Purple all the way...

Hi Crafters,

This is my second post in the last month yipee, getting things sorted now the little man is doing full days in kindy (which I'm LOVING!)

I had to create two cards within 30 minutes (as per normal leaving things to the last minute) for the same person yesterday who just loves the colour purple, so ask and I shall deliver...

 

Tools used:

Cardstock: Elegant Eggplant, Naturals White and Perfect Plum, Dies: Blossom Party Originals, Embossing folder: Lacy Brocade (Holiday cat) Punches:1 1/4 scallop, Extra Large Oval Extras: 1.6cm Flower Trim, basic pearls, Silver shimmer paper and Brads. Stamp Set: Well Scripted (retired)
Ink Pads: Elegant Eggplant.

I did have fun playing however next time (and I say this every time) I'm going to give myself more time to play.

NZSU MDS Challenge #1

I thought seeing as I up keep the NZSU site, I should really create something for the challenge I’ve set.
 

MDS is the newest tool to the Stampin Up Market and has made us all very excited. Not only is the price of the programme only $27.95 NZ dollars through me but it's packed full of Stampin Up stamps, punches, embellishments, and this is only to name a few.

 
I have created the below card for the challenge and that was to create a page or card using the three colours combination, Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight. I thought these colours would look great as a baby card. And as I’d love to have a little girl in my VERY male household why not create a pink one this time!

 

Not only does it give you the option to play with all the Stampin Up product but keeps a log of the items used.

 

If you want to know more about MDS drop me a line.

Playing with Lucky Limeade...

When I placed my order this month I over order the Lucky Limeade cardstock, but lucky for me it's one of my favourite colours, so I got to work this afternoon and created these cool kids cards.

Each one is using the stamp set "Dinoroar" pg 64 of the annual catalogue 

RRP $33.95 Clear / $40.95 Wood. 

I now have a few more cards for those just in case moments.

Week One

Lollies anyone?

Each year for the past three years I've been helping my cousins make Christmas stockings filled with lollies for the children in our family. However each stocking had been hand cut out and with 40 to do it became quite a chore for my Aunty. 

But with the introduction of the Holiday Stocking Bigz L Die I was able to cut out 41 stockings in less than half an hour, and with the help of my three year old; who loves playing with my Big Shot.

The Holiday Stocking Die is located on page 193 of our catalogue and retails at $67.95 NZ$.

I used the small chocolate's to stuff each stocking along with some hard and soft lollies. The mesh was only $6.30 for 2 meters and made 41 stockings.

Below is a picture of my three year old son having fun cutting out the stockings, plus the end results.
