Inspire.Create.Stamping Challenges - 'Theme' Challenge #033

Welcome to my blog, and to the Inspire.Create.Stamping Challenges 
'Theme' Challenge #033.
Our theme is 'Party', and we would love for you to join in the fun

You can add your creations to our gallery here.
*This challenge runs for 4 weeks, ending in the New Year - 9th January, 2019.

I have created a Birthday card, and my my big boy wanted his mate to have an NRL 'Cowboys' coloured for his card.
My colour combination is 'Mango Melody', 'Night of Navy' & 'Basic Gray'.

I have created a pocket card for a 10 year old boy. 

A different way to dress up a card, and a fun creation for invitations.

I added 10 candles to the belly band from the 'Birthday Backgrounds' stamp set.

The tab pulls the card from the envelope, and we attached money to the back. There's plenty of room to add a Gift Card too.

I found the 'party' stamp from the 'Tabs for Everything' stamp set, and I went to work using the 'Stamparatus' for the repeat stamping.
I personalised the greeting, and the 'Happy Birthday' sentiment is a sneak peek from a NEW stamp set 'Itty Bitty Birthdays' found in the Occasions Catalogue available 3rd January, 2018.

The pocket is created using the 'Envelope Punch Board'.

Measure your card, and create an envelope that houses the card you have created.

I literally snipped away one of the sides to create the opening at the top, and wrapped a belly band around the pocket to hide the joins of the envelope.

Thankyou for paying me a visit, and don't forget to get creating and make your 'Party' themed project and join in our fun challenge.

Merry Christmas to you and yours, and see you in the New Year!

Colour INKspiration #CI47

Welcome to my blog, and to the Colour INKspiration Colour Challenge #CI47
Thankyou for hopping from Tanya, and her sweet creation is just gorgeous!

This Challenge is for you as well. Create a project using the Challenge colours below, and you can upload your project to our gallery here.

Shaded Spruce, Blueberry Bushel, Crumb Cake & Powder Pink.

I have created the cutest 'Triangular Treat Box', thanks to Sam Hammond, or otherwise known as 'PootlesPapercraft'.

This little 'Triangular Treat Box' has been on my 'To-do' list for quite some time, 

and I have finally made one!

I started with 'Crumb Cake' cardstock - one of my all time favourite colours, and grabbed my trusty 'Envelope Punch Board'.

Click here to visit Sam's Blog, and get ready to make your own little treat box.

You will need: Cardstock 21cm x 12.5cm (5" x 8 1/4") you get 2 Treat Boxes from 1 sheet of cardstock, 'Stampin' Trimmer' or 'Simply Scored', 'Envelope Punch Board' (to round the corners of the flap), 'Paper Snips' & 'Tear & Tape Adhesive'.

And this is how tiny the Treat Box is... perfectly fits 1 Lindt Ball - this one is Gingerbread! And it can fit a lovely little gift, other than a Lindt ball.

With the scrap of cardstock left over from the 2 boxes, I have made a Gift Tag. 

Using the Gift Tag die from the 'Hometown Greetings Edgelits Dies' for the tag and adding the same element to the front.

I love the 'Powder Pink Shimmer Ribbon' tied with the 'Linen Thread'.

Now that we are almost half way through December, and Christmas cards have been made and sent?!, it's time to create the boxes and tags. I hope you like my little creations?

Thankyou for visiting, and next on the Blog Hop is Jacque with her always amazing creations. Enjoy the Design Teams projects and we would love to see yours too.

Until next time. D x

Celebrate the Season - Creation Station Design Team Blog Hop

It's the Creation Station Blog Hop time.

We are in December, and we are 'Celebrating the Season'.
You may have hopped from the amazing Andrea, and I love having you here.
Enjoy the Design Teams creations...

I have created some cards using an Australian Christmas Carol called 'Six White Boomers'.

Boomers are large kangaroos - so can you guess which stamp set I have used?

Here is one of the 'White Boomers'. 

A pouch filled with Christmas gifts and a Teddy Bear.

Yes, the gifts were coloured, then fussy cut.

I stamped the Santa sack full of gifts and a teddy bear, and coloured in using 'Stampin' Write Markers'. Then armed with my trusty Paper Snips, I got to work fussy cutting. (I made a total of 10)

'Six white boomers, snow white boomers.

Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun.

Six white boomers, snow white boomers

on his Australian run.'

Click here for the lyrics and song.

'Ho! Ho! Ho! 

Who needs snow?'

I have used the '2018-2020 In Color Designer Series Paper' for the colourful backgrounds. Non-traditional Christmas colours, but lovely and bright for the White Boomers.

There is another reason I created these cards.

This past Friday and Saturday nights, I had a stall at the

 'Made in Kiama Handmade Night Market'.

For the past 6 weeks I have been creating up a storm with as many cards and gift tags

 that I could manage. 

I had the best 2 nights, reuniting with Market friends old & new, 

and the best customers, EVER!

This is my very last White Boomer Christmas card, and it sold. Some are off overseas; Canada, UK & Jakarta! That just makes my heart sooooooo happy!

My set up half way through Friday night. There was no time for a selfie/Facebook live or a photo of my stall set up.

Next on the hop is my gorgeous friend, Tanya from Queensland. 

You are going to love her amazing project.

And this is Tanya and I when we attended OnStage in Brisbane 3 weeks ago! Love her. D x
