  • Inspired by Nature

    Well, time to get back into it all 🙂 Here’s a simple card we made at Linc n Learn this week.  Inspired by Nature was showcased at Convention this year, so I was inspired to come home and make something with it. The little ‘cats tail’ thingys on the grasses are made by punching out…

  • More 5th Avenue Floral

    Okay, so this one didnt really turn out the way intended.  I think perhaps I should have made the card a bit smaller, instead of a whopping big 5 1/2′ square.  The sketch is another from Got Sketch. I tried to colour with the Blender Pen again, but it just gave me so much grief,…

  • 5th Avenue Floral

    Yay!  I’ve finally inked up my 5th Avenue Flower Stamp  🙂  This was a sketch from the Got Sketch Blog, and I LOVE the way it turned out.  So much so, that I’ve coloured the flower again, in yellow-orange tones to make anotherie! The flower has been coloured with Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink, Regal…

  • Flower Pot Card

    So here are all the flowers I cut while having my foils done!  Well not all them, the rest went to my son so he could make a card – his flowers spin! The pot is a pocket card, with a tag inside it that pulls out, here’s a photo of the tag.   I’ve…

  • Sticky Note Holder

    Firstly, I need to apologise for the dreadful photo, I’ll take another one in the morning and replace this one. The sticky note holder was the third project to match the cards we also did. Also incredibly simple, altho I have to apologise to Julie for all the cutting out.  I’ll make sure there isn’t…

  • More Roses

    These two cards make up part of my Border Punch/Mothers Day class I’m teaching tomorrow night.  They are also the colours for colour challenge 13. We’ll also be making a decorated Sticky Note holder, but I’ll wait for tomorrow to show you that one. You can email me at alisacraig@westnet.com.au if you are in the…

  • A Rose is a Rose

    Nearly didnt make the day light for photographing! I had almost finished making this card when I realised that the layout and colours are very similar to the card my dear friend Angela Sargeant has on her blog!  Never mind, I’m sure she wont be fussed. I had stamped the rose and leaf images and…

  • Pun Fun

    I fell inlove with the Pun Fun set way back when it first became available in the US, and YIPPEE for us, we have it now too. You’d think that having 2 boys myself, that I’d have some boy stamps, but I dont.  This set will come in handy I think! I’ve been very good…

  • Upsy Daisy

    Another great new stamp set from Stampin’ Up! called Upsy Daisy, and another simple design. The daisies were stamped and embossed onto Pink Pirouette card, the sponged with Pink Pirouette, Regal Rose and Rose Red.  A little scalloped edging in Kiwi Kiss, layered onto Basic Black, with some Black Grosgrain Ribbon to finish it off….

  • Crazy for Cupcakes

    I think this new set may become one of my favourites! I’ve gone for a very simple design with this card, I was just really enjoying the soft Pink Pirouette, adding more of the Tangerine Tango and Chocolate Chip just made the card very heavy. The card started as a normal A5 folded in half…

  • Bloomin’ with Beauty

    I like the way this card turned out, even hubby was impressed! Instead of my usual aquapainter, I tried out the blender pens with the inkpads and was quite impressed with the results. Card Recipe: Stamps: Bloomin’ with Beauty, Sanded Background Card: Pink Pirouette, Kiwi Kiss, Regal Rose, Watercolour Paper Ink: Black Stazon, Pink Pirouette,…

  • One of a Kind

    This card started as a sketch from Amy R’s blog. The colours are the new Baja Breeze and Kiwi Kiss teamed up with Basic Grey, which is also going to be the first colour combo for Stamps by Mail. Lots of sponging and paper piercing with this card. Card Recipe: Stamp Sets: One of a…
