As
my Stampin’ Up! Ink Pad Holder is away getting measured, I have temporality put
my Ink Pads in one of the Shelf Mantelpieces, and they fit perfectly!
I was able to store 12 Stampin’ Up! Ink Pads on
each shelf, so each unit will house 36 Ink Pads.
Each unit comes flat-packed and ready for easy assembly,
simply by slotting the pieces together {Punches and Ink Pads sold separately of
course}.
At
only $15 per unit {+ postage}, this is a cheap and easy way to tidy up your
Craft Room.
For purchases, please contact me via kathe.oldham@gmail.com New Zealand enquires only.

don’t forget about the “Big Shot cabinet” that Margarette designed and made to
house her brand new Stampin’ Up! Big Shot!
Well …
today in New Zealand we celebrated Mother’s Day.
I made
this little number for my Mom-In-Law Nola, whom I adore …
This is
the first time I have made a Quilt Card, and it turned out not too shabby {pun intended}!!!
The card
base is Naturals White, and the “quilted” cardstock featured is “Tea For Two”
Designer Series Paper, available on the Clearance Rack.
The
Embossing Folder is the “Square
Lattice” Textured Impressions Embossing Folder
The
teacup is from the “Tea Shoppe” stamp set, available on My Digital Studio
Download. It is in my favourite colour of Old Olive, and fussy cut, then adhered
to the Quilt, leaving an opening at the top for the teabag and sentiment note
to slip in.
The
sentiment is from the “Chalk Talk” stamp set, and is Pear Pizzazz, and the words “I’m so
grateful there is you in the world” is hand coloured with Stampin’ markers in
Pacific Point and Early Espresso. Layered on Dimensionals, and then stapled to
the teabag – yes that is a real teabag and Nola loved it!
Inside
the card, the teacups are coloured with Stampin’ Markers L-R Pacific Point,
Early Espresso and Old Olive.
The
wording “for everything you are to me” is stamped in Old Olive and from the “Petite
Pairs” stamp set.
Although
I don’t {yet} possess a stamp set with the wording for “Happy Mother’s Day” the
wording from these two stamps sets seemed perfect for my Nola!
Quilt
Card … done!
“Tea For Two” Designer Series Paper, available on the Clearance Rack.
Thursday’s
Class was all about colour “Blue”, with Marina Mist and Pacific Point makin’ an
appearance!!!
In
attendance we had Bev, Kay, Lizzy, Lucy and Marion.
We made two projects, a "Spinning Circle Slider" card and a gorgeous card featuring the Stampin' Up! "Mosaic" trilogy of products, the "Mosaic Madness" stamp set, "Mosaic" punch and "Modern Mosaic" embossing folder ...
and
I took
the evening Class off, as I went to a Nutrimetics Autumn
"Girl's Night Out" with fashion styling tips and seasonal makeup
trends, and had so much fun, and met a bunch
of really great ladies.
The
card base is Crumb Cake, with naturals White on the interior.
The
Circle Framelits are used to create a track for the flower to slide/spin
around.
I am
in love with the “Watercolor Wonder” Designer Series Paper, and this is used in
the background of the “track”.
The
main flower is from the “Flower Shop” stamp set, and is stamped in Black StazOn on Naturals White,
and Is hand-coloured with the Blender Pens with the Marina Mist and Pacific
Point Ink Pads. A tiny flower from the Boho Blossoms Punch is added to the
centre of the flower, along with a Large Pearl.
On the
bottom right corner of the card, flowers are punched from the “Petite Petals”,
and “Boho Blossoms” punches, and the leave are from the “Bird Builder” punch.
Little Pearls are added for the final touch
The
flower spins on 2x 10c pieces of real money, connected with a Dimensional.
The
sentiment is from the “Wetlands” stamp set, and on the front of the card is
stamped in Black StazOn, and on the inside of the card, is stamped with Pacific
Point.
Project 2
“Mosaic Madness” Card
This
sweet little card is case’d via a Stampin’ Up! design.
The card
base is Naturals White, which is first stamped with Marina Mist and from the
“Happy Watercolor” stamp set.
The card
is then embossed with the “Modern Mosaic” Embossing Folder..
The
“Mosaic Madness” stamp set and matching and matching “Mosaic” Punch are stamped
on Naturals White in Marina Mist and Basic Gray.
The
Vellum is stamped with Black StazOn form the “Happy Watercolor” stamp set, and
is adhered at the back of the card, covered with a Mosaic.
An
abundance of butterflies from the “Beautiful Wings Embosslits” in Marina Mist
and Naturals White card-stock are added, along with Pearls.
The
inside of the card is stamped with Marina Mist, and features the
“Papillion Potpourri” and “Chalk Talk” stamp
sets, and a gorgeous Large Pearl finished the card off.
Just this
past week I have had two friends welcome baby girls into their lives.
So I just
had to make a gorgeous “Welcome Baby” greeting card for them, featuring a baby
elephant from the “Zoo Babies” stamp set.
The card
base is Crumb Cake, with Naturals White as the overlay.
The base
is stamped with the “Hardwood” stamp in “Sahara Sand”.
And “Sahara
Sand” is also used to sponge the Naturals White card-stock.
I used
the Masking Tape Technique for the sky in “Soft Sky”, and “Sahara Sand” for the
earth, along with the “Gorgeous Grunge” stamp set for the speckled dirt.
The
accent colour of “Strawberry Slush” is used to tie in with the little girl
theme.
The words
“Yippee-Skippee!” are from the “Yippee-Skippee!” stamp set, and “welcome, baby”
and “so glad you’re here!” are from the “Petite Pairs” stamp set
The ear
of the elephant is a ¾” circle of Strawberry Slush cardstock that has been crippled
8x to break down the cardstock fibres. The circle is then separated into 2 pieces,
folded in half and a tiny brad added to resemble a pierced ear/earring!
A Candy
Dot and Rhinestones anchor the corner of the card.
I just
love the {outgoing} Strawberry Slush Ruffle Trim which finished the card of
nicely.
And on the inside of the card ...
