Train Punch Art

My daughter in-law asked me to create a card for her Grandfather's 80th birthday and it needed to feature a train as he had worked in the industry for years and is still an enthusiast.

I found a tutorial for this card on pinterest posted by Sandy Hancock Thanks for sharing Sandy.

Baby Card

This card is for a friends daughter, I cased this from Lillybet Loves papers here a little different to Elizabeth's as I had to use what I had on hand.

New In Colours

I thought this was a good way to display the new "In Colours" for 2014-2016, I love all these new colours I cased this design from Dzines by MEG I kept the cards very simple to showcase the colours. I white embossed the words.

Cardstock: Lost Lagoon, Tangelo Twist, Mossy Meadow, Hello Honey, Blackberry Bliss, Whisper White.

Inks: Lost Lagoon, Tangelo Twist, Mossy Meadow, Hello Honey, Blackberry Bliss.

Stamp: Swallowtail.

Scrapbook Page

I made this page up after finding a 15 year old photo of my mother and sister, Mum passed away 3 and a half years ago and as my sister was visiting from Melbourne this passed week I wanted her to have the page to take home with her.

Project Life Layout

This page is of our darling youngest grandson, Hunter.

I've used one of the 12x12 Pocket pages from the variety pack, Everyday Adventure Project life card collection, Everyday Adventure Accessory pack, Day to Day Photopolymer Stamp set.

I like to mat my photos so I trimmed the photos, I used the card collection as photo mats.

Petal Parade

I love the "Petal Parade" stamp set and just had to case this card I found on Pinterest. Thanks for sharing Julie Kettlewell I changed it just a little.

Cardstock: Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush, Whisper White

Inks:  Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush, Baked Brown Sugar.

Other: 1/8" Silver ribbon, Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Swallowtail Card # 2

This is the 2nd Swallowtail card I made, this time using gold embossing powder and colouring with elegant eggplant, Wisteria Wonder and concord crush. Can't wait for the blendabilities to arrive it will be a lot more effective and easier, when colouring these sort of stamps.

Cardstock: Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White.
Stamps: French Foliage, Swallowtail

Swallowtail Card

I love how this card has turned out, I found this on Pinterest here when the swallowtail stamp first came out I wasn't sure whether I would purchase it or not, however I am so pleased that I did and have made many lovely cards using it, with differing techniques. The Photo doesn't show how gorgeous the gold embossing on the swallowtail is. I sponged the stamp with Summer Starfruit and Pumpkin Pie The backgound is stamped using the Encore gold metallic ink.
