Some SAB CASE fun...

The one thing I love about papercraft is inspiration. You see something somewhere and you can CASE it. Alternatively, you can see something on someone else's blog, use their idea and then put your own twist on it. Either way, both applied to the following cards. I firstly saw these cards on the amazinly talented Steph's blog here and I bleieve she found the inspiration from somewhere else.

These cards are so quick and easy I can see myself doing a LOT more of them. Here are my versions.

and the other...

I have used the Happy Moments set from the 2010 SAB. I had some glitter in my stash that nearly matched the SU colours exactly and I used my chalks on the other ones. Too cute and soooooooooo easy!! Give them a try.

Stuff used:
CS: (SU) Certainly Celery, Regal Rose, Kraft, Whisper White.
Ink: (SU) Certainly Celery, Regal Rose, Basic Black
Stamps: (SU) Happy Moments SAB '10, Polka Dot BGS
Extras: Kaiser Colour Chalks, Glitter fm stash, Kindyglitz

RAK - #2

Courtney is another one of my speccy Swap Sisters. Not only does she do AMAZING ATC's, but she spins wool, takes magical photos and is an all round good gal. Courtney had mentioned that she LOVED the Good Neighbours set from the recent SAB promotion, but was not going to be able to get it. I was blessed enought to receive this as a chat room prize one night.

The pillow box that Sue made was full of chocolates!! The set was not one I thought I would use much, so I decided to pay it forward to Courtney. I also (since I was making some anyhow) made another matchbook post it folder for her and a matching note card. I had seen the delightful ladybug made fom the Pick a Petal set and had not had a go at it...so that was my challenge. I needed a ladybug motif for the back and had a mild moment of panic....then realised that I had 2 in the Garden Whimsy set. Here's the results...

                                      

And the note tag..

The set together......

Have a go at one of these little Post It folders. They are so quick and easy and easy to give. Courtney was blown away when her surprise turned up at the door....and it gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling inside too.

Stuff used:

CS: (SU) Riding Hood Red, Basic Black, Whisper White

Ink: (SU) Riding Hood Red, Versamark, Basic Black (Stamp and Write Marker)

Stamps: (SU) Pick A Petal, Garden Whimsy, Happy Moments (SAB '10 set)

Punches: 1 1/4, 1 3/8 and 3/16 inch circle punches

Bits: (SU) Black and White Gingham Ribbon

Late Notice (2nd installment)

As I mentioned last post, my son (master 9) also came home with a rather late notice of an impending birthday party and I had 2 days (plus all the other stuff that Mum's do) to put something together. I went to the remnants of another Simply Scrappin Kit - Round Up - that I aquired and decided to see what I could do with that. Here's the result....btw...the birthday boy was turning 10!!

I was really pleased with how it turned out, given the amount of time I had to put it together. I also got to get the crimper out and have a play with it. I crimped the strip that the sentiment is on and also crimped the stars. this card only has 1 STAMP on it which is the 'happy birthday" from the SAB Happy moments set.

I also distressed the edges with the cutter kit to 'bloke' it up a bit more. Amazing what you come up with when put under pressure!!

Stuff used:
CS: (SU) Close to Cocoa, Sage Shadow, Simply Scrappin' Kit - "Round up"
Ink: (SU) Close to Cocoa
Stamp: (SU) Happy Moments (SAB '10)
Punches: (SU) Large and Small Star Punch
