HO HO MERRY CHRISTMAS

I love this image from Bugaboo Stamps because it reminds me of my own two cute kids and how happy that I am to be truly blessed to have them in my life. I would also like to thank my girlfriend Vicki for helping me work out my card design, you know what I mean… when you just go blank…. and not sure what to do, and there is a looming deadline. I’ve had my eye on this red & white striped ribbon for a while, and a friend recently gave me some so I’ve used it to add texture to the front of my card combined with the embossed layer.

Winter Bird Christmas Card

I used Winter Bird from The Doodle Garden for my Christmas card and created an extra few branches for my birdy to sit on using my Bird punch, which has been literally gathering dust as I haven’t used it it ages. I also used the punch poo from my snowflake border for the little stars.  I just love snow and this reminds me of all the wonderful holidays I have had at the snow. I remember that moment when for the first time I actually noticed a snowflake on my ski jacket and it looked like the snowflakes on Christmas cards I had received over the years and I realised that is how they really look…this was a more than 20years ago folks when I had lovely young eyes and could still see everything!Vincenzo's 17th November 2012 005

Off to the Races

I love the sound of horses when they run and this digi really adds a bit of race track action. I did not have a hat stamp so I drew this hat with my Copic Multiliner to create a foreground for all the glamour girls out there who wear hats to the races, I could not resist but to add a feather to this hat. I was given this amazing ribbon by a Polish girl friend and it adds such  a nice detail. Race Day October 2012 002  Race Day October 2012 003

Halloween Card

This is the first Halloween card I have ever made. One kid in our street started off the Halloween Trick or Treat tradition a few years ago and it’s grown bigger every year since and even the surrounding streets have followed!! All I could think of was Johnny Depp for Halloween so I used a pirate from KPM Doodles as my focal point, I added smudged eyeliner and dreadlocks(eyelash wool melted with Embossing Heat Gun) and a beard to make him really look ready to Trick or Treat!  I added glitter to my shimmering moon and I created my own sentiments. The pumpkins,moon,ghost, little witch (inside card) and candy bags digis are all from KPM Doodles and I really enjoyed creating a scene. I’ve finally ticketed off my I’d love to do list …my hand punched fence.Anita's 12th Birthday October 2012 038

Inside my card I have floorboards with spiders, very CREEPY!!!

Christmas Card in Black,White & Red

I used Holly’s Stocking from The Digi Garden for my latest Christmas creation. Christmas is coming so fast I only hope to get as many cards made over the next few weeks to be really ready, as a card maker it’s embarrassing  to give out store bought cards. I bought this swirly Winterland  tree die at the last craft fair and it was so exciting to finally use it. On Christmas day in our house we dress up in Santa Hats even though we live in a tropical climate but determined to celebrate the occasion, this image reminded me of our family.  I added some flower soft to her hat to give it a fluffy look and Santa Stocking and a smile to Holly with my Copic Multi Liner because she is definitely thinking about what Santa is going to bring! I also added baby pearl bling as earrings!! Holly's Stocking 001

I love challenging myself to try to come up with something a bit different and added some glitter,stars and snowflakes to add to the Christmas feel.

    Grow With Love

    I picked Watering my Garden digi from Soft Pencil Studios because this activity in Summer is so very relaxing for me and one of my all time favourite things to do at home! I used my Retro Flower Punch in two sizes to create my own flowers and they tone in nicely with my colour scheme.

    Baby Girl Card

      I adore this cute little baby girl in her pram that I picked out at Pink Gem Designs and I just couldn’t wait to colour it in! I always enjoyed dressing my daughter when she was a baby in pretty pink clothes…and still do. Just for a bit of fun I used stickers for a change to embellish my card, and I have thrown a rattle out of the pram in fond memories of my my kids!!! I couldn’t tell you how many times we came home after a day at the shops pushing my pram around and arriving home with baby with just one sock or shoe or missing toys! I did a bit of faux stitching and used acetate to create a bit of a see thru section. I got to use my new Die-namics Flower Border both inside and outside my card and I used glitter glue in the centers. I cut the baby head and bib out and added this as a dimensional layer. I cut my Valerian Flourish Memory Box die cut into three pieces and arranged it to create a Cinderella carriage feel.

    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!!!

    Tilda Easel Card with Pearls and Lace

      On the love heart panel behind Tilda I distressed Kraft card and then stamps flowers and then added the series of tidy dots with my White Gel Pen. I borrowed this love heart Spellbinders locket from my girlfriend Vicki and then used it the sponge the design by placing the spellbinder over my die cut to mask over design,so now it’s embossed and highlighted. I used my Stamp It Sponging Block to distress the edges of a modern pink love heart designer paper panel both inside and on front of card with Kraft coloured ink after I had stamped my flowers. I added lots lace and pearls to create a soft romantic feel to my card and added lots of flowers! I borrowed my girlfriend Vicki’s die to cut the leaves. I added a healthy amount of glitter glue to highlight and I’m so happy with how this card  turned out, even though I didn’t use half the stuff I had out to get my mojo going. It’s funny how cards take a life of their own once you start creating. My husband is glad to have the dining table back for the weekend!

    Bird on a Quilted Card

    I have always wanted to sew with a sewing machine and make a quilt, so with our challenge this week I made a mini quilt for my card and as I don’t have a sewing machine, it’s faux stitching for me!I punched out 16 squares and I used two matching double sided papers. I know I keep using my favorite colours green and pink but they just speak to me! I then taught my daughter how to paper pierce using a Stampin Up product, she got about half of the squares done for me and really enjoyed it until her favorite show came on TV and she dumped me like a bag of potatoes! I then used a very fine marker to make the stiches. I recently cut a few die cuts in white from my girlfriends new dies and she did the same with mine and I used these on my card, it was great to have these pre cut to fiddle with and made the perfect addition to my card!  I used my Copics to colour this cute little bird sitting in a tree called MORNING GLORY and matched these colours to my designer  papers. I added glitter glue to my ribbon bow and I am really pleased with how that makes the ribbon look so much prettier, I am so glad I took up card making!!!Annie the Musical 20th April,2012 083

    Spesch Birthday Card using Paper Piecing

    I have to say I am feeling very special as my girlfriend Vicki Fraser arrived with a card ready to make and like twins we made one each only differing with our coloring in and ribbons and buttons. We used her new Spesch Designer Stamp and she is so very cute, and cut around her so she popped off the background paper. Vicki had already sorted out two paper piecing- firstly the dress and then the balloons and pre cut them both ,how lucky am I! I used my Whispers Strokes Marker to colour her hair,eyes and dress trim and my favorite markers ever are my Copic  Markers E11 & E00 which I used for the face/skin tones.Copic markers are so on my Santa Wish List!Vicki got these lovely rounded bling as a gift with purchase from the Craft Queen, they are so classy.I used some glitter to accentuate her pretty bow in her hair. Vicki cut the grass using her border punch that had a kind of soft wavy line then going back thru the punch off center this time and not lining it up makes grass, too easy! I had a heap of fun making this card!

    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!cardmaking vids 006

    Shabby Chic Tag

    One of the Mum’s at my daughter’s Dance Studio is an ex-police officer and now teaches Child Safety & Protection at Bond University on the Gold Coast, Australia. She is someone who makes a huge difference  in this world we live in and I admire her because she has devoted her life and career to protecting children and teaching others to be like herself. I was inspired to make her something and I decided a bookmark for her text books at work would be perfect!

    The unusual wet embossing technique I used to make the designer paper shabby chic I will put the instructions in my next post!

    Darling Daughter has had a busy few days and competed in the Gold Coast Eisteddfod.

    The school choir routine of a melody of 3 songs was cute and all the kids dressed up like orphans, they didn’t win this year but just being in choir really improves my daughters quality of voice and she seems to sound crisper, not to mention has learnt so much.

    Then she competed in her group dance routines. Under 10’s in 4 sections and she won 1st place in all 4 sections.I am so proud of her and all the effort she has put into her dancing this year, she has a work ethic to be envied. I am now thanks to you tube an expert hair dresser & make-up artist. I’ve also now perfected the art of applying False Eyelashes of which I am so proud of myself.

    Yesterday at my daughters Year 5 Church service all the Year 5 kids did a play and sang. I looked everywhere but darling daughter wasn’t an actor or singer ….what the …..Anyway I spot her she is down at the back of the church coaching the year 5 choir on stage with all the actions and expressions for the kids on the stage.. I was great to see her Year 5 teacher use her talents in such an unusual way.

    After church we headed out to watch hubby coach and my gorgeous son who is 15 play in the Under 19’s Youth Soccer game. I took 100’s photos and really enjoyed watching them both in action . I really enjoyed my weekend!
