Top note die Elf Shoes

Hi all just a quick post today showing you how i made those supper cute little elf shoes. This is not my original idea i have seen this a bit on other blogs, i thank Stanping with Jan where i first seen this done. You will need the top note die from stampin up or you may be able to use the labels eight set of nestabilites it would give you a slightly different shape though. punches are a 3/4" or 1" circle depending on how wide you want the legs to be and the large oval. Cilck here for an instruction sheet. Now sit back and enjoy a quick video tutorial :) enjoy

Top Note Die Elf Shoes

making a simple box card

Hi all, Ive had another workshop since i posted last and thought id share some more chrissy cards with you all. Plus i wanted to show you this neat box card. i first seen the instructions on stampingvideos and she had done this in a more origami style, still a great idea if you want to use those designer papers so pop over and check out her original version of this idea. Here's a pic of it open. I put some tags inside made with the Delightful Decorations stamp set from Stampin up. cool hey! :) you can download my version of the pattern here
Please note there has been some confusion of the dimensions of this card. I used a regular A4 card from stampin up to make this I then trimmed only a small amount off the length to make the over all size 11"x 8-3/8" or 21cm x 27.9cm. please also note i have had to learn inches to give these projects to you. I you are nedding these mesurements in centimeters the overall card size is 29cmx21cm on the landscape score at 6 1/2cm , 10 1/2cm , 18 1/2cm and 22 1/2cm flip it to portrait and score at 4cm and 17cm to make the V shape in the center you will place marks at 14 1/2cm on the landscape on either side .
so here are a few more cards ive been making....enjoy
Blessings to you

Christmas card workshops

Hi all sorry for not posting in a while i have been down at my parents place helping Mum while Dad has been in hospital. He had blood poisoning and they were concerned the streptococcus germ would attach itself to his pace maker wires. Fortunately it hasn't and he should be home today after a week in hospital.
A quick post today..... these are the cards I did for a workshop just before I went to Mums, the first one is a cute way of making a Christmas tree card but we added buttons on the front, the second is a fun set of elf shoes made with the top note die and some punches, the third is a side step card. The ladies had a great day and I'm book this Sunday for another class. any one in my local area who would like a fun few hours let me know.... enjoy :)

Making christmas holly berries/ Puppies/ and a JOB!!

Hi all, First i want to thank you all so very much for your thoughts and prayers, Dave has a job!! we are all really excited for him and thank God for answering so many prayers. He is working with the traffic control and is really enjoying the fact he gets to do something different each day, is out in the fresh air and sunshine and so far has met some really great blokes who just want to work. He just finished all the courses you need for this kind of work a week or so ago and this means he will get half the money back for the 4 courses and his shoes and pants paid for. We also had a generous offer form the school principal to pay our fees if Dave hadn't found work, God is so good. We have been reading the book "It's your time" by Joel Osteen and have found this so encouraging when pushing through doubtful thoughts. He really felt God had something for him this week and he had 3 phone calls from employees on the one day wanting him to work. God works in amazing ways and at a time that He knows is best. This whole experience has shown me also that we are not in control, God is. So thank you all again for all your support you have sent our way in emails prayers and thoughts i can really say they were felt and appreciated! :)
So now to the card. My aim was to make a Christmas card using the least Christmas type supplies eg stamps, punches and colours. Lets face it we only use those Christmas supplies once a year! so for that very reason I try not to buy too many Christmas supplies. So the colours for my card (from Stampin up) are Peach Parfait for the base with So Saffron and Old Olive borders. Inks used were Peach Parfait, Old Olive and Black. Stamps were the rose from Fifth Avenue Floral and sincere salutations punched with the scallop oval. The flower was made by Chat, from "Me my stamps and I" you can pop over to her blog and check out how she did these gorgeous flowers with the Fancy Flower punch. Ok so whats left is to show you is how i made the Holly berries .... and Christmas accents.

Using the 2 step bird punch from Stampin up I punch just the branch and trimmed away parts of the leaves so I was left with a bare branch look. Using a regular hole punch, punch 5 circles and glue to the branches. Cover the berries with a small amount of crystal effects and dip in some red glitter. last squirt a large blob of the crystal effects on each berry and let stand to dry. You can then use these in your flower sprays along with the holly leaf punch from Martha Stuart.


This is the glitter I used to create my fury tinsel border. Please don't ask where I got it ...it was ages ago but i would appreciate if anyone knows where i could get some more and maybe in different colours and shapes (small circles). I ran a generous line of tombo glue along the border and covered it with the glitter.... cute hey! :)


So i hope you have enjoyed this idea and can use it in your Christmas card making. For now Ive added some pics of those gorgeous puppies at 4 weeks old then sit back and enjoy the video.
Blessings to you

Free form flower lattice card

Hi all today is the most glorious spring day after Weeks of rain here.....an early morning walk in the sun dose wonders..... please keep praying for my husband hes has had some interviews which were really positive and our some has applied for some apprenticeships for next year. Our youngest daughter is looking at her options of whether to go on to yr 11 & 12 or start to do child care studies all of these will have big impacts on our family in lots of ways. Grannies house across the road is now occupied by new tenants which is so strange after so many years of knowing there is family close by but at the same time its a good feeling to see life again buzzing around her house.

Ok so i wanted to show you this free form lattice card ... this is first what i originally wanted to show you but got side stacked on the others. I found this video here which inspired this card in the first place and all the other ideas flowed from then. This card was embossed with the new folder from stampin up called Elegant lines Using the Labels 4 set from spellbinders nestibilities for the window(second largest die). Punches used were the 5 petal flower and the spring bouquet from stampin up with Bashful Blue ink sponged around the window and on all the flowers petals. The small flowers have tiny half pearls and larger ones have a blue button with larger half pearls in the center. You can purchase these stampin up products here.

Enjoy the video...Blessings to you

and a last thought from Gwenn(thankyou)

God is with me now, closer than breathing
and nearer than hands and feet. God
has made me for Himself. I come from God,
I belong to God, I go to God.
God knows me, loves me and has
a use for me now and forever.

Indian Inspired Lattice card

Ok so i think i am officially obsessed with these things! This one was with the Labels nine nestalilities dies and the shape reminds me of Indian buildings which suited this next play. Our daughter dose one of her teaching pracs over seas next year and India is one of the two choices, she was so excited to have this opportunity so it inspired me to make this card to encourage her to follow her dreams in life. I made this with basic grey but i think it may have looked nice in another colour?? This is meant to look like a garden wall in India with embossed pebbles or bubbles cuttlebug emboss folder sponged with choc chip ink......I printed a pic of some Indian buildings to tape inside (another idea which could be used in heaps of different ways) and decorated the front with vibrant coloured flowers as Ive seen in pictures from India.

Very basic flowers here nothing hard at all with the Boho blossoms and spring bouquet punches and 2 step bird punch leaves, then glitter and some diamonds around the window to finish.

So I hope you have enjoy yet another of these lattice cards..... and I must thank you all for the encouragement you send me through emails and comments ...they are all very much appreciated :) and keep me motivated.
Blessings to you

Another Christmas free form Lattice card

Another lattice card this time done with the Nestibilies Blossom Two set, the flowers are from the stampin up spring bouquet punch which is a retired punch but you could use another similar flower punch. Holly leaves are from Martha Stewart. You can see I placed a different colored insert in one of them which will give you a different look again and added some diamonds around the outside.

A few people have asked me how I would write in these cards..... well you could add an incert that could be taken out, add a flap insert which Marit mentioned, or you could just get creative and write round the shapes like mine.... You can just see the pencil marks i made to guide me and after i wrote the message i rubbed them out.


this is a card Yvonne sent me that she made and said i could share on my blog...love it!! :)


Find more details on my video...I hope you enjoy...
