Crafty News ...


Hi There My Crafty Friends,

Well I am all "CrazBirded" out after spending the evening looking on Pinterest at all the creations made, featuring the Tim Holtz "Bird Crazy" stamp set and Framelits.
Makes me want to get creative with my own set, and get all "Bird Crazy"!!!

On the home front, the kids started back at school this week, so by the time the weekend comes around, I'm sure they will be very tired!
Reilly turns 14 in 2 weeks, and is in Year 10 at Waimea College {Fourth Form in my day!}.
JorjaRose is 12, 1/2 years old and is in Year 8 at Waimea Intermediate {Form Two in my day!}.

Please check out my Blog www.JorjaRose.com as I have written a couple of articles this week.

Just a reminder about the Sale-A-Bration Catty, in the back of the brochure, pages 16-19, these items are only available till 15th February, or while stocks last {whichever comes first}.
These are the "Sky Is The Limit" stamp set, "Hello" stamp set, and "Perfectly Artistic" Designer Series Paper.
On the 16th, there is a supplementary Sale-A-Bration brochure which will be released.
Here's a sneaky wee peak ...

A New Year = A Card Off With Jen …



A New Year = A Card Off With Jen …





On Wednesday night, Jen and I decided to play with some of the new products from the Stampin’ Up! OccasionsCatty.


As soon as Jen saw the new Catty, she instantly fell in love with pages 26-27, which have the “BotanicalBlooms" stamp set, and matching “Botanical Builder” Framelits, and the “BotanicalGardens“ Designer Series Paper, which are available to be purchased separately, or as a Bundle for $105.75


When Jen arrived at my "Create With Kathe" Craft Class {she arrived just in time for the last project}, I gave her {cause she’s my bestie and I love her to bits} the “Flowering Fields” Sale-A-Bration stamp set, and the “Botanical Gardens“ Designer Series Paper.


Why the DSP? … because I detest the colours featured which are Basic Black, Cajun Craze, Hello Honey, Mint Macaroon, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive and Whisper White.
For some reason, the “Regals”, or deep colours just don’t do it for me, I tend to favour the “Subtles”!
So ... Jen’s mission on Wednesday was to change my mind about the DSP …
For a change, we decided our “Card Off” Challenge was going to be a collaboration, usually on past “Card Off” Challenges, we have a theme, have free range of the “Kathe's Cave Craft Room”, and make some amazing projects!
To see past “Card Off” Challenges, please click the "Card Off" Label to the right.
On this occasion, I was in charge of construction of the “Card In A Box”, and adhering panels of DSP, colours directed by Jen.


Jen’s involvement was making ALL the gorgeous flowers, adhering and titivating all the foliage.
Our joint effort was awesome, and I have to give full credit to Jen, as she did an amazing job with all the beautiful and colourful flowers.



New Year = A Card Off With Jen … DONE!



At the end of the day {or should we say night, as we finished at 12am}, and 3 hours later, Jen went home with her new stamp set and the “Botanical Gardens“ Designer Series Paper, and I think she was really chuffed!

JorjaRose Jewellery, 1 Bracelet = 3 Pairs Of Earrings!



JorjaRose Jewellery, 1 Bracelet = 3 Pairs Of Earrings! ...

Recently whilst visiting the gorgeous town of Napier, I came across this Necklace and Bracelet set, which I purchased from Farmers, on sale for $12 for the Necklace and $10 for the Bracelet.


I had a Farmers loyalty redemption of $20, so the set just cost $2!!
I wore the Necklace and Bracelet that very same day, then went back to Farmers {the next day}, and purchased a second Bracelet for $10
When I got back home from our loooong weekend away, I pulled apart {or deconstructed} the second Bracelet to make these 3 pairs of Earrings!


Love it when you can make a complete set of Jewellery, just by getting out the ole set of Jewellery Pliers, and a bit of imagination!


What do you think? … are you going to try this too?!!!

Storage Ideas With Kathe: Jewellery Storage, Oh My …





Jewellery Storage, Oh My …

So I have been searching in vain recently for my {lost} set Jewellery Pliers.
After spending many hours sitting on the floor of my Craft Room searching, I decided the only option I had left was to buy another set …
Little did I know that this would set me back $24.95!!!


So recently I shopped at my favourite store, Jacqui e, and boy did I get some bargains, like a Belt for $1.30, down from $25, and Scarfs for $3.50 down from $40!!!
I also purchased a new Necklace and Bracelet set.
The Necklace was $19.95, down from $39.95, and the Bracelet was $12.95, down from $24.95


Whenever I purchase a new set of costume jewellery, I always purchase 2 Bracelets, that way I can pull apart {or deconstruct} the 2nd Bracelet, and make a pair of Earrings {or two}!



So yesterday I set to in my Craft Room making some Jewellery, and this is the result …


While I was making some jewellery, I thought you may be interested to see how I store my rather large collection …





The Necklaces hanging are hung on double hooks, which I designed myself. They are stored in my Closet/Wardrobe, that way you can’t see them if you were a burglar looking in through my bedroom window!



I have a rather large collection of Rings, which I store in a container on my Dresser, along with my Earring collection.


Please bear {beer/bare???} in mind that this is 20 years of collecting jewellery, I hate to show you my MakeUp collection!!!

Have I inspired you to try and make some jewellery too?!!

Sending paper-hugs your way,
Kathe.
