Wax Paper Resist

hi there,

yesterday I taught a technique class and we did wax paper resist. I used the new in Colour Wisteria Wonder with Concord Crush. I also used a new hostess set called Simply Soft. It will be available on September 1st.

I made 2 cards. One using the ovals die and the other a rectangle. Here they are. What do you think?

I love these flowers. Thanks for stopping by. Have a good week.

My gifts from camp.

I just remembered that I haven't shown you the gift I made for the camp swap and also the one I received. 

I decided to decorate a bag that I had covered in Basic black card. I used some red roses that I had made previously and added some die cut little leaves. I put some samples of Stampin Up product inside. 

When it came to my turn to choose a gift I was so happy to get this gorgeous box made by Pat Carr. I love it and she taught me how to make the box as well so an added bonus. I now must get the mini milk carton die.

happy Sunday to you all and thanks for dropping by.

Sale-a-bration Case

Hello there. It is a beautiful sunny day here in Perth. Spring is just around the corner and I am looking forward to all the lovely flowers blooming.

I have been meaning to post some more on my blog all week and here we are back to the weekend and I haven't achieved that. Anyway here are 2 cards for you to see that I cased while at camp. My friend Shelly had a couple of cards with her that she had made while visiting the US. I haven't used my Sale-a-bration sets much so thought it was a good time to do so. 

The first card is made with Bliss. I haven't put a greeting on yet.

The second card is made using Sweet Summer. Now that I have used these sets I must make some more cards with them. My photography isn't the greatest.
 

Well I am off to make more samples for my launch of the new Idea Book and Catalogue which I am holding next Saturday. I hope to show you some more cards before then. have a wonderful weekend.

and still more...

hi again, I have some more of the cards I made over the last weekend at camp. This first one is made using The flower punch and the For you stamp. This one is by Richelle. I added an extra layer using the circle punch.

the next card is by Tracey from Manjimup. This card had a different opening and I will add another pic to show it open.

All the other cards I will have to get photos of, so I can show you. I will come back and show you some more later. have a good week.

and more swaps....

back again with more cards. First one made by Karen. It is a nice bright card using Sweet and Sour specialty paper.

next is one by Lynda. The background is the wax paper resist technique. I also learned that you can use whisper white for this technique when I always thought it had to be glossy card.

another card I made was this great kids card by Marthea. I changed the layout around a little and now think I should have left it how it was but its still ok.

last today is a card by Pat Carr. She makes lovely punched cards. I changed the face of the panda a little and gave him a mouth.

that's all for today. Stop by again tomorrow for more.

Shoe Box Swaps and other cards made.

finally here to show you some of the cards I made over the weekend. I didnt get to make all the swaps and also changed some of the cards just slightly. I did get the kits for the other cards but still haven't made them up. Ive been having a lazy week. The first card I made is using a new set coming in the new catalogue. I wanted to use the buttons and ribbon I had received from the promotion last month. I made 2 different cards and then a third using a sketch challenge. The top photo is my first 2 cards trying different colours. I used the new stamp set Button Buddies. I love this vase.

the next card is a sneek peek from the upcoming IB&C made by my niece Amy's using the new set Button Buddies. I love this card and even though Amy doesn't normally like cutting out she had heaps of it on this card.

this next card is one by Michelle Cocking. I love this set and the colours were great. She used the colour blocking technique using the acrylic block.

the next cards was one made by Jo Chester. She had designed this as an invite to her sons birthday party. It is a great kids card.

Ill come back with some more tomorrow. Hope you are having a good weekend
