Happy All Hallows' Eve

It's that time of the year again when the little trick or treaters come knocking at the door.  I made these pouches to store some special chocolates for just this occasion.

These pouches were created using the 'diaper' fold.  I decorated the Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper using the Spooky Sweets bundle, which includes the Spooky stamp set and Bat punch (which can also be bought separately).

Here's a close-up of the pouches.

If you like this project, I also conduct papercrafting classes each month - please contact me for further details if you live in Melbourne, Australia.  Private classes for you and your friends can be arranged for local crafters.

All the good things

Exams are just around the corner for a lot of students, my son included.  Here's a card I made featuring the Stampin' Up! All The Good things stamp set which has a sentiment that is perfect for students as they do need perseverance & courage to successfully get through.  It also features the new distINKtive stamp design.  The All The Good Things stamp set can also be used for other occasions too.

So what is a distINKtive stamp? It's a style of stamp made by Stampin' Up! that adds monochromatic dimension to your stamped image - something you used to have to do using several stamp steps.  So with one fish stamp and some inks I was able to get a varied look in just one pass.

Here's a close up of the distINKtive fish from the set.

When I think of Spring, I think of weddings and blooming flowers.   I made this card featuring the very pretty Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper - just change the sentiment and it could easily be a wedding, birthday or all occasions card instead of an Anniversary card.

To create this card I started with a Stampin' Up! Very Vanilla card base layered with some Petal Pink cardstock which had been embossed with the Quilt Top Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I then cut down a piece of the Delightfully Detailed Lasercut Designer Series Paper and layered it over the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper and added it to the card base.  The sentiment was stamped using the Detailed With Love stamp set and layered onto the card.  A bow using the Tea Room ribbon completed the card.

Starting my Christmas cards

I was demonstrating cardmaking today at my local shopping centre and thought I'd make a start on my Christmas cards.

This card was inspired by a recent Stampin' Up! publication and features the lovely Peaceful Poinsettia stamp set and co-ordinating thinlits bundle, along with the Cherry Cobbler and Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends all available from my online store. Have you started making your Christmas cards as yet?

The Stampin' Blends make colouring images so easy. I run introductory classes on how to use the Stampin' Blends which are an alcohol marker, so if you'd like to learn more, please let me know.
