Debbie does feminine so well!

Debbie Lamb (one of my fab downlines) style is always feminine with a hint of vintage. That's one of the cool things about belonging to a team, as we all have our own styles and we learn so much from each other. Maybe one day she'll rub off on me & make me more girly!

Playing dress up again

I can't believe how much fun the All Dressed Up framelits are - these wee cards were so quick & easy to whip up.

Recipe:
Stamp set: Sassy Salutations (126705 W, 126707 C)
Ink: Gumball Green (126861)
Paper: Gumball Green (127543), Very Vanilla (106550), Crumb Cake (121685), Print Poetry DSP stack (129312)
Other: All Dressed Up framelits (130101), Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack (118309), Elegant Bouquet embossing folder (115964), ruffled Lucky Limeade ribbon (122977) - not the right green but it works & satin Island Indigo - SAB reward 2013, Basic Pearls (119247) or Jewels (119246), dimensionals (104430)

I'm kicking myself for not buying the "bundle" & saving 15% off the framelits come with a matching stamp set which you don't need to make a card with. As you can see card stock & DSP works beautifully with it. But the matching stamp set has same really fun sayings with it, so think it's being added to my wish list to order before June 30.

Rainbow of Petite Purses

I had a lovely day on Saturday playing with my team mates & we mastered how to emboss the oh so cute Petite Purse (125606) from Stampin' Up!

We've embossed with the fancy fan (127751) & perfect polka dots (117335) embossing folders & embellished with a beautiful flower created with one of our new products - creped filter paper (129393) which is very deceiving, it looks flimsy but is actually quite tough. I folded one piece of creped filter paper in 4 & sandwiched them in some photocopy paper & then punched twice with my blossom punch (125603).

Then each punched shape is coloured up using a brayer. I brayered half perfect plum & the other half with wisteria wonder ink. The 2-tones did look good.

I wasn't going to do this colour combo originally but so loved my stained glass flowers card that Sally Williams shared with us. I knew the card was perfect for Mother's Day & it sure was - Pete's mum squealed with delight!!! So I made my wee purse to match the card, the joys of having the training in my own house I had a craft room to raid for supplies.

Well we had a fab day with more projects & fine food with friends, so roll on the next time the WOW paperKRafters get together & get inky together. If you would like to know more about joining my team drop us a line or have a read of this page.

Beautiful Butterfly all glammed up

Hi everyone & WOW were did last week go?? This was the 2nd card I taught at my Feminine / Mother's Day class last weekend to share with you - thinking about mothers I was inspired to recreate a beautiful card I made for my mum who loved butterflies in 2010 (click HERE to see the original) & rejuvenated it with products we now have in 2013.

It also became a bit of a retirement class as lots of the products used are on the retirement list in the States currently; what was used that has been announced in the US as retiring is Certainly Celery cardstock, ink & taffeta ribbon, Pretty in Pink ink, Elements of Style stamp set, Frost White & Champagne Mist shimmer paints. The Frost White has been added to the cut out butterfly on a scrunched up piece of plastic wrap & the Champagne Mist has been mixed with rubbing alcohol (70% isoproponal) & spritzed on the crumb cake layer, it was extremely sparkly in real life & very hard to photograph.

 I made my card a happy birthday card originally as my mum has passed away & Pete's mum card is already done but ended up changing the sentiment as I needed a "get well wishes" card this week & so easy to do; just stamped & punched out & adhered on top.

The recipe if you wanted to recreate the card:
Stamp sets: Elements of Style (121504 W, 120045 C), Teeny Tiny Sentiments (119185 W, 120024 C)
Ink: StazOn Black, Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, So Saffron, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede 
Paper: Pink Pirouette, Certainly Celery, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla
Other: Beautiful Butterflies Bigz die (114507), word window punch (119857), modern label punch (119849), Distress tool (127562), sponge dauber (102892), basic pearls (119247), dimensionals (104430), Frost White (116854) & Champagne Mist (116806) shimmer paints, Delicate Designs embossing folder (127023),large scallop edgelit (127019), aquapainter (103954), Stampin' Spritzer (126185), Certainly Celery tafetta ribbon (119963)
Technique: Faux Mother of Pearl

Well the retiring list is released here May 31st but if you were thinking you'd like some of the products I have mentioned above I'd get in now. I know with the Colour Refresh announcement early in April the majority of the retiring ink pads & reinkers & cardstock have already sold out & are no longer available.

To my mum readers have a fabulous day tomorrow, hope you're all spoilt rotten & if you're lucky you get $$$ for stamping supplies.

Time to play dress up

WOW I can't believe how much I enjoyed making this card, it brought back such happy memories of dress up paper dolls as a child.

This is one of the projects from my feminine class last night. I'll share the second after tomorrow's class which is always a repeat of Friday's class.

 I still have room for a few more in tomorrow's class if anyone wants to have a play.

One of the other fun things on this card was printing out the sentiment using MDS as I didn't own the Delightful Dozen stamp set  - well I won't have to say I don't have the right stamp ever again, with MDS I can have them ALL!

I can safely say that everyone at class also enjoyed making the card,  it was fun bringing out the inner child in us all.

The recipe is below but the gorgeous satin Pool Party ribbon for her belt was a SAB reward & is not available for purchase but a wee strip of pool party would work equally as well.
