Global Design Project #071 - Theme Challenge

Hi Everyone

Looking back on my blog it's been over 4 months since I have taken part in the 

 I am really excited to be creating this week  -  it's wonderful to be a part of something that is worldwide and so much fun.

This week's them is: 


I started crafting just over 10 years ago and like alot of people, scrapbooking was my forte.  Today I don't get to do 12 x 12 layouts as much as I would like to but I have a goal to do more this year.  And that is why I love this week's theme!!  For those of you that are not familiar, 3D and Off The Page (or OTP) are terms used when creating anything that is not a card or a typical 12 x12 page layout; hence the term 'Off The Page'

Getting out of the 'normal' routine of creating and doing something different I think refreshes our creative juices.  We all need a little change in life now and again.

So here is my project this week:


I have use a piece of Designer Series Paper from By The Shore and the new High Tide stamp set available in the 2017 Occasions catalogue.  The colours are Basic Black, Staz On Black, Dapper Denim and Soft Suede.  
I made a little boo boo when stamping the lighthouse (hardly noticeable) but I know it's there lol, these things happen time to time so I just went with it.

There are so many amazing ideas to draw inspiration from so be sure to head over to the Global Design Project to check out more 3D and Off The Page 
projects from across the globe.

January is almost over already but has been packed with awesome deals from Stampin' Up!®  I think the best deal at the moment is free products - yes FREE!!  
How you might ask???  If you live in Australia contact me for more details here 

I hope you have enjoyed reading my post and found some inspiration to give Off The Page projects a try.

Bye for now

Love is in the Air

Hello Everyone

Hooray it's Friday!!!  
And Friday means another week of Project Highlights with the Crazy Crafters Team. 

Gee the weeks are flying by..... already we are at the end of January and February is just around the corner and so is Valentine's Day.  

 Some of you may have seen through my Face Book page that just before Christmas I was lucky enough to negotiate with a local pharmacy to display my cards on consignment.  They have sold 8 cards!!! I am totally over the moon as I thought I would never have an opportunity like this.  So I have been busy this week making cards to replenish their stock.

With Valentine's Day approaching, I thought it would be ideal to include my latest project in the team highlights this week.  

Red and White are traditionally associated with love, so there is no better combination to play with for this project.  And to make creating even easier, everything I have used is in one gorgeous suite - Sending Love,  now available in the new Occasions catalogue.


Starting with Real Red card stock for my card base and layering this with Whisper White Thick.  I decided to use some of the gorgeous Designer Series Paper from the Sending Love 6"x 6" paper stack.  I cut the paper to make a card matt - and the 'leftover' piece was just the right size to create a layer not quite the full width of the card.  I then cut some pieces to create a ribbon effect.  I used the Love Notes framelits dies to make the 4 joined hearts and stamped a small sentiment on the front.


Inside reveals the valentine sentiment, just perfect to write a personal message to your loved one.



The Crazy Crafters Team Project Highlights are every Friday night and you can vote for your favourite.  I hope you feel my project is worthy of your vote and if so you can cast your vote here
We all love receiving comments on our blogs so be sure to check out all the amazing projects from this talented team of demonstrators.

Celebrating

Hello Everyone


Today, myself and many other talented demonstrators in the Crazy Crafters team are highlighting some of our recent projects.  

My entry this week was made for a very special occasion, my only surviving grandparent, my Nanna celebrating 100 years.  But as the sentiment is neutral and not specific, it can be used for weddings or engagements too.

Here is my project....



I used Whisper White Thick cardstock for my card base and Night of Navy for the layer. The Detailed Floral Thinlits Dies are so elegant and universal.  There are many different combinations and effects using this die set and it's really hard to come up with something that someone hasn't done before....this has been cased many times before.

For the sentiments I use the new So In Love Stamp Set from the Occasions catalogue that is available now.  I adore the font in this set and I think co-ordinates with the elegance of the card perfectly.

Inside I kept very simple with another sentiment and a stamped image from the Floral Phrases Stamp Set.
