Easter Card Kit

Hello!

Had a bit of fun making these.
They are only $14.95 for the kit. I have only made 4 cards out of everything that you get but you will be able to make quite a few more cards with all the left over cardstock.
This is what you will receive in your kit:

• 1 x Bunny Brad
• 2 x Ovals
• 1 x Strip of Sentiments
• 3 x A4 White Card
• 1 x A4 Orange Card
• 1 x A4 Brown Card
• 5 x 12x12 Assorted Coloured Card Stock
• 2 x ½ mt Ribbon
• 3 x Stickers
• 1 x Flower
• 1 x Printed Colour Copy of the Cards
  
  We only have 10 kits available. If you would like one please e-mail or phone us back.
  
  I must be honest, I saw this little chicken on this web-site and copied him.

• The brown cardstock is 9.5cm x 13.5cm. I cut the grass myself with a pair of scissors.
• The Chicken is an oval that I have cut the bottom off, the wings are 3/4" wide and I put them thru my 2" scallop punch. You could cut little scallops on his wings, you don't really need the punch. Make sure you fold his arms on an angle. When you are putting him together.
• The beak is a square folded in half.
• The eyes are punched out circles in black and white, if I had had google eyes I think they would have looked cute. I have used a white gel pen on his eyes as well.
• The feet are cut out of orange card.
• The crest on the top of the chicken is also hand cut.
• Now it hasn't come out very well in my scan but I have inked the edge of the oval and his wings & the crest.
• The corners are hand cut - I really need to buy myself a punch - are are up on foam.
• The Happy Easter is also on foam.
  

• The pink card is 13.5cm x 9.5cm
• The white card is 13cm x 9cm
• The pink card is 4.5cm x 11.5cm
• The white card is 4cm x 11cm
• The pink card is 4.5cm x 8.5cm
• The white card is 4cm x 8cm
• The flower is up on foam tape and has a 1" circle in the middle of it with the Bunny Brad
• The ribbon is wrapped around the cardstock and tied in a knot.
• Again I hand cut my corner.
• The Happy Easter is mounted on pink card. The panel that it is stuck to is up on foam.
• I used Kindy Glitz on the flower and on the corner.

I am not a huge sticker fan but these do look nice.

• The flower stickers are placed on the oval.
• The Happy Easer is up on foam on the yellow card then this is on foam as well on the oval.
• The yellow card is 13.5cm x 9.5cm
  

I found this card on this web-site as well and really loved it but didn't have any of the stamps so I used stickers.

• The black card is 12cm x 5cm
• The green card is 11.5cm x 4.5cm
• The black card is 7.5cm x 5.5cm
• The pink card is 7cm x 5cm
• The black card is 7cm x 5.5cm
• The white card is 6.5cm x 5cm
• The Happy Easter is matted on the black card
• Don't forget to put your ribbon on the middle piece
• Everything on the card is mounted flat except for the Happy Easter and the flower in the top right hand corner.

Have a wonderful night - we hope to see you soon!

Pear Stamps

Hello!

A wonderful customer named Shirley lent me her "Pear" stamps for me to make cards with.
I hope she likes what I've done...




I will be teaching these on Wednesday 11th at 11:30am - book now!

2 New Cards & Opalites

Hello! It is Tamara here and I just wanted to share some cards I have made with you.

I was inspired by the card that Kathleen created yesterday and copied her a little to create this card. I am not a technique girl like Kathleen and our other cardmakers but I did really like how she coloured parts of the stamped image with a watercolour crayon so that was the bit that I copied. I have made this card out of plain white cardstock (which you know I love to do). I have coloured the edge of the cardstock that I stamped on with a blue watercolour crayon to match the colouring on the stamped image.

I made the next card using the Opalite stamp pads that are very popular at the moment.

I ran some black card through the Cuttlebug and then inked the raised parts with the Opalite stamp pad (Cypress Frost). I also stamped with this colour. The Opalites work really well on black cardstock (if you stamped them on white card they would just come out like a white ink which can look good too but I prefer them on the darker card). If you would like a demo of these gorgeous stamp pads just drop into the shop and ask us - we would love to show you!

Distress Stamp Pads

Hello!

I just made this today. I think it's really pretty. I can't decide if it's going to be in Fridays Ten Cards for $20 or if it will be in with the Saturday morning class.

I stamped the bird image from an Inkadinkado Stamp Set called Nostalgia. These stamps are fantastic - could just be that they are my new favourite toy - but I really do like them.

I stamped the bird image in Versafine Onyx Black then embossed it in clear. I have coloured in the image with water colour crayons - love these. Then I used a Versamark Pen over this and then embossed it again with clear embossing powder.

The verse is from a new stamp that set that we will hopefully have new stocks of by Monday it is also embossed.

I then stamped the swirl with Versamagic Cornucopia and embossed it in clear as well.
The whole background is sponged with Distress Stamp Pad Vintage Photo and then I sponged Fired Brick around the outside.

I made these on Monday with the above stamp set. Nothing too hard but I think they are pretty as well.

Five Card Kits!

Hello!

Did you miss me?

We have used these stamps on some of the cards below. These are not included in the kits but you can purchase them separately for only $16.50 each

These next four cards are from the Winged Wonders Card Kit. It is only $17.95

It comes with the Winged Wonders Stickers, 4 x A4 white cardstock, 1 x A4 coloured cardstock, 1 x Mira Chocolate Rose Flat Paper, 2 x gold round brads, 1 x A4 sheet of printed Birthday Greetings and a colour copy of the cards pictured below.

All my cards are 14.5cm x 21cm.

The patterned paper is cut to 10cm x 14cm. The white card is cut to 9cm x 13cm.

The sentiment is from the stamp set above and it is stamped with Versafine Black Onyx onto white cardstock. I then cut out around it then matted it onto the coloured A4 card and cut it out.

I am not a fan of glue I use double sided tape that is 6mm wide and I go from corner to corner to make sure nothing lifts. I have been using this tape for over 4 years and as yet I have never had a project fall apart. If I do have to use glue I only use Dimensional Magic or Glossy Accents - why? because it's the best.

The A4 coloured card is cut to 10cm x 14cm. The patterned paper is cut to 9.5cm x 13.5cm. The white card is cut to 7.5cm x 11.5cm. I have again used the sentiment set pictured above and I have also stamped with Versafine Black Onyx on white card then cut it out and then put it on foam tape and then I matted it on the coloured cardstock.

The coloured card is 10cm x 14cm. The patterned paper is 9.5cm x 13.5cm and the white card is 7.5cm x 11.5cm. The "Happy Birthday" is cut from the sheet of greetings and then matted onto the coloured cardstock.

The green cardstock is 9.5cm x 13.5cm and this has also been thru the Cuttlebug on Devine Swirl. The white card is 6cm x 12cm, make sure you put your brads in now so that they don't show on the inside of the card. The white card is up on foam tape then I have adhered the chipboard element to it.
