Dress Up Framelits Collection

Wedding Rose

I had a few dress's designed so last night I put them all on cards.
The elegant black, crumb cake & vanilla "Wedded Rose" is La crème de la crème & my mon choix de l'ensemble.
Not far behind is the "More Amore" Fabric Real Red & Pool Party & this layout is so far the best suited & balanced I think & therefore the make-n-take for my team meeting tonight.
I have to say I have enjoyed creating with the Dress Up Framelits more than any other product to date.
Don't you just love the scarf on "Print Poetry" I frayed the edges of Crumb Cake Seam Binding.
The centre flowers on "Champagne Calypso Floral" have a dot (owl punch) of Champagne Glimmer paper on them, very fussy assembling this one, but worth the work I think. "Print Form" I wasn't sure about but was a like from my recent class.
I had to have a play & extend the dress so tried on Red Glimmer paper, just quickly put this one together, I think it needs some final touches? I do love the Acetate Oval which I did for both "Wedding Rose" & "Red Glimmer".

Happy Mothers Day

A little late in posting, but to cute not to. Inspired by an envelope I saw in I think a past US mini or impressions. Unusual but delightful colour combo of Rich Razzleberry, Peach Parfait, Pool Party & Pear Pizzaz. Lots of supplies used in this card, it was fun to create & I really liked the result & Mum did too.

Beautiful Butterflies mothers day card

A must case from here. I'm not sure how I stumbled upon Anna's blog but when I spotted this card I just had to create it using SU! products, it was super easy & is really pretty IRL.
Colours are I used are River Rock & Blushing Bride, the DSP is from the Neutrals & In colour stacks.
Stamp set is "Elements of Style" & the greeting is from "Occasional Greetings". I embossed the large butterfly die with clear embossing powder & then used an aquapainter filled with bleach to colour the flowers which bleached the colour out to white. The colour you get with bleaching depends on the base colour of the CS you choose. The smaller butterfly has been stamped tone on tone & highlighted with a white gel pen. I edged the trim with the Scallop Trim Border Punch & added some Chantilly Crochet Trim (carried over from Summer mini so still available to order) & a Vintage Brad.

Giveaway for Orders & Echoes of Kindness mothers day card

I realised just the other day that I have an extra "Echoes of Kindness" Level 2 hostess stamp set & I would like to give that away to one lucky winner in a name draw who places an order with me over $75 during the month of May 2010.

This card I made as apart of my recent mothers day gift giving class project, Colours are Cameo Coral, So Saffron, Watercolour paper & Very Vanilla.
We had some fun with Watercolouring (Crayons & Aquapainter). There's a sneak of the Eeyelet Border Punch & Perfect Polka Dot Embossing on the Saffron piece which are enough to compliment nicely the Watercoloured image.

SAS Cards cont... & Blog giveaway.

"Thoughts & Prayers" stamp set is my favourite set, at the moment anyway, lol. Proving to be so so versatile. The branch is "Old Olive" & the Trio Flowers are More Mustard & Ruby red along with the mount piece that has the flowered branch stamped (tone on tone) just on the top left & bottom right corners then layered on the Whisper White card, happy mothers day is from "Occasional Greetings" inked with More Mustard.

Oh I just love this colour combo; Kraft, Baja Breeze & Bravo Burgundy. The sentiment & tree are inked with Chocolate Chip & the Kraft card front has been spritzed with a Bravo Burgandy Marker. Once the image is stamped & the Trio Flowers are added (popped up with Dimensionals), mount it onto the Baja Breeze piece & then adhere the Bravo Burgandy piece behind that. Now you can punch a hole through all 3 layers (where you can see in this pic the knot of the ribbon) this is so you can thread the Baja Breeze striped ribbon, tie it around the layers & into a knot, now that can be added onto the card front with Dimensional.

Hmmm Cameo Coral anyone! Well I think so, it co-ordinates with Raspberry Tart DSP (the flower) just 5 scallop circles with a brad inserted to keep it together then scrunched up. The branch is stamped (tone on tone) in the top left & bottom right corners of the card front. The flower Branch image is inked & then mounted in/onto Kiwi Kiss with a little Rose Red Scalloped piece behind that as well, to tie in the Raspberry Tart DSP used for the Flower. The Sentiment is from "Whimsical Words" SAB.

Blog Giveaway!

I guess it's called "Blog Candy"? I've always wanted to have one of those, lol.
All of the 9 SAS cards are great make-n-takes, the layouts were considered & measurements made to have very little if any off cuts, so great for mass production. I have this very SAS class on again tomorrow & was expecting 6 attendees, 1 has just cancelled leaving me with an extra class kit (CS cut & scored & ingredients list with all measurements), so I just thought why not have it up for grabs until the 28th March, I've already the winning number written down for the person who leaves me a comment in sequence to that number. Make sense? To explain a bit better:  Just say that my number is 7, then the 7th person to leave me a comment on this post will win. 

SAS cards

These are the 9 SAS cards made in 2.5hrs!
10 lovely ladies attended my Sydney SAS class & over 200 cards were made while I was in Sydney last weekend. A huge effort getting organised & prepped I must admitt but well worth the joy & appreciation expressed by everyone who got to stamp with me,
So a BIG THANKYOU from me to everyone who joined me.


I had a wonderful time catching up with you all & hope you are all inspired & keepstamping!

I thought I would post individual pics for those that have purchased the SAS kits as they only included the supply list & measurements.

This 4x4 card is paper pieced with Kaleidoscope DSP & mounted on Tempting Turquoise, the top & bottom present is coloured in with Pink Passion & Tempting Turquoise markers, the 3 stripes have been dazzled with Diamonds (2way Glue pen & a sprinkling of Dazzling Diamonds). The 2 other "Happy Moments" birthday cards are coloured in with Regal Rose & Taken with Teal & the middle present as well as the stripes are Dazzled with Diamonds.


Urban Garden DSP is adhered to the whisper white CS after the silhouettes have been stamped, use the card front as a guide so you have a border showing, then you adhere the Tafetta ribbon (tucked behind) that has Sticky Strip applied all along it, gathering as you go, leave enough to tuck behind at the end. Stamp the antenna's before you apply the ribbon if this is where you want the butterfly, now you can adhere this to the card front.

Simple & great for male cards. The Kiwi Kiss card front has been stamped with "Weathered". The squares are 1 1/4", all you do is punch 3 Whisper White squares & stamp pocket Silhouettes, mount these along with 3 Urban Garden squares onto the Not Quite Navy piece that measures 10.5cm x 7cm, stamp your greeting & punch out with the Word Window punch & wrap it around the NQN mount. Told you it was simple & a it's a great layout for SAS cards, a must try for other DSP & Stamp sets.

The Easel card is posted here
I will be back to post the 3 "Thoughts & Prayers" cards individually so this post isn't to long!

Double Slider card for a Mothers Day card

Finally I got around to trying this Double Slider card, it was fun to make & seeing it in action was such a delight, (when you pull on the ribbon both the top & bottom of the Cameo CS's are revealed) clever chicky who thought of this slider mechanism -genious!
I wanted to use Rasberry Tart papers but ended up just using CS in those colours & Flower Fancy Stamp set.

Wild Rose for mum

I finally mounted my "Frames with a Flourish" stamp set, I silver embossed one on Whisper White CS & cut it out, I 2 step stamped (most with the SAMJ) the "Wild Rose" & leaves in Rose Red & Old Olive, also cut out and adhered with dimensionals. The card is Old Olive & the top has "En Francais" for the background inked in Old Olive, I thought it would be a little tricky lining up the script lengthways, but I got it first time! The bottom of the card has some DS paper in Rose Red, the join is covered with some White Taffeta Ribbon, & the card is finished off with some "Pretties". Happy Birthday mum!

















This one is for my Niece for her confirmation, I love how you can create your own patterned paper from stamps! "Floral" coordinates beautifully with "Wild Rose"

Berry Bliss Mothers Day card

Berry Bliss! I love the way these turned out, a little work in them but I'm sure my mums will love one.

Stamp sets are "Occasional Greetings", "Boho Background" (very versatile & great value), the swirl is from "Priceless" a favourite of mine, I also used "So Swirly" wheel. I paper pierced the scallop, I finally have my most wanted punch!
Close to Cocoa, Purely Pomegranite & Pretty in Pink, I've embossed in white, added a jumbo eyelet (loving the cropadile), the front card also has some dry embossing on the bottom also done with the cropadile, click on the picture to enlarge, as its hard to see here. Taffeta White & stitched Purley Pomegranite ribbons are attached, the little 1/2 pearl is from the Pretties Kit. I used my cutter kit blade to cut the Berry Bliss Patterned Paper a little swirly. The cards for me have me thinking a facinator, 1950's.
