Well i had wall decor on my door for a while and when i took it offff...
it ripped some paint off my door, so i made this to cover it :D

Silhouette SD finally arrived/Attempting to be vintage

I finally received my silhouette this week after waiting 1 MONTH! for it!

i was a little disappointed that there wasnt more protection like bubble wrap between the boxes considering it was an international shipment, but owell, i took it out and it was fine. :D

This is everything that came in the box..

so i couldn't wait to get started but i had to go down to bunnings and get a power converter as i got it internationally .... i finally got home and decided i wanted to do a little test so i typed in happy birthday to you...

without realizing i typed happy birthyday to you :(
must have been too excited, anyway, i figured there is no point wasting good die cuts so i made this card.... :D

its my first attempt at a vintage style card, i dont think i did too bad considering!

the flower is a little big, but i was just using what i had, the lacing thing is from the silhouette store, pretty cool! ... 

i made this card with distress inks, glimmer mist, cardstock, green/white pearls, sticker/embellishments, pearls, flower etc :P

p.s i bought helmar fabric glue today, its pretty awesome!..... good for bondin most stuff.... i used it tonight for a heavy cardstock and it worked amazingly :D

Party Favours

So for my birthday i decided to make my guests some party bags!....
a little kiddy for my 21st but it was for fun, and everyone ate the lollies straight away so ....successs!!! :D

here they are....

it was pretty simple, i just printed out the text on shimmer paper and stuck it to cardstock, i then added a butterfly sticker :P

Martha Stewart Score Board!!!

Happy Birthday to me!
So it was my birthday on wednesday and Lucky me got spoilt, i wont bore you with the details of everything i got, but today i got my score board! My sweet bf ordered one for me off ebay hahaha!
So here it is, i love it already, its going to make life so much easier :P

I have wanted to make one of those fan flowers for a while and what better reason to make one now that i have a score board. I've seen a few tutorials here and there but for this i just did what i could remember. (its pretty simple).

Here's what i did:

In normal circumstances i would measure the piece of paper but this is just a mock up so i just grabbed a random scrap piece. I scored the paper at every second line and then fan folded it.

You need to then grab each end and glue then together, so they fit nicely together. One end must have a valley and one must have a mountain, i dont have a whole lot of images for this part as i was trying to work it out as i went and i failed to do this part lol.

As i was trying to fold the flower down ^^^ i realized my piece of paper was too wide so i cut it in half first ( yay two out of one ). You kind of have to push it down and hold it, then i got a circle piece of paper hot glued it and then stuck the fan to it so it stays together.

End Result:

I added little pearls for more interest, i think ill be more creative next time.

I decided to make a birthday card with it, here is what i came up with!

Baby Boy#2

My Boyfriend suggested i make a card with more blue in it so i used the same idea but with more blue (again i need a white pen)

Baby Shower Card

Hey Guys!, this is my first post so i thought the best thing to post with would be something i made today, my cousin is due to give birth soon to her first child and i went to her baby shower today!...
I made her this card.

To make the card i cut out cream card-stock and scored to make the fole, ( 23cm x 15; score at 11.5 ), i stamped the kaiser craft elephant on the cream card-stock and also on the pitter patter making memories paper using black versa mark ink. I cut out the elephant on the pitter patter paper and used foam dots to raise the elephant. I then added the layered ribbons underneath the elephant and and stamped congratulations on the top right hand side. i used a white pen to draw the water splashes above his trunk ( i need a blue pen ) i then decided to cut out his ear with cream card stock, and bobs your uncle a baby shower card. Its pretty simple and easy to make!
