Beautiful Bethlehem card

I enjoy layering ink onto cards to give different effects.  This card featuring the Night of Bethlehem stamp set and co-ordinating Bethlehem Edgelits Dies started as a white piece of paper before I got my inks and sponges out to create this night scene.

To create this night time effect, the stars were stamped and heat embossed prior to sponging on Island Indigo and Night of Navy ink.   The town was diecut using Silver Foil paper and layered onto the card.  The sentiment is from the Star of Light stamp set.

Workshops and papercrafting classes are available - please contact me for details.  If you enjoy papercrafting and the Stampin' Up! products you may want to consider joining my team.  Click on the Join My Team link at the top of this page for more information or feel free to contact me to discuss the joining benefits if you live in Australia.

Thoughts & Prayers sympathy card

You never know when a sympathy card may be need for a family member or friend. I unfortunately had to make this card for a friend recently but it could be used as a general 'thinking of you' card too just to let someone know you care.



I sponged the centre focal point with a combination of Stampin' Up!'s Island Indigo, Lost Lagoon and Mint Macaron inks.  To get the sponging straight, I masked off the sides with post-it-notes.  I then used the Thoughts and Prayers stamp set and stamped the tree and sentiment in Early Espresso.  I used the now retired Scallop Trim punch to create the delicate Early Espresso scallop border and added a candy dot in each corner.  The centrepiece was then layered on top of Bohemian Designer Series Paper and an Early Espresso card base.

The key products used on this card have been listed below - just click on the picture and it will take you to my online store where the product can be purchased.  Papercrafting classes are available.

Masculine happy birthday card

This week's card features the masking and sponging techniques.  It also features the Stampin' Up! Banner Punch and co-ordinating Banner Banter stamp set which is discounted by 15% until 17 April 2015 when buying these items as a bundle.


To create this card I used sticky notes to mask off a section of the Very Vanilla cardstock.  I then used a quarter section of the Stampin' Up! sponge to apply the Crumb Cake ink.  Once I was happy with the sponged coverage, I removed the sticky notes and stamped the train from the Traveler stamp set.  I stamped some banners using the co-ordinating ink and cardstock then punched them out with the Banner punch.  I layered the sentiment and banners together and attached them to the card using foam dimensionals.

If you'd like to learn this or other papercrafting techniques, please contact me as workshops and papercrafting classes are available.  The key products used on this card have been listed below - just click on the picture and it will take you to my online store where the product can be purchased.
