Perpetual Christmas Card

Perpetual Christmas Card

I love love love this card!!! BECAUSE it is FUN!!!! It was part of one of my classes called "Cards that move".... it is so darned cool... you open it from the middle and the way the card is stuck together it continues to fold (from the middle) until it is all the way back to the front again!!!

I gaurantee if you give this card to any age they will be amazed with it and it will not be put down for several hours!!! You JUST HAVE TO play with it!!!!

I got the idea a year or so ago when I recieved some cool junk mail that did this.. but never followed through with drafting a pattern.... making it bigger and..... producing a class... However when I saw a UTube video of Brian from Stampin' Up! US... I just had to do it!!!!

Check out his video here.... Fabulous Folds Card with Brian PillingVideo

I have also written some easy instructions with pictures for Brian doing his thang.. if you would like a copy I am happy to share....

Stamp n Stack 4 Boys

 No matter who you are Boys cards always seem to be the hardest...
 I find when I am looking at a stamp set I try to see if it could be used for both male and female cards... If you swap the colours around and use part of the stamp you will be surprised with what you may come up with....

Dream Create Inspire Imagine Male Card

Lovely as a Tree... so easy to make this one into a male card....

Thanks for a Male Card

Although this one of these stamp sets are retired (Extreme Elements ... this is one I just can not get rid of... I LOVE IT!!!!) You can substitute your stamp set for another that may have some shapes etc in them like Circle Circus... the technique that is used in these cards is resist embossing.... Stamp all your coloured images first... then using VersaMark stamp on top of your images a really solid stamp.. (the splash from Extreem Elements) the clear emboss.... then taking your Brayer roll over several times with some dark ink... Rip the edges and you have a VERY VERY cool effect!!! Two toned paper..... its very MANLY!!! Gerr!!!

Male Birthday Card

A Ship is always a great older gentleman's card!!! How sophisticated does this one look???? And it is so simple... Stamp your greeting then Create some texture with an embossing folder... Wrap some ribbon around and stamp the image in StayzOn... dauber the edges and back with dark card stock.. It's so EASY!!!!

Ship Card for Males

Here4 are some other lovely cards that were created for a class... cant remember which one.. but they are nice too...

Shabby Chic Amore Card


Simple Card

Christmas Warterfall Card

Beautiful Christmas Waterfall Card

How much do you love the Waterfall cards???.. I have taught this one a few times in the last 6 years and it never gets old!!! EVERYONE loves it!!!

I love the stamp set Joyous Celebrations... it's sooooooooooooo BEAUTIFUL!!! another MUST have in your collection..... and the FANTASTIC Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper Stack (126904)... These are just AWESOME for the card makers.. the DSP is just the right size for one card... I ahve done so much with my pack!!! It goes such a LONG way!!!! AND they can be used for all occasions not just Christmas because they have FANTASTIC colours in them.... And AWESOME patterns that are not 'just' Christmas!!!! So get in now and order yourself a pack or two... you know you want to!!!

A new MUST HAVE iPhone app from Stampin' Up!

It's a bird! It's a plane! 

No, it's a new app from Stampin' Up!

15 November 2012 It has been hard to keep this a secret—we’re so excited about it! We have created a card-making application, and we already have a great name for it: Simply Sent! This iPhone app allows customers to create an e-card—from a template or completely on their own—and send it via e-mail or post it on Facebook. And it’s free!
Here’s something you should know about this app: it’s not My Digital Studio on a mobile device, not even close. This scaled-back version will only give customers a taste of what they can create when they buy MDS. We want to get our name and our art out there so more people than ever before will know about Stampin’ Up! We hope you’ll get excited about it as well and that you’ll do the following:
Download it from iTunes or the App Store, share it with all your friends, and post a review! The more positive reviews it gets, the more prominent place it takes in the iTunes store. 
Try it out! IT"S FUN!!!

It's a Vine n Flowery day

I love love love my new BIG SHOT dies.... As soon as I purchased these 2 NEW ones I just had to try them out.. so I designed these 2 lovely pages for one of my Angel Ave classes....

This first one uses the lovely  NEW Lattice Bigz (115958)... I folded the 12" x12" card stock so that it was just inside the cutting edges and made this FANTASTIC statement piece down the side of my page.... A glorious filigree lattice border....

Vine Flowers on Lattice Scrapbook Page

This page I used the Bigz™ Die Snow Flurry (127813) from the Holiday Catalogue.... I used the medium sized snow flake as the stamen type looking thingys... (right now my Eglich is how you say suck!!!) but if you just look at the picture you should get what I am trying to say :P....

Spring Flowers Scrapbook Page

Hope you have a DeVINE time trying new things with your Big Shot dies...

Cut n paste Scrappin'

Simply BEAUTIFUL!!!! That is how I would describe these scrapping pages..
Normally in a class I would only have us complete two pages.. but because these ones were basically just cutting and pasting... well the ladies got a treat and we completed all three... They really are VERY easy....

Unisex Simple Scrapbook PagePinwheel Scrapbook PageAll Hearts Scrapbooking Pagea

Enjoy the simplicity!!!

Bleaching & INKS

I love Bleaching and inking... just take some plain old white card stock and make it whatever you desire!!!
Watercolour Paper and Reinkers Card

In a recent class I helped my ladies EXPLORE the wonders of reinkers with your card making....
We spritzed the paper down with a little water and then took some reinkers and placed one drop of each colour randomly over the paper.... then set it aside to dry... I LOVE the bold colours!!! It's such a cool FUN technique... and every time it is totally different!!!

Then we took a piece of A4 card stock to make a background for a scrapbook page.... Sometimes it is hard to find a masculine piece of DSP.... so again why not make your own...???

Spritz your paper with water again.. than take your aqua painter pen and dip it into some reinker ink and randomly squiggle on your page.... do some bleaching and some stamping and whalah you have a very cool individual MANLY page....

Reinker Painting & Stamping your own Designer Paper

I honestly think experimenting is the best!!! And I LOVE playing and getting messy with my ART!!! Who wants to grow up if you have to always obey rules??? I say Play the day away!!!

Happy Play time.. ENJOY your work!!!!!
