3D Flower Card

admin — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 00:05:59 +0000

I'd wanted to make a 3D flower card for a while, was just waiting for the right opportunity... Mostly, I was inspired by an Origami book I have laying around. I love the color combination and the result of the folding is really rich. This one is going to an older lady whose heart is [...]

Bookmark fun

I normally make something to give to my son's classmates and teachers at the end of the term - this time I decided to make bookmarks. These are some I have made - there are too many to post, but these are cute. I then got so much into it, ended up making a few [...]

Tricks and Treats #2

Have you noticed that Stampin Up® ink pads are actually up side down to keep the ink on the pad's surface? The Stampin Up® ink pads swivels to the up side down position but the Versamark one does not. Always store the Versamark pad upside down to achieve the same purpose and great quality stamping [...]

Had to wait for pictures to make them a lil gift... He's 6 weeks old now, and giving my sis-in-law the ride of his life... Seems like he has some tummy issues and sleeping is not his preferred way to spend the night... Nevertheless, welcome to this crazy world, Pedro ! Aunty is sending you some [...]

Playing with Vellum

admin — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 08:44:53 +0000

I like the transparent effect of vellum but it is hard for me to fit its effect in the stuff I make... it may be fair to say I find it does not really fit my style? Most of the cards I see around that use Vellum are not me at all... but I think [...]

A simple but pretty Season card

admin — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 08:28:09 +0000

This is a great card to make when you have a huge amount of people to send cards to for the end of the Year Celebrations - and what I like about it also - you can send it to people who celebrate Kwanzaa, Christmas, Hanukkah, Winter Solstice or the Agnostic Shopping Spree Day - [...]

Our world covered in dust !!

admin — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 07:45:20 +0000

I cannot start to describe how we felt this morning at 6:30 AM... It was sooo freaky! The world was literally RED outside the window. The sunrise compounded by the worst sand storm in the history of Sydney, gave our morning a flavor of an Armageddon of sorts. It would have been seriously scary if [...]

Inklings Challenge – Alana’s turn!

admin — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 13:33:55 +0000

Here's the first challenge - I must have used about 95% of all the embellishments I had laying around!! It requires a few pictures being a 3D card...

It is a lot of fun to make a trifold card like this... I especially like using the DSP...

and in this challenge, all the hardware I could put [...]

Color Challenge #12

admin — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 04:34:36 +0000

I just felt like making recessed window cards today, but could not decide which color would be best for the background... So I made 2. Then my son showed up in the craft room (!!!) and actually put a card together (seeing he is a boy and it was a challenge, you see...)

So [...]

Loads of fun!!

I have had the stamp set Loads of Love for some time now, but never found the right inspiration to use it until now... I'd seen cards made with these stamps but none of them had caught my attention to the point of inspiring me - so today, pressed by the need to create Christimas [...]
