Truckloads of Eggs

15 March, 2010 2 Comments

If your house is anything like mine then it tends to look like a Cadbury shop at Easter time!! We always say we buy too much and we wont buy so much next Easter but we always do!

I am going to try and buy just a couple of eggs and maybe throw in an iTunes or giftcard from Target or Big W or similar. So I might still ‘spend’ the same amount but make the gift a little more useful.  All I have to do is think chocolate and I put on a kilo! so doing the giftcards will be much better for everyone involved! Or maybe I’ll buy everyone a Gloria Jean’s giftcard and they can take me out for coffee!

Anyway … onto the card ….

I have borrowed this set from my lovely downline Jossleen for today’s Stamp A Stack. You’ll probably notice that the colours in this card are not one’s I’d normally choose but wanted to make a ‘boy’ Easter card for today’s Stamp A Stack and think its turned out quite well.

Recipe

Stamps: Loads of Love, Loads of Love Accessories
Papers: Pacific Point, Whisper White, Kiwi Kiss, Good Morning Sunshine DSP
Inks: Jet Black Stazon, Pacific Point, Basic Gray, Going Gray
Accessories: Stampin Write Markers (to colour eggs & sentiment), stapler, staples, Bashful Blue Grosgrain, Stampin Dimensionals, Small Tag Punch, Tag Punch

Hope the ladies like this one today!

Painted Easel

6 March, 2010 14 Comments

Hello!!  Well I knew it had been a while since I’d posted but I had thought it was days rather than weeks! I am so sorry – we’ve had so much happening and I havent been 100% but now with super-charged meds I should be on the road to recovery – well lets hope so cos they cost $70!

Its Saturday so time for another Utah Divas International Sketch Challenge and another lovely sketch from the lovely Carol. I looked and looked at this sketch until I worked out what to do – I know its not a hard sketch but I wanted to do something a little different and this is what I came up with …

It suddenly dawned on me that I could do an Easel Card and I’d done one of these for Christmas but not for a general card and since I am now creating classes for Mother’s Day gifts I thought why not turn this into a Mother’s Day card!

It also happens to be my Mum’s birthday on 1st April so I can easily make this card into a lovely birthday card just by changing the sentiment!  Mum has always loved hydrangeas and has always had at least one plant of them in her garden if not a row of them! I am sure she’s had them at every house she’s lived in.

I love these Easel cards as they are so so so easy to make and when someone receives one they just ooo and aaah over them!

Now so you can see how they stand here is an image of the side view of the card when standing.

These cards flatten out for easy posting too – you might just have to include instructions on how to stand them up and show them off!

Now we are continuing with the Sketch round so now hop over to Lori’s blog to see what wonderful creation she has made this week.

Now my lovely husband has to go in for cataract surgery on Monday so I will be out at the hospital with him all day but will try to be back posting regularly again for you – I actually have some projects I havent posted yet so thats a good thing. If you dont mind please say a prayer for him (and me) on Monday.

Egg-ceptional

15 February, 2010 5 Comments

 

With Easter in early April I was asked by one of my Stamp A Stack groups to make an Easter card. I dont have ‘Easter’ sets as such so started looking through my Stamps for a set to use.

Here is my Easter card which I’ve used the Wagon Full of Fun stamp set  from the Summer Mini Catalogue.

EggceptionalIt is a great set for a few different occasions and its a great one for water colouring or colouring in.

The eggs I’ve stamped straight onto Designer Series Papers then just coloured the patterned part of the eggs with my Stampin’ Write Markers.

Can you see the clouds in the sky??

I followed the tutorial from my good friend Gretchen Baron’s sponged clouds tutorial on her blog and if you’d like to know how to do the sky then I’m more than happy to come and do a demonstration to show you and your friends just how easy it is! 

I am starting Technique Classes in March with the first one being on 10th March. Places are limited so please make sure you book in early.

The wagon, eggs and duck are all cut out and mounted onto the grass/sky layer. Oh and a trick to cut out the wheels was to use my handy dandy 1/4” circle punch – they fit perfectly!

I do hope the ladies enjoy making this card today!
