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………

Party Animal

I love this new paper design by Kaisercraft called Party Animals. It’s a different style of card making for me as I’d normally class myself as a stamper, but I'm here to try all new things and experiment and recreate a new style for myself. This year I’m challenging myself in as many new things as possible. He’s such a happy and cute bear, he’s adorable!

Best Wishes

I enjoyed knotting the ribbon for a change from the usual bow. I enjoyed the paper piercing but next time I’ll have to use a smaller punched circle to get the piercing into a regular shape circle. I love all the scalloped edges on this card.

Love You

I used my green ink on the stems and directly applied this to the stamp and daubed a lighter yellow colour on flower and then a second terracotta (darker )colour to add variation to the flower colour and keeping in the same tones as the paper .

My Stampin Up Party & Kaye’s 64th Birthday

What a great day we had with all my wonderful girlfriends at my Stampin Up Party. Jane Norrish my talented demonstrator did an amazing class with a huge variety of techniques and it was Sale- a- Bration so we got free stamps with orders over $100. You can never have too many stamps. Everybody brought a plate of food to share and we enjoyed a bountiful luncheon on the front verandah. If you look closely you can see Kaye blowing out the candles on a magnificent Toblerone Cheesecake that I made for her. In the background we played the song by the Beatles “When I’m 64” . We all had so much fun. My husband said I should have another party later in the year because he’d never seen the house so clean. My daughter promptly told all the girls “this house is cleaner than at Christmas”, nothing like a deadline and visitors to get yourself a clean and tidy house.


















Here are the wonderful cards that Kaye sent me as a thank you for her party.



This one is for me,




















and this one is for my daughter. She sang ‘Colours of the Wind’ for all the girls in her Pocahontas  outfit.


Kaye made both these cards, aren't they just so cute!
