Hello dear Stampin' friends!

I'm able to post a quick card in honor of some of the products that will be retiring on the 31st of May '16! Hurry up if you don't want to miss out on your favorites!

The It's My Party Designer Series Paper Stack is a favorite of mine and with 48 double-sided sheets (12 designs) it will take you a long way!

Some Iridescent Ice Stampin' Emboss Powder for extra sparkle!

My product List

Hints & Things

• I used the Venetian Crochet Trim to add a quirky feel to the cake.
• The tiny candles were punched with one of the punches from the Party punch Pack - the pack also includes a balloon and cupcake punch! to sweet for words!
• This card is not to difficult to achieve and will be one of the cards in an upcoming Kids Class!

As always I welcome your input and I would value you as a customer! For your convenience I'm also adding a list of the items that will be retiring! If you see something you love, just click on the product image to go straight to my online shop! Don't forget to add April's Hostess Code (MXEDMGCD) to orders between $50 and $250  - this way I can  send you a Thank You gift! For how the Hostess Code works CLICK HERE !

Well that's it for now!

It's my Party Designer Series Paper - Punch Art Mouse Gift Bag

Hello!

Only two more days before school starts again! I had so much fun spending time with my two little ones, but I do believe I'm ready to let them go back to school!

Today I'm sharing this little Gift Bag with you! Inside I put a voucher for the recipient to buy his choice of Wireless Mouse! This to me was a very good reason for some punch art! I normally prefer stamping to punch art, but this little mouse is super cute!

Some of the products that I used are on the Stampin' Up! Retiring Product List and only available while stock lasts! So I would say hop on over to my Side Bar and Click on the Going, Going, Gone! image to see what other products we are saying good bye to! Don't forget to add April's Hostess Code (for orders less than $250) when you shop online! This way I get to thank you with a mystery gift! For details on how the Hostess Code works, CLICK HERE ! The code for April is MXEDMGCD !  

This is way past cute!!!

Party with Cake - Happy Birthday! (1)

Hello!!!

It is school holidays here by us (Western Australia) and for now I love having my two home! They are both a little bit under the weather but with movies keeping them occupied,  I have some time to work on this week's posts!

When the Global Design Project Challenge #031 posted their Nature Themed challenge this week, all I could think of was Black on White Butterflies! Easier said than done, because working in Black and White is not my strongest point! Well I stuck to my guns and this is what I came up with...

Definitely inspired by nature!

A Pink color pop!

My Product List

Hints & Things

• I used StazOn Jet Black Ink to stamp on the Vellum, it dries quickly on a non-porous surface.
• To add dimension I cut a few extra layers Designer Series Paper with the Bold Butterfly Framelits.
• Rich Razzleberry ink and the Pink sequins from the Love Blossoms Embellsihment Kit add a pop of colour to the Black and White card! A little bit of Metallic Gold Thread adds some extra sparkle.

As easy as that! As always I welcome your feedback!

Take care!

Party with Cake - Sending many wishes your way (21st Birthday card)

Hello! Hello! Hello!

Two days before school holidays!! Woohoo! In between keeping the kids busy, I'm looking forward to spending A LOT of time in my craft room!

Today I'm sharing my entry for this week's Global Design Project challenge #030 ! The sketch was designed the very talented Teneale Williams ! My card will be going to my nephew who will be turning the big 21 in April! SHHHHH!

I love adding Kraft Cardstock to Black & White!

Teneale's beautiful inspiration!

The BIG (literally)Two One!!

My Product List

Hints & Things

• I simply love the Typeset font from the Party with Cake stamp set greetings - I used Typeset Designer Series Paper for my Large Number Die-cuts and thought that they worked well together!
• To make the 21 pop, I applied Crystal Effects to the numbers and after waiting a few minutes, sprinkled a tiny bit of Silver Glitter over the Crystal Effects! What an amazing sparkle!
• Piercing the Star and the Kraft strip helps to add interest!

I love the finished product! Let me know what you think!
