Fresh Cuts Class

Morning All! Its been a few busy days after my return from Convention and still trying to get back to the swing of things – Convention was the best I’ve been to and miss all my friends (new and old) from there. It just goes so quickly and with over 400 attending this year it was hard to see everyone I wanted to and spend some quality with them :(

freshcuts5boxHere’s a little set I designed as a gift but have showed my regular Stamp A Stack girls and they all loved it so much they too want to make a set so its now a class … and I have a very special “Fresh” offer for you to make sure you keep reading!

Here we have the little box it comes in. Its very cute and very easy to make and I followed the Easy Box tutorial on Paula Goff’s blog.

I’ve just stamped the collage image in black and then daubered pastels over the top. The sentiment is then stamped and I’ve used the Small Oval and Oval punches to layer it.freshcuts5boxside

Here’s a side view of the box with the cards inside.

As you can see the fresh cuts notes & envelopes fit perfectly inside!  The ribbon just secures everything inside.

I’ve then made five little Fresh Cuts Notes all the same but just changed the colours for each one and stamped on the envelopes so they all match.

Here’s the set of cards

freshcuts5set

How cute are they?? These really are easy and fun to do! I’ve also used the 5 Petal Flower punch to add an extra flower into the card and have inserted behind the die-cut flower of the note.  This set only uses the one stamp set – Fresh Cuts. Its such a versatile stamp set and combined with the Fresh Cuts Notes it makes for a quick and easy card or gift. I think these turn out quite elegant as well.

Fresh Cut Bling

I’ve been busy taking out all my old DSP papers and putting in the new ones as well as taking out the old In Colour Cardstock and putting in the lovely new In Colours.

Now I have a mountain of retired DSP and In Colour cardstock and scraps that needs a new home so if youre after some please contact me as hubby is sick of all the boxes everywhere :(

artichokeblingcuts-envieI made this card the other week for the make n take at a demonstration. My hostess asked for Fresh Cuts with bling so thats what she got!!

You cant see the bling too well in the photo but the small flower from the Fresh Cuts set is stamped in Mellow Moss then covered with glue from the 2 way glue pen and dazzling diamonds sprinkled all over.

We had to wait for it to dry before we pierced a hole in the centre then put a rhinestone brad through the centre – we also put the brads backs through the white note layer to secure it firmly and as we have a Mellow Moss layer in the middle of the card you cant see the back of the brad.

artichokeblingcuts-inside

Inside the card we stamped the ferny leaf stamp down the right hand side of the inside of the note as you can see here.

The mellow moss piece is stamped with the collage image and then adhered to the inside of the card as shown so you still have the right side of the note to write a message on.

The taffeta ribbon is tied around the card so it covers the start of the mellow moss piece and is knotted at the front of the card.

artichokeblingcuts-sideonThe sides of the mellow moss insert and front of the fresh cuts are both torn on the right hand side so when the card is closed you can see the three layers of the card.

This last picture shows the three layers and you can actually see the centre flower a bit better here.

Now I’d better get back to my sorting so I can then make some more cards and samples to share with you!

Dont forget to check out the retired stamps I have for sale on my Stamp Clearance page and remember I now have all this Designer Series Paper to clear out as well.

Have a great Easter and remember a balanced diet is one with a chocolate in each hand!!

Fresh Cuts and Notes

I am so very happy that we have the Fresh Cuts stamp set and Fresh Cuts notes in the very new 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalogue. When I first saw this duo released in USA I loved it and I’m loving it even more now we have it!!

How nice is this stamp set?? The Notes are very reasonably priced at $17.50 for 15 notes and envelopes. The stamp set and notes compliment each other so well and using them to make cards is so quick and easy! These Notes will also make an awesome little gift in a box or bag and I am designing just this for a class so keep an eye out for that!

Here are a couple of samples I’ve made using the notes and stamp set …

Recipe:

Stamps: Fresh Cuts stamp set
Paper: Fresh Cuts Notes, Pacific Point
Inks: Whisper White Craft Ink, Baja Breeze Classic Ink, Pacific Point Classic Ink
Accessories: Brads, Bashful Blue Taffeta Ribbon, sponge daubers

I used the Whisper White Craft ink to stamp the collage image onto the Pacific Point cardstock and layerd this behind the front of the card. The white on the blue gives it a nice effect and also prevents the card from having ‘too much’ white.

I’ve also stamped the small flower in Whisper White craft ink onto Pacific Point cardstock then cut it out and secured it with a brad just through the flower and front layer of the card.

pinkmosscutsRecipe:

Stamps: Fresh Cuts stamp set
Paper: Fresh Cuts Notes, Pink Pirouette
Inks: Mellow Moss Classic Ink, Pretty in Pink Classic Ink
Accessories: Brads, Pretty in Pink Taffeta Ribbon

I stamped the collage image in Mellow Moss onto front of the card. Then stamped the collage stamp again onto Pink Pirouette cardstock in Pretty in Pink. The flower is Pretty in Pink on Whisper White. Again cut out and layered onto front of card with a brad.

Makes for a pretty feminine card.

I do apologise for not posting these the other day when promised – I ended up with a bad headache and had to go lie down for a few hours. I’m all good now and we think we’ve worked out the cause of my recent headaches so time will tell if we are right or wrong.

On another note, I have a neat new mobile phone and new mobile phone number so if you didnt receive an email today make sure you get the new number from the sidebar or contact page.

Have a great afternoon!! Time for a latte and to put my feet up before the kids get home from school.
