Global Design Project #GDP006

Switched the design to the top. Used the lovely Softly Falling EF and the words from the Wonderland stamp set. Punch some Real red c/s with the Petite Petals Punch. scrunched them up and stuck them together with a pearl in the middle. Base card is crumbcake.

Thank you for stopping by.

INKspired Sketch Blog Hop 22 -

Hello and welcome everyone to another INKspired Blog Hop, the fortnight sure goes fast. Just some quick pics of our friendly Wally the wombat who has got confused with what time he is supposed to be out chomping on the grass and then fertilizing it! The back view is not his most flattering but he is posed to run down the hill! I was less than a metre away!

You may have hopped across from Marlene who I am sure has made a wonderful card to share

Here is our sketch this fortnight - so pretty, Teneale.

Now here is my card. I kept it simple using some Bohemian DSP (love it!) with Bermuda Bay as the main card with a Very Vanilla front (as it is one of the colours in the DSP). Stampin' Up! now have a list of the colours on the back so that you can be co-ordinated - too easy)

Used a saying from the Sheltering Tree stamp set which means so much when you have good friends. 
Punched some stars from the Silver Glimmer with the Confetti Stars punch as I wanted them small. 
Punched a flower with the Petite Petals punch which I cut the leaves nearly down to the centre, scrunched it and added a small star to the middle. 

I kept it simple and loved how it turned out.
What do you think? Let me know.


Now it is onto the lovely Narelle Macey,

can't wait to see what she has made..

Thank you for stopping by

2015 Convention Swaps - Treat boxes made with Scalloped Tag Topper Punch

Can you guess the Colours used?

Hi Everyone
I thought I would show you one of my swaps for Stampin' Up Convention this year. It is being held on the Gold Coast and I will show pictures from there soon.
Last year I missed a combined day that Teneale & Marelle held. I loved the little treat boxes that Marelle had for the day. You can see the picture of them on Marelle's blog.

I thought they would make a great swap for Convention ( thanks Marelle for the idea). A lot of demonstrators bring a cardfront or whatever they have made to swap. It is a great time to meet new people and to catch up with old friends.

I cut a variety of cardstock  and used the Colour family DSP that matched.
Here is what I did:

1. Cut a strip of cardstock  measuring 5cm wide by 17.8cm long

2. Cut a strip of matching DSP measuring 3.2cm by 15.6cm long

3. Put the end of the cardstock into the Scalloped Tag Topper punch and punch both ends, making sure I feed the cardstock in evenly.(I turn the punch over to ensure that it is flush and even on both sides see below)

Turn over feed in,even then punch

Harder to see that you have it even when punching this way up

Note: To get the measurements to score at I placed the three tic tacs inside the c'stock  and pressed it around them, which made a mark on each side at the bottom of tic tacs, then pressed at the top on each side and pushed down on top which gave another mark. (see my very rough template made from copy paper)You could do this with any treat that is in a box - need to measure the treats and adapt measurements.

4. I then placed it on the SU cutter and scored the measurements that I had worked out.

Used a thin piece of cardstock to butt the punched end against to ensure I had the same measurements each time.

5. I placed the DSP around the sides of the cardstock(with treats inside) and slightly pressed at the corners.

Not finished yet - no tag or flowers! Still in production phase

6. I then used the 2-Way Glue Pen on both sides of cardstock and some down the edge of the DSP where it wraps over itself.

7. Place three of the Tic Tacs or other little treats inside cardstock and then wrap the DSP around.

8. Punch out some little flowers and some words to place on the front.

9. Some ribbon to tie the two sides together. Or you could use a small peg like Marelle has with a bow on top.

Now here is the finished swaps with my sister's dachshund  "Ginger" assisting, she is so cute but bosses all the cattle dogs around!

Will put a list up of product required when I return from Convention!
