Some more Workshop Samples

Here are two 7 X 7 scrapbook pages that I did last year using products from the Summer Mini Catalogue. Most of the things from this catalogue are due to retire at the end of March (somethings may make it into the new catalogue but we wont know what till it is released). So if there is something you like you need to order it this month or you may miss out.

Colours - Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Groovy Guava (in colour) and Soft Sky (in colour).

Stamps - Time for you, Friendly Flowers, Live Your Dream.

Designer Paper - Afternoon Tea DSP

Accessories - Blender pen, Basic Brown ink pad, snail adhesive, chocolate chip marker (for journaling)

Punches - Scallop Circle, Oval, Photo Corners, Scallop Edge and 1 3/8 Circle punches.

You are still able to get the in colour ink pads (reduced to $7.46) and some of the card stock but they won't last long (river rock and soft sky A4 packs are now sold out).

Card Box Set

This is a gift I made for a friend of mine last year for her birthday. I made it in November but never put it up on my blog so I thought I would show you now. Better late than never! It uses a lot of items that are in the Summer Mini Catalogue as well as some of the In Colours that will be retiring soon. I have heard that 4 of the 6 In Colour Ink Refills are on back order so if you need In Colour items you would be better off ordering them before the end of February so they are not already sold out by the time the retire list comes out.The card box contains 4 cards with matching envelopes and 3 gift tags. The designer paper is Afternoon Tea DSP from the Summer mini. The stamps I have used to make this card box and cards are Live Your Dream, Friendly Flowers, Say it with Scallops, Occasional Greetings and Sincere Salutations. The punches are Scallop Edge, corner rounder, the two squares, large and small oval and small star Punches (I used the creative memories tag punch to make the gift tags). The colours I have used are Soft Sky, Groovy Guava, Wild Wasabi, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White.

If you are interested in making something similar to this and have a group of about 5-6 people why don't you contact me and book a class.

I'm Back......Did you miss me?

Well here I am. Yes I know I have been gone for a long time but I will try and make up for it. I had two workshops last week both using the same cards so here they are.

In this card I have used the flower stamp from the Eastern Blooms Set and stamped in in regal rose and rose red. I have then punched it out using the 5 petal flower punch and layered them on top of each other (I didn't come up with this great idea, I saw this nifty trick here http://www.marelletaylor.com/2009/01/not-me.html.). I then put a dimensional in the centre of the flower and dipped it in dazzling diamonds (also an idea from the talented Marelle http://www.marelletaylor.com/2007/12/bud-basics-bling.html.)
The branch with little flowers was coloured directly onto the rubber using chocolate chip, rose red and regal rose markers and stamped on whisper white CS and the small flower on the background has been stamped using versamark. The patterned paper is from Bali Breeze DSP in the Summer Mini. To get the sentiment just where I wanted it I used my Stamp-a-majig! (The curvy edge was made using a Creative Memories Curvy Cutter).
For this card I have again used markers to colour directly onto the rubber. The colours are Ruby Red, Old Olive and Cameo Coral and I have used the Summer Mini set Live Your Dream (which is one of the bushfire appeal sets). The sentiment is from the say it in scallops Summer Mini set which i have inked up in cameo coral the rolled the edges in ruby red. I then stamped the small butterfly from the Live Your Dream set in the corner in ruby red then punched it all out using the scalloped square punch. I have used Craft CS for my card base and used the scalloped edge punch to make a decorative edge. The Designer paper I used here is from the Ginger Blossom DSP pack (also in the Summer Mini).
Well I hope you liked these cards. Remember that there is only 4 more days to take advantage of Sale-A-bration so get your orders in to get your free sale set.
