Boys and Girls kits..


Wow what an offer, i had to share this one.
If you make an order of $60 or more this month you get to choose either of these packs for HALF price.. thats just $15!

Each pack contains all the papers, card and vellum aswell as cutouts to make 3 double layouts, or 6 single pages.  They even have matching stamps in the range but they are not included in the kits.

I used the girl pack at a recent Training day where we made a cute fold out album, they are very very cute.  There is a lovely cupcake SB paper in the pack that i plan on using for a card background, im yet to decide on the layout though.

if your interested in ordering some products and taking advantage of this deal let me know.  i can send you a catolouge for $3 and postage too.. its worth a look.

email me on pbusch29@hotmail.com for more info

have a great day

Bear card projects continued



next shot of the project.. i took the photo of the bookmark with the card so you can see how they coordinate

latest card


i got my second kaszazz order yesterday,have to say it was a little more exciting that the first.
I got many many more stamps in the second order.   I even got excited as my freebie gift wasnt available so i got a set of aquacolour crayons instead for nothing.. yippee!

anyway this is my first card from the new stamps.  its adapted from the Daisy Bear Cards workshop, i played with it a little with colours and the daisy's on the edges to make it more my kind of card!

Im still in the process of finishing the rest of the workshop, the cardstock is cut and ready i just have to colour and put them together.  I had a little mishap with some glossy accents.. someone should of told me LESS is more.. in some situations.

This stamp is Becky Bear isnt she just beautiful..

ill post the rest of the projects as i get them done.

hope you like her!

Butterflies that pop

So i finally put together this card today, i've had the background mat cut, the cardstock picked and the little orange and spot border cut out.. Ive just been trying to figure out what to put on the card itself.  Well i got this beautiful butterfly through the week and I originally stamped it with pinks and purples with no intention of using on this card.
I then thought OH.. and did it in orange, red, and coloured in a few accents and wallah.. I like it.  I really need some baby rivets or eyelets? for the little word plates, i dont like using brads on them.  

I was going to make this a boy card, considering the background..but the butterfly sort of throws that idea out of the water!

I hope you like this one, i think im getting a bit better at this.  The nestabilities certainly make a big difference to the final layout of the cards~

Cards

I have finally made a few cards, one im thrilled with and two are just OK and part of the learning curve. We have two 5 yr old birthdays coming up for friends so two of these are in the post tomororw.

The first card is for a little boy, I had some fun with a new stamp from Kaszazz its nice to have a boy stamp..i think its my first!
The colouring on the card is the best bit. Prismacolour pencils with odourless mineral spirits for blending, I have so much fun with this. You really can make a mistake with it.

Next we have another Kaszaaz stamp,  who is also coloured in Prisma and mineral spirits, dont you love how it makes the card a little more interesting.  I used the cuttlebug as the mount behind her, im still learning about that..I dont like how i cant matt evenly!  Ill get there.

And lastly, I love this card.  I got some nestabilities and suddenly my matting issues seem to be a poor distant memory.  These dies are fabulous, i dont even know if im using them correctly but i love them.    The nest in this card is from the labels set I bought them from Bec from BizzyBecs who is so lovely she even sent me an email to make sure i was using them properly..i havent printed it out yet though.

Bunnycup Embroidery

Embroidery
I am so lucky, I test embroidery designs for a very talented digitizer Ashlea who owns www.bunnycup.com and I love her designs.

I just tested this little beauty, from an upcoming set. I need to start sewing these out on actual projects instead of just testing and forgetting. This photo really doesnt do Ashlea's designs justice. I will endeavour to create some projects that really show off her work. Go and have a look at the site www.bunnycup.com its a great site.

Kaszazz

Kaszazz
I recently stumbled across Kaszazz and what a wonderful accident it was. Not only do i love the papers, the stamps and the ideas that Kaszazz has to offer, I have the opportunity to create things that I love with others with an interest in craft, stamping, papercraft and those who like to try something new.

I joined up with Kaszazz on their Quick Start plan which was $60, I was lucky enough to join right before a training day that i will attend this Sunday, showcasing new products. I haven’t actually made anything that is “officially” Kaszazz yet as im waiting to order my first batch of products. but I have tried out some project ideas, that are available to me as a Kaszzz demonstrator. I have to say im impressed, not only with the product line but also with the projects and ideas on hand. I have enough ideas to last me years, its just hard knowing which one to do first.

I originally joined Kaszazz so I could get the discount on my own purchases, but im slowly coming round to the idea that I can teach others and share my passion for craft.

My wish list is already so big, i need to prioritize.

Ill update after the Training Day on Sunday, this thursday I learn how to make my first order…
