Howdy again!
I am posting some photos out of order, simply because I am too lazy to think this afternoon. :)

Today we made a card that I had published quite a while ago in Stamping & Papercraft magazine (now called Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft). I let the ladies all choose which coloured cardstock, patterned paper and ribbon they wanted, and the results are just fabulous!!!

Don't forget, you can click on any of the images for a larger view!

This is the original card:(Sorry about the image. I took a gazillion photos,
but it just would not come out crisp!)
To make the card, we used Geisha & flowers stamps (Stamp It), Ralph Waldo Emerson quote stamp (unknown), Stazon inkpad Jet Black, textured cardstock, Corner Punch (Heart) (EK Success), DCWV patterned papers (from the Glitter Stack and Pocket Full of Posies Stack) and ribbons from my stash. Oh, and bling, of course!!

And here are the wonderful cards that the ladies came up with:

Clockwise from top left, these ones were created by: Joan, Barb, Audrey & Heather.

Clockwise from top left, these ones were created by: Vivian, Kristel, Pat & Tina.

And here are all the lovely ladies, from left to right: Tina, Pat,
Kristel, Audrey, Joan, Me, Vivian (Vivian's carer Kerry) and Barb.

Kristel and Vivian are new to our Cardmaking group at Uniting in Work this term. Welcome ladies and thanks for joining our fantastic fun (and naughty) group. :) Hope you enjoy the term!! I know I will.

Thanks for stopping by today.
Happy Stamping!!

Swap cards for Stampin' Up! Oz Style Yahoo group

Here are the cards for a swap I am in on one of my yahoo groups, being run by Roz Veevers. The theme for this swap was open, so I have made some yummy purple cards (surprise surprise lol), using the Zindorf technique again. THe colours are Elegant Eggplant, Perfect Plum and Pale plum. The stamp is from one of Stamp-It's new Self Cling Sets (unmounted plates), this one from siset 010 (mostly butterflies).



Thanks again for stopping by.

Cards for Mum & Dad

Hello there!

Hoping this works. I have put together a couple of slide shows of cards I have made for my parents for their little card box that I made them for Christmas in 2007. Their box is arranged into occasions (ie male/female birthday, male/female generic, new baby, thank you, sympathy etc) and I made cards for each occasion and filled the box.

When they were here on the weekend, they brought the box with them as it needed filling with more cards. I took advantage of the box being here and took photos of all the cards that were in it (I forgot to when I made them originally), plus the cards that were being added.

The first slide show is made with non-Stampin' Up! stamps, mainly Penny Black (I am a HUGE fan of Penny Black images!!) and also stamps from Pink Cat Studios and Stamp It.

The second slider (still to come) is cards made from Stampin' Up! stamps. Slider is not playing nice, so I will pop this one up in a new post asap!!!
