Another notebook....

Hi everyone,

A quick share with you today, my youngest daughter and I decorated this journal and made a matching card last week for one of her school friends.

I love making these little sets and with so many different names and unusual spelling around, this is a cute, quick and personalised gift.

The happy birthday sentiment is from the Sassy Salutations stamp set. The stars are retired punches but luckily there are star framelits available which would work well.

Thanks for looking,

NEW!!! ABC Frames!!!

Hi Everyone,

Lookie what I made yesterday!! Clean and simple Alphabet frames!!

The finished size is approximately 26cm wide by 31cm high.

So far I've only made these 2 but I can do custom orders in any colours you like, and should be able to source black frames as well. Email me if you would like to find out more.


Well, this weekend I'll be at the Campbell Primary Moonlight Markets in Canning Vale from 4-7pm and the Glades Moonlight Markets on Saturday from 4-9pm. It'd be great if you live local to meet you, so make sure you say hi!

It's been birthdays galore here!

Hi Everyone,

We've had birthdays galore here lately! So many of the girls friends have had parties including 2 today! And we also celebrated our eldest turning the big #5 this week too!

So first up is our Miss 5's card:

Here's some of the notebooks and cards I've been making:

 

 

Hope all the little princesses like their cards and books... If you like these notebooks or cards, I am taking orders, so please email me with your request.

New techniques!!

Hi Everyone,

Yesterday I was playing working in my craft room and I thought I'd try out some of the workshop wows I saw at Regionals.

So first off I tried some new punch art flowers.... And then I used it to decorate this photo frame:

Then I tried another flower and the 'bargello' technique for the quilted pattern in the background.

The sentiment is from the new hostess only set "Happiest  Birthday Wishes"

If you are coming to my class on Friday, you just may see one or both of these techniques! Please email stampingwithrichelle@iinet.net.au for more information :)

Somewhere safe to keep your treasures....

Hi Everyone,

It's every girl's dream to have somewhere safe to keep her treasures... Actually it's probably most grown-up girls dreams too and to have lots of diamonds to keep in the said treasure box..... 

I made these 'one of a kind' treasure boxes up with some retired designer series paper, and my Big Shot with the Timeless Type Alphabet, Beautiful Wings and Floral Fusion dies (the leaves have been punched with the bird punch).

The cool thing about these treasure boxes is that they open from the top and have 3 little sections plus a drawer underneath and are a really great size to keep either jewellery or stationery treasures tucked away.

Another week, another b'day!

Hi Everyone,

Just a super quick post today....

Miss 4 had another friend who celebrated her b'day this week..... This is the card and note book we gave to her with some stickers, hair clips and pencils.

Excuse the funny colours, I had to take the pics inside as it was cold and wet here yesterday when I needed to photograph it! And no the image isn't a Stampin' Up! one unfortunately, I just had to use her cos I reckon she's pretty darn cute!

Miss 4's friend

Hi Everyone,

It would seem that several of the girls from my Miss 4's class are going to have their b'days late in the year.... In an effort to get each of them something different, I thought I'd make them a little something each.

Here's a personalised notebook for one...

Then we just added some shop bought pencils and a pen/roller stamper kit

If you are interested in a personalised notebook or gift for someone special, please contact me.

Where did that week go?

Hi Everyone,


Somewhere in the last 3 weeks, I lost a week... Who knows where it went? I only know that all this week the dates I've been thinking in my head are not what the calendar says!


Anyhoo, it's gone and I guess its pretty safe to assume it's not coming back... ever..... what a bummer!


Last weekend I had a few of these chocolate sliders on my market stall and remembered to take a picture of 4 of them.. One has non-Stampin' Up! paper on it but don't tell anyone mmmk ;)
But all the cardstock is from Stampin' Up!

The latest retiring list can also be found here, and some items have sold out! If you would like to order anything, please place your order as soon as possible as these items are only available whilst stocks last or until 31st August.




Well, I'm off to tidy the craft room before what I hope will be a big weekend of crafting!

Lollipop, lollipop. l-l-l-lollipop!

Hi Everyone,


I made this a few weeks ago and realised that I hadn't blogged (bragged) about it!

I spoiled myself with some birthday money last month and bought the Timeless Type Junior Alphabet Sizzlit die! (Plus the birthday discount from Stampin' Up! just for being a demo was a great incentive to splurge!)


The jar I picked up at market last year or maybe the year before. All the lollipops have been decorated with a little pic and layered onto some scrapbooking paper or cardstock. I'm hoping it will be a hit with the young crafties at Craft Thyme Fair this Saturday.

May's Class...

Hi Everyone,


My class back in May was all about the kids, and as such we made 4 different cards and co-ordinating boxes.

This is the first set:

This is the second (using the same layout and box design):

These cards were inspired by this link and the boxes are from my easter choccy basket as seen here.


This is the third set:

And this is the fourth set:

These boxes were made following this peek-a-boo box tutorial and you can see another version I made here.

If you would like to know more about any of these cards and boxes, please email me or leave a comment with your email address below.

I designed my own Easter Basket!

Hi Everyone,


Last week, whilst preparing for the Glades Markets in Byford, I designed my own Easter Basket! Now not to toot my own horn, but I'm pretty impressed with myself.


It came about after making a little bag that Gardenia Pepworth had on her blog, and as I sat there looking at it, the mouse in my head jumped on it's turbo wheel and voila! This is my basket!!

This is my prototype!

And these are a couple of extras I made:

 

These and more are all available for purchase from my album on facebook:

Please 'like' my facebook page if you haven't already :)


Oh and I'm going to write up a tutorial for you to make your own so stay tuned over the coming days!

Making notepads...

Hi Everyone,

I love multi-tasking! Lately it's been a bit quieter at night with Miss 4 working out that she can go to bed without calling out for up to 2hrs. This has meant I still can't go into my craft room at night however, I've been crafting in front the telly instead.

So I've been catching up on my shows (mainly NCIS, NCIS Los Angeles, Burn Notice, and The Good Wife) and relaxing.... I even manage to watch a bit of Macgyver with the hubby so that's earning some brownie points lol :)

And the other thing I'm loving is my owl punch! I've given it a good workout on these notepads!!

These will be on sale at the Craft Thyme Fair on Saturday 19th March, if not sold prior. Although if you really love one, I'm sure I can reproduce it for you...

Take care & enjoy your wkend! I'm off to finish packing for tonight's card making class.
