Tools

This lovely stamp (Father's Day Tools 3464E) from Stamp It is a few years old now but I still love it and it always sells well at this time of year. 

On the card below the card base was put through the Sizzix embossing folder{Diamond Plate & Riveted Metal} . The American Craft "Chap" paper has been diecut with a Spellbinder Circle die. The wording has been stamped in the circle and this section is adhered to a black circle. The remaining piece of printed paper is adhered to black card. The ribbon is adhered in place and caps (eyelets) inserted. This layer is adhered to a red layer of card and this layer is mounted to the card base. The circle layer is mounted onto the card base.

Do Craft cards

As you may know we have just gotten the Do Crafts magazine in the shop.

Here are some samples of cards that have been made using product from previous Do Crafts magazines. These cards are decoupage cards made using pre-printed layers and look great. 

Thanks to Sharyn and Elvery for sharing their cards with us.

If you would like a magazine make sure you come in and see us. They are only $6 and come with a free gift!!!!

Owls and cupcakes

As soon as I saw this owl printed paper from Doodlebug I just had to get it as the owls were so cute. 

\We matched some Prismatics card stock colours up with the paper and then it sat out the back for a while as we were busy. When Jill had some time she whipped up this very cute card with it.

 It is a gorgeous card that has a special surprise hiding behind the owl. When you pull on the brown tab on the left of the card the brown owl disappears but there is now a blue owl and a matching Dazzler Cupcake. Great job Jill. 

The Dazzler sparkly Cupcakes come in a pack of 8 (various colours) for only $5.50. They are pre-made 3D embellishments that have glitter and bling on the frosting and the cherry. There are great colours in the pack. We have used them on male and female cards. As you can imagine they have been very popular since this card went up. We have also used them on 3 other cards along with the Dazzler Presents/Gift Boxes.

Make sure you pop in to see the card as well as the other male cards we have up on display at the moment.

1 little octopus and 2 easy cards

Jill was playing around with the Octopus stamp from Kaiser and made these two cards. The first card was made using the Spectrum Noir Pens, along with the Sizzix Flower Framelits and American Craft printed paper.

The card below is again using the American Craft paper, Sizzix Flower Framelits but this time the octopus has been coloured in with Liquid Pearls. If you want to know more above Liquid Pearls keep reading....

We are having Liquid Pearl demonstrations this week at Crafty Capers . Look up in the tabs above for the dates and times.

Robyn's egg

Over the last few months you have seen a few of Robyn's gorgeous cards that she has created. 

Robyn (who is also a very accomplished embroider) has also recently taken up making Faberge Eggs. 

She purchases the emu eggs which are empty and come with the door cut out. She then carefully paints it inside and out . The egg is then decorated and for this egg she went with the sea theme. There is a lovely dolphin sitting inside the egg and a mirror on the inside of the door. All of that edging around the door is our ribbon that is ever so carefully glued on by hand.

This egg was made for her lovely granddaughter Lily.

Tigerlily

This display went up last week using the Tigerlily collection from Kaiser and has had a great response from our customers. It is quite a bright display and we have used 6 different shades of orange including Hopi, Saltillo, Marigold, Cheddar, Apricot and Yam (all from the Bazzill collection) to complement the lovely papers in the paper pad. We also used a Stamp It stamp, StazOn, eyelets and Stickles to decorate the cards. The Tonic punch (butterfly strip) was very popular and has sold out but we have more on the way. 

All other product used on this display is available in store.
