My Convention Swaps

Just in case there's somebody out there in the cyber world that actually checks to see if I've posted anything new lately, the answer is NO!! I have been out of action due to my Pop's passing and have now come down with some 'bug'!! Very annoying. While the panadol is still working, I thought I would share my swaps that I made for Convention in Canberra - way back in May! Apologies to those that have already seen these on Facebook but I thought that after all the effort I went to, to get these ready, they were worth putting on my blog.

I have got some new stamps and accessories to play with but don't feel that energetic or creative at the moment - hopefully, I'll be able to share some new creations soon.

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 . My Tutorial for the Butterfly Easel Card can be found HERE .

Hi and welcome to the ESAD-SU, Sale A Bration Blog Hop . ESAD is an Aussie based group just for E xtremely S pecial A ussie and New Zealand Stampin' Up! D emonstrators. I joined this group just before Christmas and am excited to be part of my very first Blog Hop! I have made some examples from the Happy Moments Sale A Bration Stamp Set. It was a tough decision about which one I'd purchase for the pre-order as I LOVE all four of them! It was the little bird stamp that won me over but I'm looking forward to earning the remaining three during the SAB period. Sample 1 - Gift Box This little gift box was made from a template, taken from the SU Demonstrator Web Site Pattern Library (Box No. 21). It is featured in the SAB Catalogue (page 2), with the Vintage Labels Set. I loved the whole layout, so this is a CASE of the original. Project Recipe: Stamp Sets: Happy Moments (SAB), Boho Backgrounds Cardstock: Textured Sahara Sand, Baja Breeze Ink: Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, Ba...

Just Add a Technique - Challenge # 17 at Just Add Ink

Paper Beads and Faux Silk Asian Artistry This week at Just Add Ink we have a challenge with a difference. It takes on the form of a Blog Hop. You will need to visit all the Design Team Member's Blogs and check out all the wonderful tutorials the girls have put together to highlight a certain technique. Decide on which technique you'd like to try and make a card, scrapbook layout or 3D item etc. and enter it in this week's challenge on the Just Add Ink Blog. I have put together a very simple tutorial to show you how to make Paper Beads and Faux Silk . Paper Beads Step 1 - Using your paper cutter, cut out some long triangular strips of paper the length of your chosen DSP. Mine have been cut about 1.5 centimetres at the widest point. I only needed 3 beads but I cut an extra one in case I 'muffed' up. Step 2 - Starting at the wide end, roll up the strip of paper applying glue as you roll. At the beginning make sure you leave a big enough hole to thread your Hemp Twi...
