Mojo has been found

I have been missing my Mojo for paper crafting, I think a lot of it is that I still need to sort my craft room.

I was on the brink of not continuing with Stampin' Up.

At 11th hour I decided that it was okay to be a hubby demo and enjoy the benefits of a discount on my product.

I have struggled with myself mostly about not getting my business up and running since moving here to Christchurch nearly 2 years ago.

Just after I had placed my order to stay current as a demo and my BBB (big brown box) had arrived, I was asked by 2 demonstrators if I would do the WOW for our Team Meeting last night.

So I agreed and had to first find my craftroom, then my mojo.

I decided to show case the Gift Bag Punch Board, which I really hummed and hared about buying which I'm so glad I did, it is so versatile you can bags as it suggests to boxes etc.

Here's a large box that I made to our our standard size cards (14.8cm x 10.5cm).

I have used Mint Macaron, Pacific Point Card Stock and Pretty Petals DSP Stack.

The flower is made using the Decorative Label Punch.

Bibi Cameron has a video on them here.

I made 6 cards to go into the gift box.

I cased them from Dawn Griffith.

I have used the Hello You Thinlits.

I made 2 birthday cards.

2 Hello Cards.

2 thanks cards.

Recipes for the cards

Stamp Set: Crazy About You and Gorgeous Grunge.

Cardstock: Mint Macaron, Watermelon Wonder, Pacific Point, Very Vanilla,

Gold Glimmer Paper and Pretty Petals DSP Stack.

Ink: Mint Macaron and Pacific Point.

Extras: Big Shot, Magnetic Plate, Hello You Thinlits, Itty Bitty Punch Pack, Gold Sequins, basic Pearls, Handheld Stapler. and Staples.

I will be back tomorrow with some more of the boxes and bags I made.

Happy Birthday Samuel

Pin It

Today is our youngest birthday, Samuel hits double figures 6pm tonight.

Interesting fact for you, all our babies were born very close to 6am or 6pm.

Samuel is having a Minecraft party this coming Saturday.

Here is his birthday card.

It is a Creeper card.

To get all the squares I cut 1/2" stripes of Mossy Meadow, Pistachio Pudding, Soft Suede, Pear Pizzazz and Wild Wasabi Card Stock, I glued them with Glue Stick to copy paper to striped card, then I cut them into 1/2" strips going across the stripes. Then I used the Bargello Technique to make the background.

I used the Crazy about You Stamp set to stamp birthday and the Hello You Thinlits happy, that you can buy in a bundle together and save 15%

I used the Big Day SAB Stamp Set in the inner, I stamped it with Memento Ink and used Blendies to colour the birthday.

Thanks Circle Card

Pin It

I used the Circle Card Thinlits to cut and score the card.

I have used the colour combo from Pals Paper Art colour challenge.

PPA 239

I sponged the roses using the Artisan Embellishment Kit and Crumb Cake Ink.

The piece of doily is from the kit also, I used Simply Pressed Clay to make the rose and coloured it with a Real Red Stampin' Write Marker.

I added some Epic Day Designer Washi Tape and some Real Taffeta Ribbon.

For the inside I used a piece of Irresistibly Yours SDSP from SAB and sponged it with Crumb Cake and Real Red Ink.

The sentiment is from Blooming with Kindness Stamp Set.
