My Dog.

The dog was made using SU punches.
I used the SU 2 x 1 3/8 extra large oval punch, SU 1.3/4 x 7/8 large oval punch these can be found on page 105.
I also used the 1 3/4 extra large circle punch, SU 1 3/8 large circle punch, plus 3/4 circle punch these can be found on page 106.

This little fella was quick to make and i enjoyed making him,  I hope that some of you will give it ago  making your own dog card.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my card, please leave feed back.

Simple card using SU punches.

For this card I used the SU two step bird punch and the SU fancy flower extra large punch. Both punches can be found on page 104 of the current cataloge. The last SU punch used was 1 1/4 circle  that you can find on page 106.

I added a clear button to finish it off, and then I stamped thank you from the SU Curly Cute stamp set on page 75.

Thanks for taking the time to look, please leave feed back.

Wedding Cards using all SU products.

Whilst I was in Australia my son asked his partner, Kyra, the mother of his beautiful son Joshua, to marry him. Kyra said yes she would but she would like to come back to the UK for the wedding.

 We spoke about things and I said that I could make the favour boxes and the invites for them. Kyra said that she would like baby pink so once I returned to the UK I looked at my Stampin Up colours and decided that if I used the 3 pinks and let Kyra choose which colour she liked, I was sure to get the pink she wanted.

 I used Blushing Bride, Pretty in Pink and Pink Pirquette to make all below and then gave Kyra the choice. Kyra said that Pink Pirquette was her favourite. I then gave her the choice of the two cards below she picked the one below.

 The favour box below was made using the pillow box die. The decorative label punch and the embosslits die (beautiful wings),  all of which can be found in the mini catalogue until 30th September 2011.

So maybe you know someone getting married and wants to save themselves some cash. They could make the items using the information given here on my blog and save themselves money.

Kyra said that she liked the card directly above but she thought it would be of better use for someone older who might prefer a more classical appearance. If you would like any further information please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks for taking the times to look, much appreciated.

This is another Stampin' Up Demonstrator in Merriwa W.A.

The lady who is facing the camera is Myjalessa Hill who is a Stampin' Up demonstrator.

I made contact with the lady on the left, who is called Margaret, and she told me that the ladies meet up on a Thursday evening and that she would pick me up.

I met a number of other ladies that night and have to say I learnt many things that evening, and would like to say thank you to Myjalessa for allowing me to have the run of her craft room, and also for passing on lots of information. Also, thankyou to Margaret for being so helpful and making that night happen. I wish you all the best with the chocolate buisness. A thankyou to all the ladies for making me feel so welcome and I do hope to meet up with you all again.

That is the end of my crafting times whilst I was in Perth, Western Australia. Thanks for taking the time to look at my blog. I do appreciate it.

Luv to all. oxo

Another craft get together in Western Australia as promised

                                                              Craft Night in Perth

The photo above is Lousie Layton. She is the lady sat on the right. Louise is a Stampin Up Demonstrator in Perth W.A.
My sister was already a friend of Louise so she asked her if she could get some girls together, so Louise asked some ladies and we had a free for all.
Louise gave us choices and me my sister and my friend decided to do a couple of items that Louise had already done, some other ladies decided to do something else so Louise assisted us all to make our craft items.

My sister, my friend and I decided to use the cup cake stamp set and punch, the picture above is what we made with those items.

Last of all is the butterfly card that we really enjoyed. We used the big shot and a big shot die to get the three layered butterflies.

We stamped and then bleached the butterfly to get the pattern.

I would like to say a big thankyou to Louise for organising the evening, and letting me wander through her craft room. We all had a great night hope to do it again.

Thanks for taking the time to look.

I am now home.

Like I said to you all earlier in my blogging I was unable to get the photos from my mobile phone so I would up date you with a couple of things when I got back. Firstly I will tell you about a SU demo
Anne Girlach who was having a class making a cupcake gift card holder.

The picture below is my sister's daughter in law Kerry who had never crafted before and decided to have a go and really enjoyed herself.

The next picture is of my sister Jan who everyone thinks would have been the crafter in our family but she says that due to working with kindergarten kids it does not do anything for her and she will stick to playing poker, but she said she enjoyed the afternoon also. 

Next is a picture that i took but is not very clear but this is of Anne and some of the other ladies she had crafting that day with us.

And last but not least this is my cupcake gift card holder finished for you all to see.

I would like to say a big thank you to Anne for that afternoon we all had a great time and were all very pleased with our cup cakes. Thanks for taking the time to look at my blog please leave feedback.
