A little gift...

Hey there! After the kraft-y cards I made last time, I thought i'd make a mini this time. Mini books are just so quick and easy. This one i've made for my sister who celebrated her 40th birthday recently...

I used scribble sentiments and the wedding invite sets of stamps for this project... I stamped the tiny star over the number '40' using staz on. It's a cute little star and is great for making your own backgrounds with, or stamping over numbers and letters! I stamped on the little box birthday using scribble sentiments. I love this set!! :D

I then stuck the '40' down, slightly over the stamped 'birthday'.

The little box holds a small mini, which is atc size made from chipboard... one side I covered with a photo and the other I journalled on and stamped the cute little cupcake from the scribble sentiments set. For the front cover I also mounted the words 'on your day' which were also from the scribble sentiments set. I think thats why I love this set so much, alot of the words can be stamped together to make a sentence or they can be used alone.

By repeating the design on each page gives uniformity and makes a sweet little gift! I just hope she loves it as much as I loved making it :)
Thanks for looking

3 and counting....

We’re at the 3rd trade show.... this year !!!!!!
To say I’m tired is an understatement, but there’s something about the shows plus adrenaline that just keeps you going.
There’s nothing better than teaching people new techniques and that’s what these shows are all about. That and having fun of course !!!
We’re all set up...this is the calm before the storm ;) we have so many new things to show this year, it makes it all the more exciting.
One of the best things about trade show shows is meeting up with buddies in the industry and even though I see Leandra and Mark (PaperArtsy) every week (we quiz together) it was great to go out with them last night.

Richard and Mark look like they’re praying, when in fact they were having a bald off 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Steve has more hair than both of them put together so as a gesture of kindness he hid his. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣  It’s now 6am, I’m ready to jump in the shower and get this day started... think of me standing from 8am to 6pm.... I hope you get to sit a lot m…

One for the Mums ...

In celebration of the fabulous Catherine Pooler Inks about to hit the store, I thought I'd pop a little card on here. Take a folded card base, I always make mine from card stock, then I know the piece on top is going to match perfectly. then cut a smaller piece and perforate the edges, you can use a perforating blade, if your trimmer has one, or there are many dies out there that do this in a snip ! Using the WOW! Embossing Powder Layered Hearts Stamps, I inked up and stamped using the Catherine Pooler Daydream, Aquatini and Skylight Inks.
Embellish with a Uni Ball Signo White Gel Pen, one of my favourites !!!
Finish off with the Mothers day sentiment from the WOW! Embossing Powder Everyday Sentiment Stamps, inked in Versafine Onyx Black, adhere with foam pads. Check out PAPERBOX for a great selection  of card stock. Thanks for looking
