Oh Happy Day - Casing Krista Frattin #GDP072 #CI02

As I made this card yesterday I was thinking about how awesome our summer holidays have been. We had some great weather and enjoyed each moment we had together - whether it was on our road trip to NSW & ACT, hanging out on our kayaks, movies in the park or just kicking back at home. We had a great summer break. And now its time to get back into the routine of everyday. So this card represents a bit of reflection of the past few weeks - oh happy day... yes they were.

I stamped the background with stamps from 'Day at the Beach' it creates such a interesting back drop. I then stuck some Pool Party ribbon down to a strip of Garden Green cardstock, pleating it as I stuck it down. It's subtle in colour and I love the ruffled look.  The Wisteria Wonder die cut is from the "Flourishing Thinlet Dies" Set

I was inspired by the designers CASE over at the Global Design Project with challenge #GDP072 and by the Colour INKspiration team on Facebook with this awesome colour challenge!

Teeny Tiny Notebooks

These cute covered notepads make a perfect gift for a friend, teacher or class attendee! I got the idea from my friend Kate Benade. She gifted one to each of the Crazy Crafters who attended the Melbourne Convention in 2014. I made a whole bunch of these as a thank you gift for my new class attendees - they loved them! Perfect for making little notes during class.

 Super cute!!

Try making this notebook! Here's how... 

•  Measure book front and add a small margin to width (2-5mm) plus at least 5 cm to length
• Line up cardstock to bottom edge of notebook and score lines where the folds will need to be (so cardstock can wrap around to the back)
• Adhere cardstock with glue on the back flap only
• Decorate the front however you want

Birthday Criss Cross Cards

I love giving birthday cards. I love making birthday cards! I especially love the look on a recipients face when they see something unique and handmade by me - it's a special heartwarming feeling.
Here I have created 2 very cool interactive cards known as "Criss Cross" - but not the rapper kind!
I've used the 'Party Wishes Bundle' pg 4 & 5 Occasions Catalogue and the 'Cherry on Top DSP Stack' to create these bright fun cards.

Here is a male version using the same products

Here is the video that I came across that gave me the idea to creat these cards. Of course I changed the dimensions to meet Australian A4 cardstock sizes!

 

Make this card with A4 Cardstock - there is a join however you can make 2 from just one sheet!
