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.

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!!

Sympathy Card

I decided that I did not have a Sympathy Card and I wanted to have one ready, so I picked out Inspirational Cross 1 from Stamp Art Designs by Kathryne. I added a dimensional layer on lower leaves and the centre flower and used dimensional adhesive. As soon as I made it I my Mother in Law needed it for a dear friend of hers. A friend of mine designed the sketch for me to use and I used some gingham to contrast with my background paper and colour matched my flower to the gingham. Another girlfriend gave me this lovely ribbon and this worked nicely to match in with my card.

Immies Scarf Christmas Card

Christmas is coming and I’ve now made a start to have a few cards ready in time for Christmas! I used Immies Scarf from The Digi Garden and I love that cheeky smile! I used a metallic gold paper to cut my snowflakes instead of traditional white to give the card a touch of class and keep a warm cosy colour scheme going, it’s change for me as I usually love to use pink and green. I have never been a scarf wearer but my daughter’s singing teacher has insisted we invest and wear them. We have a nice collection of scarves thanks to Nanna Joan who has knitted us quite a few now, so we have lots of colours to chose from when we go out.

Nurse Get Well Wishes Card

For my construction card this week I made a ZIG ZAG CARD. I used this adorable Charlotte is a Nurse from Milk Coffee to make a Get Well Card as I do not seem to have any Get Well Cards in my stash, it also seemed appropriate as I myself have a cough/cold this week. It’s been pouring with rain for days where I live, so I been having a few sleep in’s as luckily it’s school holidays. I recently learnt the trick to half fussy cut and half spellbinder cut my image and I’m very pleased with the result. I used my new Molotow white paint pen which I picked up at the craft fair to add a few highlights to her shoes and dress.

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!!

hAnglar stAnglar Christmas Card with Snow

My perfect holiday involves snow and I really enjoyed making this card with snow. My daughter recently commented on my stamp collection and said “if I really want to enjoy my colouring in, I‘ve got to get some images I really want to colour in”, so I have recently added some new stuff to my collection that visually appeals to me and I got myself some Copics so I can really enjoy myself.The Copics are really my Christmas present early so I will have to wrap them up and put them under the tree on Christmas Eve. I added a railing behind as her background to set the scene and coloured with Copics and added a thick layer of snow(Ice Stickles) because that’s just how it sits on the fence, when it really snows. I love this embossing folder because it looks like swirling snow , yet still pretty and feminine like the soft subtle curves of fresh flowers, and I slightly distressed the edges to add some interest like the way the snow plough clears a slightly uneven path. I used my new Martha Stewart Snowflake Border Punch which was a wonderful find at the recent craft fair. I added the white stars and snowflakes to finish off the card, and to add a (Ice Stickles Glitter Glue)shimmer of blue and coldness to the card to help set the scene. I love these pastel non traditional colours I used in this card with some inspiration from the Shabby Tearoom.

On a personal note my Golden Retriever ‘Honey’ had a dog version of a stroke on Sunday afternoon and poor Honey is at the Veterinary Specialist Centre with hope for rehabilitation, only time will tell. Here is the technical stuff off the internet. In Honey’s case it’s one rear leg. I’m spending as much time as I can at the hospital with her as possible, and went twice yesterday. It’s such a shock to see her so unwell, she is only 7.5yrs old and the words spinal injury are never words you want to hear. She was just playing on the grass when it happened casually sniffing around and then yelped about 20 times, just like that… fine one minute and her life changed the next.

Fibrocartilaginous Embolism. In this condition, a small amount of disc material ruptures and gets into one of the blood vessels leading to the spinal cord. As the vessel narrows, the disc material obstructs it, depriving a certain segment of the spinal cord of its blood supply. Without proper blood supply, that segment of the spinal cord dies, resulting in paralysis. Surgery will not help these dogs because there is no pressure on the spinal cord. Often, paralysis involves only one rear leg, or one rear leg is more severely affected than the other. Complete recovery may occur in a few days to weeks, or there may be permanent damage to a portion of the spinal cord. Diagnosis of fibrocartilaginous embolism is based on the correct clinical signs and a normal myelogram. Definitive diagnosis can only be made after death by performing a spinal cord biopsy.

Keeping positive is essential!

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………

Magnolia Birthday Card

As you can see I got carried away and embossed two layers on this card and then used my sponging block with some chalk ink to highlight the embossing. I adore this cute Magnolia stamp she is so versatile and had a ball colouring her with my new Copics. I saw the balloons inside the card idea on Valita’s Fresh Folds ages ago and finally tried it out and it adds a real cuteness to the Happy Birthday card!

Golf Birthday Card

I made this Golf Birthday Card card for my girlfriends Dad. Clive is 75 today and I was inspired by my friend Vicki Fraser to make this card after she made my hubby a golf card for his birthday. I’m always happy to take bits and pieces no longer wanted in my circle of crafters and the grass and sky are all wallpapers given to me. I love the texture of the green wallpapers they really add a great effect for the grass and the sky wallpaper… well I wish I had a whole roll of that! I used my Stampin Up Scallop Edge Border Punch to make the grass.

Magnolia Singing Tilda

I really enjoyed making this card for my daughters birthday,she loves to sing and my girlfriend Vicki Fraser bought this Magnolia Tilda Singing stamp for me so I could make my darling daughter the perfect birthday card. I paper pieced Singing Tilda to get the dress just the right colour and shaped it to give it a slight curve using my flower tool, before gluing into position. I chose a designer paper that my wonderful friend Frances from Stamp Owl gave me for Tilda’s dress to match the dress my daughter wears on stage that shimmers and sparkles. I used a purple gel pen and highlighted with Ice Stickles Glitter Glue to finish.I wanted to use some shading behind and used my Spellbinder Circle as a mask to get the white edge effect with my Sponging Block and Colorbox Chalk Ink. Then I used the Tim Holtz Alterations Carnivale to personalise the card and add her age using some new Glitter Cardstock. I wanted an unusual shape card and placed Tilda looking down from the top of the card like my daughter does when she’s on stage.

Handmade Flower Card with Martha Stewart Punch by Anita Munro

Please Subscribe to my YouTube Channel Trish and Treasure

My Darling Daughter Anita who is only 10yrs old premade the Flower using all pink flowers but in different sizes, and when she liked what she had made she glued each layer together and added a butterfly bling embellishment to add a bit of her own personal flair. Anita placed a adhesive dimensional under the flower so it would pop off the card for added interest! She used a piece of pink paper and used the Martha Stewart Scroll Heart Deep Edger Border Punch down both sides to create a Lace Trim which she fixed to the card carefully with Glue. Anita added a sentiment using the Stampin Up Modern Label Punch and Stampin Up Word Window Punch and stamped using Colorbox Chalk ink her sentiment from Stampin Up Stamp Set called Teeny Tiny Sentiments.

Anita made this card for her school teacher for her Birthday and I was surprised to see that she had pre written on a notepad what she was going to write inside, which is very cute and thoughtful.

I will enter this card in the following challenges on her behalf:

With Sympathy

When I made this card I really wanted to have a cross on the front. A template would have been an excellent help but I just hand drew it and cut it out as I was keen to keep going to get the result I had imagined and visualised in my head. I love the metal brad I used with the flower it really anchored the card design. An extra layer of darker ribbon subtly popped the soft lace detail trim at the bottom edge of the card. I made my own Shabby Chic designer paper which I distressed and have included a detail description so you can also have a go. I inked all the edges in Denim Adirondack Ink with a Stamp It Sponging Block to complete my distressed look.

Shabby Chic Designer Paper Technique

I chose some designer paper and clear embossed (wet) some swirls and curls, always use your anti-static bag over your paper before embossing.
Then brushed over some white gesso paint when almost dry, removed paint off embossed area. Then waited for all this to dry.
Protect your ironing board with a heat proof sheet like the Tim Holtz one.When paint is finally dry, place a sheet(or a few) of brown paper (not newspaper) over your designer paper and iron off the clear embossing until it vanishes, absorbed into a few layers of the brown paper. Best to use a sheet of baking paper as the top layer before you begin to iron as this will protect your iron base from any potential mess.
It leaves this amazing effect as you can see by my close up.

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.
