It’s a BAG Thang and girls, we can never have too many bags………..GIFT bags that is *giggle* Here’s some more of those gorgeous and my favouritist paper and cardstock bags…….

A bag for every occasion……even a male-ish occasion like Father’s Day!!! Now that’s just around the corner!! *makes mental note to self*

I think you could even get away with this one for a guy because of the colours……the flower, whilst being a flower, doesn’t have a full blown feminine quality to it………still, the flower is optional

Not only is Father’s Day around the corner, but there is some rather large event that happens at the end of every year……something to do with some large jolly fellow dressed in red……….beats me, but I think it’s only like, errrr, 18 weeks away! So in the spirit of this un-named occasion, this bag fits the theme – again blokey friendly

I’ve created a Colour Tutorial Booklet with written and photo instructions to match for $4. If you’d like a copy, just let me know here

Lovely to see you again!

*phew* That’s a title and a half!

BUT! It’s only a matter of days now until a WHOLE HEAP of stamps AND colours will be retiring I’ve been looking through my stash of “Pics to Blog” and realised I’m running out of time to post ‘current’ projects. I really want to share these one’s with you, even if they are old favourites of mine.

I love making cards but I also love making 3D projects. For a Baby Shower Workshop I held, I created party favours for all the guests using Pink Pirouette cardstock and ink (Mummy-to-be knew she was having a girl) and I filled the little lolly bags with of course, Jelly Babies, hehe.

The Star and Moon stamped images are from the Nursery Necessities set which is on Last Chance List.

As part of my demo’s I created one of my all time favourite gift bags, Box In A Bag. It was the perfect size to roll up two gorgeous baby bibs and pop them in…..

Ok, well, haven’t been around for a few days……been slightly pre-occupied with a new form of creativity *giggles* There’s so much potential for it to really go off with a *BANG!!*

I am just SO EXCITED! Two gorgeous gals, Peta & Jacqui, have given me an amazing opportunity to pander to my nutty side Through their fab business FACE THE ART, they began by offering absolutely amazing face painting – seriously you should see their designs! Over time they have been expanding what they offer to individuals and corporate events around Adelaide. One of these expansions comes in the form of a Children’s Themed Party Host……………..can you see where I’m going with this?? It was so funny ~ they know I love acting and I do love entertaining *gasp! really? lol!* So I was absolutely THRILLED when they asked if I would be interested in joining their team! WOOT WOOT!!!!

So, what’s been keeping me so pre-occupied? Well firstly, my pirate accent needed brushing up on, lol, and secondly, with this new venture comes a new skill to be learnt…….Balloon Art!!

Now is probably a good time to share my phobia for popping balloons……….nothing like facing your phobias head on is there???? And seeing as I was to be a pirate *arrrrgh*, my pirate apprentices needed a sword! I could do it in my sleep NOW but oh my goodness! You should’ve seen the hub-bub I went through to do my first few balloon twists But! Thankfully, I got there in the end…….

So funny that this simple sword design caused me to much anxst! Not to mention this one……

Now I’m having LOTS AND LOTS more fun with it and playing around and increasing my Balloon Art Repertoire

The funny part too is if I struggle with a new twist I just hand it to my husband *lol* He is all bravado like and doesn’t care if the thing goes BANG in his face – that way he is a complete hero when he successfully twists a design with no carnage. Nawwwww, he really would test a mine field for me!

I will post some cards soon….right after I clear the 1000′s of practice balloons away from my desk ~ which my children are absolutely loving!!

If you’re around Adelaide and would like to know more about what FACE THE ART can offer you and your next party or corporate event, CLICK HERE to learn more.

Thanks for *Popping* by! *chortle*

In my previous post, which you can squizzy at HERE, I shared a Soccer Themed Card that I had made for my nephews birthday. Seeing as his birthday is the day before his mum’s (my sis-in-law), I made her a card as well (of course!)…..with no moving parts this time! Lol! As usual, there is a silly story behind this one as well.

Once upon a time (because that’s how all good stories start) I found this fun tutorial on how to make a Punch Art Flower using your Large Oval Punch and Pop Up Glue Dots. The only problem is I can’t find it again! Usually I’m a clever little sausage and bookmark things that grab my attention……this was obviously in my early days of blog surfing, doh! So this little flower is not my original idea but SO SO easy to do and if you DO happen to come across the tutorial and the clever crafty sister who shared her amazingness with us all, PLEASE TELL ME!!!

I knew I wanted to do this flower on this particular card but once I had thought long and hard, I didn’t trust that it wouldn’t get squashed in the travel process as well as the “after storage” process (as I am told my cards get kept…….nawwwwww) Think, think, think……..*lightbulb moment!*

~ Box Card! ~

Now that lit’l flower is safe and sound for as long as the box is……however it could’ve been a case for the “Wet Paint” sign to have it’s own “Wet Paint” sign and so on and so forth

Here’s the ‘card’ part…..

I’ve used a clear plastic sheet to create a window to look into the box. I know I don’t say much about cutters but for this particular project, I love love my Stampin’ Up! Cutter! I was able to work out how far in I wanted my window to start on the front piece of cardstock and how big I wanted it, then with my cutter, start at a few centimetres in from the edge of the cardstock and cut the length of the window. The measurements on the cutting ruler are just fantastic! No fiddly rulers and stanley knives, just simple. (Stanley and I aren’t the best of friends) On top of cutting what I needed to, I was then able to easily switch blades and score lines for my boxes with accuracy using the ruler markings across the top and down the side. Such a time saver!

There’s probably a couple of ways you could create this project. I created two half boxes and slipped one inside the other. For the card part I created a short fold flap on the edge of the card that slipped down the side of the joined boxes and stuck that in with an adhesive. The flower is created by punching out multiple Large Oval Shapes and joining them to a stack of Pop Up Glue Dots. The dots are then covered by an accessory – I’ve chosen a flower from the Filigree Brads set and finished it off with a Circle Fire Rhinestone Brad.

I think my sister-in-law liked it???? I hope you enjoyed this one too!
