Tutorial Creating a Daisy with Kasz Flower Punch

I am not sure where this original idea come from , It's not my original idea ....I have searched and searched the web but can't refind the place where I originally found it some time ago.

This is the flower that I will be giving a quick tutourial on how to create this simple but stunning Daisy.

First you punch out the shape of your Flower using Kasz Super Flower Punch (4859) in your desired colour. I used 3 Super punched flowers in the above sample, you could use more if you would like a fuller daisy. I also used 2 punched Jumbo Flowers (4848)

Using Non- Pernament Tape, attach a punched flower to a strip of paper, slightly larger than the flower, of course not the same colour as your flower. Do not use cardstock as it will be too thick to punch through.

Place this into your Flower punch as pictured below, try to centre over the punch petals (the white flower). If its not quiet the centre it won't matter as flower petals are not symetrical in real life so it will add character.

The picture below it shows one flower still attached to the backing paper and I have also included a picture of a double punched Jumbo Flower and a Super Flower.

Repeat this process for all the punched flower shapes.

I have lightly inked the tips of the petals to add more dimension & colour...

Using Glossy Accents , adhere each layer stagnating the position of the petals, starting with the larger size first, then the smaller ones..

Then I have attached a yellow Rhinestone..to represent the middle of a daisy , But you could use what ever you would like in the centre.

Viola you daisy is complete.

I hope you enjoy making this daisy..as much as I did sharing it

See you soon Jo

Introducing the new Ezy-Press with Video

Hi All,

Yesterday I share with you the release of the new Embellish Ezy-Press Die Cutting and Embossing machine

I thought I would share some intersting information about the machine.

This is every scrapbookers and cardmakers dream and a must have.

Here are some features of the Ezy-Press:

☺ It has A4 sized cutting pads, giving the flexibility to cut bigger shapes which is great for scrapbooking.

☺ It is a manual (hand operated machine) BUT it is super easy and very convenient to operate. The Ezy-Press has more advanced and robust gearing making turning the handle super easy!

☺ It is compatible with some well known dies on the market (Sizzix Sizzlits, Provo Craft Cuttlebug and Spellbinder dies).

☺ This machine is not currently sold anywhere else in Australia! It is the biggest and easiest roller die cutting machine on the market!

☺ It has some funky Bellish branding and packaging, which matches the other Bellish brand products now available!


Her is a quick introduction Video on how to use the Ezy-Press



Happy Creatin' Jo

They Say it happens in 3's

Hi All,

They say bad things happen in 3's so I'm just waiting for the 3rd to hit...

I'm not sure, wether to be angry or cry.... but my computer got very sick a couple of days ago we took it to the Drs. to get fixed and today I got the bad news that it died... and I have lost months and months of down loads , some were very important files, some photos, and I have lost all of my favourite site links.....None of the files on the hard drive are retreavable.. I'm not sure exactly how much I have lost yet till I check the back up hard drive..I suppose it could be worse I could have lost everything.

So at the moment I am on the laptop, which is pretty bare with programs, so I wont get many things posted over the next few days till I work out about getting another computer up and running.

But on a happier note, when I went to the Kaszazz site today one of my workshops I created has been put on the site...(I will share some pics soon maybe tomorrow). Its the project I created back in January for the Team Training Day and it was voted first place.

Also today I received the ATC's from the swap I participated in last mont(Luck of the Irish) I will share those pictures with you also when I have sorted out my computer issues.

The first bad situation was yesterday, I got news that my dad has to have more amputated from his foot.

Happy Scrappin' Jo

New Kaszazz Products Released

Hi All,

I'm feeling a bit guilty that I haven't posted here in a long time, but things are busy, busy at the moment...time just seems to go by so fast.

This is just a quick visit today (but I should have some projects to share real soon from a card swap and an ATC swap, and a couple of other projects I have been working on recently).

Now to the fabulous new products.....

Kaszazz have recieved an early shipment of some of the New Products due to be released in May, so to share our excitement they have made these products available to everyone early.

We have a new cutter that comes with a bonus freestyle handle. The cutter comes with a straight blade, but in addition to the straight blade you can purchase a range of interchangeable Blades which cut a variety of edges........ What a fabulous idea...... (see pic below).

As well as the new cutter there is new gorgeous colours of 12 x 12 textured card stock as well as A5 card stock packs .. I have the new colours already and they are just devine..

Just a note: The Scallop Border Punch has already been soo popular it has sold out at present but will be available to order again soon. These punches are great, no need to use the corner rounder to create scalloped edges any more.

More News of more new Pre- released products, still to come..... including stamps , Tim Holtz Inks, Smooch Inks, Smooch Spritz, Design Adhesives and Fluid Chalk Inkpads.

Wow.....There are lots and lots of new pre-released products due for May release.. I'm not sure whats left to surprise us with in May... But I do know there are new Papers being released then.

I Would like to wish you and your families, my customers, my regular blog followers, Kaszazz consultants, my friends as well as my family a fabulous, wonderful Christmas and a safe, happy & prosperous New Year 2010!.

Eat lots, hug the ones you love and remember the real meaning of this season.

Christmas Cards Completed

Hi All,

Have you noticed my new header and my background !!! ???? !!!!

I thought my blog was in desperate need of some changes as I was getting bored with the old layout ..I love the boppin Santa ...I think its cute..

Not only have I been decorating my blog into the christmas spirit, but Ive also been putting up Christmas lights and decorations around the house and garden ...So its " begining to feel a lot like Christmas"

I have been busy the last couple of days making my christmas cards (in between nursing sick DH)... I'm glad I don't make cards for everyone, I would have to start making now for next years christmas...lol...

I made over 20 of these little gems..... all different

I used my new Cuttlebug Lace Tree embossing folder (not sold by Kaszazz)....

The last couple of years I have decided to give every one simular theme cards but change the design on each one slightly so they look different, eg changing the card, ink or ribbon colour. changing the embellishments etc. So atleast this way it makes it easier to remember what card was given to whom the previous year, so I don't give the same card 2 years in a row..

I've used a variety of Kaszazz cardstock, variety of inks Distress Ink,Fluid Chalk Ink, some had embossing Powder, Ink Blending tool was used , coloured Rhinestones, Glossy Accents, I have used Icestickles on each card (its hard to see on some of the cards) Kaszazz Mini Messages Stamp Set, and I stamped "May your Christmas sparkle like the tinsel on your tree" on the inside of each card, which is very appropriate as their cards do sparkle with the glitter , rhinestones..even the ribbon has a gold and silver metallic edge trim.

Here is a close up of some of the end results (my favourites...)

I have to make a card for my parents each occassion as they get very disappointed if I buy one..They love receiving my cards. this one is there's ..I added some light decoration that are on a silver thread, I bought a year ago (I knew I would use it one day) from Big W gift wrapping christmas section..I wish I had bought more of this, I still have some left but you can never have too much craft stuff. altho DH might have something to say about that...lol.

This one isnt your traditional christmas colours, but love the way it turned out... I used Colorbox Metalic Gold Ink and pink rhinestones.

I have used Ice Blue Fluid Chalk ink on this one... I love the blue and the Icestickles on this one .

With or without ink they still look effective with the raised embossed pattern which you cant see on the others in the cards.

And lastly another one of my favourites....

I used Tim Holtz Peeled Paint Distress Ink on this one, it matches in well with the red rhinestones.

Did you notice that the paper pricking on most of the cards were different also. I do like the effect of the paper pricking but can be time consuming when making a lot of cards at once like I did here.

So which ones you'r favourite???

Happy Scrappin'

AQUACOLOR CRAYONS - Blog War Challenge - Project

Hi All,

I hope you had a great weekend.

Here is my project using the Lyra Aquacolor Crayons.

Not only are the crayons great for vivid colouring of stamped images but they can also be used to create backgrounds like I have in this card on the White Gloss Card.

I stamped butterfly image on the front of the vellum in Coal black, the crayons were used on the back of the stamped image, this way it doesnt matter if u slighty go over the line while colouring, and the colours are bright enough to still be seen from the front.

I used the lavender stamp to create the grass and flowers, using a piece of scrap paper as a mask, the edge of the vellum was edged in Coal black ink also, and adhered to base card using vellum tape...

Have a Scrap-a-licious day,

Jo

The technique and cards were submitted by one of our own very creative Kaszazz consultants - Michelle Smith.

When I first saw the cards , the first thought that sprang to mind was kids cards, fun, birthdays....

This techniques creates a very vivid, colourful and striking background with a unique textured effect and is very simple to acheive.

BLOG WAR CHALLENGE - Petunia Babe

Hi all,

Here is a cute little card which I actually created for last weeks Blog War Challenge and have only just had the time to post it now. Last week BW Challenge was to ccreate a card or LO featuring a pet or animals....

I have named her "Petunia Babe"..... as she is made with Petunia Bazzill and "Babe" named after her inspiration "Babe" from the movie.

So here she is ..

I'snt she gorgeous..(and I think she knows it...lol.....).

Making this card brought back some childhood memories of when I made a paper mache` pig in primary school, painted it pink and added some daisies very simular to these ones. I have also decorated the back of the card but havent added the picture yet.

Happy Scrappin'

Cheers Jo
