Easter Bunny Fries Box

I wanted to share a cute little Easter bunny box that I cased from Cathy Stevenson that was showcased on Becky Roberts Blog. Cathy makes some beautiful punch art projects, and this is one that I just had to do for Easter.

Sadly most of the punches and dies used to make this box are either retired or about to retire, but you may be lucky enough to still pick up some of these products in the retiring list or clearance rack.

Butterfly Basics Cards

Today, I have another gorgeous card that I cased from Steffi Helmschrott. I kept the same layout, but used different colours and added a banner to finish of the card.

I wanted a two toned look for both my butterfly and banner, so I used the baby wipes technique to achieve this.

Special Occasion Birthday Cards

Need a card for an upcoming special birthday? Try a simple black card, add a pop of colour and some glimmer numbers. I was inspired by a card from Teneale Williams, but used various different products to achieve a similar look.....simple and elegant!

Hey, Chick Birthday Card

Sadly, sale-a-bration is finished for another year, and I hope you all received some nice freebies during the promotion.

The stamp set "Hey, Chick" was my favourite set, so I am sharing a card that I made using this set. I was inspired by the card on page 16 of the sale-a-bration catalogue, and decided to add the other two chickens on top as well. It was a little tricky, lining up the stamps so that the feet were in the correct position, but I got there in the end.

Jar of Love Card

I wanted to showcase another card using the "Jar of Love" stamp set with the coordinating dies. I was inspired by a card that I had seen on pinterest made by Pamela Staples, I loved the fresh summery colours she used and decided that I would case it making a few subtle changes.

I silver embossed my background splotches and the jar on vellum paper, then I cut another jar out of a window sheet and attached it to the vellum jar with some linen thread to hold the two together. This gave my jar a nice glossy look...like a real glass jar.

The jar was stuck down on the two sides, so I could slide the flower stems and leaves into the top of the jar. Lastly, I added a tag and some fireflies to finish off the card.

Foxy Friends - Wild About You Card

The new "Foxy Friends" stamp set and coordinating punch is proving to be very popular bundle. I love how versatile this set is and I have seen so many wonderful creations made with it, and I thought it was time to share one of my own designs...a very simple card!

Since I did not have a stamp that said "wild about you" I decided to print my own sentiment instead.

Cool Treats Cards Shown at Onstage

Unfortunately, I was unable to make it to the "Onstage" event in Brisbane last year, however was pretty excited that I was able to watch the event online. This meant I still got to see the sneak peaks and some amazing projects made by the stampin up crew.

I cased the below card from one of the cards that Shannon West showcased at the event. Naturally, I changed mine around a bit, to make it my own.

Casing the Sale-a-bration Catalogue

When I saw one the projects made in the Sale-a-bration catalogue, using the "Designer Tee" stamp set, I knew that I had to case the card. I liked the overall layout of the card, but wanted to change the colour scheme and add a bit more bling to jazz it up some more. I love these colours together and thoroughly enjoyed making this card.

Cool Treats Birthday Card

I will be sharing several cards made using the "Cool Treats" stamp set and the "Frozen Treats" coordinating dies, as this is my favourite set in the new Occasions catalogue. I love the colour combination they used in the paper and the possibilities to create stunning projects with this set are endless.

Sealed With Love Valentine's Day Card

Below are a couple of quick and easy valentine's day cards to give to that special person in your life.

I cased the top one from Marsia Aivarez and decided to also do a masculine version as well, something a little less girly! I added a couple of banners to the top of my cards as I felt it was a little to plain without this.

Jar of Love Shaker Card

Since it is summer in Australia at the moment, I though it would be great to share a card that represents the ocean and the beach. I used some clear glass beads and fussy cut some starfish to shake around in the card. I am very happy with the end result and hope my viewers like it too.

Owl Builder Christmas Card

I have always wanted to make a cute little card with Christmas owls sitting on a branch.

The branch and holly leaves were made using some dies from memory box, and the rest of the card was made using Stampin Up products as shown in the below supply list.

You will notice that I used many different SU punches to make up the owls instead of just using the original owl builder punch. The reason for this, is I just wanted my owls to look a little different from the original owl.

I used the owl builder punch for the owl background shape, the heart punch for the eye background, the 3/4" circle punch for the belly, the raindrop from the tree builder punch for the beak, and the smallest shape from the blossom petals builder punch to make the owl wings.

Foxy Friends Christmas Card

Today I am sharing a Christmas card which uses the "Foxy Friends" stamp set and the coordinating "Foxy Builder" punch to make Rudolf the red nosed reindeer. My sentiment is from the "Good Greetings" stamp set.

Botanical Blooms Card

There are many flower stamps sets to choose from in the annual catalogue, and the "Botanical Blooms" stamp set is by far my favourite. I will be sharing a few different cards that I have made using this stamp set over the coming months, which range from a simple card through to cards that are a little more difficult to make.

I wanted to give the card a slight grungy look, so I used the "French Foliage" stamp set to achieve the result I was after. I think both these stamps sets work really well together and I love the colour combination I used.

Detailed Floral Thinlits Engagement Card

I have made a few cards using the "detailed floral thinlits dies", which I will share over the coming months. I think these dies are perfect for making engagement and wedding cards as the finish is elegant.

In my supply list, I tried to include both the stamp sets that I used, but they were not available for me to select, so I have listed the digital version of the stamp sets instead, just to show which stamps were used.
