Carols of Christmas - Stampin'up

Hello

These cards feature Carols of Christmas stamps and card front dies from Stampin'up

On this card the frame die was cut from the lower section and the stars from the upper area of navy card. The two tree section was aperture cut to the upper half. Double sided tape was placed behind the cut areas and loose glitter added on top. The sentiment is white embossed, ribbon wrapped and tied across  the centre and die cut trees fixed on top along with the stamped and die cut deer.

The corners were die cut from a white panel and pionsettia stamped between to fill the long sides. This was then matted to green card and wrapped with ribbon. The die cut flowers were then coloured and inserted back into the corners. The sentiment was stamped, matted to green card then mounted centrally over the ribbon

On this card the frame was die cut from the upper and lower section of white card. The sentiment was then stamped. This was then matted on to red foil card. Ribbon was wrapped and tied and the die cut trees added. A red foil flower and green leaves were die cut and added to the bottom corner.

All panels were mounted to white card bases, and gem stones added to finish off the designs.

Dreamcatcher Necklaces...

Good morning,

It's a beautiful day here in sunny Queensland! Today's post is another jewellery post - this time dramcatcher necklaces. Once again using beads from my stash and beads from the same Australian Online store Beads Online.

I purchased a selection of different webs, attached rings to the top and selected a range of beads and feathers to attach to the bottom. 

From the Kaszazz Stamp Set - Dream Catcher, I have used two stamps for my packaging - The dreamcatcher image and...

"If you really want to catch your 

DREAMS you have to chase them"

So be sure to do something today to take you closer to your dreams!

Mermaid Necklaces...

Hello,

For another change from our Christmas creations, here is the selection of Mermaid necklace and earring sets I have made recently.

Using a selection of beads from my stash and from an Australian online store (Beads online) I created 5 different sets...

Here is a closer look at the pendants - mermaid, shell charm and beads...

This is how I packages them for my market stalls...

Mermaids are just so beautiful, just like the double rainbow I saw from my house this morning!

Have a lovely day,

Country

Hello

I have had this post sitting in my drafts for a while, so we will have a non Christmas bonus post for today.

This group of country themed cards was created with the guys in mind.

For this card I used paper and stamps from Kaszazz Australian collection.
The tractor was stamped with archival ink on to patterned paper, then masked.
The windmill was then stamped over the top.
The farm dog was stamped in black on to reddish coloured card then fussy cut and mounted in front.
Brads were added to the windmill centre and the top left corner, and the panel then layered on to brown card.

On this card I stamped the horse (Ink a dink a do) on to white card and then masked it.

The canyon and the eagle (Stampscapes) were then stamped over the top. The background was shaded with dye inks.

The image panel was layered on to blue card, brads added to the corners of the image panel, twine knotted across the lower section, and candy dots added to the lower right. The whole panel was fixed to a white card base.

These cards use the Country Livin stamp set from Stampin'up. The sentiment, tree and bird are stamps from Kaszazz.
The left card has washi tape (Kaszazz) placed across the top of patterned paper which was layered on to the green card base. The sentiment, boots and guitar were stamped on to card, fussy cut then mounted to the card. The second card has the ute stamped on white card, masked, and the tree and bird stamped on top. The background was coloured with dye inks, and the panel added to blue card.

A little inspiration for those country lovers you know.
