Peek-a-baby

Hello!!! Please, do not fall off your chair!!.. Two posts in two days... AMAZING!!!

I made a little card and gift tag for a beautiful friend who recently had a gorgeous baby girl. Due to all kinds of nasty bugs that infiltrated the Kalé abode and its residents, I've only just yesterday, been able to meet said GORGEOUS GIRL, and I must admit to hogging her all afternoon while I snuggled and sniffed in her gorgeousness :D

Here is the card and gift tag I made:-

I used the BEAUTIFUL Happy You (Hostess) Set, which I have to admit to being a BIG bit in love with. It's such a sweet set and once coloured in, SOOOOOO cute!!!

The colours I used were Crumb Cake, Primrose Petals, Pink Pirouette and a touch of Gumball Green for the Cardstock. For colouring I used my Aqua Painter, Watercolour Paper and Pink Pirouette, Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple and Gumball Green Ink.

I'm SO happy with how it turned out. Can't wait to sit down and play some more with this gorgeous set.

The other goodies I used to create the card and tag are, my Big Shot, the Perfect Pennants Die, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Circle #2 Die (although I did have to cut the Gumball Green circle down a tad),Adorning Accents Edgelits and embossing folder,  and my 1 3/4" Circle Punch.

I hope you like this little creation.

Thanks for stopping by.

Sweet Sunday Sketch #168

Happy Sunday! It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, I hope you'll find some time to join in the fun!

Today I've made a VERY special birthday card for my Grandmother (Dinan). She is going to be 90 soon, and it's pretty safe to assume she won't be blog surfing, nor will she come on over to my blog for a looksie ;-)

Here is my card for this weeks challenge:-

And here is the sketch for you to play along with:-

I've been wanting to use my Memorable Moments stamp set since returning from the SU! Convention in Canberra, back in June!!! Yep.... it's been that long, and I'm sad to admit, this delightful set has sat unopened and unmounted all that time. It really is a fun and VERY versatile set, can't wait to play with it again.

The colour combo I used was based around the Twitterpated DSP. Can I just say HOW EXCITED I was to see that it had been carried over into this years SU! Cattie!!.. VERY EXCITED!! Right... back to the colour combo, Baja Breeze, Pink Pirouette, Basic Grey, and Cherry Cobbler, with some Whisper White card stock also.

Hello!!! Right!!... Straight into it today.. I'm LATE!! and I'm in BIGGGGGGG trouble from my SSSC boss ;-).

Today is a very special day for a VERY special little girl and my card is just for her :D. Actually, this might just save me from my above mentioned BIIIIGGGGGGG trouble ;-). Happy Birthday sweet Katie!!! We hope your day is AMAZING.

Here is Miss Katie's birthday card, and of course my card for today's Sweet Sunday Sketch:-

And here is the sketch for you to play along with:-

 

I've used Katie's favourtie colours Pink and Purple. That right there is why Miss Katie and my Miss Ella were INSTANT friends when they met :D... I'm sure of it.. hehehe.

SU! Heartfelt Event {Perth}

Hello!!!..Please don't fall off your seat when you see this pop up into your Readers!!! It would appear I've been a little hiatus ;-).

Last week I got to attend Stampin' Up!'s Heartfelt Event in Perth. It was such a FUN day... picture 200+ women all gathered together, to create, be inspired, share and pretty much just BE!!

I was lucky enough (and I'm still in shock!) to be asked to prepare some samples for the Product Playground, using new stock from the NEW catalogue, and thought I'd share those with you today.

I didn't get the chance, due to a few personal issues, to get as many samples made as I had hoped, but was pretty pleased with what I managed to come up with after a few tussles with the NEW Watercolour Winter stamp set (we didn't see eye to eye for a while there ;-) ). Watercolour Winter is available in the NEW Seasonal Catalogue. SOOOOO much NEW stuff to look at!!!

So here are my samples:-

This first set I've made a matching card and gift tag. The colour combo I went with is Crumb Cake and Primrose Petals (one of the NEW In Colors), I also used some NEW Gumball Green Ribbon and the NEW Bitty Banners Framelits on the card. I coloured my Rhinestone Jewels with my SU! Markers, so add a little colour.

 

This is a little Gift Box I made and I filled it with little Gift Tags. The set I used for this was Christmas Wishes and it's in the Holiday Catalogue as a Hostess Stamp Set. The little Santa was covered in Dazzling Diamonds, although that's not showing up so well in the photo. The Little To/From tags are from the same set and I've just cut the tags out using the Bitty Banners Framelits.

 

I do have one other sample to show you, but Blogger is misbehaving and I can't seem to get it to upload. (I'm not sure how I managed to get these two up yet, but when I figure it out, I'll be right onto it!)

 

Thanks so much for stopping by. If there is any more information you'd like about these projects, please, just leave me a comment or send me an email and I'll get back to you.
