G’Day Fellow Stampers,
It is a while since posting, but have not been too well.  Never mind, I have a small project which I ended up obtaining a pattern off SU Demo Pattern Area – great thing about being a Demo, we have patterns at our finger tips!
I have altered it a little to suit what I wanted it for –
Close-Up –
Side View –
Supplies –
Cardstock – Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
DSP – Retired
Ink – Rose Red, Pumpkin Pie
Stamp Set – Great Friends
Ribbons – Grosgrain Old Olive – 6mm & 1″
Accessories – Anywhere Glue Stick, 1/8″ Handheld Punch, SU Dimensionals,
SU Rhinestone Brads – Ice Green – Large & Small
I’ve used SU Felt Flowers – Flower Fusion.  These are great!  I didn’t like them at first, but now I just want to keep using them until such time as they are all gone – another order in site.
For a little something different I’ve used 2 pieces of SU Grosgrain Old Olive Ribbon for a handle.  Adds a little something extra – don’t you think?
Until tmw

Scrap Cardstock…

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment
Hello Fellow Stampers,
I thought I would post a little ditty in ref to our bits & pieces of left over cardstock. 
I’ve decided to do a little project with my left over “stuff”, but more of that later.
Sample 1
Sample 2
Supplies –
Stamp Set – Eastern Blooms, Great Friend
Ink – Not Quite Navy
Card Stock – Not Quite Navy, Old Olive, Really Rust, Very Vanilla
Accessories – Anywhere Glue Stick, Heat Tool, Stampin Emboss Powder – White
How easy is this!  Doesn’t matter what size the little cards are, they always come up great!  In fact, the more varied the sizes, the better I like them!
No Very Vanilla Cardstock has been hurt in this project, only the coloured Cardstock – Earth Elements – and they were from my scraps.
I then used the Embossing Technique for the front.  Doesn’t require anything else. 
Find this Technique Here
I like to make a fresh batch – sounds like cooking.  Opps, I forgot, I don’t cook – of small gift cards every 2/3 weeks which I give to my customers along with their orders.  I try to cater for their tastes in colours, etc as not everyone likes the same thing! 
Not only that, I am totally out of my comfort zone by using the “Earth Elements” but I love the way they have come out!
One more thing, Stampin’ Emboss Powder would have to be the greatest powder I have ever used!  It is so fine & always comes out so lovely!  I love watching the heat changing the texture!
Tip – As long as I am able to punch the smallest circle from cardstock/DSP, I NEVER toss any of it out.
Make sure you check back in a couple of days to view my little/big project!
Until tmw, have a great night

A Note to Say….

Published on by Vicky Wright1 Comment
I’ve just completed a set of 4 Thank You Cards – very easy, basic but a better look than just a plain piece of paper.  Have a look yourselves & see what you think!
Notes
Close Up
Supplies Used –
Stamp Set – Great Friend
Card Stock – Whisper White
DSP – Urban Garden, Urban Oasis
Ink – Pink Pirouette
Accessories – Snail Adhesive
Non-SU – Rhinestones
I love black & pink together, so I gathered my little bits & pieces of cardstock & DSP to make these notes.  What better way to use your small pieces of scrap? 
The “A Note to Say “Thank You” has been typed on the pc & printed.
Until next time, Enjoy
