Never Enough!

As I tidied up my stamps after a card making day, I thought that they look so nice, I took a pic!
For some reason I can't get it to go straight here but you get the idea! I have a few!!! But then I turned around and saw some that I fogot to put in!! Now I know you think it looks like I've got alot but it's NEVER ENOUGH!! Which is why I love StampinUp catalogues, a favorite way to chill out is just to flick through those pages!!!! Ahhhhhh....

Come along for some creative fun

Don't forget to RSVP by Tuesday the 13th

In my Happy Place!

 The thing I love about making cards is that I can never be exactly sure how they will turn out, but the kick I get when I like it is great! But I can't look to long, I will find fault! The hardest part is thinking up a layout. I copy quite a few from the Stampin' Up! idea catalogue, just adding my own touches, which is what I did with all of these, except the pink one, did that all by myself! I really love the label punch (on the pink card), I use it about 50% of the time! It just looks so elegant. I really do love card making!
If you want to make a card, just call me and I'm happy to show you how :)

Wet days = Craft time

At last, I've made some cards!

 It's been a bit soggy here and with the humidity at around 80% I find my cards go warped :(

I have to keep them flat, but with these flowers, it's a bit tricky!

On this card I used paper flowers from Kaiser, aren't they pretty?

I guess flowers are a favorite, all these cards have them! The paper flowers on the bright card are made using  stampin up paper punches. I love being able to stick perfectly colour coordinated buttons on them too!

For all you savy stampers out there, don't forget that it's sale-a-bration time at stampin up and

you can get stamp sets, paper or ribbon and brads for free!

And if you have a party of your own you can get even more for free.

Sale-a-bration ends on the 31st of March.

Christmas Cuties

Another borrowed stamp from my friend Leana, so cute!!! At the craft expo I bought some glittery pens by Sukura called Gelly Roll's and at first I thought I made a mistake and didn't need them, but with sparkly Christmas time, I find I love them!!! So all these cards have some glittery bling on them! I also love the card stock colour, Cherry Cobler, it gorgeous deep red perfect for Christmas!

I think I need to buy a stamp just like this! But you don't need any more I hear you say......

mwaahaahaa

yea I do!!!!

Had a fab time...

......at the Quilting and Craft Expo last weekend! They had super bargains this year and I spent all my pocket money and then some!

I got this cute little set, even though I told my friend not to let me buy any more stamps!!! Could you resist this cute pic?

I don't know where all my time goes, I haven't sat down to make any cards at all, I will today!!!!

Keep watch for my new creations!!!

What I've been up to!

Making more cards of course! Apart from the 10 million other things on my to do list!

But Christmas is coming and I need to get my cards ready, but I can't help but play around with my sets so sometimes I can sit all day and just do one card! Then I usually decide it's not good enough and start on a different one!

This is card uses a set called 'Snow Swirled' which I've had for ages and even though I have some new Christmas stamps I can't resist this gorgeous tree!

For my birthday my wonderful husband got me a few extra things.....Including this 'Stitched Stocking' set which has a matching punch, so no cutting out! Yay! These are a couple of note cards I made, measuring 5x7 cm, so they fit the scalloped envelope perfectly, they are so cute! 

Have you ever made something you like so much you don't want to give it away? Well I'm feeling a little possessive about this one. The girl, "Miss Anya", stamp is from Greeting Farm stamps, they are really cute. I coloured her with Copic markers, the best markers ever...and maybe the most expensive, but worth it, doesn't she look good? I distressed the edges of the paper with a fine sanding block made just for this purpose, so you can see the white of the paper coming through, an effect I quite like!

Thanks for looking and keep watch for more projects coming soon!!

Starting to think Christmas-y thoughts!!

When I saw Christmas decorations in the shop I couldn't believe it was that time of year again!!! It always creeps up so quick and I'm the girl at Chermside late at night 2 days before Christmas!!!

Maybe I will be a bit better this year........

I say that every year!

Well I started thinking about cards, so here is number 1! I made a little ornament too, just stamp, punch and stick! Looking forward to getting the New Stocking Set, just in time for more Christmas card making!
