Cool Kraft Boxes


 
I love the new SU Kraft boxes I have used the idea of extending the box with window sheet from Barb Bicknell a talented SU Demo. I have used champagne and silver glimmer paper with rhinestones. This box takes a 450gm box of roses chocolates I think about 4 or 4 don't quite fit (hehehe) I have also used the SU snowflake bigz die.
Only 11 more sleeps till santa comes!!

It took me a while but this is the finished product. I am quite happy how it turned out.

This is a card I have made for my brother Darcey's and his wife Amy's first child Grace. I have made a lovely exploding box album to go with it but have not sent it to Aussie where they live as they are visiting after xmas and then i can give it to them in person. I can't wait to meet this precious little girl.

Heartfelt Stampin Up (R) Event in Auckland



Wow Wow Wow that is what i have to say about the Heartfelt Stampin Up (R) event in Auckland last saturday. This lovely wreath was made by the very talented Sophie Zadeh. She demonstrated some lovely Xmas decorations using Stampin Up (R) products so I am really excited to have a go at making this sometime soon.

I am so amazed at the talent that we have here in New Zealand and with about 130 Demonstartors and guests attending this event I came away inspired so I have been busy when able doing lots of little things starting to think ahead for Christmas which my family is hosting this year.

We also so had demonstrate, the talents of Julia Leece, Sharlene Mayer and Barbara Bicknell. These ladies rock and their presentations were fab so watch this space as I recreate some of the things they showed us.

Triple Time Stamping

 
 
I love this technique that seems to have taken the stamping world by storm. Here is my take using the Summer Solstice set and my colours are Certain Celery, Perfect Plum and So Saffron with Whisper White.

If you are a Black Caps fan (I am) what a great win over India in the  Twenty/20 Cricket and great start before the world cup which starts next Wednesday.

Snow Flurry Bigz Die


I am really enjoying the Snow Flurry Bigz die and the Champagne Glimmer paper. This card also showcases the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing Folder using Very Vanilla Cardstock. I have also used Cherry Cobbler Cardstock and Seam Binding Ribbon. I am looking forward to this Saturday when lots of Stampin Up (R) Demonstrators and guests gather in Auckland (NZ) for our Heartfelt Event to learn and share.

Double swing card


Recieved my pre order goddies last week and I have been having a play. I found this delightful card template on someones blog (sorry did not note the name) Double Swing Card and thought i would have a go. I have used the following Stampin Up (R) items.

Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler and Champagne glitter paper.
Tools: Bigz Die Snow Flurry, Lables Collection Framelits, Circle Punch from Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, 1" Circle Punch.
Others: Snail, Glue Dots.

I found the best way to attach the beautiful glimmer paper was with glue dots.

Meet Scruffy

This is the newest member of our family. Rod and they boys really wanted a puppy and i didn't because all the usual stuff would be left to me (training, cleaning up pee and poo, feeding etc) anyway to cut a long story short Rod came across him and it was love at first sight (can't say i blame him) so we got this tiny little fella about 4 1/2 months ago (he will be 7 months on 14th Sept his birthday is valentines day!!) and he has made a big impact in our family and is a real gem at times. I will see if this works and post more soon.
