Stampin' Up! - Fox & Friends - CASE

Dear Everyone

Here is a card I made for my son's first birthday - it's a CASE of a STUNNING card by the extraordinary Lisa Young.

btw...CASE means 'Copy & Share/Steal Everything'....which is card-maker speak for copying a card design by someone else....making minor adjustments but essentially it is someone elses idea...so it's always good "karma" to get permission and then link to the original card creator.

I asked if I could publish my version and she very generously said 'yes'...so please visit her blog and have a look at her original design and all the lovely accessories that she made to match it. She really is SO talented!!




Hope you like my version! :)

Swap card for Stampin' Up! Regional Training

Hello everyone
Thought I would share this card front that I made for the Stampin' Up! Brisbane Regionals that I'm attending this tomorrow.
It's my very first Stampin' Up! seminar where I hope to meet a tonne of like-minded craft nerds and learn some new Stampin' Up! techniques. If you have ever thought that you might like to surround yourself with creative, paper & stamp-obsessed people, then sign up as a demonstrator through me with Stampin' Up! now and you can come with me to the next one! :)

My card was inspired by this card by Adriana Benitez. I loved the combination of yellow and purple and the clean white spaces on her card. You can't see it in the photo, but the main circle panel is slightly elevated on a dimensional so it "hovers" above the card. I figured the "Just For You" sentiment could double as a birthday or a thank you card.

I made 30 of these to swap and I hope to get lots of new ideas from all the talented Stampin' Up! demonstrators that will be there tomorrow! :)

Stampin' Up! - Teneale Williams CASE

Dear Everyone
I have been wanting to CASE this card from Teneale Williams for ages. One of the girls at work asked me for a birthday card, and , since I work at an orchestra, I wanted to put together something with the 'music' Newsprint DSP.....the layout of the main stamped panel is a bit 'off' as I wanted to feature the notes at the top of the DSP....rather than cover it up.

It is a very ambitious CASE, I know.....Teneale's work is just beautiful!

Materials used:
Stamps: Punch Potpourri (retired Hostess), Well Scripted (sentiment), Aviary
Ink: Basic Black, Riding Hood Red, Crumb Cake (for sponging edges)
Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Riding Hood Red, Basic Black, Newsprint DSP, Love Letter DSP
Embellishments: Paper Daisy (coloured with marker), Build a Brad (punched out Love Letter DSP for centre of brad), misc ribbon.
