A Trip Down Memory Lane #1 - Oriental

There are heaps of cards that I made before I started blogging which have never made it to the WWW (except, maybe in my Facebook Album). I thought it would be fun to feature some of them in different posts over the next few days or weeks (depending on how industrious I feel). Here's the first lot which I have classed as 'Oriental'. I won't be posting all the details and many sets/colours have retired now but if you want any more info, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Love to know your thoughts. Any colours, DSP's or sets that you miss?

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 .

Butterfly Easel Card

Image
  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. ...........................................................................................................................................................

A Valentine Chocolate Holder for Still addINKtive Challenges # 3 and a Little Give Away

Image
This week at still addINKtive challenges Kathy has chosen a beautiful colour combo.  I thought the colour palette was perfect for one of my little Valentine Chocolate Holders . My newest SAB set, Bloomin' Marvellous, was wanting to get inky for the first time, so in keeping with 'tradtition' for this time of the year, I came up with a similar design to past years but swapped the stamp set to a current SAB one. It's the Fifth Week of the Month at s.a. challenges so we will either have a sketch or a colour combo for inspiration.  We've decided to go with this trio and can't wait to see your lovely creations. Here's some more detailed pictures of my DT project for the week - Bloomin' Marvellous SAB Stamp Set (Free with every $100 {AUD} purchase during SALE-A-BRATION time) I used Guylian Heart Shaped Belgian Chocolates, available in packs of 8 from Woolworths. Just having some photography fun - using a little cu...
