Christmas countdown #4

I couldn't decide what colour was best for the elf on the shelf's feet ;)

I love cookies

I love the Sesame Street characters and they make great card ideas... here's one for my friends 2 year old...

Happy birthday dad

Big celebrations for my Dad's 70th this year... involving beer...

A little monkey for a first birthday...

Chinese new year of the sheep

Oops I totally forgot to share these with you in February... yes, it's the year of the sheep!

I made these... lion around

More from my recent invites commission for a baby's first birthday today.  The rest of the set...

Lot's more punches for this card... and lots more cards:

Punch art piglet

I thought this punched pig was so cute when I saw it, I had to make a card for my sister...

Punch art flower card for Mum

It's been a while since my mums birthday, but here's the card I made her as I haven't shared it yet...

The card uses two of my favourite punches from Stampin' Up! - the Bird Punch and the Owl Punch.

World Card Making day 2014

So, what are your plans for World Card Making Day 2014 - yup, it's today!

I've been busy playing with my stash and trying to avoid looking at anything related to Christmas cards... as it's just too early. So here are a few quick cards that I came up with to stock up my card box with and so I can send them out from time to time. After all a handmade card is so lovely to receive and send and these could be used for many occasions with a different sentiment :).

Here's a close up (please excuse the photo quality!):

Materials:

Boho Blossoms punch from Stampin' Up!

Misc papers and co-ordinating card.

Birthday Minion

Isn't this card cute (even if I say so myself!). A personalise Minion birthday card for a special 5 year old in this case, but it would work for a 50 year old if they are a fan of the film.

I've used a lot of punches for this card which made it easy and finished off with a little sponge daubing :).

Punched pacman

I needed a card for an 'old' friend's birthday... so this is what I came up with. A pacman card made from a variety of punches:

Can you spot the punches I have used?

New baby card with a jungle/safari theme

It seems that baby cards are always blue or pink! So I was excited to get to make something in a different colour, for a specific theme to co-ordinate with the nursery theme, for my friends new arrival.

Here's the card I had fun making with a variety of punches, although I did case the idea from Julie.

Materials
Cardstock - Tangerine Tango, So Saffron.
Punches - Oval, 1" 3/4 circle, 1" 3/8 circle, 1/2" circle, scalloped circle, Owl Punch, Boho Blossoms.

Punch art santa

I'm afraid I've sneeked my current favourite stamp set onto one of the Christmas cards that we made at my Christmas card club session last night :)!

 

Those little alpabets form the Occasions Alphabet stamp set are just great for everything...

 

The card features a punch art santa made from a variety of punches:

 

Scallop Circle

1 3/8 Circle

Word Window

1 1/4 Square (cut in half diagonally to create hat)

Owl Punch (nose and hat bobble)

 

The papers are from the Festival of Prints DSP pack... which is also great for no Christmas cards - check out the Autumn/Winter mini catalogue on page 20 to see for yourself.

 

And if you fancy some of those Googlies - googly eyes, they come in packs of 50 and are just £2.25.

 

I'm placing an order soon so you can also save on postage if you live close to me (GU16) and can collect your products.

Owl treat

Only time for a very quick post today as been working into the night/early hours and back at it again today before I can go home!  The good news is that I have also packed up most of my stuff from the house in Cambridge which I vacate next week, although I don't really see much of an end to working up there anytime soon - but the days will be lessening for a while :).

 

Here's a little treat created by my upline Cate, which she created for a swap at our last demonstrator get together.

 



Full details can be found on Cate's blog.

 

On a separate matter - If you like to travel, please do also check out my other site/blog as I have another trip planned in November and hope to share with you some other travel related content in the coming weeks.

Vellum dress

Tomorrow I have my last chance class - where we will be using products that are retiring this month.  Check out the retiring list here if you haven't done already... as I write this most of the items were are using in the class still remain on the lis,t but don't leave it too late or you will miss out.

 

Here is one of the cards we made at last months punch art class... apologies that the photo isn't great.

 



 

The card base was created from a piece of Crumbcake cardstock and then I attached a length of Very Vanilla seam binding ribbon (tied in a simple knot) across a piece of DSP and then adhered this to the card base.

 

The panel is a piece of Very Vanilla card stock matted behind a piece of Crumbcake card and then the dress has been created from shapes cut from the Scallop Circle punch, 3 layers of vellum embossed with the Beautiful Bouquet embossing folder over a carefully cut DSP Scallop Circle, to create a bodice.

  

After the class I have my Autumn/Winter mini catalogue launch event from 1pm... so why not stop by and take a look at some of the products.  It's a FREE event at my home (GU16) and there will be a project for you to make and take away, just contact me at jadedcrafter@gmail.com to book your place before the end of the today.

Star Wars punch art

When I'm struggling for ideas for a particular theme I always turn to the Web for inspiration.  And for a Star Wars theme Ruthie Nixon-Oneal's card was just what I needed for a CASE.

I've had to improvise a bit with the punches but got there in the end.  A little sponge daubering around the edges and a sentiment from the Happiest Birthday Wishes (retiring item) and then a length of Bakers Twine and it's good to go :)!

 

 

Summery punch art class

This morning I have my Punch Art class and am very much looking forward to it!  My crafty partner in crime, Amy will be missing in action sadly, so one of the cards we will be making is dedicated to her and CASE'd from her too :)

 



 

I've used a Whisper White cardbase and mounted a piece of Old Olive card and a slightly smaller piece of Bashful Blue card onto it.

 

The sheep is created from Basic Black card using the Owl Punch and the body is Whisper White punched with the Scallop Circle punch and run through the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder using the Big Shot machine.  Then finally the legs are made from the Word Window punch.

The 'grass' was created with the Scallop Circle die using Old Olive card stock and then the flowers are punched with the Boho Blossoms punch from some of the papers in the Cheerful Treat (Hostess only) paper pack.

 

Finally a Whisper White Word Window with the sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set, selectively inking the 'just for' from the 'just for you' stamp and then handwriting the 'ewe' using a Stampin' Write Marker.

 

Thank you Amy for the inspiration and we will miss you today... x

 

I'm off to Dymchurch, in Kent, this afternoon... for a spot of camping and walking - let's hope the weather holds off.

Thanks again

I was staying with my Aunt and Uncle last week, up in the Lake District... trying to get away from it all; as well as visiting the memorial trees and replacing the geocache that I have up there in memory of my late partner, Nick.

I always love being in the Lakes, not just for the memories, but for the food and hospitality ;)!  I actually think my Aunt should open up her house as a B&B cos her cooking is great and lots of it comes freshly picked from the garden.

Anyway, as a thank you to them I have made and sent this card... hopefully it's winging its way up North as you read this post.

I have CASE'd the idea from Amy, although with a few tweaks.  I have used a Basic Black card base and then stamped the images from the Just Believe stamp set in Old Olive ink onto Crumbcake card stock.  I have then punched a border with the Scallop Trim Border punch in Old Olive and adhered this under the image panel.

The ladybird was created with the Scallop Circle punch and I have then decorated it with spots and finished off with a sentiment from the Apothecary Art stamp set onto Old Olive card.

Thanks again Susan and David x

Happy Birthday Jamie

It's baby Jamie's 1st birthday today... Happy Birthday little man :) x

I'm on my way to Berlin, but I had to make him a card before I left of course!

I've created the little train by using the Curly Label punch and cutting the pieces of Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight card stock into half, before then running these through the Stripes embossing folder.

The wheels were punched using one of the circles of the Owl Punch and then I have carefully inked and stamped the monkeys in Chocolate Chip ink and added a '1' cut using the Timeless Type Junior Alphabet dies.

The DSP is from the Neutrals Collection paper pack and then I've finished the card off with a sentiment stamp from the Happiest Birthday Wishes (Hostess only) which fits nicely inside a 1 3/8 inch circle punch and onto a Scalloped Circle punch shape.
