Top Note Handbag

How cute is this!!! I can't stop playing with my Big Shot. This is the cutest little handbag made from the Top Note Die using cardstock, D/S paper, jumbo eyelets, 1/4"grosgrain ribbon, 5 petal flower punch and a rhinestone brad. I am going to make some little 3x3 notecards to pop inside. Another cute little gift.

Stationery Box - Project Class




This Stationery Box is quite easy to put together. I haven't used SU cardstock here as I wanted to test it out first and make sure the pattern worked well. Now that I know it does I will be running this as a Project Class. The Box includes four birthday cards, four 3x3 notecards, four gift tags, a little address book a pocket for postage stamps and a pen. They make a beautiful gift. Unfortunately Stampin' Up have run out of the Sweet Slumber Specialty Designer Series Paper which is what I was going to use for this class. I will postpone this class until the new IB&C comes out and hopefully there will be some more Specialty Designer Series Paper in the new catalogue.

Blooms Away







This is a note card folder I CASEd from CSP magazine. I changed it around a litte bit. I popped three 3x3 gift cards in it and 3 notecards. I used the "Blooms Away" stamp set, Weathered Background stamp, Friends 24/7 stampset and Lifes Definitions. Apologies for the photography, not the best.

Manhattan Flower and 5th Ave Floral




I have been playing with my "Big Shot" and having lots of fun. Just love the Manhattan Flower embossing folder. The Sizzlits "Little Leaves" is my latest addition to my Sizzlit dies. I am getting into watercolouring too. Just love Fifth Ave Floral rose.

Fox & Friends Scrap page






Please excuse the photography. It was late at night.




This scrap page has been CASED straight from the Autumn/Winter Mini Catalogue. I've just changed the colours they used around a bit. This was very easy and if you'd like to do a scrapbooking class please email me.

Seaworthy - Male Cards


"Seaworthy" is a great stamp set for Male cards. It is on my wish list! My sister has this set and when we last got together I stamped off some boats so that I could play with them and construct some masculine cards. There is also a surfer and a quote by Oprah Winfrey in the set.
The first card the sailing boat has been stamped on vellum paper in Staz-On ink, secured with brads over some D/S paper.
The second card I cased from a swap at convention, I didn't actually get the swap it was displayed on the boards, sorry I don't know who to give credit to. This card would be a lot easier if I had the 2 square punches.

It was my birthday last week - 29 again!!!! (29 is such a great number, I just keep using it each year now.

All I wanted was a nice photo with my kids!!! Well like as if that was going to happen. You've gotta love em!

Top Note Box

This little box has been made using the "Top Note" die. The "Top Note" die works with the Cuttlebug and the Big Shot.
The "Big Shot" can accommodate the Bigz, Bigz xl, Movers & Shapers, Embosslits, Originals, Sizzlits dies and the textured impressions embossing folders so you are not restricted in any way.
If you would like to know how the Big Shot die cutting machine works contact me or watch for upcoming classes on the Big Shot.

Fresh Cut Notes


Fresh Cut Notes are in packs of 15 with envelopes for $17.95.
The first card is sooooo simple. Pop out the petals to make the flower window then using the 5 petal punch cut some matching cardstock and place behind the window. Line the inside of the card with some "Cottage Wall" D/S paper pop a rhinestone brad in the middle, cover the inside brad ends with another 5 petal punch flower. Then using the "Cottage Wall" stamp set stamp some complimentary images. Finish off with 5/8" Old Olive ribbon and your done.
The second card is just as simple. There is never any waste with cardmaking. Using the petals that you popped out of the Fresh Notes attach them to the back of a 5 petal punch flower, a rhinestone brad in the centre, mount on to some cardstock, attach some ribbon, a bit of D/s paper to your A5 card and another quick and easy card.

Waterfall Card - Stamp Club




At Stamp Club last week we made this Waterfall Card using the "Fox & Friends" and Organic Grace stamp set. If you'd like to make slightly more challenging projects and be in a Stamp Club, contact me to find out how Stamp Club works.

Random Act of Kindness

Last week at Stamp Club one of my ladies, Jeanette made me a card and gave me these chocolates to say thank you for sharing my craft with her. She is a good friend who has helped build up my stamping customers and we lend each other stamp sets that we don't have but the other does. Her act of kindness took me by surprise but it was lovely. Thank you Jeanette for being a good friend.
