Happy Birthday Darelle

Here I used an on board letter 'D', Hodgepodge Hardware and the new square scallop punch from the Summer mini catalogue (available from 1st December). The ribbon and main cardstock is Blue Bayou and the red cardstock and red ink, which is actually a marker, is Ruby Red.
A card with a matching gift box for a special girl!

Queensland Girls Celebrate

Dakota and Kiarra received belated birthday cards and matching bookmarks and Shania's was early. Terrible organisation but we do adore those girls!!







The Spring Mini catalogue is all about to run out on 30th November and contains the cherry stamp (from the set Tart & Tangy) and the cherry paper.

The bookmark is made using Glossy White cardstock and simply stamped directly onto it. The cherries were stamped using red and green markers which can be purchased individually until 30th November. I used eyelets at the top and threaded the matching ribbon through. I added a 'wish big' greeting which was cut out using the large oval punch.

Better Homes and Gardens

Tonight, I got to watch a little of Better Homes & Gardens where they showed us how to use our stamps with fabric paint onto fabric. If you would like any handy hints on this technique or if you are wanting to stamp directly onto your walls or if you would like a little technique booklet then please just ask me.

The program showed a large French script stamp. I was thrilled to see the craft shop price they mentioned to be able to pick up a stamp like that - the Stampin' Up! stamp that is similar (in my opinion - better!) and is much cheaper. The SU Background stamps are on page 107 and 108 of the 2008-2009 Ideas Book and Catalogue. Take a look.

Best Friends

I made these cards for some good friends recently. One went to the gorgeous Donna and the others to the terrific girls in my Mothers' Group after a sensational camping weekend!
