Heart Shaped Card -Teddy Loves Hugs & Kisses

I used my favourite colours again Pink & Green and as my daughter said when I had finished my heart shaped card “it’s very bright Mum”, well maybe she is right! We all need a hug sometimes and this is so very cute and bright to cheer anyone’s day, I picked this cute little teddy bear out at Whimsy and the sentiment inside . I borrowed my girlfriends Spellbinder Nested Hearts die (I use it way more than she does) and used my Spellbinder Scallop Hearts for all my layers. The pale pink layer has pretty love hearts and I decided to paper pierce all the scalloped hearts for extra detailing. I tried to make my bear look like he was so loved.. he was losing some fur in places, just like my favourite bear who is so well worn he’s nearly bald!

Christmas Fireplace Card

I love sitting by a nice cozy fireplace in winter and naturally that’s never going to happen on Christmas morning in Australia but hey…I can dream of a white Christmas!!! Here I am with a Christmas card ready in July, there lies a miracle. In fact this is the second Christmas card I made this week, I am on a roll! This year I am trying… and it’s not in my nature, but try I will to get as organised as possible this year. I’m so delighted with this card as I used my new Memory Box Die that I got at the Craft Show and it really adds a pretty dimension. This digi is called Christmas Hearth and it’s from Happileigh Scrappin' and when I saw the cat on the mat I knew it was for me!!! This cat reminds me of my daughters singing teachers cat, and when I’m lucky it gives me some attention and sits on my lap while I pretend to read, but really I just sit on the couch and listen to my daughter sing!

I’d love you to come and Join our Challenge this week at

Stella on Summer Holiday 5 o’clock

This stamp reminded me straight away of my mother in law who will be 83 soon and I know she will show the whole neighborhood this card, and they will all totally love the humor!!! As soon as I saw this image at Bugaboo Stamps I knew it would get a laugh and I love how this image comes with it’s own perfect sentiment!! To add a tropical feel I used a cocktail umbrella and added some bright flowers. I used yellow as my 5% accent colour to go with the blue sky & ocean and used it on the frame of my image and added flowers that I have had in my stash for at least 5 years and finally used them.I actually have a whole drawer of flowers, and as I am a hoarder have amassed a fair few over the years and it’s time to start using them up!!! I really love this sand paper to literally bring the beach to my easel card, there is nothing like the feel of sand beneath your feet..it really makes you feel like you are on holidays!!

I’d love you to come and Join our Challenge this week at

Chef and Hot Pies Tag

It’s winter here in Australia and cold nights and when I’m lucky hubby makes homemade individual hot pies. Mark’s pies are so fantastic and mouth watering delicious… and when I saw this chef image, I just had to have it to work with… as it immediately made me think of my Italian hubby and his brilliant home cooking!! I found this Webster’s acetate frame and I knew it was perfect as I wanted a red and white check pattern on there somewhere just like tablecloths in little Italian Restaurants and this fitted the bill exactly! I created some cobble stones to make this street scene more authentic. Most chefs wear back and white check pants so I got out my Black Copic Multiliner to create these checked pants. I used my Copics to colour this and to create a vintage style green wall with paint half faded.

I’d love you to come and Join our Challenge this week at

Cascading Card with Sparkle

I really enjoy making construction style cards as it challenges me to use my brain a lot more than a standard card base and gives me so much satisfaction to say to myself “I did that”! My girlfriend Vicki came over with the Destructions and we made one each and it’s hard to see in the first photo but I found some cardstock in my stash that was white one side and a coral pink on the other side, so it looks rather tricky! This adorable little angel I used is from Whoopsi Daisy Digis and I generously added some glitter which you can see in my second picture, she “Shines like the top of the Chrysler Building”!!!!!! I ended up creating a whole garden behind her with cascading leaves and flowers everywhere. Then to make sure it was extra sparkly I used a mountain of Bling and splashed it everywhere!! I can now say with conviction that leaf die was an excellent investment towards my stash, and lately has had a serious workout!!!

I’d love you to come and Join our Challenge this week at

Circle Punch Flower Birthday Card

It was a folding frenzy to make this flower card using 9 x 2 inch circles(1 as a base, 8 for the flower). I had a ball making the petals and I think the pearl brad adds that touch of class. It took quite a while to line up the piercing to create that faux stitching look. It’s the very first card that I have ever taken money for and I sold it for $4 to my wonderful neighbor, a monumental moment!!

True Love Circle Card

My girlfriend Vicki and I made this construction style card together and thank goodness for the telescoping card instructions, but like anything it’s easy when you know how!!!It swivels open using the brads,clever design, and I had a lot of fun making it.

hAnglar stAnglar Christmas Card

In an effort to be prepared for Xmas I made this Christmas card for one of my son’s teachers. I wanted to use non traditional colours and decided on pink and green. I’m in the process of mastering the fine art of colouring using Copics and it’s harder than it looks, I thought I was an expert when I was 8yrs old at colouring ! This is the first time I’ve used this image and it’s kind of weird for us Australian card makers to make wintery Christmas Cards as it’s the hottest time of the year for us ,so the thought of be rugged up makes me hot.. so I popped a butterfly,a park bench and some greenery behind my hAnglar stAnglar Christmas girl and sat her in her own field of pretty pink flowers. I’d love to have a white Christmas once in this lifetime and for the meantime I have white flower brads instead of snowflakes to embellish my card and it’s hard to see by this photo I added sparkly glitter on the flowers and the fluffy white sections of her coat and hat and it was just the extra touch this card needed!

Here’s the part that makes, making this card - a little more exciting………

Men's Golf Card

My husband is so sporty and Golf is one of his many loves! I really enjoyed making this card and decided to make my own background using my Provo Craft Circa 12 pts stamp where you can roll the letters around and print any word you like, I have had it for years and only used it a couple of times, mostly because i forgot I had it. I found this golf stamp at the Opportunity shop about 2 years ago and here is finally the card it was destined to be used for. I also finally used my oval punches for the sentiment which I am very pleased about, I will have to use them more often.I was inspired to make this card by the Golf Movie with Will Smith & Matt Damon in The Legend of Bagger Vance, hubby needs a golf angel. I used dimensional magic on the club handle and golf balls to add some dimension. I coloured the edges of the stamp to look tartan as with a last name like Munro I know there is some Scottish blood in there somewhere.

Spellbinder Nestabilities Peony Handmade Flower & Recycling Plastic Bag Tutorial

I received the wonderful gift of socks for a gift and kept the plastic bag with zip to recycle. I made the flower using the Spellbinders Nestabilities Peony using 3 coloured papers, for assembly see my Make a Flower Video on my Trish and Treasure YouTube Channel. I die cut two Stampin Up Sizzix Bigz Top Note out: one in polka dot paper, and the other in white. I used the white one on the inside to hide out the sock packaging details and I used Tim Holtz Alterations Carnivale lettering die, using up scraps left over from my polka dot paper for the lettering inside for ANITA. I made this for my darling daughter! I have also made a YouTube Tutorial so you can see how easy it was to make!

Handbag Card

This gorgeous handbag card was made using a handbag template. I used dimensionals to lift the handbag which gives a nice effect with the embossed card underneath.(Tip: Place the dimensionals so that you can place a gift card or cash in the bag). The ribbon was from a $2 importer style shop and already has the beading attached and stuck under the coloured paper panel on the top of the bag gives a great trendy styling to the bag.

May ALL your DREAMS come TRUE

This is such a cute stamp from a set that I picked up years ago at a bargain shop. I’ve finally discovered if you colour your image in the same colours as your papers it all look so much better. I’m going to save up and buy some Sketch Copic markers because you can clearly see my image is furry because the markers I have seem to do this.It might take me five years to save up for Copic Sketch markers but there is no point only buying one.

I love the the thought that my vice is to be colouring in!

Birthday card

I received this card a little late for my birthday but very appreciated. In my group of card makers we each make one birthday card at the beginning of the year and one of the girls in our group hands you your Birthday card at our monthly meeting, that way we each get a card for our birthday!

I found a great tutorial , this is a great place to resource tutorials and get great ideas for different projects and if you have Stampin Up stamps (if you noticed I have a few) their gallery is amazing where every stamp set has a section and can be hundreds of ideas, great especially before you buy a set to see if you really love what you can do with it.
