Gifts For Friends

Hello again!!

Welcome to another week of the Crazy Crafters Team Project Highlights. 

Today I would like to share a project I was asked to make by a work colleague.  Her daughter is changing schools at the end of the year and she wanted to give something special to all her classmates as a little farewell gift.

I was trying to come up with ideas when my son Alex asked me to help him with a word he didn't know in his reading book...............then it hit me....................

Bookmarks!!!!

All kids love to read so what better way to say farewell and be remembered!!

So here are my creations

I used a variety of Designer Series Papers and the layered with coordinating card stock.  I then stamped the card stock to create a unique background.  Then, using a few of my favourite punches and framelits, I created some little characters and adhered them.  I chose some sweet sentiments for kids like, 'toadally awesome', 'friend to friend' and 'just for you' and added some funky ribbon to finish off.

The finished bookmarks will have her friend's names on the front and a little message from her on the back (I didn't photograph the end result for privacy reasons)

I think they turned out a treat!

Crazy Crafters Bolog Hop with Amy Koenders

Welcome to the Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with our very special guest, US demonstrator Amy Koenders from stampwithamyk.  You can find out more about Amy at her blog here.

You may just be joining the blog hop here with me, Leisa Pedersen or may have come from the person previous to me.  Where ever you started, don't miss a single post. There are so many talented demonstrators in our hop today.

Today we are asked to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) any project that has been created by Amy.

This is Amy's card I have chosen to case:

Halloween is becoming more and more popular here in Australia and my son Alex loves dressing up and going Trick or Treating.  We decorated the front of our house with cobwebs, spiders and lanterns and he asked me to make a card this year to celebrate the occasion.

And here is my card:

  I used Pumpkin Pie as my base and layered with Basic Black and Whisper White.  I then stamped the vampire from the Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set and the spider webs, spiders and sentiments from  the Spooky Fun stamp set.  I coloured my little vampire with Stamp Write markers in Pumpkin Pie and Smokey Slate and then cut 2 labels with the decorative label punch.  The black label I cut in half and used as a border around the white label.  I stamped the inside with a simple sentiment and spider webs.

I hope you have enjoyed our hop so far.

There are so many amazing ideas to draw inspiration from so be sure to continue your journey on this blog hop by following the list to see who’s up next!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

My project today I made a little while ago for a friend who was having a bout of bad luck and just needed a break. I thought I would try and cheer her up a bit with this simple card.

I used Whisper White Thick for the card base and layering, complimented with Tempting Turquoise. Images are from Flourishing Phrases and Thoughtful Branches and I added a few Basic Jewels for a bit of bling.

Hello Everyone

Hope you all have had a great week....I am back again for another week of the Crazy Crafters Team Project Highlights.  

We have so many talented demonstrators in the Crazy Crafters Team and the creations each week are stunning.  I hope you take the time to follow the voting link below and see for yourself how amazing these ladies and gents are.

I must admit I had a little help creating this week from a wonderful member of our team, Angela Westland.  Angela has a fabulous tutorial for this project and many many more on her You Tube channel.   

Why not subscribe to her channel so you don't miss any of these great projects!!

This weekend is my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary and I wanted to create a special card to reflect the occasion. So here it is....

Using the gorgeous Detailed Floral Thinlits and Gold Foil Sheets I made the gates - I then adhered these to Very Vanilla card stock, then mounted the whole front to Cherry Cobbler card stock.  I decorated the gates with 2 hearts, Silky Taffeta Ribbon and a few basic Pearl Jewels.  All sentiments and images are from the Floral Phrases stamp set which compliments the thinlits perfectly.

On the inside I kept it pretty simple with a vertical border and sentiment.

It was my first time trying the Detailed Floral Thinlits and I am really pleased with how this turned out - I think the Gold Foil looks stunning!!

 As mentioned earlier, there are many gorgeous projects in our highlights so why not see them all and vote for your favourites here!

I hope you love my card as much as I do!

Fairy Dust

Hello everyone!!

Welcome to another week of the Crazy Crafters Team Project Highlights. 

I have been so busy the last few weeks and finding it very hard to have time for myself. 

So I would like to share this with you today and my apologies if I have entered this previously.

Here is my card:

I used Bermuda Bay card stock as my card base and matt and Whisper White Thick for my layers.  I stamped an image and sentiment from the new Fairy Celebration stamp set, and coloured using various Stampin' Write Markers.  My colouring needs a lot of practise but I'm getting there. A list of products I have used to create this project is below
