Bright and Cheery

I created this box and card as a birthday gift for a six year old girl.  The colours are from the now retired Bold Brights family, but I bought up on some of the lovely bright colours for just this kind of thing.

The flower was done using the Big Shot.  The box is the Fancy Favor die.  The card and box were so quick and easy to put together..what did we do before the Big Shot?

Inside the box...

Colour co-ordinating jelly beans.

A note book that any little girl would love.  So easy to make using the Beautiful Butterflies die.  The Crop-a-Dile punched through the layers like butter.

And a magnet.

Embossing Workshop and 100 Posts

This is Post Number 100 on my blog!   I would love it if you could leave a comment.  You can even do it anonymously.

Here are some pics of the cards we made at my Embossing Workshop yesterday.

This was a little example of dry embossing - see the lines on the Whisper White?  These were done using the scoring tool on the paper trimmer.  Love that Easter Blossoms set.

Next we experimented with white embossing on a plain background.

And followed up with white embossing on a patterned background.  This ideas came straight from our monthly "Impressions" magazine, mailed to all demonstrators.  It's packed full of ideas and inspiration.

And who could resist ...emboss resist.  I love this stamp set "Bliss" from the current Sale-a-Bration sets.  You can earn this stamp set for FREE by placing a $100 order.
This card was CASED from Kimberly Van Diepen who had a great video of emboss resist if you missed my class.

Here is a little close up of the butterfly.  SU! has so many punches to match their images but this one, we had to cut out by hand. 

And lastly, a little more emboss resist using the sponge daubers.

If you are interested in coming along to my classes they are held in the Burleigh Waters area twice monthly, day or evening.  Email me at wheatonanna@hotmail.com or phone 55 765 469.
