Sale-A-Bration Birthday Card

Sorry it's been so long since I last posted.
Time has just passed so quick and look we are half way
through another month.
I wanted to show you a card for Team Member who's birthday was just last week.
I used the new Sale-A-Bration stamp set that you can also earn called Elementary Elegance.
With the stamp I used a technique called "Rock and Roll".
If you've not heard of this before, all you do and first ink 'your stamp
in a lighter color and then ink in a darker color,but roll the edges only, then stamp.
My color pallet was Pool Party, Very Vanilla and Soft Suede, which I really love.
I also embossed the card stock using Elegant Lines and turned it over to give a flat surface.
I daubed the edges of the Very Vanilla in Soft Suede and finished it off with Very Vanilla
Taffeta Ribbon.
Many Thanks for stopping by.
I'll try not to let time get the better of me.

Desktop Easel Calendar No# 2

Hope you're all well and enjoyed your weekend.
I did especially as it was my birthday yesterday and I had a pleasant time with my beautiful family.
Last year I showed you a Desktop Easel Calendar I made for one of my girls and as they are twins you just
can't make one without the other.
So I made another one.

As you can see I made the Owl into a little girl with using the 2 hearts into a bow for her hair (so cute).
Now, I got my creation tutorial from Connie Babbert and it was really easy to follow.
It's not too late to have a go yourself. This time I used Pool Party, Concord Crush, Whisteria Wonder and Whisper White.
Thanks for coming by. Until next time stay safe.

Christmas Thanks You's

Hello to you!!!
I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas break and I'm sure for most
it's back to normal as usual. For those of us in Oz and have kids we are still enjoying the Summer break and have 3 weeks left with our little monkey's.
This year, school holidays hasn't been jammed packed as they are normally, but nice not having to rush around all the time.
So for that reason I was able to sit down and make some cards for the kids to say Thank You to friends and family for the gifts they received.
This is what we have sent.

A very simple card that can easily be made.

The colours are Pear Pizzazz, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla.

This card fits into the Small Open Ended Envelopes which measures 17 x 8.9cm.

The Pear Pizzazz ribbon unfortunately is retired,but all other items used is current.

Well that's all for now.Thanks for stopping by.

Another Birthday To Be Had & Happy 2012

Happy New Year to all of you.
I hope you had a safe and happy time bringing in the New Year.
Today I want to show you a birthday card I made for my daughters friend.
I got my inspiration from Kirsty Brown and I fell in love with these colours so I just had to case it.
I have twicked it alittle to put my own little touches on it.

The colours I used were Melon Mambo, Lucky Limeade, Pretty In Pink and Very Vanilla.
As you can see this is a layering card and at last I got to use my new glitter brad for the centre
of my flower.
So let me know what you think.
Thanks for stopping by.

Ingredients:

Ink:Melon Mambo, Lucky Limeade & Pretty In Pink

Stamps:Array of Sunshine, Perfectly Penned

C/stock:Very Vanilla, Melon Mambo, Lucky Limeade

Other:Stripes Embossing  Die, Scallop Edge Punch, Glitter brad.

Pretty In Pink Birthday

WOW!! Christmas is almost here.
Who's gettting excited? I am, but not as much as the kids.
My daughters were invited to an Ice Skating Party earlier this month and my 6 year old son was
fortunate to join in. It was his first ever time Ice Skating and he loved it. Dad says he was so
proud of him.
The Birthday Girl is turning 9 and here is her card.

Now I did say this was pink and actually the colours are Melon Mambo, Pretty In Pink and Whisper White.
Just added some ribbon and bling to make it really girlie.
The background is the DSP Flirtatious and the doilie is from the same papers.
Well that's it from me until after Christmas.
Hope you all enjoy the festivities and stay safe.

A Cheery Get Well

 Hi there fellow readers.
I am posting a card I made a little while ago for someone who lives far, but never far away in our thoughts.
I do like to keep things bright if I can and using Concord Crush, Pumpkin Pie and Melon Mambo
surely would live up to it's name.

I'm loving the Flirtatious DSP doilies as you may have noticed and introduced again in this card.

The Lattice embossing folder was used after stamping the doilies.

So I think this would cheer up anyones day if they were not well.

What do you think?

Pennant Christmas

Happy Weekend everyone!!!
Time is flying by and before we know it Christmas will have been a gone.

What I am showing you today is a very easy card to make.

First of all with the Lucky Limeade ink onto the Lucky Limeade cardstock I used a stamp from Delightful Decorations and randomly stamped the card.

I used the Impressions "Stripes" folder on the Whisper White cardstock, tied it with Soft Suede dotted ribbon.(Retired).

From the Flirtatious DSP, I cut out a dolie and circle punched the centre.

Now if you have your new Mini Catti you will notice I have used the new Glimmer Paper in Silver #124005 $8.95.You get 2x 12x12 sheets. It also comes in Red. I absolutley love it and will notice with future posts.

If you haven't got a copy please email me and I'll send one out to you.(Australian Residents Only)

For the Christmas Trees I used the Pennant Parade stamp set and punched it out with the co ordinating punch Petite Pennants Builder.

To finish it off I stamped Merry Christmas from the Comtempo Christmas stamp set in Soft Suede and put it through the Big Shot using Lots Of Tags.

The tag was placed onto of another tag-Decorative Label.

And there you have it. I given a couple of these to special people in my life, so enjoy.

Until next time blog followers.

Christmas Birthday Party

Happy Monday to you.
Over the weekend I had the pleasure of doing a young ladies 11th birthday party.
I had been asked last year and as it was a hit then, I was really happy to be asked again.
The theme was to be Christmas and I took the opportunity to use something new
which you will see for yourself when the new Summer Catti goes live on Thurs 1st Dec.
So here is a sneak preview.

There is a new Die and Glitter Paper which comes in 12x12 sheets of two.
I love the combo of the Pool Party, Silver and Whisper White together, very non traditional Christmas colours. I used a Doilie from the Flirtatious DSP and threaded the matching Pool Party ribbon through it.
I then stuck silver glass glitter onto the edges and finshed it off with Rhinestone brad.
Well we all had lots of fun making our own to place treats inside.
Always a winner when you can make something yourself to reuse and place on the tree.
Thanks for stopping by.
