New Cards :)

I bought my new camera yesterday, it's a Fuji Finepix J100. It's so tiny and lightweight! And it takes reasonably decent photos, which is the main thing!

Here's a few examples of the things I've been working on lately.

This is a Criss Cross card, the instructions can be found here. I really like this type of card and its actually quite easy to make and I'm definitely planning on making a few more when my new catalogue designer paper arrives, which will hopefully be before Easter!

Stamps: Priceless , Short & Sweet
Ink: Choc Chip, Certainly Celery
Paper: Choc Chip, Very Vanilla, Good Morning Sunshine DSP
Accessories: Circle punch, scallop circle punch, round tab punch, SNAIL, Sticky Strip



This is a cute little treat bag that I made last weekend. Instructions can be found here on Julie Buhler's blog. Normally the front flap falls down so that you can decorate the inside front part but I didn't want to do that. It took me a little while to figure out how to put it together, but I am instructionally challenged!




Stamps: Lovely Labels
Paper: Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White & Pacific Point
Ink: Riding Hood Red
Accessories: Circle Punch, Circle Scallop Punch, SNAIL, Sticky Strip


This card I CASE'd from Irene Dunn. You can see the original here on her blog.

Ink: Rose Red
Paper: Baja Breeze, Choc Chip, Whisper White & Rose Red

Anyone for a Martini?

Shaken not stirred! Actually I think I was watching a James Bond movie when I made this card.

This one is made with some stamps from the new Cheers to You stamp set, as well as using papers two of the new In Colours, Tangerine Tango and Baja Breeze. The olive is coloured in with Kiwi Kiss ink and the Cheers to You greeting is also stamped in Kiwi Kiss. The background images were stamped using Versamark Ink.




Stamps: Cheers to You

Paper: Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, Baja Breeze

New Catalogue

My camera is dead so I’ve scanned a few of the cards I’ve been working on. Hopefully I’ll have a new camera in a week or two so until then, I’ll be scanning cards instead.

Here’s one card using new stamp sets, In Colours and Designer Paper. I’ll upload a few more later.




The Hi image is punched out with the square scallop punch and I used a couple of dimensionals to make it stand out a bit. I love the birdie paper from the Good Morning Sunshine DSP. So cute!
