A precious baby!

Today's card has been inspired by the birth of a friends baby boy!

I bought this gorgeous little Cookie Monster jumpsuit for this little man and decided that I would make the card using the same colour. So here it is!

I love the striking-ness of the white. It seems so crisp and clean! I then thought that it needed just a tad more colour so added the Yoyo Yellow! I used the circle scissors to built the centrepiece of this card. It was so quick and easy!

Anyway I am a bit behind with jobs today, so I'll keep this short and get on with the ingredients!

Card: Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise
Ink: Tempting Turquoise, Taken With Teal, Yoyo Yellow
Punches: Scallop Circle, Scallop Square
Stamp Sets: All In The Family, Fun and Fast Notes, Say It With Scallops

Till next time, happy stamping...

A moving card.....

Well, this isn't a card about moving.... but it does have moving parts.

As you may be aware, I have recently been away to attend my brothers wedding. Now the bride and groom aren't totally traditional, to say the least. So I thought a quirky humorous card would suit them better.


I got the tutorial to make a moving card like this from the last Ustamp I attended. This card design was submitted by the very talented, Lynn Pratt. Lynn's instructions ended a little further ahead than mine, she had boy + girl + love = baby. Obviously there a lots of different images you can use to create different outcomes.

As you can see below, I used boy + girl + love = wedding cake. I really enjoyed making these little pictures. The cake I used from Fun and Fast Notes. Instead of inking up the whole stamp, I chose one cake and only inked it up.


Now you are probably thinking what a strange colour combination. Well it was a challenge set by the Yahoo group Stampin_Up_In_Oz. Definitely not colours I would normally choose for a wedding card, but they did look great together. And I enjoyed colouring in with my Stampin' Write Markers.

Card: Real Red, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
Ink: Basic Black, Real Red, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, So Saffron
Punch: Scallop Edge Border, 1 3/4" Circle
Embellishments: Earth Elements Brad
Stamp Sets: Illuminations, All in the Family, Simply Said, Fun and Fast Notes

Till next time, happy stamping...

The contents of the box revealed

Now I know that I have been gone for over a fortnight, and the suspense may have been killing you. The box in the previous post, was the final parcel to my Secret Sister. Her name was Kim Conway and I really enjoyed thinking of new things to make for her.

So the first thing to show you is this fantastic stationary box. I made this using the "I Wish" Simply Scrappin Kit.


I followed the tutorial by Jackie Topa. It was quite simple to make and a lot of fun.

Using the Simply Scrappin Kit I was able to make a heap of cards, tags and love notes to go in this box. I honestly think that is a fabulous idea for a gift for the person who you don't know what to buy.


Kim has a bundle of kids, so I made them all an individual little pocket, with a personalised tag on the front, with a freddo frog in it.

I originally bought the "All In The Family" stamp set before I even joined SU, but hadn't quite worked out how to use it. Now that I have my trusty Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, I was able to put these little tags together quite quickly.


And of course, we couldn't forget a choccie for Mum and Dad, so I whipped up this cute little toblerone case.


And finally my favourite thing in the box. Yet another waterfall card. I love them. This one was made using the Walk In The Park DSP and co-ordinating Great Friend stamp set from the Spring mini.

I used the Build-A-Brads for this project and I love them. They finish a project off beautifully.



So there you go. That was what was in the box for my SS. I hope you enjoyed unveiling these all as you read down the post, as much as I enjoyed making them.

I will be back soon with some more of my creations from the last three months.

Till next time, happy stamping...
