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.

Christmas Cards for the Troops

Our Annual Christmas Cards for the Troops campaign is running again! Each year we have been collecting hand made Christmas cards to send overseas for our troops to write on and send home to their loved ones. Last Christmas, card making friends from around Australia managed to make and send 4,200 Christmas cards to ALL the overseas regions that our Troops are serving in!

If you would like to get involved this year, here are the details...

1. Please have all your cards to me by the 25 October 2011 so that I can send them to Tracey Hanshaw in time before the final cut off date.

2. Could you please provide an envelope for each card you make.

3. Please put your cards and envelopes into a large zip lock bag and clearly mark the quantity of cards on the front of the bag.

4. If you would like to put your name and address or business card with each card you are welcome to. Some Troops or their families would like to contact you to say thank you.

5. Please email me for details of where to post your cards to. You can also bring them with you to any of my workshops.


Many thanks,

Renae

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
Big Shot: Square Lattice Embossing Folder


Thanks for stopping by and happy stampin'!
