BABY AND KIDS MARKET

Hi Everyone
It has been a long time - I know.

Well I have been busy preparing for an upcoming local market and would love to see everyone there.

I have posted the details below. I will have a small stall displaying some of the great things you can make with the products from Stampin' Up! at the Lake Kawana Community Centre from 9am -12pm.

Also things are beginning to get exciting with the new 2010-2011 catalogue soon to be released on 1st September.

I have also updated my class list for the rest of the year. See the side bar for details.

LOVE BOT PUNCH ART

Hi it has been a long long time between posts. I am getting ready to return to work part time - the past year has flown - I have loved spending the year with my , now, 11 month year old girl. Not looking forward to returning, but thank goodness I will always have stamping and punch art as my stress outlets.

In accordance with everything Valentine's Day, here is my contribution to the world of punch art and love!!! uggghhh hey.. Also to announce my new year of classes. Please see the right side of my blog to look at a class list and sneak peak of some of the classes. I have classes booked up till June at the moment. But with the new release of coming products, I am sure that there will be more classes. My valentine punch art for my class (hint...another cute animal) inspired me to make a "love bot".

I have been wanting to make a milk carton treat box for a while and thought the robot would look great on the carton. Just needs some treats or sweets inside now.

I used a variety of punches: 1 3/8" square; 1 1/4" square; heart to heart punch; own small heart punch; 1/2" circle punch; 1 3/8" circle; 1 1/4" circle; 1/4" circle; 1" circle; 3/4" circle; scallop edge punch.

Snowman Button Card

Well it has been a while... Today I am showing you another card that I have been working on - i was inspired by a stamp set that is obviously not Stampin' Up! (and as you know I can't say the name). I love buttons and have many many colour coded containers full of them. I wanted to incorporate buttons into one of the stamp sets and I used the punch pals stamp set and the snowman.

Thought he was very cute. I embossed him to allow a little bit of extra depth on the card.

Stamp: punch pals

Card: not quite navy; baja breeze; whisper white

Punches: corner rounder; scallop edge

Others: buttons; twine; white embossing powder

Elf Shoes CARD

Sorry that I haven't posted for a while - been busy making swaps for our upcoming Stampin' Up! regionals at the end of this month. Between doing this and looking after my 9 month year old - leaves not much time or energy for craft! But I have managed to make a few cards which I will show over the next week. There is punch art but also a couple of other cards which I have been wanting to make for a long time.

This card was cased from Marie Shaughnessy. I wanted to make this for a while but here in Australia we don't really celebrate Halloween, so instead I thought it would make a great elf shoe card. The directions for this card can be found on her blog - I obviously just changed the colours etc.

Let me know what you think.. Feel free to email me with any questions.
