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

I''ve Caught the Bug......

Hi all,

Remember when I mentioned in yesterdays post I had been busy the past week or so...

Well this is some of what I have been doing....

I've caught the Bug.....

No.... not the virus or bad type of bug.

Iv'e been playing with my Cuttlebug ..and been busy cutting out die shapes..I cut about 200 all up...I cut them to give to my Mum. I got her hooked into cardmaking and papercraft too, but she doesnt have a Cuttlebug..

Here is just a few shapes / characters I created.... (not all card stack used is from Kaszazz) some have multiples in different colours. Most of these characters are more than 3 shapes combined to form the finished product.


Here are some Wedding / love themed die cuts...I love the handcuffs I used some silver metalic cardstock on some of these..I did the horse shoe in some silver metalic also.

Here are some Christmas ones ..

I love the reindeers I actually inked around the edges to give them a 3d look.. I used some Kaszazz Bazzil Bling - "Glitz (4671) on the Bauble Tag and then also embossed it Snowflakes using the cuttlebug Machine. I also did the Bauble Die Cuts in a Green Metalic and Red metalic..they look gorgeous.

Below is my Spring Theme Set ...

I just love how the shimmer paper I used on the butterflies turned out..its a Pearlised shimmer paper..I'm not sure where I got it from, I collected it along my travels somewhere.



I just love my cute animals below.. Including Winnie the Pooh...he is a cut and emboss.. The horse and the Rabbit Peekers are very time consumming to make. The horse consits of 8 different pieces and then I highlighted bits with my White Gel pen.

The bunnies consist of 9 pieces and I inked the edge of ever piece before sticking them together, then added detail with my Black pen.

Last but not least is my Seaside collection with a couple of others ..

the dolphins and the boots were also done in the Glitz Bazzill Bling , the bee I used some Bright Lights Bazzill Bling (4668).I loved how they turned out.

I still have other Dies I haven't used..but I ran out of time..I will do some another time..

I love my Bug.........

Cheers Joanne

FLUID CHALK INKS - Blog War Challenge - Project 2

Hi all,

Welcome to today's " Blog War " creation.

Well...they say looks can be deceiving... This card definitely fits that description...

This card may look like it was quick and easy...but it wasn't, there was a lot of pre-planning and measuring making sure the punched border and hearts were even...but after all the measurements were worked out it all came together quiet well.

I have used Blue Iris Chalk Ink (71034) also used were, Pomegranite Card from our new Earth Tone Essentials card range (4927), Vine Stamp from Treasured Memories Set (4129KO), Smile Stamp (4130KC), Starmist Bazzill (4226), Flourish Border Punch (4866), Mini Heart Punch (4870), Corner Rounder Punch and I aded some Aqua Organdy Ribbon (70605). All products used are available from Kaszazz.

When I remake this card I will make a couple of changes, as the Smile sentiment doesn't show clearly (shows up even less in the photo) so I will stamp it in a different colour, and I thought about maybe adding some colour to the vine image.

What do you think ???

CHRISTMAS IN JULY - Blog War Challenge - Project 1

Hi All,

I hope you had a great week end.

This weeks Blog War Challenge is...... " Christmas in July" where we will be show casing the gorgeous range of Christmas Stamps and Christmas SB Papers available from Kaszazz.

Our range of Christmas Stamps can be found on Pages 133 - 139 in the current Kaszazz Catalogue as well as the New July Products flier, which can be viewed by clicking here.

Here is my project for today.

I have gold embossed " Merry Bauble (1744LK) image and used the red Aquacolor Crayon to colour the ribbon. The bauble image is hidden under the pointsettia flower.

The Piontettia flower was punched using the Super and Jumbo Daisy Punches, I gold embossed a piece of Berry Red card with large Swirl Tree (1952LI) before punching out the Daisy shapes, to create a pattern on the flower petals. I rubbed the back of the flower petals in a circular motion with a rounded end object while resting on a mouse pad and then turned them over to the front and rubbed in the centre of the Daisy to give the petals more dimension.

The leaves of the pointsettia were punched using the Super Daisy from Holly card, I added a yellow rhinestone to the centre of the flower, then attached the Pointsetta with Magic Mount to the base card.

The newly released Fancy Flourish (4222KK) Stamp was inked in Ancient Page Pine Ink (72016) around the edge of the card.

I love this new Flourish Stamp ..its just gorgeous.

Cheers

BOY CARDS - Blog War - Project 1

Hi All,

I hope you had a fabulous weekend.

The Blog War Challenge this week is ...... Boy Cards.

I created this card with a very special little boy in mind, who I know will love this little punch art tractor. I have bought him a Toy tractor (John Deere replica) as a gift to go with the card , so the green and yellow in the card was used to represent a John Deere Tractor (example shown below).

I have used the Scallop Circle - Super (4862), Super Circle (4857) & (4856), Scallop Circle mini Punch (4871) for the smoke.

The base card is actually Holly Green but it look black in the photo, I also used Raven Bazzill (4224), Sunbeam Bazzill (4227), Parakeet Bazzill (4222). THe wheels and the mud guard have been Magic Mounted to add dimension. The soil was sponged using Walnut Stain, and a Black Permaball Pen (660024) was used to add the detail to the tractor. I also used 2 Silver brads for the wheel nuts.

I'm going to stamp a number (age) from the Carnival Alphabet Stamp Set (4200KO) in the top right hand corner....

Thanks for dropping by
