'Men Only' best dressed punch art for men

Hi all, it's been a very quiet week for me but that's not always a bad thing :) Beth has started her prac teaching and is loving it! a bit strange making lunches for the kids and the teacher lol but each day has bought some exciting and funny things to see hear and learn for her and its been good to hear each day unfold. Our son just got his green P plates for the car which we were all very proud of and our youngest daughter has just had her Pomeranian dog mated so we are hoping to hear the pitter patter of lots of tiny feet soon!
Its been a very wet day here which has given me time indoors to finish my 'Men Only' best dressed punch art set! a set Ive been working on for a while now. This set is for sale and you will get the instructions to make 10 different looking punch art men. You will make the base man and then different clothes, hats etc to add to him. A great way to spice up those masculine cards that are always so hard to figure out! Fathers day is coming up soon in September ;) These are all made with Stampin Up punches and are very fun and easy to make! all the supplies can me purchased here through me.


If you know someone who struggles with ideas for making men's cards then why not make them a gift box with all the pieces inside! This is a simple mini pizza box that i have used here for mine. If you love punch art then you won't be disappointed! enjoy....
Blessings to you

Doctor Who fans!!! Making a Dalek card....

Hi all, where dose time go? our son just turned 18 on the weekend and we are so proud of how he is maturing into a beautiful young man! It was so hard though to find a present for him as he's had a job now for some time so he has all the latest technical toys but hes always wanted a deep fryer as i normally don't cook like this so that's one of the things we got for him and he loved it! you can guess what we had for tea last night..... wedges chicko rolls and deep fried mars bars! oh dear... looks like a long ride on the bike for me today! He had a great day we went out for Chinese with all his friends. Ben is a big Doctor Who fan and you may remember the Tardis card i made for him on his 16th birthday. This time i made him a Dalek cake and card.
You will love this Dalek card pattern, it will be for sale here and i can guarantee it will be a big hit for all those special people in your lives! plus you can view the step by step video below and see how to put this together!

Patient.

Genuine love recognizes that all human beings are fallible;
it is long suffering; patient with the faults of others,
their failings and weaknesses; and enables
us to be calm when faced with trials.

making a gift box envelope for those bulky punch art cards

Hi again so soon ! I had an email from a lady called Cindy...Hi Cindy! asking me for some ideas as to how she could give her fuchsia card she had just made from my instructions without getting it squashed in a regular envelope...soooo i came up with this gift box envelope which i think will work well :) I wouldn't send this through the post though! this was an idea that you could use without taping your card directly to the present. I used a regular A4 size card in stampin up craft. On the horizontal i scored it at 2', 3', 71/2' and 81/2' and on the vertical i scored it 1' flipped it and score the opposite side at 1'. Cut each mark in to the 1' score on both sides of the vertical. the larger flat is the base of the box, glue those flaps closed. The smaller flat is to be left un glued so you can open it properly.....just tie this with a pretty ribbon to keep it closed! this pattern will help plus watch the video! :) hope this has helped. all these products bar the score pal can be purchased through me. Or if you live in the Nambucca Valley area and would like to do this as a workshop please contact me.

Fuchsia punch art card

Hi all, its been a very quiet week here with our kids away but they are back today and had a great time with 17 kids for the week....they and the kids were truly blest! we went up on the Thursday and cooked 18 home made pizzas for the team with our cool pizza oven and they loved it! good job guys!! so proud of the service you have done for others in another community.
I wanted to show you a fuchsia card I made some weeks ago but haven't got round to putting it on. This was pretty easy to make and I wanted to stick to all stampin up punches to do it. I used the following stampin up punches:

2 of the 5 petal flower for the main petals and petal leaves.
2 scallop ovals, glued side by side then rolled for the long trumpet part in the center.
Boho punch, the largest flower to make part of the green petals near the stem
2 large hearts for the leaves
the stamens were done the same way i made the lily stamens
then just a thin strip for the stalk :)
Real red ink for the flower and the leaves
All these products can be ordered here through me :)

enjoy! :)

Christmas in July, punch art Bauble

Hi all, its been so cold here!!!! our town has sold out of hot water bottles! we've been using one each night to go to bed and were wanting to get 3 more for our kids, they have gone to a smaller town an hour from here to do STORM CO. (service to others really matters) they run a kids club with crafts, clowning, games, puppets, music etc.. for a week of the school holidays and do a community service in the afternoons, this year its cleaning up the hospital gardens. So they are going to freeze!! but i know God will bless both them and the families that attend. Good on ya guys! I have also been working hard to update my blog.....you will notice lots of new things to look at ( the header pic is my tiny studio where i hang out and create, and i have all my links in the top tabs plus stampin ups stuff down the new left side bar which my son helped me work out...Thanks Ben your a gem!!)and i hope you like and enjoy my new look blog...any who what you read next will be a laugh for all you American stampin up ladies. We don't have the bauble punch here in our catalogues hopefully soon in our new cat. in September so i came up with this version of the bauble punch but the laughable thing is that it takes 5 punches to make your 1 bauble punch .....that's ok this is for the Australian ladies or those who don't have that great punch yet!
so Ive made mine with stampin ups.....

large heart
Wide oval
scallop oval
large oval
spiral (1 section)

Ive layered the heart on top of the wide oval making sure the side are matching in shape, add the one section from the spiral punch for the hanger then ran this through the emboss folder, layered over the top of the heart is the scallop oval then the large oval with a stamped message. Added some crystal effects to the scallops and some glitter.


So this is my Stampin up attempt to do a Christmas card without having any Christmas punches or stamp sets yet (besides a few sayings) .....i hope you Australian ladies will enjoy this as we wait for this beautiful punch to arrive on our soil! enjoy :)
Blessings to you

how to make a Book easel card

Hi all, the last few days here have been a bit frustrating as our daughter was so glad to be back to the mothership as she calls it she watched 3 weeks worth of master chef on line and put us back to dial up......... grrr ...so... waiting for the 5 days to clock over before its back to broad band seemed like eternity but it wasn't and we got other things done ! including mountain bike riding, bats chasing us on the bikes...scary! and some new projects to add to my blog :) I made this book easel card some time ago and decided to do a tutorial on how i made it. You will need the Labels seven die set from spellbinders or you could cut your own templates.

Cut yourself a base card stock 13 X11 cm this worked good as it made the card look bigger as the largest die isn't big enough in its self for the card...unless you want a small card. I used the 3 largest dies for this project. 1 largest die for the book cover and the next 2 smaller ones one in very vanilla and the other in whisper white for the pages. Watch the video for all the finer details on how this was made. here are some more angles and another version..

and a last thought

The whole bible was given to us
by inspiration from God and is
useful to teach us what is true
and to make us realize what is wrong
in our lives; it straightens us out and
helps us to do what is right. It is Gods way
of making us well prepared at every
point, fully equipped to do good to everyone.

2 Timothy 3:16-17

Angel punch art.....come on Christmas isn't the only time to see angels!!

Hi all, I'm sure you all have at least one angel in your life! you know the person who is just there for you no matter what! the person who looks past all the crap you dish out and See's you for who you really are, even the person who gave you a smile today when you really needed it and you don't even know them. These are the angels that God brings into our lives to lift us and reflect his love to us! This was my inspiration for this cute little punch art angel today. We also have our daughter home from Uni for the next 6 weeks !! so happy to see her :) she will be doing 2 weeks of her first in school prac during this time. I got interrupted so many times doing this video our youngest daughter was outside my window pulling faces at me then the parcel guy turns up .......ahhhh! it was funny though.
So to make this cute angel you will need some Stampin up punches which you can order through me here!

1 Large Tag punch for the dress and sleeves. 3 extra if you are mounting on clouds.
2 one and 1/4' circle punch, one for the head and one for the hair.
3 scallop ovals, 2 for the wings and one for the skirt frill (optional).
1 of the smallest flowers cut in half from the Bo Ho blossoms punch for the hands.
an embossing stylus, some crystal effects and some glitter for detail on the wings.
card stock was apricot appeal, very vanilla and whisper white.
inks used for sponging were more mustard, so saffron, pretty in pink for the cheeks & bashful blue for the clouds.
Fine black marker for the eyes

in the below pic Ive shown the double punching for the hair and where to cut on the tag punch for the dress, don't throw out the scrap from this as it then becomes the sleeves! I love finding ways to used the bits that you cut off! :)

Glue all the pieces together starting at the hands. I embossed lines in the wings then added the crystal effects and glitter to finish. One thing i forgot to mention in the video was i sponged pretty in pink with a sponge dauber for the cheeks. I think she turned out pretty cute! and an idea that can be used for any time not just Christmas!........enjoy
Blessings to you

Don't forget to be kind to strangers,
