Finally, the day has arrived!  The Spring Mini Catalogue is on its way.  If you are on my mailing list, keep an eye on your mail box.  If you are not on my mailing list and would like a copy of the Spring Mini Catalogue, email me at Lynn.Powell@geckotech.com.au and I will send one out to you.

Happy stamping!!

Rustic Rooster

This is the first time I have used this Stamp Set from the 2009/2010 catalogue. It is a Hostess Level 2 stamp set.  I quite like it but haven't really known what to do with it.  I was inspired to create this card by a card I saw in a recent Stamping magazine:

Card Recipe:

Chocolate Chip, Kraft, Red Riding Hood and Confetti White cardstock
Red Riding Hood Stripe Grosgrain Ribbon, Hemp Twine
Chocolate Chip, Basic Black & Creamy Caramel Ink
Rose Red brads

Inkspirations Colour Challenge #10

This is the first time I have participated in a Colour Challenge from Makeesha Byl's blog. Makeesha does some amazing work and I love checking out her site for inspiration.

I was originally going to use the Upsy Daisy stamp set for this challenge but once I saw the Holiday Lineup stamp set I decided to use that instead and make a Christmas card. There are three images in this stamp set and they are all so cute!! I have also used the snowflake for the "Season Of Joy" stamp set. The patterned paper is from the Ski Slope Designer Series Paper which is in the new mini catty (out in August).  I thought the colours matched in with the image I used and also with the colours in the challenge.

 

Colour Challenge 2 from Stamp With Alisa

This is a card I created for a Colour Challenge over at Stamp With Alisa.

The colours used were Red Riding Hood, Chocolate Chip, Cameo Coral and Creamy Caramel.  I have used The Soft Summer and Oval All stamp sets out of the NEW Spring Mini Catalogue.  The Oval All stamp set teams perfectly with the new Scallop Oval Punch which is also in the new mini catalogue.

The Spring Mini Catalogue is out in August, so email me now if you would to see the catalogue.

Spring Song

I'm on a roll today!  This is another card I have created using the Spring Song Stamp set. I love this stamp set!

Card Recipe:

• "Spring Song", "Le Jardin Botanique" stamp sets & "En Francais" background stamp.
• Eyelet Border punch
• Hodgepodge Hardware
• Flower Fusion Accents & Elements
• Really Rust, Old Olive and Summer Sun markers
• Watercolour paper< Confetti White, Basic Black, Kiwi Kiss cardstock
• Basic Black Ink

Always

This is a card I created for an engagement party we went to last week. Though you can't see it, the card actually is a tri-fold card with the bottom fold adhered to the middle section on each outside edge. A gift voucher was then placed inside the secured fold.

Card Recipe:

• "Always" and "Baroque Motifs" stamp sets and the "It's Beautiful" jumbo wheel.
• Rose Red, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black and Whisper White Card stock
• Basic Black, Rose Red, Pumpkin Pie ink
• Scallop circle, eyelet border, 1 1/4 & 1 3/8 punches

I didn't have any black ribbon, so I used the Basic Black re-inker and dyed a piece of grosgrain ribbon instead.
