A 21st Birthday Card

 I made this birthday card for my niece to give to a friend using a file from SVGcuts and Stampin' Up! designer paper, cardstock and stamps.

A New Addition!

Congratulations to one of my Stampin' Up! ladies, Emma and her husband Todd on their recent birth of a bouncing baby boy, Cooper.

Inspired by the halloween curvy keepsake boxes, I made a "Baby" box as a gift for Emma.  I hope she likes it. My lighting wasn't quite as I wanted it, but there was no time to take proper photos of it before my workshop.  Doesn't it look adorable?  They would make perfect additions to a baby shower.

Too early for Christmas?

The end of the year is drawing closer and Christmas will be here before you know it, so during a week off up in Port Macquarie, I took along some supplies and started working on my Christmas cards which I send to friends and family.

I've decided to use the Partridge and Pears Stamp Set along with some of the new Blendabilities as well as some coloured markers.


I also got my Club SUM ladies to make a Christmas card using this stamp set and will post a pic of the card when I get some time.

To Halloween or Not?

Here in Australia, Halloween is not quite as big as it is in the States, but I do like the cool characters and fun that is associated with Halloween, such as dressing up and the treats, so for a workshop I just held, I made some cool looking curvy boxes featuring some of the more easily recognisable characters, filled with chocolate treats to give as a goodie bag.
Having come across these designs in Pinterest, I decided I would try my hand at making some of them, so I give credit to all those before me, especially Darla Watson, who posted and shared their creations on Pinterest.
I did adapt some as well, but they are all made using the Curvy Keepsake Box
Thinlits Die and a variety of Stampin' Up! punches and cardstock as well as some left over yarn.
I added a "Good to the Last Bite" tag from the Merry Everything stamp set with some ribbon to finish off the gift boxes. And here they are with the Halloween chocolate Lindt delights.  It looks like the "Mummy" is eyeing the chocolate.
