La La Loopsy Punch Art Card


Hello hello!

I did a quick Craft Room Tour Scope on Friday night before I went out for dinner and a concert and one of my followers saw a card in my stash that she liked.


@tracey_pink (profile pictured above) wanted some more info so I was happy to share that at the end of the Scope but thought I'd also follow that up with a tutorial!

The original card is on the left and the recreated card is on the right. These are so quick and easy to make. I recommend you give them a try. Here is the tutorial: https://ktch.tv/8yfG




Vicki from Vicki's Craft Cave was inspired by my Scope to create her very own La La Loopsy card. Love it Vicki, thanks for sharing it with me!

Tracey from Periscope posted this to my Facebook page last night showing me her version!!! I'm so excited she saw the Scope and made her own La La Loopsy Doll. It makes me so happy!!

That's it for me. Until next time, happy stampin'!

Easter Cards & Basket

Hi there!

Unfortunately I do not own any Easter stamps, apart from sentiments found in some stamp sets. I love Easter projects and found some great inspiration on YouTube. 

This card on the right was CASE'd from US demo Tami White. While I had the Work of Art stamp set out I thought the chevron patterned image would look great on an Easter egg too. I jumped on Periscope to create the card on the left. Here's the link: https://ktch.tv/8tBW 

These 2 cuties were inspired by fellow AU demo Libby Dyson. I loved her concept of the bunny popping out of the rabbit hole. I had to create one in Pink Pirouette and one in Soft Sky. This punch art bunny is way too cute!!!

The final project is this fabulous Easter basket. I love Blushing Bride and Mint Macaron together - such a great combination. I just had to use the chick from Honeycomb Happiness (a Sale-a-bration freebie) together with the Honeycomb Embellies for the tag. I found the tutorial here: http://youtu.be/5pRSioWtBMI

Thanks for stopping in. Until next time, happy stampin'!

OTP - Treat for Mum

Hi everyone!

Next week marks the first anniversary of my beautiful Nans' passing - 20 October 2010. I thought my Mum would need cheering up, so I decided to send her a little treat. Nan and Mum shared the love of all things ginger. They would eat it by the bucket load, and when I saw ginger shortbread, I knew this was the perfect little 'cheery treat' for Mum. I've also been making magnets for Mum over the years with little sayings and messages on the back. The tag on the front actually doubles as a magnet! It comes off the wrapping and has a special little message on the back for Mum.

Creative Elements

Hi everyone!

I am patiently awaiting the arrival of this stamp set, but got the chance to use it while I was at my "mini retreat/PJ party" this weekend. I hope you like these cards as much as I do!

This card has quite a few techniques on it including ribbon scrunching, punch art and creating flowers. I love the way they all tie in together.
Card Recipe:
Stamp: Creative Elements
Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla
Ink: Early Espresso, Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler
Punches: Scallop Circle, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border, Modern Label
Tools: Crimper
Big Shot: Blossom Party Originals Die, Petals-a-Plenty Embossing Folder
Embellishments: Basic Pearls
Ribbon: Very Vanilla 1/2" Seam Binding
Other: Shimmer Paint


For this card I've used the rock n roll technique to give the butterfly a gorgeous effect.
Card Recipe:
Stamp: Creative Elements
Cardstock: Old Olive, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla
Ink: Early Espresso, Marina Mist
Punch: Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border
Tools: Crimper


...and last, and most certainly least. I just couldn't get this card right. According to the colour coach, these are complimentary colours, but I had to go back over the Pretty in Pink and stamp with Chocolate Chip! The flower pots are made from the Round Tab Punch and are quite cute, but all in all, not happy with this one.

Card Recipe:
Stamps: Creative Elements, Pocket Silhouettes
Cardstock: Old Olive, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla
Paper: DSP Paper Stack (retired)
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink, Old Olive
Punch: Round Tab
