Time

5 September, 2010 3 Comments

Time is one thing we all seem to crave yet can never get enough of!

I was so glad to see the Sense of Time stamp set included in the new 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalogue. Its a great set to use for cards for those males in our lives.  I’ve even seen some great feminine cards too and when I do find some ‘time’ I might make a couple.

This card today is one we will be making at tomorrow’s Stamp A Stack.

So Autumn

3 September, 2010 5 Comments

I’ve had a bit of a creative block lately and today it was nice to pull out some stamps and ink have the creative juices flowing.

Well it officially became Spring on Wednesday however the last two days its felt like Autumn again so I pulled out some Autumn colours as some customers have asked for ‘male’ cards.  I then decided that if I’m doing Autumn colours then I should use an ‘Autumn’ stamp set and there’s no better Autumn set than Autumn Days.

soautumn   I love this wheat stamp!

This is a very quick and easy card and you can adapt it for any occasion just by changing the sentiment.

The sentiment on this card is from the Sense of Time stamp set which I am glad to say is in the 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalogue.

Recipe:
Stamps: Autumn Days, Sanded, Sense of Time
Paper: Soft Suede, More Mustard, Always Artichoke, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla
Inks: More Mustard, Soft Suede, Always Artichoke
Accessories: 1 1/4″ square punch, 1 3/8″ square Punch, Sponge Daubers, Crimper, Stampin Dimensionals.

Birthday Medallion

12 August, 2010 5 Comments

Today is my hubby’s birthday so I thought I’d break out the Medallion stamp and create something ‘manly’ for him.

I was given the Medallion stamp some time ago and just havent had the chance to play with it.  So I’m sure the girls will be glad to see me using it …….. finally!

I had an image in my mind of what I wanted the card to turn out like and it didnt really turn out as planned but Neil likes it and thats all that matters :)   Where would I be without sponging and tearing??  I am still not sure about this card so I may need to play with the design a little more when I have more time.  Why does it seem we are continually rushing here, there and everywhere?? I think I might need to plan us a little holiday sometime soon ;)

Well hubby had his favourite meal for dinner – Roast Beef and we made him a chocolate birthday cake so all in all a good day – now I’m off to spend some time with the Birthday Boy!

Timely Sketch Challenge

22 November, 2009 7 Comments

Time … well thats something that I dont have a lot of lately! DSC57

These past couple of weeks have been very busy for me and I’m grateful that after consulting my diary last night that I have a quiet week coming up. Maybe I’ll be able to find some time to do some Christmas Shopping or maybe I should just give everyone stamps??

Yesterday I attended Stampin’ Up! Regional Training in Sydney and I had the best time – I even managed to get all the make n takes made – the first time I’ve done this at a Stampin’ Up! event since joining. We used new stamps from the upcoming Summer Mini Catalogue and they are very cute to say the least and I’ll show you those projects during the next few days.

Here is this weeks sketch and here is my card …

DSC57I wanted to do a masculine card as I wanted a card to send my dad for his birthday.  Living over 1000 kilometres from my parents and sister make it hard to see them as often as I’d like so I like to make their cards a little more special.

I love the Sense of Time stamp set and havent used it as much as I’d like and I love collage stamping so I thought I’d combine the two for this Challenge. If you do like the Sense of Time stamp set then you’ll need to purchase it by the end of November as the Spring Mini Catalogue finishes  and this set will no longer be available after 30th November.

One of the requirements for this week’s sketch was to use window sheets but since we dont have them here in Australia I couldnt use them. Maybe we will get some in the Winter/Autumn Mini Catalogue due out in April 2010. I’ve seen lots of lovely things made with them and hope we get some too so we can play with them too!

This card has a few different techniques – Masking, Collage, Pastel (chalk) popping and sponging – all the things I love to do!

If you think you’d like a go at collage stamping then I would just love to show you how I do it so why not contact me for my Collage Class or Technique Class or I can come and do a demonstration for you and your friends. I guarantee you’ll all have a great time and enrich those friendships you already have.

Time for Collage

21 July, 2009 6 Comments

I was going to call this post “Male Sense of Time” but then realised they dont have any! Jusssssssssst kidding … I mean we’d be lost without them right? well lets make them think so at least ;)

concertinacover2Today I’m sharing a concertina card made using the new Sense of Time stamp set – this set will be in the upcoming Spring Mini Catalogue which will start on 1st August and go through to 30th November.

The size of this little concertina card is 4×4 and I made it with Father’s Day in mind but didnt use the Father’s Day stamp in it so that those that wanted to give this card to another male other than their father then they can.

The ladies did this at last friday’s class and they all loved it and were rather happy with how the card turned out.

The striped paper I’ve used on the front is from the Urban Oasis Designer Series Paper pack. The stamps used in this card are all from the Sense of Time stamp set and the Organic Grace Hostess set (Level 1).

The card opens up with four panels in a concertina style.

concertinaInside

All images are stamped randomly and I started with stamping the clock faces first then filled in the gaps. There is room for writing on the back of the card and it all ties up with some Chocolate Chip Taffeta Ribbon.

I really enjoyed creating this card and I enjoyed sharing it with my class last week.

Would you like to make this card?

Then contact me today and book your demonstration in and I will come to you and show you and your friends how to make this card and you’ll see just how easy it is to create something special for that special man.

Dont forget to ask about my “Stampin’ Up!® Birthday” specials for August – its my Stampin Up birthday in August and my customers and hostesses get the presents! So stay tuned for that one!
