3 Sisters, 3 Cards ...

I designed this card back in December for one of my “Create With Kathe” craft classes.
Originally I made it with the “Bermuda Bay” and “Coastal Cabana”, but having 3 birthdays this month, all sisters, I made it is 3 different colour combos.
 
For my Auntie Dawn (my Mom’s twin sister), whose favourite colour is purple, I made it in “Wisteria Wonder” and “Concord Crush” ...
 


 
For my Auntie Janne (my Mom’s younger sister), who loves bright colours, I used “Calypso Coral” and “Tangerine Tango” ...
 


 
 
And for my Mom, she received the gorgeous “Bermuda Bay” and “Coastal Cabana” card …
 


 
 
As a wee treat, each of my Auntie's were also given a gorgeous "Lindt Excellence Passion Fruit Intense" block of chocolate with yummy pieces of Almonds ... mmmmmmmm!!!

Paris Themed Card, Book and Key-Ring

Recently I tried my first Modge Podge project,  a Paris themed book, but it is actually a hidden box!
I also made a gorgeous card and matching Key-Ring with flattened Soda Pop Tops.


Paris Themed Card …
I had fun incorporating the new “Follow My Heart” and SAB “Banner Blast” stamp sets, and the matching Banner Punch with this card.
I used the Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Stampin’ Pad on the embossed Pretty Print Textured Impressions to make the card pop.
For the inside of the card I stamped the image twice with Real Red ink, onto a separate sheet of Naturals White Cardstock .
The Chalk Talk Framelits {+ Big Shot} were used to cut the image, I then cut out the word “SOMETHING” out of the second image with my Paper Snips, which was layered with Dimensionals on to Basic Gray cardstock.
I then cut around the edges {of the Basic Grey cardstock}, leaving a slight margin, then layered with Dimensionals on to the first image.
The final layered image was then adhered to the card with my favourite double sided tape – phew!
Although this card was made for my best friend as a birthday card/gift, it could also be used as a sweet Valentine's Card.





Paris Themed Book …
I started by purchasing a wooden box with hinges for $10.50, and transforming it into this cute Paris themed book/box, which I have seen similar for sale at The Mall for $30+!!!
I used 3Ply Serviettes and separated the layers, using just the top patterned layer.
With one thin layer of Modge Podge on the wooden box, I layered the Paris themed serviette on top and smoothed it down. I left to try for 8 hours, and then added a second coat of Midge Podge, and left overnight to dry.
I finished the inside of the box with the gorgeous “Tea For Two” Designer Series Paper, currently on Clearance Rack for $4.69, and grey Ribbon.







Paris Themed Key-Rings …
I flattened the Soda Pop Tops using my Big Shot, with the No. 2 Platform removed.
For the Key-Rings, I used my 1” 2.5cm Circle Punch to punch a couple of the images from the serviettes.
I used Modge Podge to adhere the very fine and flimsy serviette circle to the flattened Soda Pop Top and left to dry.
I then used “Crystal Effects” and a sprinkling of Dazzling Diamonds, and left to dry overnight.
My trusty Crop-A-Dile was used to punch a hole and then I slid a split ring through the Soda Pop Tops to make the Key-Ring.



"Happy Birthday Megan!"

Get Well Soon Dad …

Sorry for the lack of entries of late, had a fright when my Dad collapsed at home, so have been a bit focused on that!
Dad was admitted to Hospital Friday {06.12.2013}, via ambulance, and was finally discharged late Monday night {9th December}.
I tell ya he looked a while lot better than he did on the Friday, after being hooked up to so many machines and watching him gasp for breath.
Would you believe this photo was taken the day before he collapsed, at his work place, he looks so happy and healthy!


Hard to believe the difference, just 24 hours later …
And this photo was taken on the Saturday, looking a lot better than he did on the Friday!



This is the Get Well Soon card that I made in a hurry when I took the kids in to visit him on Sunday.
I chose the "Chalk Talk" stamp set with the words "I'm So Grateful There's You In The World", as the wording had a double meaning.
