Card: Close to Cocoa DSP, Real Red A4, Whisper White A4, Soft Suede A4

Ink: Real Red, Soft Suede

Tools: Big Shot Scallop Envelope die, Jewellery Tag Punch

Accessories: Gold Brad, Glue Dots, 2-Way Glue Pen

Merry Christmas to everyone. Thanks for visiting my blog!

Another notebook

This is a notebook I made for myself awhile ago. Scroll down to my previous post to see another. This one uses the Elegant Soiree DSP.

Thankyou Notebook

I love that a simple but beautiful and unique gift can be created using Stampin' Up! products. I bought this notebook for my upline as a thankyou. It was a plain brown style from Borders. But with a bit of DSP and ribbon and one of my favourites, the owl punch, I created what I think is a beautiful gift. I hope she likes it! This notebook is covered in the Woodland Walk DSP which has all sorts of images to suit the owl punch (his tummy uses this DSP too!)
Check back tomorrow and I'll show you a notebook using another colour combo.

Thanks!

An Ella card

My niece, who has had her cards on my blog before, sent me this beautiful card.... clever girl. Can you see her writing at the bottom left hand corner? Pretty neat for a six year old!?

Bag in a Box...er Box in a Bag

I'm back, with photos!

One of our projects at the December workshop was this Box in a Bag. The original was created by Di Gibbs, a SU! demonstrator in the U.S. It looks beautiful in the Jolly Holiday DSP and the project is quick and easy. Click here for the tutorial.

The tag uses the Dasher stamp - one of the a la CARTE single stamps. If you are a fan of the Scallop Circle punch, this is a larger one (6cm) available in the new Summer Mini. The Old Olive circle is punched out with the 4.4cm Circle Punch.

Stamps: Dasher

Card: Jolly Holiday DSP, Old Olive A4, Cherry Cobbler A4

Ink: Old Olive

Tools: Scallop Edge Punch, 4.4 cm Circle Punch, 6cm Scallop Circle Punch, Round Tab Punch (hidden behind the tag!)

Accessories: Wild Wasabi Double stitched ribbon (retired), Basic Rhinestones

No Photo

I am having trouble loading photos on my blog - doing everything the same as always but it's not happening.  So....just words for now.  December Frenzy continues....click on the picture to the right to read the specials.  I had sent out an email saying that some markers were no longer on special but, we  demonstrators have kicked up a fuss and ALL the markers listed on the flyer are still available at the discounted price.  People power!!  If you wish to place an order, email me on wheatonanna@hotmail.com or phone 55 765 469.

If you haven't visited my blog before, scroll down for some photos of projects.. Hopefully, I'll work things out and post some more photos soon!

Pun Fun

I have long admired the set Pun Fun for the simplicity of the images and the clever puns.  Love a good pun!  I have finally bought the set and thought it ideal for a set of notecards for Zac's teacher.  I used paper piecing for each of the images.

For each of the DSPs chosen for each card, I used that colour as the base of the card...mmmm does that make sense?

Here are some of the images close up.

I put the notelets in a pizza box with a belly band.

Stamps:  Pun Fun
Card: Variety of DSP with corresponding cardstock
Ink:  Black Staz On

Jaffa Sticks

I purchased these skinny treat bags from a fellow demonstrator and Zac and I had a great time making 'jaffa sticks' for his friends at school.  The jaffas just squeezed in.

This stamp set, Punches Three is now retired.

Teeny Tiny Sentiments for a Teeny Tiny Price

One of the fantastic bargains during December Frenzy is the set Teeny Tiny Sentiments (#119185, page 105 of catalogue).  Its regular price is $62.95, but during December it's selling for $31.48 - that's half price.  The set contains 24 stamps, in varying fonts which cover just about any occasion you could imagine.  Each can be stamped straight onto card stock or cut out using the Word Window punch (#119857),  Modern Label Punch (#119849) or 4.4 x 2.2 cm Oval Punch (#119855).

One stamp I use often is the "Hello Baby" stamp, and not for baby cards.  Using a Stampin' Write marker,  I ink up the "Hello" for quick note cards to friends and customers.
