25th Wedding Anniversary

I  made this swing card (in the scallop circle style of the previous post) for Sue and Craig who celebrated 25 years of blissful marriage last week. What an achievement!!
And Craig asked me to make one for him to give to Sue;

Stamp Club Night

I taught these cards to my Stamp Club on Tuesday and will teach them again to my regular club on Saturday (sorry full up).

If you are interested in joining a stamp club, or regular monthly classes please email me for details. A new stamp club will be starting in October but if there is enough demand, I can start another one in September. If you prefer to just attend on a casual basis please let me know what you are interested in learning and what days/nights you prefer and I will organise something to suit.
I learned this card from Crafters Anonymous group.

My punch art "Harry Potter" card

This is the card I designed for my great niece's 10th birthday last weekend. Needless to say, she is mad on Happy Potter:) The card presented a little challenge. What do you think of the outcome?

Pressed Flowers

I always wanted to try this technique and I have to say my first attempt was not pretty. Hey but now I have my "Blossom Party" Bigz Die, there is  no stopping me:)
What do you think? I bet you don't know how I did the middle flowers with DSP? ha ha, I can teach you of course ( and the secret is that is does use the same Bigz Die but in a different way). If you are interested in learning this technique, please email your interest and I will make a date.

This one I made for a friend and customer who is convalescing after an operation. The pic is not as good as I'd hoped but I have used the little clear "Bitty Buttons" that came out in a previous mini but are still available $9.75


I placed self adhesive rhinestones in the centre of these flowers

Fancy Fold Cards

This one was taught (to me and my fellow demonstrators at a recent training) by Bron Heslop.
The stamp image is one that is sold on its own called "Sail Away" and is from the Autumn-Winter mini catalogue. By the way, this mini comes to a conclusion at the end of this month so if you want anything from it, you best order it now:) 
On this one I have used the Mother of Pearl technique behind the stamped image.
The stamp image is from "Every Moment" in the main catalogue.
