Fox and Friends and the In Colours

I made this card to showcase the six current in colours. It uses Fox and Friends and a greeting from Family Favourites. People often ask me in workshops how the ink pads compare to the cardstock? They presume that when you stamp with the same colour ink as card that the colours will fade into each other. This card shows that they don't and in fact look quite effective. The sad thing about this colour combo is that it is only available until Tuesday 31st August, when Kiwi Kiss will be gone forever. Make sure you have stocked up!

Have a great day,

Wild about you!

A card I made a while ago using Wild About You! It was inspired by my downline Belinda. I have used the topnote die as a frame. The grass is cut freehand. The lions head is popped up using dimensionals. Pretty happy with the result. I sure am going to miss this little guy!!!!

Guest Creator by Aaron

Aaron decided that he was going to decorate this tin for his Stampin' Buddy Kylie. It was her brithday ages ago and we still haven't seen her. She asked the other day if her little buddy still remembered her. Yes Kylie he does and he is eagerly awaiting the chance to give it to you.

Aaron told me extactly what he wanted. I did the cutting then he did the rest. He was so proud of the job he did. It also has a yummy treat inside for her to enjoy (well just between you and me I think he chose the treat with himself in mind rather than Kylie.... Killer Pythons!!)

This is an old Hodgepodge Hardware tin that has been covered and decorated.

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend.

Thank you cards!

I had to make a couple of cards for my son's soccer coaches. I decided to drag out the All in the Family stamp set and personalise them. The colours were chosen for me by the club colours. (black and orange are not my favourite colours) The letters are cut out with the big shot and the faces stamped with the heads from All in the Family.

Thanks for looking. I hope you all have a great day!

Amazing Baby Cards by Belinda

Aren't these the most amazing cards! These unfortunately are not my creation but my lovely downline and friend Belinda Hennessey. Belinda is incredibly talented and made these when requested to do so by a friend. Now Belinda not only made 1 but completed these 4 cards. She actually takes them to work and sells them. If you would like one of these amazing cards she is happy to sell them or makes cards to order. Email Belinda and she can let you know the details.

Please leave her a comment to let her know just how clever you think she is!

Thanks for stopping by.

Fox and Friends Baby Card

A couple of friends have had little baby girls lately so this was a great chance for me to make a card with a little pink on it. This one uses the lovely Tea Party DSP which will be gone at the end of the month. using this paper made the colour choice easy, Certainly Celery and Pretty in Pink.

The monkey is from Fox and Friends and the greeting from Short and Sweet. I have made the cards so I really need to post them before they get lost on my desk.

Have a great day.

Bon Voyage Stampathon!!!!

The Bon Voyage Stamp-a-thon is over for another year. It was a great night and I think everyone had lots of fun. If you head on over to Christie's Blog you can see some of the cards that everyone created.

Thank you to eveyone who came. If you want to be involved in our next event make sure you get in quick as this last event sold out really quickly!

These are a couple of the bags that everyone got on their table. Inside it was a chocolate (of course) a pen, and a couple of other things. They looked pretty cute spread around the whole room. Making 54 of then was a bit of an effort but worth it!

This card was made using the outline alphabet. Each person could write whatever name they wanted to. It also used Big Bold Alphabet as well.

Wild About You 1

Wild About You 2

Bloomin' with Beauty and the bleaching technique. (this card gor dropped on an ink pad one too many time)

There is just a couple of things from the night! Thanks for looking. Merryl
