Scottish Wallet for Tickets to the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo

Todays project is a ticket wallet! I love my parents and they help us out so much, all the time, never expecting anything in return. So for Christmas I got them tickets to see the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. They were soooo thrilled, we missed out on seeing the event in Scotland when we were there more than 10 years ago now.  This wallet is simply decorated, as the real treat is on the inside! My parents thoroughly enjoyed themselves, I wish I had of gone now too!

 The measurements are just below, this project is super easy but such a great way to present 'print at home' tickets.

Try making this wallet! Here are the measurements for you:

• Australian A4 sheet of Pacific Point cardstock
• Score lines along the long edge at 2-3/4" & 7-1/4"  
• Punch a circle or oval on the inside flap.

Heres a couple pics of my folks and the event...

For you Dear Friend - Birthday Blooms

How cute are these quick and easy cards? I made them with just a few supplies including a new stamp set from the Occasions Catalogue - Birthday Blooms! This stamp set has been a super popular set. The flowers are perfect for colouring in your favourite technique. I kept the colouring low key on these examples -I just went around the flower outline with a marker  - Blushing Bride & Pink Pirouette for the first card and Pool Party & Soft Sky for the second. 
For the background, I stamped ever so lightly some dots in crumb cake. To finish them off I added a touch of BLING - Blushing Bride Sequin ribbon and NEW Pool Party 3/8" Glitter Ribbon! Voila.

Quick and easy! How devine is the font in this set?

Try making this card! Here are the measurements for you:

• Aussie C6 card base in Blushing Bride cardstock
• Mossy Meadow Frame 3-7/8" x 5-5/8"
• Whisper White Panel 2-1/2" x 3-3/4"
• DSP Panel 3-3/4" x 3-3/4"

Be inspired with this colour combination, feel free to share and pin it!

Simple and Stunning Silent NIght

If you need some christmas cards in a hurry, read on - these cards is a super simple and quick card to create! We recently made a stack of these cards with some friends and they turned out beautiful.
My colour choice is semi-traditional with the white and navy, I wanted a third colour. A bluey colour to just lift the card up.  So I chosen Lost Lagoon as my background colour - and I love it! It frames this night time scene beautifully you could change it up and add a white panel - this would look stunning too! Just a simple stamped greeting and a wooden snowflake embellishment to finish it off and you're done!

I really hope to see more Edgelit style dies in the future this have been so fun to create with and super easy to make a card look amazing. Just a simple stamped greeting and a wooden snowflake embellishment to finish it off and you're done!

  Here are the card measurements so you too can create this card:

• Standard Australian C6 card base in Sahara Sand Cardstock (half A4 sheet)
• Lost Lagoon Frame - 3-3/4" x 5-1/2"
• Night of Navy Panel -  3-1/2" x 5-1/4"
• Whisper White Panel - 3-1/2" x 2"

Timeless Love & Elegance

How gorgeous is the Designer Series Paper on this simple card? Stampin' Up! just keep designing beautifully coordinated paper and they haven't disappointed here with this pack of Timeless Elegance.  I highlighted some of the cute flowers by colouring them with my Cherry Cobbler marker.  You could colour just a few or the whole card. The black patterned paper is actually the reverse side of the flower pattern, all I did was cut 1-1/2" off the top and flipped it around. See below for more measurements. I CASE'd my card from Amy Koenders card - you can see it here.

Here are the measurements:

• Cardbase: A5 sheet of Thick Whisper White cardstock, scored in half
•  Cherry Cobbler Layer: 3-3/4" x 5-1/2"
• Timeless Elegance DSP: 3-5/8" x 5-3/8" (then cut 1-1/2" off the top and flip it round)
• Basic Black strip: 3-5/8" x 3/4"

 Such a classic colour combination - you can never go wrong it, no matter the occasion.

Tin of Cards Project Kit

Yay my BBB arrived and thankfully before our long weekend too!! So I have been busy crafting and exploring all the possibilities with lots of new products. Todays project has been made with a TRULY AWESOME project kit - Tin of Cards!
Here is what's included in the kit... lots and lots - enough materials to make 16 cards!

Here's the fabulous TIN- in Mint Macaron - yummy! I've decorated one of the dividers.  See the best thing about this kit is that even if you gave away all the cards you've made with it, the tin is still there as your very own card organiser. Great idea.

Here are the cards I made..

I will be running a class in July with this project kit - so watch this space!! If you can't wait until then order your now - click here.

You'll need just a couple of extra supplies here they are...
