EVERYDAY HERO - I'M SAD TO SEE YOU GO

As you may or may not know, today the product retirement list has been announced.

While this is a sad occasion, it is also a great opportunity for you to pick up the products you hadn't got around to purchasing before. This long, so I suggest that you take a look directly at on my shop. All items are only while stocks last, so get in quick before they leave us forever...

One of the many items that are retiring to make way for new products in the 2017-2018 Annual Catalogue (June 1), is the Everyday Hero stamp set. This has been one of my favourite sets from the 2017 Occasions Catalogue, while I am sad that it is not carrying over, you are able to use this opportunity to purchase your own copy.

This card is not only simple in its nature but it is also quick to make. While it is fun to spend many hours making wonderful projects, it is also great to have some quick ideas up your sleave as well.

Thank you for joining me today. Don't forget to check out the retiring products in my shop by clicking the picture below. Once they are gone, they are gone.

WASHI WEDNESDAY #7

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I know I missed last week, due to a blog hop commitment but as requested I have another washi Wednesday for you today. This time I have used the washi tape as a background feature.

The sentiment for this Thank you card is from Suite Sentiments, stamped in Melon Mambo. The bling on the card is actually rhinestones that are coloured black with a sharpie marker.

As with most uses for washi, it is a quick way to create interest on a project. If you haven't given washi a chance, I suggest that you do. Feel free to share any of your ideas, as I am sure that the uses are almost never ending.

Thanks for joining me today,
Rosalie

Little Cuties - Kittens Galore

Today I have a couple of quick and simple cards to share with you today.

I simply stamped the kitten from the Little Cuties stamp set on a piece of Whisper White to create a background for both of these cards.

The little kitten in the centre is coloured in using Stampin' Up! Watercolour Pencils and a blender pen. With this orange kitten, I had a little play with the colouring and tried to make him a little stripy.

Have a great day and I hope you join me again soon,
Rosalie

Hi and welcome to today's blog post.

The colours used in this card are from the current Color Throwdown Challenge.

Love Sparkles - Global Design Project #076

I am very excited by this week's Global Design Project. This week is a CASE and I love the layout, so it became the inspiration for my card.

As soon as I saw the layout I knew I wanted to use the dot from Layered Letters Alphabet and then run it through the Petal Burst Embossing Folder.

I used the labels and tags framelits to layer up my sentiment which was "Cheers" from the Love Sparkles stamp set. I then used fine tipped glue and Dazzleing Diamonds.

"Cheers" is a very versatile sentiment - birthday, congratulations, hello. The works. So Cheers to you today.

Here is the card I CASEd.

THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE THAT VOTED FOR MY PROJECT AT THE CRAZY CRAFTERS TEAM HIGHLIGHTS. THIS PROJECT WAS ONE OF THE TOP THREE.

Hi everyone! It's Australia Day here and I thought I would use some of my time today to join in with the Global Design Project #071 and make a 3D item!!

Yes, that's right - this weeks challenge is 3D


Here is my entry.

I love these dragonflies and they are so easy to use on the big shot.

I really like the gold with the Bermuda Bay. I am so proud as this is the first time I have cut my Serene Scenery DSP (141642). No point having double sided paper just gathering dust, it was made to share with the world.  #loveitchopit

Product Highlight- Stylish Stems Framelit Dies

I own a fair amount of Stampin' Up! products as you would expect, but I do not own everything. Well not yet anyway!

This little gem I had over looked, well sort of anyway. The first thing I thought was "Who needs another flower die??", then I moved on. That is until now! I've just seen the Stampin' Up! product video on this set. It has now moved from the "why both" list to my wish list. I had better get selling...

Here is the video which I would like to share with you today.

I wonder if it might creep up on your list after you check it out? Here are some examples made by Stampin' Up!

Pretty cute if you ask me. Personally I love the use of the negative image on cards.

WELCOME TO THE WORLD!!!

Both my husband and I come from reasonably big families. So what does this mean?

Well, it means babies!

We are expecting three so far this year and two could come at any time. So for a change I thought I would be organised and start making cards for the happy parents.

My nephew and his partner are expecting a baby girl. The nursery is all ready to go in lovely shades of purple. So using this knowledge, this is what I have made to celebrate her arrival.

I had a play with the new watercolour pencils in the 2017 Occasions catalogue. Before the release of the pencils I had never even picked up a watercolour pencil before. Although I am nowhere near an expert I am pretty happy with my results. They go on smoothly and are easy to blend with a blender pen. On top of the ease, I also find it very relaxing.

The elegant eggplant piece (the purple cardstock for those not familiar with Stampin' Up! colours) has been flicked with clear Wink of Stella to create a sparkly effect.

Did someone say card kit???

Do you want a way to make 12 birthday cards without the fuss of having to design them yourself?

But wait there is more...tags! Yes, it also includes the materials to make 12 gift tags. This kit may just be your answer.

Take a look at this video to see what is included in the kit and just how easy it is to put together.

What a great variety! I can't believe that it could be so easy to make a shaker card. Did you notice the envelope template? How handy will this be when you are addressing your cards in the future.

This kit could come in handy for to make those last minute birthday cards that you have forgotten, or it would make a great gift.

SHAKE THAT HAMMER!!!

After the fun making yesterdays shaker card for the Global Design Project I decided to give it another go today. This time instead of using the hexagon shaped framelit from the Build It Framelits for my shaker space I decided to use tool shapes from the same set.

As the tool shapes were smaller than the hexagon I needed to have a few smaller shaker pieces. I stamped the screw heads and tacks on to some cardstock and then fussy cut (cut them out by hand)them.

I then added a few stars from Metallic Enamel Shapes (141678).
