Recipe # 3…

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment
I’ve just found another Recipe Page that I had in Draft ready to go, but never did schedule.

We are slowly getting the hang of creating pages for our Recipe Book & I will be the first to admit, I am really enjoying this.  It is great to see my little folder coming to life & I love flipping through the pages to check out the layout of each page – all 4 pages haha.  No, no cooking by me yet!

For one of today’s pages, we again used the same DSP we did last month, I am now out of it.  Great that it could be used in such a way.

Again, the page was left blank for the ladies to place their own recipe.  They really like the idea of the pages being completed this way. 

At each class I have the recipes that the ladies have given me & they are quiet welcome to take a copy of each recipe for their book.  This way, they are getting a copy of other recipes that in some cases have been handed down 2 generations.  Wouldn’t it be a shame for those recipes to be forgotten & lost?

I thought the DSP was very appropriate for the Curry Chicken or is that my sick sense of humour?

2  Adhere Ribbon cross centre of Base, tuck ends to back & tie knot
3  Adhere Very Vanilla Cardstock to Baja Breeze with Snail Adhesive & then to Base

Until next time, Enjoy!

G’day Stampers,
 Well I have managed to return to post the card I finished to match the box posted earlier.

 This time I tempeted a “Hinged Card“.  I have never made one of these.  Seen heaps of them, so took it on board & did my version of it.  I do know there are instructions out there in Blog Land, but I wanted to show the edge around the top, so put my head down & went in blind.
Box & Card Set

Card – Closed
Card Open
Box Top
Side of Box – Close Up
Supplies –
Stamp Set – Wagon Full of Fun, Short & Sweet
Card Stock – Baja Breese, Very Vanilla, So Saffron, Ruby Red
DSP – Sweet Slumber Speciality
Ink – Chocolate Chip, Ruby Red
Punches – Small Oval, Large Oval, Scallop Oval
Accessories – Snail Glue Adhesive, 2-Way Glue Pen, Brads – Ruby Red,
Dazzling Diamonds, Sticky Tape, Watercolour Pencils
 

I’ve just realised that the lid in the close up of the box is not sitting straight, so please excuse that!
I’ve used the little cupcake from Short & Sweet & stamped along all sides of the box.
Until tmw when I will post another different card or project
Enjoy
Vicky

I’m Back…

G’Day Stampers,
Well, I am back & hopefully to post more frequently than I have been.  Once out of the routine, it takes a bit to get back again.
I’ve used a set from the current SU mini-catalogue & believe me, this stamp set has heaps of potential.  Check the mini at the right hand side to place an order!  Since seeing this set, I have had an image in my mind of doing this project, just required the occasion!
I am in the middle of making a matching card but wanted to post the box first.  I have made this for a birthday and want to fill the box with lots of goodies, ie lollies.  What kid doesn’t like lollies?
Box –
Supplies –
Stamp Set – Wagon Full of Fun, Short & Sweet
Card Stock – So Saffron, Baja Breeze, Very Vanilla
DSP – Sweet Slumber Speciality
Ink – Chocolate Chip
Accessories – Snail Adhesive, 2-Way Glue Pen, Dazzling Diamonds,
Aqua Painter, Watercolour Pencils
I’ve coloured the image using SU Watercolour Pencils & Aqua Painter
I applied 2-Way Glue & sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds onto the top of the cupcake, which immediately bought the image to life
Card will be posted later on in the day, so please come back again later on in the day!
Until then, have a great day!
Vicky

Shopping ….

Published on by Vicky Wright1 Comment
I’ve had notebooks sitting in my box of “stuff” for quiet sometime, just waiting patiently to be decorated or something…. to them.  Well today was the day!
With the rose, I have stamped it 3 times onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock.  Using the Aqua Painter, I then picked up bits of colour from Ruby Red and painted the rose.  I then cut 2 of the stamped images where I thought would best suit the flower.  I used dimensionals to create the layers.  I may even add a little Dazzling Diamonds for a bit more of a lift!
On the inside, I’ve covered the top of the notebook with cardstock & DSP.  I’ve randomly stamped 3 images on the pages, using the different flowers & the colours from the front.  I decided not to add any flower on the left side, but instead added a small pocket – Blue Check – which you are able to include your receipts etc.  In the next couple of days, I will do a Tutorial for the cover & instructions relating to the technique I’ve used.
I am going to have to return this set to Jenny this week or she will be thinking she didn’t purchase this set.
Supplies –
Stamp Set – Fifth Avenue
Cardstock – Ruby Red, More Mustard, Whisper White
DSP – Sweet Slumper Speciality
Ink – More Mustard, Bashful Blue, Ruby Red
Ribbon – Grosgrain – Bashful Blue
Accessories – Snail Adhesive, Dimensionals
Until tmw, enjoy this hot hot weather
