May Creation No. 12

Last but not least, and again Thanks to Naomi elliot and Corrie for finding the spider web roller wheel!! I must say I have a personal asociation after being bitten by a red back a couple of years ago....yes, I survived!!! It hurt lots though!!! Soooo I added a tiny bit of glossy accents to the back of the spiders which are punched out of black gloss card using the new spider punch. I have cut a portion of the web and backed it onto Crimson cardstock, stamping the edges with the smaller net stamp and then I have mounted this onto jac paper (double sided sticker paper) leaving an even border. I have sprinkled red glitter around the border and then stuck onto the black Bazzill. To add the sentiment I have punched the Birthday Circle out and magic mounted it, again using red glitter on the B to highlight it and blend it in with the rest of the theme. Very happy with this card!! Great for boys birthdays and for someone who hates spiders I actually look at this card thinking the little spiders are actually cute. Not a word I generally associate to the fury little things!!!

Nearly done. Thanks to corrie for the inspiration to play with the Magic Stamps again. I used a wooden letter to impress the G and the Dusty Concord Distress Ink for the image. Used the Heidi Bazzill to mount the image then finished it off using the Girl Words and "Beautiful" which is my little girl in a nutshell!!! Very simple card and can be altered to any Letter and title to suit the subject. This stamped image would also look great in a Scrapbooking layout. I also did a toy truck and a couple of keyrings which liked great. I'll be playing with the magic stamps lots more!!!

May Creation No. 10

Okay so I did a demo recently and the girls wanted to use the rollergraph. It seems that that is the hottest product at the moment. So I had a play with the Baby Girl Jumbo wheel and the rosette ink from the old inks. Sorry I didn't have any of the ancient page ink cartridges at the time. Have lots now!!!! the card and tag literally take 4 rolls of the wheel while the lid for the box takes another 5-6. The most time consuming part is making the bow to attache to the top of the box. Thanks to Jonette and Ev for sharing this fantastic technique with me. And the boxes....no tape required!!! very simple. Will be submitting this one as a 2Hr W'shop. fingers crossed with this one!!! Need to make some minor alterations first to make it current Kaszazz range!! i ended up using the Card as the M&T for the workshop adn the girls all loved it!!

May Creation No. 9

Here's my May Card Swap that Corrie ran for TTD. The theme was embossing so I have use the black crafters ink and clear embossing powder to embos e the large flourish from the Love & Cherish Stamp Set. I have then used the square punch to stamps 4 corners out of the flourish and used these portions for the decorative part of the card. I have used the endearement mini messages for the wording and again my black permaball pen for the border. the rest of the card is black with the panel contrasted with the white Bazzill. I love the classic black & white, hope you do to. Oh by the way...thanks to the girls who helped me put them all together at the last minute!!! Many hands make light work!!!

May Creation No. 8

Yes, Finally a Scrapbook page. I took these photos during a recent girls weekend in Anglesea. It was great. I Absolutely LLOVE the colours in this page. I have never really looked at the Whirlpool Bazzill until now and I love it!! Kept it very simple using white with it and the Alphabet uncut stamps to make whatever title I wanted. This stamp set is great!!! Hope you like it.

May Creations No. 5

Here's my May card Swap for Karen's JWCC Workshop group. The theme this month was circles and I was very impressed with some of the cards that came back. You're all getting very creative!!!

Again I have used my black permaball marker to rule around the edges of both the white and the pink spots SB paper (Bella SB papers) and the circles have just been punched out using both the Whale and the medium sized punches, then I have decorated them with the black marker again.

I have re-discovered the K.I.S.S. theory....Keep It Simple Sweetheart!!! (I like sweetheart better than stupid!!) I have had lots of fun getting back to basics using SB papers, bazzil and punches!!
