Christmas Stamp Class - Inspirational Papercrafting

Get your creative hats on - lets get ready for Christmas!  We are going to do a Christmas Stamp-a-Stack coming up 16th and 30th October. What's a Stamp-a-Stack you ask?  Well you get shown a technique, you then make 10 of the same cards using that technique and there are other crafters in the room making 10 cards as well, when you have finished you swap your cards and then you have 10 different home made Christmas Cards all in under 2 hours!  How wonderful is that.  The Class will be at the Chelsea Heights Community Centre in Thames Parade Chelsea Heights and will be from 1pm to 3pm. Would love you all to come along. Cost is $22.  Visit my website for more information. http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/deniseszabo/events

Build - A - Bear

So I decided to get creative again - the build-a-bear dies were calling out to me.  We had to attend two birthday parties on the same day so out came the die and I made the same card for both little boys.  I used the Ornament punch for the bandana and the hearts from the Owl punch for the tie.  The sky was given the special effect by sponging a scallop circle, the sand and the sea were torn to give them special effect.



Punch Birthday Party

Today I worked my first Birthday Party for 12 year olds.  We did two projects.  The post - it note butterfly cased from Becky Roberts and my version of the Little Miss Backsides from Ellen Kemper.  The girls had a lot of fun and loved the projects.  Hope you love too.

Build - A - Bear

Hi there.  I had a lot of fun very late last night making birthday cards for a party celebration today.  The build a bear set unfortunately is not available in Australia but it is so cute.  So have a look what I created - fun isn't it?  The skirt was made using the extra large scallop punch and then scored across and folded.  The pearls then give it that extra bit of elegance a ballerina always has.  The boy card was made very late and didn't quite turn out how I wanted but I really do think he is cute.  The Brights DSP is fantastic for projects like this.

I do hope my daughter's friends loved their cards.

A Promised Card!

Well I have a new nephew, his name is Jabari and I struggled to find a card that seemed just right, so I thought I would personalise it with the Timeless Type Junior Alphabet and it to me turned out very simple but effective.  I have used the blender pen to colour in the teddy bears from the Baby Bundle set.

Hey There

I know - I haven't been on here for quite awhile.  Well my blog "broke" and I have no skills with IT so it remained broke.  Well now I have tried again and hey it works.  Yay me!  So now that I know it works I promise that tomorrow I will load some photos of recent cards that I have made.  I have done a few shows as well.  Paperific, Picture to Page and also the Craft and Quilt Show.  There is also a card making class starting at the Chelsea Heights Community Centre.  Next class is Sept 18th. 1pm to 3pm.  Will post more tomorrow as well as well as a flyer.  So thanks for visiting and I promise that I will update more often!
