Last week I made these cute little birthday cards, for two
very special boys ...
The brothers were turning 5 and 7, and if you look closely, on
Carlos’s card there are 5 stars on the balloons, and 7 stars on Reuben’s …
I just had to break out my new stamp set “Freaky Friends”, as
the monsters are sooo cute!
I used the “Circles Collection” Framelits and Owl Builder
Punch for the balloons.
Continuing the theme of the stars, I used the Confetti Stars Border Punch on the card insert + the "Geometrical" stamp set for the sentiment …
For the matching gift-wrap, my daughter stamped up some plain white tissue paper with the
“Freaky Friends” stamp set in Hello Honey, Old Olive and Tempting Turquoise …
Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and if you

Happy craftin’,
Kathe.

Yesterday
we celebrated my niece’s birthday, and I just had to make her a sweet little “Envelope
Scrapbook Album”, with the help of my new Zutter!!!
The
colour theme just had to be Purple, as this is her favourite colour.
I even
wore a purple Clarity dress to her party!
The Album
cardstock is available on Clearance Rack at the moment and is called “Cheerful
Treat” Designer Paper Series.
Because
she was turning just 7 years old, I wanted to create a child-like card, that
she could easily maker herself; hence the Cupcake Builder Punch is used, and backed
onto Purple Glimmers Paper.
Inside
the card, I stamped the words “Hooray For Today” which is also on her Album,
but this time I added googly eyes, instead of Brads.
Inside
the Album pockets, I tucked in lots of punched shapes, such as Hearts,
Cupcakes, Birds and Butterflies, using a variety of my Stampin’ Up! Punches –
please see below for a list of all Punches used.
Included in
her gift a packet of “Note Cards and Envelopes” #131527.
So now she
can make her own cards with the xtra cute punch-outs.
Wah lah child’s
version of a “Envelope Scrapbook Album” done!
Happy
Birthday Jasmin!

We were
smack bang in the middle of craft class, when the 1st power cut hit
at 2pm, and we were without power for about 45 minutes.
Luckily
we weren't using any electricity other than lighting on today’s project.
The second
power cut hit at 8.15pm and fortunately all those that had booked for the evening
class had cancelled, as some of the roads were out due to trees falling over!
Thursday’s
class we had a full house with Bev, Jenny, Lizzy, Raewyn, Ruth, and Sue in attendance.
We made a
cute “Envelope Scrapbook Album”, with the help of my new Zutter!!!
I made 3
samples in advance using Designer Series Paper “Watercolor Wonder”, and retired
but available on the Clearance Rack “Beau Château”, “Tea For Two” and this
afternoon, because I couldn’t help myself and it’s Easter, I made another using
the “Cheerful Treat” DSP!!!
The
Stampin’ Up! Envelope Punch Board is used to make 8 envelopes. The cardstock
started out as 6”x6” and matched on the Board to make an envelope to fit a 3”x4”
card. The first score mark is at 2 5/8”.
Crumb
Cake is used for the cover of the Album, and I experimented with stamping in “Sahara
Sand” the “En Francais” and “Hardwood” background stamps.
“Watercolor Wonder” Designer Series Paper
The “Needlepoint
Border” Embossing Folder are featured and brushed with Ink, from either of Island
Indigo, Sahara Sand, and Soft Suede.
“Natural
Composition Specialty” is sponged with Island Indigo or Soft Suede, then the “Scalloped
Tag Topper” Punch is used at both ends. Add some gorgeous “Crochet Trim”, add a
bow of either Bakers Twine or Twine, and add a safety pin from the Vintage Trinkets.

The Sentiment
is then layered on top …
On “Naturals
White”, the sentiment is from the “Geometrical” stamp set, and hand coloured using
a combination of Old Olive, Island Indigo, and Early Espresso Stampin’ Markers.
Using the “Chalk Talk” Framelits and Big Shot, cut out the sentiment, then add
a cute little Antique Brad, and some Pearls to the “o”s, and then layer on
Dimensionals.
“Tea For Two” Designer Series Paper,
retired but available on the Clearance Rack
A line of
cute ribbon in “Ruffle Stretch Trim” in Baked Brown Sugar, and on the retired
Beau Chateau Album, I have used the retired “Pleated Satin” ribbon in Blushing
Bride, is placed on the bottom edge of the Album{S}. The Cheerful Treat Album,
has Strawberry Slushy Ruffle Stretch Trim.

After
using the Zutter to bind the Album, I have tied various ribbons in “Stretch Ruffle
Trim”, “Chevron Ribbon” and “Stitched Grosgrain” to the coils.
To finish
the project off, each Album has a matching Pen, with a piece of matching DSP
Cardstock cut 4.5’x1/2” and is placed around the outside of the pen and
inserted into the barrel.
Wah lah “Envelope Scrapbook Album” done!
