parisian Breeze Specialty DSP, 1" DS Grosgrain Ribbon - Choc Chip, Large Oval Punch, 1/2" Circle Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals
Techniques: Sponging and Build-A-Brad


This is the card that the children in my class will be making for Father's Day this week. It will be such a chore to do card making at school (Not!). They love using the Cuttlebug and this is one of my new embossing folders. Fun times ahead!

Project Recipe:
Stamps: Brushstroke Alphabet (Retired SU)
Paper: Whisper White, Choc Chip, Color Core - Elements
Accessories: Brown brads, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder - Owl Flourish, Circle Punches (1", 3/4"), Sanding Blocks.

Just Add Colour with a Mini Photo Wallet

Photo Wallet and Butterfly Easel Card The Colour Combo for Just Add Ink's 57th Challenge Butterfly Easel Card I designed a butterfly easel card for my latest project at UStamp with Dawn and Friends using the Punch Bunch Stamp Set . For this challenge I popped the little butterfly from the Bliss Set , added some pearls and stamped the gorgeous flourish from the same SAB stamp set to form the background pattern for both die cut butterflies. I also sponged around the edges with River Rock Ink. PS: Thanks again to Nancy Riley for choosing this card as one of her iPicks for this week! Inside the Photo Wallet This would make a Lovely Hostess Gift (especially for a scrap-booking enthusiast) Complete with Photo Mats Instructions for the Photo Wallet can be found HERE .

Scalloped Tag Easel Card with Punch Art Vintage Caravan

Just popping in for a quick post with a cute little project to say a fond farewell to SALE-A-BRATION 2014 .  We had a beautiful and varied selection of free product to choose from (as always) and I think that the top two for me were the gorgeous Sweet Sorbet DSP and Banner Punch .       My brother is really into restoring Vintage Caravans (campers) and I bought a book for him today called, VANTASTIC - Retro Caravan Holidays in the Modern World by Kate Ulman, which inspired this bit of Punch Art on my Scalloped Tag Easel Card . Somehow, I think that I will be back with some more caravan paper creations as I really enjoyed making this one.

Butterfly Easel Card

  This card uses SU's Blushing Bride card stock and ink, the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die and Antique Brads . The sentiment is from the stamp set, Butterfly Prints and I have used the textured impressions embossing folder, Finial Press in this example. If you wish to see my tutorial, it is only available as a pdf file, with the purchase of the Larger Butterfly Easel Card Tutorial. Unfortunately, a few websites have copied my entire tutorial and published it without my consent, including all the photos and instructions.  It's just as well I add a watermark to everything.  So, after two years of sharing the love,  I feel I need to remove the instructions from this post to avoid any further plagiarism. Thanks for your understanding. ...........................................................................................................................................................
