Window Card

I decided it would be fun to make a card for NZSU challange which is to make a window card. I used the Full Heart punch to make the window and then punched out a Riding Hood Red heart and placed it thru the window. I have hand cut the flower heart, glittered it and raised it using dimensionals to give it a 3d look. This is a super quick and easy card to make, great if you are in a hurry. If you want to have a look at some of the other cards in the challange go to nzsublog.blogspot.com

Here is the inside of the money holder card

Here is a picture of what the inside of the money holder card looks like. I thought it would look nice stamping an envelope using the same Santa that is one the outside of the card, it really does look soooo cute.

Voucher, money or Lotto ticket holder

Everyone loves getting money, vouchers or a lotto ticket for Christmas so I decided to teach everyone in my class how to make this really cute Christmas card / money holder, looks so much nicer than just handing your family or friend an envelope. Everyone loved it and alot left saying they intended to make up a few more to give away at Christmas time, who know you may even end up being one of the lucky ones to get one lol. This is also alot of fun to make and very easy so if you would like to host a workshop just send me and email or give me a call so we can arrange a time that suits.

Hanging Gift Pouch

I think this little hanging gift pouch is really cute and a fantastic idea for Christmas. One of my very talented team mates Juliette and I teach classes in TeAwamutu and Juliette thought this would be a hit with the ladies in the class. Unfortunately I did not get a photo of the one Juliette made but believe me it was awesome, she used the tea cup from Pun Fun stamp set and put a couple of the long sachets of coffee in it, everyone loved it (thanks Juliette). Anyway I decided to carry on teaching the hanging gift pouch in my Hamilton and Rotorua classes and changed the theme to Christmas and made the little box a little bit wider. I have poped the Christmas tree up using dimensionals and then attached it on the box using dimensionals as well, add a little bit of ribbon and glitter and you have a fantastic little gift to give someone special for Christmas. This is ideal for hanging on a wine bottle, thin door handle or Christmas tree.

Check out my swap

We had a training day in Auckland on Saturday and this is the swap that I made for the day. I decided that I wanted to create the effect of Rudolfs nose glowing in the dark so I brayered on the white card from each corner inwards. I coloured Rudolfs nose in and then used Crystal Effects to make it appear raised and glowing. The cirlces have been popped up using dimensionals. I just love the Holiday Lineup set because you can create so many fun cards and 3D items with it. If you would like me to come over to your place and teach you how to make something like this let me know.

I have been spoilt again

When I was at the training day I was very spoilt and I got this wonderful card from Ria to congratulate me for getting on the incentive trip. The card is big so Ria had problems trying to find an envelope that was big enough to post it in lol. It was lovely to catch up with Ria again and I was thrilled when she handed me such a beautiful card. Thanks for taking the time to make it for me, I will treasure it forever.

This is soooo cute

A group of us went to Auckland for a training day and had a wonderful time, while I was there Janine kindly gave me this really adorable little present that she made for my daughter Natasha. Janine got the idea from an English blog called Mainly Flowers. Natasha loves it and it took her a whole 2 seconds to want one of the lollipops inside the bag lol well that is a surprise aye. Anyway to cut a long story short I decided I would open the bag because that little cat is just far to cute to risk anything happening to it. Thanks alot Janine you are such a talented and caring lady, it is people like you that make this world such a nice place to be.
