2009 Christmas cards for Phoebe's teachers...

I had a great time playing with my Gypsy to create these... I LOVE that you can squeeze so much onto a 12" mat without any wasted paper.

I used Gypsy Wanderings for the scalloped oval and welded Joy from Hello Kitty Font.... covered it in kindy glitz of course!! I used Winter Woodland for the holly... which is sprayed with Gold Glimmer Mist but it doesn't show in the photo. The berries have dimensional magic on them for a beautiful shiny gloss finish.

The paper is from Kaiser Christmas Carnival collection.

and here's some more...
Thanks for looking & happy crafting!!

Secret Santa matching Christmas Card - Kaiser

A very quick and easy Christmas card to match the gift... vey plain, if I had more time I would have made it much nicer... but I had to rush to get it express posted ... I had also made Jackie a few charms to hang on her Gypsy stylus... so I attached one to the front of the card by using a tag tree from Very Merry Tags Cricut cartridge. The paper is Kaiser from the 6" Lilac Avenue stack. I love the little tags at the back of the stack... very cute and great if you need a quick and easy card.

Second photo shows the charm a little better... another dragonfly and green bead because her Gypsy sleeve is green. Thanks for looking & happy crafting!!!

Aussie Secret Santa project - Kaiser Recipe Stand

I was lucky to have Jackie Russett drawn out of the hat for me to make a gift for... her favourite colours are Green and Mauve... and she loves dragonflies... she has just purchased a new KitchenAid mixer so I thought a recipe stand would be an appropriate gift!!!


I was very excited that my Gypsy arrived just in time to use it for this project... it arrived on Friday and I was supposed to have the gift in the mail by today to get it to Jackie in time... fingers crossed it arrives by Friday for the online Secret Santa party!!!

I used the Kaiser Recipe stand that I purchased from Mister Turtle... Rebecca has amazing prices below the RRP for all her stock.

The papers are from the Kaiser Q2 Lilac Avenue collection, co-ordinating Bazzill and the bling is also Kaiser from Mister Turtle.

I've used my new Gypsy for the lettering which is from Gypsy Font and the dragonflies are from Gypsy Wanderings.

I had so much fun creating my very first Kaiser Beyond the Page project... it was even more fun doing all the designing on my Gypsy!!!! I'm in LOVE with my G!!!

Simple Birthday Card for 6 year old Erica

Very quick birthday card... last minute as usual... I'd wanted to make a Hannah Montana card as we got her a HM doll but I 90% of my craft room is still in storage so I didn't have the right papers.

I'm happy with how it turned out but I think it's a little bit too heavy on the left side with embellishments... I'm sure a 6 year old isn't going to notice though!!!

Materials used:

Kaiser Patterned paper, bling and flowers

Bazzill cardstock

Alphalicious Cricut Cartridge for "6"

Storybook Font Cricut Cartridge for "Erica"

Letters and number are foam mounted.

Thanks for looking & happy crafting!!!

Bratz Birthday Card

I made this for DD's friend at school... she's turning 5 and DD picked out her present... Bratz dolls and a Bratz convertible car...
I used Inkscape to convert a Bratz colouring book image and then cut the image in SCAL on my Cricut.
Used SCAL to cut the name in MS Script MT Bold font.
Background silver paper is embossed with Love Language Cuttlebug embossing folder.

365 Cards Challenge - Day 124 - DIY: Computer Generated

Day 124 Challenge at 365 Cards was to use a computer generated image or sentiment on your card.
I have been needing to make some cards for boys birthdays, which are always my toughest challenge. Finding papers to suit boys cards is hard!
I liked this Cricut Cut of a 4 Wheeler Motorbike, and decided to make a background paper to suit. I've scraplifted this idea from a card in the Cricut Aussie Card Swap who used a stamped sentiment on the background paper.
Cardstock is DCWV from the Latte Stack. I wish I'd cut the Celebrate before I stuck the bike down... it all needs to move a little to the left!!

Thanks for looking! Happy Crafting. Sharon. xxx

365 Cards Challenge - Day 123 - White Space

Hello! I'm a week behind in challenges... school holidays and it has to rain!!!

Day 123 at 365 Cards challenge is to use the sketch and the white space must remain white.

Unfortunately my stamped image crept onto the white space... but I had fun anyway!

Stampabilities House Mouse Stamp "Mice-Tro" HMD1013

Cuttlebug Embossing folder "Allegro"

Unknown patterned paper and I hand wrote my sentiment.

Not quite how I wanted it to turn out... but the sentiment fits the paper and stamp, so that's a start! At least I finally made a card!!!

Happy Crafting! Sharon. xxx
