Christmas Gifts Card

This Christmas Tree looks warm, cozy and festive and has a lovely Christmas feeling to it. To create the card, I used a sketch a girlfriend gave me which made it so much easier to make decisions on how to put my card together. I love Christmas morning and all the presents wrapped under the tree. My kids favourite joke present for their father is to wrap his wallet, good for a laugh!!

Star Card

I am now a member of the Design Team at Twist of Faith and here is my card for the first challenge. I made a Star Card and used a paper pad I received Free with Australian Simply Cards Magazine recently, the paper is from Webster’s Pages Petite Papers-Collection Combo Pack. I used this cute Garden Angel from The Doodle Garden. I think the pearl brad gives it a upmarket look crossed with my shabby Chic vintage styling. I enjoyed distressing the edges and also inking every edge as well for additional dimension! I had fun making this card over several days! I borrowed my girlfriends oval dies for my focal point and I’m keen to add them to my Santa Wish List !

Thank You Card with a Family Baked Dinner!

I have only used fabric once before on a card and it was quite a challenge to think what to do for my card this week. I recently went thru my daughters wardrobe and anything she won’t wear or is too small I popped in bags under the house and plan to take it to the Op Shop. I dug through the bags and found a brand new dress she refused to wear and used my Stampin Up Top Note Die to cut the fabric and a Sizzix Hearts Die to cut some old denim shorts of hubby’s for the heart. Hubby nearly had a heart attack at the chopped up shorts until he realised they were the one’s that were too small for him now!! I used my fingernails to pull at the edges of my fabrics to fray the fabric for a Shabby Chic effect.I used a paper pad I received Free with Australian Simply Cards Magazine recently, the paper is from Webster’s Pages Petite Papers-Collection Combo Pack. It’s great when you can use pre colour coordinated papers and the card comes together that much easier, I really love this script paper in the background. I borrowed a Tim Holtz Tattered Florals Die from a girlfriend at my group day last week and it’s such a pretty flower. I used an image from Milk Coffee called I Love you Mom. There’s nothing like a family roast dinner to warm your heart!

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

Card Crafter’s Circle 37th Challenge

Bath Time for Kids

Bathtime is one of my favourite childhood memories and I remember being dried and dressed in front of the heater in winter, that is until all of a sudden… I was too old for that! I used a Dearie Dolls digi called Bath Time . I had fun using some new dies I purchased at the last Craft Fair in Brisbane. I added the waves because when kids and baths get together it always spells… tidal wave…so I added the waves to simulate that for a bit of fun. I also added wiggly eyes to the top of the towel…my kids loved these types of towels!!! Actually one of my kids is a bit old for all that now, he’s 16 and has his Learners Permit to driv and over 6ft tall …. but making this card was like making a memory and I had fun in the process! I made my own flowers so it colour matched exactly to my card. I just bought my first bit of Kraft cardstock and I’m loving it…why didn’t I get more! It’s hard to see but I tucked a tiny bit of lace on the left hand side under the striped paper and this reminds me of my Mum’s bathroom… where she did that folk art about 20 ago and everything had a bit of lace added to it!!!I distressed the edges of my layers to create that fluffy towel feeling.

Christmas Smoochie Bears

I used this Christmas Smoochie Bears Stamp by Stamp Art Design for my Christmas in July card. I have been dying to use my white flower soft on a Christmas card and this was the perfect product to add to the hats to make them look soft and fluffy. I also used my new Memory Box die to give my card some pretty snowflakes and finished off with ribbon with dots. I love this polka dot paper, the dots feel like velvet and add to that warm fuzzy feeling with this card. I’m putting this card aside to give hubby for Christmas as we got married just a few days before Christmas and hopefully he will think this is cute! I paper pieced the jackets and gloves and if you look closely it has faint Christmas running writing through the red designer paper. First I printed onto this image onto White Cardstock and did my colouring in with my Copics and then I decided what paper to use to paper piece with.

For the paper piecing I printed off a sheet of my images using copy paper and then stuck my designer paper down with double sided tape using a 6 x 6 sheet and ran it through my printer again. I did this so I didn’t have any wastage with my designer paper and positioned it exactly so I could use this for another card at a later time and now I have a spare set to fussy cut out when I’m waiting for my daughter at her next singing lesson!

Astronaut Card

I have wanted to make a space card for ages and I’ve often seen rocket ships on boys cards and I was inspired by an article in an Australian Simply Cards to start creating. I started by carefully studying the night sky above my house and noticed that most of the stars were in a bit of a line directly above the house, I think it’s called the Milky Way so I placed my stars that I punched from some Kaisercraft designer paper in a similar line. I used a blank white cardstock card base and created my night sky using only 2 different blue inks Adirondack- Denim and Stampin Up- Tempting Turquoise I applied the inks using my Sponging block just like I had seen Tim Holtz create a distressed background for a bookmark he made me when he was last in Australia. Then I used one of my home made green mica powder mists to help create my arty distressed night sky, that totally shimmers if you hold the card at an angle. I’m very happy with the result. Then my astronaut had to land in a rocket ship which I just hand drew straight onto some silver and red papers, and my daughter reminded me that my astronaut needed a couple of windows in his rocket ship so he could look outside,excellent point and duly noted and added! I made the flag from a bamboo skewer that I coloured with my Copics so it matched my beary cute astronaut.

This first photo is inside the card.

This is the card front .

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.

Flower Bookmark

My friend Vicki Fraser and I made bookmarks together at her place and we each had our own style. We both started with the same colour base card. I riffled through her stash and found a Kaisercraft designer paper pad she used ages ago on a card, which I absolutely adored and couldn’t wait to get started. I used Vicki’s Tattered Florals Flower Die and her Martha Stewart punch and found some really thin string to finish off with a small not too overpowering bow! I really need a bookmark for myself,… every time I make one it ends up as a gift!

Here is the back of the bookmark , you just slide the corner into the page you are reading.

I decided to grab a book from the bookshelf to photograph my bookmark and decided to show you a Australian House and Garden magazine. My husband Mark Munro used to custom build furniture, kitchens, shop fittings and shutters. Here is some of Mark’s work, our business used to be called Munro Originals . Mark built the table, chairs and in the Bedrooms you can just see the shutters. The owner of this house is an artist.

After working for the client he was inspired to paint this for our Lounge Room and it was not long after we had visited Santa Fe,New Mexico,USA and it’s a wonderful reminder of our pre children holiday!!! We spent our time in Santa Fe exploring all the Interior Decorators and Custom Furniture manufacturers in the area and they were happy to show us everything they did which was fantastic. We stayed at La Fonda which was an amazing experience. I love Adobe style housing.

Thanks for visiting and have a great day

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!

Best Friends

We celebrated my girlfriend Roz’s 39th Birthday and I made this card for her. It’s so nice to have young friends! Roz,Vicki Fraser and I went to The Elephant Rock Cafe at Currumbin which is right on the beach front and has an amazing view to celebrate with a lovely lunch. I’m entering this card in challenge all about Friends http://stampwithfun.blogspot.com/2011/07/challenge-121-freundefriends.html and Anything Goes at http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.com/2011/07/simon-says-stamp-and-show-anything-goes.html

I used this photo as an inspiration for my project and am delighted to enter this challenge at the Shabby Tea Room

http://theshabbytearoom.blogspot.com/2011/07/week-72-relax-and-enjoy.html

I wanted to try something new with my Stampin Up 2 Step Bird Punch and I used the cardboard that I had punched out the leaves as a stencil template to create my background paper for my cute little birdie. You can see I also used the bird’s wing as a leaf with my flowers. I used my own homemade mist to add some pink sparkle. I love paper piercing, it is so relaxing so added that as well and to lift my pink background used a yellowy gold background to lift it and put it all on a gold card and voila!

My friend Roz recently took a family trip to Steve Irwin’s Australia Zoo so I cut out a sachet full of mini Australia’s using my Big Shot and my QuicKutz Australia Die in dark green cardstock and popped them inside this cute little heart sachet so she can scrapbook all her photos as I knew she was planning her Australia Zoo pages. I used the template from Papermaia to make this gift sachet then embossed it. Roz loved that I remembered her zoo ideas and was really excited to see all her little Australia's inside the sachet!

Lion King Happy Birthday

I’ve had a winter flu and my kids have been on school holidays(3weeks) and normally that would mean a break but I have a performing arts daughter who auditioned and got a few parts in Jack & the Beanstalk Pantomime at Spotlight Theatre on the Gold Coast,Australia.She played the hen that lays the golden egg and Milky White the Cow(who Jack sells for a handful of beans….. I’m sure she’s worth way more than that!) and a mean and creepy mini monster who belongs to the Giant, a cute villager and a special appearance as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz (sings her solo) who gets lost and ends up in the wrong Pantomime. So she’s only 10 yrs. old and it was hair, make up and go go go(8 costume changes per show). She gave a professional performance next to some very well know TV and Theatre celebrities and had a fantastic learning opportunity to fine tune her craft and learn from the greats in the industry and after 20 performances we are both exhausted …..so life in our household has been so full on.

I’ve also just added the adorable kissing bear at the top of my blog please take as many kisses as you need!

Back into card making which I love and I used this Party Animal paper by Kaisercraft which is so much fun to use.I wanted to emboss the striped paper for added affect and I’m so happy with the result, it really ties the project together.

Penguin Party Time

I’ve been dying to try some new stuff out lately, and my purchase of this gorgeous string inspired me to try it out with some balloons. Ask my friend Vicki Fraser she will tell you how embarrassing I am at the shopping centre when it comes to balloons, I just love them! I couldn’t resist this handsome penguin gentleman who no doubt has happy feet and can trip the light fantastic. Yes, I’m ready to party. I have a thing for bright colours and know the young recipient of this card will love it as much as I do.
