<br />
A few weeks back I had a workshop hosted by my Bestie. We had only a diligent few, but man-o-man did we have some fun!!! She requested that we use the All Dressed Up Framelits....so no problem there. I love these things. I also wanted to include a couple of new items from the brand new catalogue, So this is what I came up with......<br />

Now before you all fall off your chairs....yes....I KNOW there is a HUGE use of PINK in these projects. It was forced upon me by the DSP I used, which is the very pretty Gingham Garden. It also had a flower from Mixed Bunch stamped in Versamark to fill in the blank background. Now the OCD side of me also meant that each attendee had a different strip of DSP and therefore different coloured main CS, inks etc. I also used the Label Love and Banner Greetings stamp sets and the co-ordinating punch with Label Love - Artisan Punch. As you can imagine, with framelits, embossing, bling and dimensionals it was creative chaos!!!<br />

Now (as I later found out when I opened a NEW packet of note cards) these are the OLD, smaller SU notecards. The new ones are MUCH bigger, which also explains why, no matter how I tried to work it, I could not make them the same as the set I was inspired by <a href="http://qbeesquest.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/mosaic-madness-notecards.html">here</a>. Still, there were very cute!!! Here is one close up.......</div>

<br />
A quick post for you all today. I had to do a card for a Master turning 5 on the hop (so to speak) and I was left scratching my head as to what would go up very quickly. As if to answer my prayers, his mother poster a picture of him on Facebook celebrating his 5th birthday all dressed up as a superhero. LIGHTBULB!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
I recalled a card I had seen by France Martin <a href="http://www.frenchiestamps.com/2012/11/spider-man-with-stampinup-folder.html">here</a>. So I put my creative mind to task and this is what I came up with.....<br />

I had a Cuttlebug spider web EF so I used that. The eyes were done with a 2 inch (white) and the SU 2 1/2 inch Circle punches. The "5" is cut with Silver glimmer paper with the Alphabet Typeset Bigz Dies.</div>

<br />
Recently I had to make a card for Bestie's little boy who was turning 8. As usual, I left it to pretty much the last minute. I had hoped to do a punch art creation, but instead, I caught a glimpse of a card on someone's Pintrest board and I went form there.<br />
<br />
The card I based mine on I found<a href="http://blog.averyelle.com/2012/10/avery-elle-october-release-group-post.html"> here</a> (2nd card down) but as you can see it was a very girly card and I needed a real BOY card. I really liked the idea of the HB2U...especially for a boy. With that in mind, I created this......<br />

Very much more for the 8 year old don't you think?? I used the Hearts a Flutter stamp set and co-ordinating framelits as well as the Typeset Alphabet Bigz dies. The WW background I thought was too barren, so I embossed it with the Chevron EF and then stamped the "splat" from Extreme Elements set in the co-ordinating colour beneath the banner. Because I stamped on the embossed paper, it gives it a really funky look.</div>

The other element was some basic white crochet cotton and a WHOLE lot of dimensionals to have the banners "sit up". On the inside of the card I cut a banner from the Polka Dot DSP and layered an 8 cut from Silver Glimmer paper.</div>

Hi all.<br />
<br />
For regular readers of my blog, you know I LOVE a good box and co-ordinated gift. Recently whilst blurfing (blog surfing) I stumbled across Sam from <a href="http://pootles.wordpress.com/">Pootles Papercraft</a> in the UK. She make ALL kinds of boxes and gifts and even does DO's for the visual learners amongst us.<br />
<br />
The original contact I had with Sam's blog involved today's project. Miss 9 had 3 friends (twins turning 11 and a bestie at school turning 10) that needed gifts. Sam's box <a href="http://pootles.wordpress.com/2013/05/07/stampin-up-uk-boys-gift-treat-box-tutorial/">here</a> was the perfect opportunity to give these gorjus boxes a whirl. Here is the finished projects.......<br />
<br />
For the twins......... (remember to click on the photos if you wish to make them larger)<br />

Aren't these boxes just delish???? The lids close on an angle as you can see here. Sam's box did not cover the sides in DSP, but I really liked the look of this.<br />

The pencils I found in the Reject Shop. Pack of 12 for $2....so bargain indeed. I popped them in a skinny cello bag and made a topper with the 2 3/8" and 1 1/4" Scallop Circle Punches and you get this....(the stamp set I used is an old retired SAB set).<br />

The card was inspired by LeeAnn Greff. It was in her January Newsletter, but I cannot find a pic of it to share with you. The thing I loved about it was the seamless transition between the embossed CS and the ribbon. She (I think) must have used the simply scored, but I used the "x" emboss of the Needlepoint EF's.<br />

Thanks for popping by. If you are in Sydney, I hope you are high and dry. The rain has been INSANE.....seriously...I think we are near 10 days straight now. I can't recall seeing rain this heavy and persistent for a long time.<br />

Addit.....<br />

Oops...I am such a bad Mumma!!! Miss 9 received some card making stamps and supplies for her birthday (early June) and was very keen to make the twins a card each. I helped with the corner decorations....it is the Postage Stamp punch cut on the diagonal. Worked a treat!!! This is what she made......<br />

<br />
For those in Australia, I hope you all had a wonderful Queen's Birthday long weekend. I hope you all got a little inky and creative.<br />
<br />
Last Monday (3rd June) My Miss 8 became Miss 9. We have (endured) her meticulously crossed off 30 day count down to her special day. She is growing into a very cheeky little one (of course totally unaware as to where she acquired that trait from!), hence the inspiration for this ensemble.<br />
<br />
I also took a lot of inspiration from Di Barnes with her card <a href="http://dianebarnes.blogspot.com.au/2012/08/centre-step-monkey-for-sarah_28.html">here.</a> This is the card I created for her.......<br />
<br />

<br />
It is a centre step style card. I based it in a tutorial from SCS <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/centerstepcard/">here</a> but continued all the cuts to the back as well (hope that makes sense?) It stands so nicely.....<br />

Now I can hear you ask...."what is in the wee white bag??" Well, my Bestie Tracey, she makes children's jewellery. She has an Etsy shop <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/BerryLiciousDesigns">here</a> and you can also find her on Facebook under Berry-licious. Whilst the 2 of us were at Craft Camp this year I asked her to make a special set for Miss 9 and this is what she came up with.......</div>

<br />
Firstly, thank you all so much for your blog love and encouragement on my return to blogging. It was overwhelming.<br />
<br />
Today, I am again combining a couple of projects done over the past couple of months that have a common theme. Today - Punch Art.<br />
<br />
As most of you are aware, I was an avid punch artist before I discovered stamping, now I get to combine the two and make some fun creations.<br />
<br />
Recently my DH's niece turned 2. I had seen <a href="http://www.absolutekreations.com/2013/05/01/punch-art-pig-and-sneak-peak-birthday-sketches/">this</a> card on <a href="http://www.absolutekreations.com/">Andi Potler's</a> blog and fell in love with it immediately. I had to do it for Pippa!! This is my version......<br />

Next two cards were done for a customer. They wanted a "girly robot" card for their niece and a "Russian" themed birthday card as they would be in Russia for the wife's birthday!!! God bless Google!!! This is what I found......<br />
<br />
Girly Robot......again seen <a href="http://www.absolutekreations.com/2013/03/24/punch-art-a-fitting-occasion-robot/">here</a> on Andi Potler's blog.....<br />

I did change a couple of things on Andi's punch list, but the majority are the same. The background of the robot is a FAB embossing folder by Cuttlebug called "Clockworks and was so perfect for this card. I also created a small "button" on the melon Mambo strip for a bit of fun. Each layer is separated by a dimensional so it is really squishy to push on.</div>

Something I very rarely (and probably should do more of) is stamp the inside of my cards. The SU Clockworks set provided a good continuing theme for this card.</div>

Lastly...the Babushka's were inspired by a Deb Fearns card seen <a href="http://debfearns.wordpress.com/2011/10/24/three-little-babushka-dolls/">here</a>. This is my version of her card....</div>

I used the punches that Deb listed, with the exception of the hair dos and the lips. The hair was achieved with (fm L - R) The mid portion of the old butterfly punch, the scallop border punch and the base of the heart punch. Here they are close up...</div>

<br />
Please do not adjust your blog readers, yes it is me after nearly a month off the air. Sadly I found that life somewhat overwhelmed me and as usual I took on WAY too much....and finally my body gave way.<br />
<br />
I am trying to get use to this whole new Demo thing, manage my family, work, create, play my sport, attended my yearly craft camp and put out all the wee spot fires that us as mothers do!!! My diabetes at the beginning of may did NOT like the way I was living my life and gave me a nasty ultimatum. I had to take notice and as a result I have been slowly getting things back up on track!!<br />
<br />
Now....what to share....there is sooooooooooo much....I kid you not!!! I am also hoping to place my first PRE order for the new SU catalogue...so I will have a lot more inky fun to share with you too!!!<br />
<br />
One of the things I got onto a little late was the whole All Dressed Up Framelits. Not being the biggest girly girl...the thought of playing with paper dresses and mannequins was not an up there ambition for me....but I have been proven totally WRONG!!!! I LOVE them and there is sooo much you can do with them!!!<br />
<br />
I will share a mix of projects done, although sadly I have not photographed all of the fun!<br />
<br />
The first card was based on a card I found on Stampin' Connection. I don't work with yellow much but found this a lot of fun.<br />

Last but no means least....I got my co-ordinated card/gift thing on and made a little lip balm/lipstick holder for Nicole Derendorf (to say thanks) and Angela Sargeant (for her birthday). Again, the pictures are dodgy and are taken at my workplace, hence the "clinical" backgrounds!!!</div>

<br />
Today's creation took inspiration from a card by Ilina Crouse on SCS <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2024913?&cat=21667&si">here.</a> nothing wrong with the card at all, except that it used Calypso Coral........with RED!!!! Lordy....how to make a gal squirm. Still, there was something that appealed to me about the card, that still to this day eludes me, but on I went. On of the "dancing" Mum's had a birthday, so I needed something (relatively) quick as a card and gift.<br />
<br />
This is what I came up with........<br />
<br />

I had to change the ribbon due to none of the calypso stuff, but apart from that it is a direct CASE. I also had the idea of making some matching 3 x 3 note cards in a holder as the gift.</div>

<br />
By now I am guessing most of you out there have heard of the MDS phenomenon. I jumped on board about a month ago and have been experimenting ever since. I am a very tactile crafter in that I love feeling things in my hands, so this whole digital thing was very foreign to me. i am also not that computer savvy...which in its own part proved challenging.<br />
<br />
This is the first (and only card and tags) I have done on MDS. I am still getting my head around the fact that I actually found scrapbooking easier on this programme!!!<br />
<br />
The card is very bright (again not usually my palate). All DSP's, embellishments, trims, stamps and sentiments are form the free downloadables in the 30 day trial of MDS.<br />
<br />

<br />
The tag (again) is very basic, but I DID manage to get a faint snowflake punch as a faint accent in the background.<br />

<br />
Ever see a card and think I HAVE to do that....and then it takes forever to fin the right occasion to come around??? Well I found such a card...and such an occasion DID come up!!<br />
<br />
I was inspired by a couple of Piglet cards <a href="http://stampinwithrachael.blogspot.com.au/2011/01/piglet-card.html">here</a> and <a href="http://www.carlas-scraps.com/2013/03/punch-art-piglet-tutorial.html">here.</a> The one on Carla Scraps also came with a very handy tute, so I went from there. My GORJUS niece recently celebrated her 3rd birthday and so this was her card......<br />
<br />

<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I found that everyone I shared this card with smiled, and that is the best thing ever!! I did change a couple of things in Carla's Tutorial in that I left Piglets Torso a single layer and drew on his "belly". This was done by centering and tracing around a "scrap" owl punch piece. I also embossed the white oval the with Cloudy Day EF....made such a difference.</div>

<br />
Once again I find myself hanging my head in same at my total SLACKNESS in posting....seriously....where did 2 darn weeks go??? Believe me when I say it is not due of a lack of things to share!!<br />
<br />
Today's creation has a slight twist on it and came about as I was VERY time poor. I had a request to do a card for a 10yo birthday party and that there was an iTune gift card to go with it. Immediately I thought "cool....do one of the Patty Stamps ones" like <a href="http://pattystamps.typepad.com/pattys_stamping_spot/2007/11/christmas-gift-.html">here.</a> I was then going to do a larger version for the actual card to write in. Sadly this was also around the time of my 1st workshop and also a lot of other commitments. I ran very short of time to complete the 2 projects. The young birthday girl that was to received the card, her fave colours were red, black and purple, so this was my starting point.<br />
<br />
So then I thought to myself why not just make the smaller gift card holder BIGGER? So Google got a flogging and no joy. So then I thought "ok....surely it can't be THAT hard to work out." I got to work...and this was the result.....<br />

The fun part was getting the slot right in the very middle of the card. In the linked tute Patty uses the Word Window punch, but I wanted to step it up a little. I used one of the labels Framelit dies to assist in getting a very pretty shape. This was the result.....<br />

I guess I should have started out by saying that this card is a standard A5 card (10.5cm x 14.8cm - or 1/2 and A4 sheet of CS.) The red base however was constructed from a 30 x 30cm sheet of CS to get all the folds etc.</div>

<br />
By now, most of you may have heard via the grapevine, other blogs, word of mouth or read it here first...about the digital scrapbooking and card making facility that Stampin' Up have called My Digital Studio (or MDS).<br />
<br />
It's only $24.95 for the FULL version, which includes $600+ worth of content. You can download a FREE trial version for 30 days. You have the potential through this software to do so much with it from Digital scrapbooking to cards, birthday invitations, birthday party decorations, Cake toppers, etc,etc,etc.....you are limited by your imagination!!!<br />
<br />
MDS gives you the opportunity through their 30 day free trial (check it out <a href="http://www.mydigitalstudio.net/home">here</a>) and if you like what you do with it, then you have the opportunity through discs available in the main Catalogue (page 205) and the new Seasonal Catalogue (pg 5, 30 and 39 - hostess benefits) you can build a creative digital empire.<br />
<br />
I have a blog friend - <a href="http://nicolederendorf.com/">Nicole Derendorf</a> - who is a genius at this kind of thing and has been BEYOND helpful in helping a non techno person like myself using this software. You can check out Nicole's amazing creations <a href="http://nicolederendorf.com/">here</a>. Just scroll through he blog and you will find many examples of her cleverness!!<br />
<br />
Well....I hope you are all sitting down for the following reveal. I have watched my bestie scrapbook and marvelled at her creations. She has been AT ME for years to get off my backside and give it a go....well I did.....through MDS anyhow. This was my 1st attempt (click on the pic to make it larger)...<br />

Now my 2 models are my children (now Miss 8 and Mast 12)....and yes...these pics were taken some time ago indeed.<br />
<br />
I had a lot of fun (and more than a couple of bloopers) putting together these pages, but once you have a play....you DO get the hang of it....even if you are nearly computer illiterate like myself!!!<br />
<br />
Thanks for popping by. Soooooooooooo much more to share!!<br />

<br />
Firstly, I wanna wish all my readers all the very best for this Easter period. Here in Sydney we are having a mini Autumn heatwave (again) with temps hitting the high 20's to low 30's!!! (68F to 86F for those other than Celsius folk out there).<br />
<br />
This year for the first time in a LONG time I am prepared for Easter. I do not buy my kids any eggs because by the time the grandparental bunny, The Aunty/Uncle Bunny and the Neighbour Bunny all make a stop....it gets a little ridiculous!!!! Sometimes to the point that we have Easter chocolate left over in September!!!<br />
<br />
We have now 8 children in the villas around us ranging in age from 12-2. With this in mind....and so my 2 wee bunnies can drop their wee surprises off....I made these. They are made from the SU Mini Milk Carton Die (hence the Easter Cow reference!!!)<br />

I also could not forget the Mum's at dance class. We natter every Thursday whilst our daughters are upstairs learning. I was inspired by the magical tutorial by Julie Davison <a href="http://juliedavison.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/video-easter-bunny-chick-triangle-boxes.html">here.</a> I did change hers up a little in that I used a "punch art" face as opposed to a hand drawn one....I cannot free hand well at all!!!! This is what they received.....</div>

<br />
I was just chatting to a friend overseas and we both cannot get over the fact that March is nearly over!!! Where is the time going???<br />
<br />
I have now been a demo for over 2 months and even that time has evaporated. I recently held my very first workshop at my dear friends house. We made a series of 3 x 3 note tags that incorporated all things SAB. They are a direct CASE of the ones I found on Stampin' Connection by Yvonne Ashe. I do not think Yvonne has a blog (or at least I cannot find one)!!<br />
<br />
This is what we made.......<br />

I also made something a little speccy for the hostess....as she was my very first hosty and also a great friend to help me on my SU way. True story....she actually introduced me to SU some 5 years ago when I was a reserve "off the bench" bum-on-a-seat for a workshop she held. there I was introduced to the SU punches and from there I was hooked!!! This is what I made her.....</div>

<br />
Needless to say the insanity button has been pressed WAY too many times around here of late. I cannot believe where all the time is going!!!<br />
<br />
I am channelling a lot of energy into this Friday....my very first Workshop/Hostess party as a SU demo. A wonderful friend is hostessing for me and I am very excited/nervous/and all that goes with it.<br />
<br />
One thing I absolutely love about the SU and greater crafting community is the amazing friendships. I have so many fab friends online and on Facebook, many (most) of whom I have never met. Yet, any time that one has trouble or falls on hard times, there are sooooo many rallying around with handmade RAK's in letterboxes and email/messages of courage and the like.<br />
<br />
I had cause to send a card to a FB friend that has had a HORROR of a time of late. i do not know this girl very well, but something inside of me said I had to do something. So....with some stealth investigation to source her addy, I sent her this card........<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3Zk_0GJZ_X_iHC9GxFuSOrRrqJ0F3vr9tI3VKvTxuyg-qpKt_pHaWPp4AL1z5nsNUsuf6ZarIgmIBlKy5NpRL9LdRm60mUIGfr7c6R1KCbBj4kw0oNaEYqGi2q4dCU3KxGZvGAyyLTjEm/s1600/DSCN7559.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3Zk_0GJZ_X_iHC9GxFuSOrRrqJ0F3vr9tI3VKvTxuyg-qpKt_pHaWPp4AL1z5nsNUsuf6ZarIgmIBlKy5NpRL9LdRm60mUIGfr7c6R1KCbBj4kw0oNaEYqGi2q4dCU3KxGZvGAyyLTjEm/s200/DSCN7559.JPG" width="150" /></a></div>
<br />
It also gave me the chance to further play with some SAB goodies...being the Sycamore Street DSP, the Madison Avenue stamp set and the co-ordinating buttons and ribbon. I will admit to not using much Tangerine Tango at all, but I am kind of getting use to it using it with this paper.<br />
<br />
I used SWM's to colour the flower and used the new Oval Framelits (available in the new seasonal mini). Made it all oh so easy. I also carried through the hexagonal shape in the DSP by embossing the DSP with the Hexagon EF!! It was finished off with a banner and a button with ribbon threaded through it. Easy-peasy!!<br />

<br />
Man have I been slack in posting!! I have been so busy starting out as a demo and then balancing a bunch of birthday's and other celebrations, there is oh so much to show you.<br />
<br />
Given that I have a Miss 8 of my own, it goes without saying that I have a lot of little girl's cards and gifts to come up with. One that I have made a couple of times now is a lip gloss/balm butterfly. I find that EVERYONE likes butterflies, no matter what their age. There are many versions of these around in cyberspace, but these are what I have come up with....... <br />
<br />
This first one has an orange glitter gloss in it that I picked up from my local Woolworths. It came in a 3 pack (with a pink and a clear one too) I used the colour of the lip gloss as the basis for my colour combination. Here is what the butterfly lip gloss holder looks like with CS only....<br />

Seriously, they are very easy to do with the Beautiful Wings Bigz die and they are a massive hit. Here is the card and the small gift together......</div>

The next set just kept getting added to. Miss 8 picked out the DSP and so this one is a mix of DSP and CS. Purely by chance the gloss colour was the same pink as the DSP!!! The gift was teamed with a small post it pad holder that I have done many times before (search this blog for post it holder for the links). I found the wee bead making set (also a dumb luck find in Big W) and then a ribbon embellishment and away we went. The small stamp on the present on the post it holder is from Pretty Petites, available until March 22nd in SAB with the matching punch. It is VERY cute and is brilliant for large cards and small. The card is a "Z" fold one.</div>

<br />
I hope this finds you all safe and dry...those living in Sydney that is. These past 2 days we have been hit by very strong winds and relentless rains. Some areas in NSW that have only had previous flood waters subside have once again been hit. Nature is indeed and angry mistress at present.<br />
<br />
Now...question. Have you ever had an idea come to do at a very odd hour of the AM (usually 2-3AM) and not been able to go back to sleep because of it??? This is how these cards started. Like most....I struggle with male cards, but when I do one I like I tend to stick to the same layout etc until the next lightning bolt comes along!! Well This lightning bolt came in the guise of texture.<br />
<br />
I have been having so much fun playing with all of my new SU goodies. The set I chose is the Feeling Sentimental which has some GORJUS old style images. I also used for the 1st time the Honeycomb EF and Coredinations CS (yes....hanging my head in shame). This is what I came up with in the rain yesterday......<br />
<br />

<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I ran 1 piece of Coredinations CS through the Honeycomb EF and then cut along the lines up the middle to get the 2 pieces. It gives the impression of a jagged line. Here they are close up. Remember you can click on the photo to get a larger look.</div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love the look the sing of the Coredinations CS gives. I cannot believe it has taken me SO long to try it. I also added antique Pewter brads to the centres of the penny farthing's wheels. Sponging the ovals and the sentiment pieces also helped I think.</div>

Now...today is February 14th!! Usually I do not partake in all things Valentine's, but this year I was asked to make a card for a friend for his wife!! (have to give him props for at least being somewhat organised I guess.)</div>

I have recently (gone a little nuts) acquired many new play things from the new mini catalogue. One of them was the "Hearts a Flutter" stamp set and co-ordinating dies. Seriously...it makes things oh so easy. I have been cruising a lot around the creative world as well and sort inspiration from 2 cards <a href="http://kerrysstampinspiration.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/sale-bration-begins-tomorrow-yippeeeee.html">here</a> and <a href="http://blog.stamp4joy.com/2012/12/homemade-valentine-ideas/">here</a>. </div>

I basically did a Direct CASE of Kerry's card, but added and extra matt of Pool Party just to bolster it a little bit, this is my version of Kerry's card.....</div>

I also got to use some more of the SAB benefits (the Pool Party Ribbon) and the wee "Love" sentiment is from the Ciao, Baby! stamp set and cut out with the Petite Curly Label Punch available free with SAB and a $100 purchase. The hearts and tag sit on the embossed area on dimensionals.</div>

The second option was based on Rebecca's card. I loved the idea that she had of the banners and hearts and then the simple sentiment. I did however change the colour palate to a bolder black, red and white.</div>

Last "romantic" notion I have to share with you is my gift to the Mum's I sit with on a Thursday afternoon whilst our daughter's dance. Lots of laughter is always had and we quite often share stories about the MEN in our lives....and how crap they are sometimes about certain occasions!! With that in mind...and a little help from Angie Kennedy Juda <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgjoQEfqQGM">here</a>...I made these. I figured with a girl you cannot go wrong with handbags and chocolate right??</div>

The purses hold 2 Hershey Miniatures quite comfortably. The other wonderful thing about these purses is that from one 3" strip of 12 x 12 DSP you can make 2 purses with NO WASTE. Gotta love that!! I have decided to add these wee purses to the ATCAS #6 challenge <a href="http://www.addictedtocas.blogspot.com.au/2013/02/atcas-6.html">here</a> - being Candy....as the bag does hold candy, so I hope that is qualifies!!</div>

<br />
Apologies now to all for putting the idea of the song in your heads....but when you see the card...you will get the title!!!<br />
<br />
I was asked to make a card by one of the doctors at work (yes...he is one of my best customers!!). He was playing the part of Best Man for 2 friends of his that were getting married. To paraphrase him, I was given the brief of......"They are both Egyptian, doctors and they have a VERY good sense of humour. Make me an Egyptian themed wedding card....and take the mickey out if it if you wish!!" How could I say no??<br />
<br />
Once again, Google cooped a real work out as to what ancient Egyptians wore when getting married and the common theme was gold, turquoise and a LOT of jewellery....so the seeds were sewn. I wanted to make the couple with the SU Owl Punch and after much trial and error, This was the final result........<br />

Needless to say, there is a LOT of punch art and a lot of sponging on this card. The camel was CASED from Ellen Kemper <a href="http://blinkthinkink.blogspot.com.au/2009/12/christmas-camel.html">here.</a> I did however downsize the camel (used Lg Oval punch instead of Wide Oval Punch, Small oval replacing large etc) as her camel was slightly too big for my card. The blanket and hump for the camel was achieved by cutting out the smallest Fancy Flower Framelit and then punching it to the "hump" shape with the small oval punch. The belly tie was a left over petal cut straight to the centre. Does that make sense? The sand beneath was sponged using a post it as a mask. Given that the newlyweds had no card to drive off into the sunset in, I hung the "Just married" sign off the back off the camel!! It was generated from the computer.</div>

The groom's Pharaoh-like hat is the chest of the owl turned upside-down. I used a wide oval punch and a 1"circle punch to achieve the Cleopatra-esque hair. The eyes ideally would have been almond shaped, but hard to get even. I ran a black SWM around the edge for the "eye liner" look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Finally (and thanks for bearing with me) the pyramid. I masked off the section for the pyramid and lightly sponged it with River Rock ink. Then, to get the "brick" look, I carefully cut with a craft knife bricks from the sticky part, Put that across the top, and then sponged each layer in Crumb Cake ink row by row...offsetting as I went.</div>

I received some feedback about a week later. Apparently the card was a hit (apparently I am also to expect a phone call form the bride when she is back from her honeymoon)!! The doctor that ordered it LOVED it and the bride and groom got such a giggle</div>

<br />
Once again, apologies for the length of time in between posts. There has been MUCH going on under our roof. The children went back to school this week (Miss 8 into year 4 and Master 12 started HIGH SCHOOL!!!!!) where does the time go....seriously??<br />
<br />
Now I have also been dropping some hints recently about some BIG NEWS that was happening....and well finally it came to be (and for all those incredibly funny folks out there NO I am not pregnant!!) On the 23rd of January, I (finally) signed up and I am now a <span style="color: red;">Stampin' Up Demonstrator</span>!!! I have had to read a lot, learn much more about my computer 9than perhaps I would have liked to) and I have had the UBER patient <a href="http://www.angelasargeant.com/blog/">Angela Sargeant</a> as my mentor and guide. I cannot thank her enough for helping me through all the oopses and lingo.<br />
<br />
Now....onto the card. Also in the time since last posting, a friend of mine had a little boy who turned 1!! Such an occasion cannot go by unheralded. I have had <a href="http://www.kathygennari.com/2012/09/birthdays-aplenty.html#!/2012/01/happy-birthday-puppy.html">this</a> card in my CASE file for some time and thought it perfect for the birthday boy. It is punch art, which of course I LOVE, so it was an easy decision. I stepped up certain elements of the card and this is what I came up with.....(you can click on the image to make it bigger)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv5fkyQU1Yk65x2iKKj7ncbCfwZZxbDIrRzpbammAksiXbduHYKROQvmL4Ji3fDV_sg1zpb9Ld09uFg4TMesLUpRtXLxUaAJgty7brssR2XUp-UUYW-a_slCzr_-C8w-MycGL9HXR4HZxP/s1600/DSCN7437.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv5fkyQU1Yk65x2iKKj7ncbCfwZZxbDIrRzpbammAksiXbduHYKROQvmL4Ji3fDV_sg1zpb9Ld09uFg4TMesLUpRtXLxUaAJgty7brssR2XUp-UUYW-a_slCzr_-C8w-MycGL9HXR4HZxP/s200/DSCN7437.JPG" width="150" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I just think punches are the best. Whilst I enjoy my stamping, punch art is what I did before I stamped and it is something I can combine with stamping with ease. The other huge effort in this card is that I used all brights...with the exception of pooch of course!!</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I stamped the large banner from Pennant Parade in the same colour as the "flag" and then spaced them out across the card. Light bulb moment came when I realised that the birthday boy's name had 4 letters....so I cut out the letters and the #1 in gold glitter board and snap...easy peasy. A couple of dimensionals here and there and it was done.</div>

<br />
Woo hoo...it is now cool in Sydney. For those of you overseas, on Friday it hit 45.6 degs C (that's 114 degs F) and we sweltered!!! Friday night a cool change came through and all was slightly better with the world. Sadly however with such extreme temps, bush fires broke out all around NSW and Vic. Our thoughts go out to all fighting the fires and those who have battled.<br />
<br />
I still have one last batch of Christmas cards to share, but I thought I would give you a break and share something slightly more fun and goes back to my Punch Art roots. A patient of mine asked if I could create a card for her niece (aged 24) who was going to Africa to volunteer for nearly a year. Her sister had found an appropriate card with a hippo on it, but alas, she could not give 2 of the same card!!!<br />
<br />
So, with the animal theme in mind....I went to work. I have a MASSIVE file of punch art animals and card ideas on my laptop. I was inspired by the cards <a href="http://greetingsbychera.blogspot.com.au/2011/03/day-4-girly-birthday-invites.html">here</a>, <a href="http://whatareyouinking.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/happy-first-birthday.html">here</a> and <a href="http://www.beedivinedesigns.com/2012/07/a-lion-of-card.html">here</a>. The lion is indeed an animal of Africa, but I loved the idea of it peeking through a window or similar as in the 1st card. I based my Lion on the one from Jackie Topa's Cute Critters <a href="http://jackietopa.typepad.com/addicted_to_stamping/2012/03/cute-critters-punch-art-class.html">here</a>. So...I combined all ideas and came up with this......<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The lion is based around simple circles and the Blossom Punch. ALL pieces were sponged in the same colour as the CS which really gave some dimension. How can you not smile at a face this cute??</div>

Today's cards were inspired but <a href="http://www.stamppadcreations.com/2012/12/joy-with-ornament-keepsake.html">this</a> one I saw on someone's Pintrest board. One think I like to do is see a card and, CASE it and then see what other ways I can twist it a little to make it different from the original card. These are my efforts......<br />
<br />
Traditional Olive and Red..... (the difference is the embossed backings!!)<br />

</div>
Morning all.<br />
<br />
Sadly, uploading pictures on Blogger persists, so I am STILL posting via Firefox....PITA!!!!<br />
<br />
I know we are in January, but given that I was such a HUGE slacker before Christmas, I thought I may inspire you for NEXT Christmas with the cards I put together. This year I made the designs relatively easy to mass produce and just changed the colour schemes to suit.<br />
<br />
I used the reindeer stamp from the "Teacher's Gifts" post for the cards today. I basically did one in landscape, one in portrait and then in 6 different colour combinations. The red noses were achieved bu colouring in a 2mm adhesive pearl with a red Sharpie marker...too easy.<br />

Morning all,<br />
<br />
I had hoped to get this post up a couple of days ago, but it appears that my techno issues of 2012 are more than slightly hanging over to 2013...this time it is in Blogger....so I am now on a very different and unfamiliar server!!<br />
<br />
I have a glut of male birthdays in January, so with this in mind I decided to bolster my male stash. In my blog travels, I saw <a href="http://www.kingsonpaddington.blogspot.com.au/2012/09/clockworks-trio.html">this</a> magnificent trio. I was hooked and knew I had to give it a go and CASE them....but starting off one at a time.<br />
<br />
This is my effort.....<br />
<br />

I did not have some of the product they used, so I winged it. Warning...if you wish to CASE this card...there are 17 individual pieces and each has to be sponged too...well at least I did anyhow. Here they are close up... (you can click on the image to make larger if you wish)</div>
