Last weeks Class, we made two projects, a Blocks Card
featuring the “Gold Soiree” Specialty Designer Series Paper, and a Suspended Stars Christmas
Card, featuring the Stars Framelits and “Endless Wishes” + “Merry Everything” stamp
sets …
Project 1 Blocks
Card
I am super excited to re-hash this Blocks Card that I made
late last year.
This time I made up two versions, the first {a case via Jacque} a romantic card
featuring the “Gold Soiree” Specialty Designer Series Paper, with a cute little
card/tag that slides into the opening . ..
The second is a Halloween Card, featuring the “Witches’ Brew”
Designer Series Paper {also available on my Digital Studio Download}, and also
has a card/tag …
I love how effective this card is, yet how simple it is to
create + the added bonus is that it can be flattened to allow postage.
Designed by Linda Marie, and showcased on the Stampin’ Pretty
Blog by Mary Fish, you can watch the video Tutorial here …
My Mentor Jacque demonstrated her version via Barbara Bicknell, when she last visited sunny Nelson, so I have used these measurements for the two cards pictured.
The card base for this card is Pool Party, with an overlay of
Pool Party that has had a Star cut out with the Star Framelits, and is then
embossed with the “Lucky Stars” Textured Embossing Folder.
Small stars are then punched out with the Star from the “Itty
Bitty Accents Punch Pack” in Glimmer Paper in Dazzling Diamonds, Silver and Red.
The Stars are then adhered {or suspended} between 2
sheets of Acetate or Window Sheets.
The Banner is stamped in Real Red ink on Pool Party with the
sentiment ”Celebrate The Season” from the “Endless Wishes” stamp set.
The sentiment Banner is then layered on Real Red cardstock
and Glimmer Paper in Dazzling Diamonds.
A Basic Metal Button is threaded with White Bakers Twine and
a bow tied.
For the card insert, the insert is Whisper White and has a
Tag from the “Merry Everything”, which is stamped in Real Red on to Pool Party,
and then punched using the matching “Note Tag” Punch.
A small Mini Brad secures the Tag to the Whisper White
cardstock, and allows it to swing like a real Tag.
A couple of little Stars are adhered to the top left hand corner.
Wah-lah … Suspended Stars Christmas Card done!

What with the “Project Life Cards and Labels” Framelits being
on the Weekly Deals this past week, I thought I had better put a quick sample
together to show my ladies.
This was my first time using Project Life and it was a breeze
to put together {at 2am on the morning!!!}.
My first sample was from the “Project Life Love Story” Card Collection.
The photos are photocopies {from our wedding 13 years ago!}, and I coloured the black and white {greyscale} photo with the Melon Mambo Blendabilities.
I added embellishments in Strawberry Slush using the Blossom, Pansy, and Petite Petals Punches, and the heart from the “Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack”.
My second sample features the Project Life “Everyday Adventure” Card Collection + the “Everyday Adventure” Accessory Pack.
These photos are also photocopies, and of the kids playing with water from approx eight years ago.
For one of the pockets, I added the Washi Tape and Arrow Paperclips from the Accessory pack.
Project Life is super easy to assemble and so fun, and although I still love making 12”x12” layouts, this is a lot quicker and so easy to pack-up and take away on holiday, and make up during those brief timeouts that I am not watching the kids!
Project Life … SOLD!!!

I have been helping out at my daughter’s school these past
Fridays, as a "Crafter Mom".
The children are having a Market Day, where they make, market
and sell their own crafts.
JorjaRose has 2 other little girls in her Team, and they have
been making Mustache’s, Bow Ties and Petite Purses ...
Quite by accident I discovered that the negative detail of
the Mustache
Die formed a Bow – how cute is that!
So far the girls have made 100+ Mustache’s, 15 Bow Ties and 8 Petite Purses.
We still have on one session before Market Day starts on the
14th November.
I have to say that the kids were very impressed with
the Big Shot, mostly the boys, as they were trying work out how the machine
cut. One boy even asked if I was a “Crafter Mom” – how cute is that!
