Make and Take - Washers

Hi everyone,

Here's the make and take card I made for last Saturday, it will also be next Saturdays make and take! I might make another card using these, I reckon they're great for all sorts of things. I used the humble plain metal washers that you can purchased in any hardware store, they are available in a range of sizes. Apply a K&Company Glitter Urban Rhapsody rub-on over the larger one, and then layered a smaller washer on top, insert a rhinestone brad through the centre and attach to the flower.

Don't forget these Make and Takes are FREE to make in store.
Every Saturday 10am.

Thanks for looking

Cheers

Cards to share

Hi everyone,

The last few weeks have gone pass in a blur and I'm sure the next few will too!! I have no idea when I'm going to have time to make my Christmas cards, Boohoo.

I thought I would share these two cards with you.

The first card I stamped on sanded brown gloss card with a Penny Black Inc stamp, I like the effect of stamping on sanded gloss card, you get lovely soft paper to stamp on with a rustic edge, that's my opinion anyway he he.

The second lot of cards are using Kaisercraft papers and rhinestone, the stamps are Stamp-It. The rhinestone butterfly was layered on plain vellum and then cut out, the flower rhinestone was layered on patterned paper and cut out. I taught these cards at a Girls Night In, it was a great event and a worthy cause! One lovely lady who attend named Tamara shaved her hair off which was way passed her waist, so courageous and brave.

Anyway that's all for now, take care and thanks for looking.

Cheers Jane

Cards to share

Hi again,

Here are two cards that I made at the Copacabana camp. I actually made 11 cards but some have gone to be published and others were birthday cards that I have already given away.

The Princess card is a large die-cut of a castle that I picked up from The Art Shed and the Princess stamp image is from a Woodware stamp set. I Cuttlebug the bottom portion of the castle to make it look like brick work, the roof tiles I created with a stylist tool and then coloured with chalks.

The Slider card I used Hero Art stamps and a template, there were no instructions to go with it, so with help from my friend Deanne I manage to work it out.

Cheers and thanks for looking.

Distress inks Faux Linen Card

Hi everyone,

Gee I think I've forgotten how to do all this, it's been so long! Glad to be back on track, slowly anyway. Here's a card I made awhile ago with the Faux Linen Technique, then stamped over the top with Distress inks and darkroom door tree stamp set, I love this set!! I have a thing about trees at the moment.

Hope you like it, I will be taking some photos of my cards that I made last weekend. I went away with a few friends and stayed in a house at Copacabana, lovely spot. We created till our hearts content. I even saw some whales just off the beach, I was sooo excited. No one was with me to share my enjoyment boohoo, but I was having quite time, forgot what that was!!

I'll share my creations real soon.

Cheers and thanks for looking.
