Christmas Countdown Project Kit

Advent Calendar  -  Make and Take

And so we gathered for another crafty day at Gwandalan Guest House!

Well it's what my girlfriends and I call my house when we get together - The Gwandalan Guesthouse!

Today we put together this great advent calendar ... so easy .... all the instructions came with the kit and I only supplied the stamp set 'Christmas Countdown', some ink, adhesive and those little pesty things commonly known as dimensionals!  Oh and some 'bling'!

We had fun following the directions and guidelines, pictures in the kit and then adding our own take on the stamps and embellishments!

Here are some of our finished projects!

100th Birthday

Australian Flowers

Through my local suburb's Facebook page, a friend tagged me into a post which was asking for some help putting together a 100th  birthday card for their friend.

Margaret came over and showed me what she had painted for her friend turning 100!  she had used water colours and it looked fantastic!

I didn't want to spoil any of the flowers she had painted.

I was more than happy to help turn her work into a card!

After a little consideration, as I wanted to keep her paintings as close as possible to her original drawings.

I used some vanilla cardstock as the card base, which I ran through the Subtle Embossing folder and gold cardstock to map the two stand alone flowers.  Trying not to make the card too large, I fussy cut around the other flowers and gumnuts and added them to the third 'side' of the card.

I used the words and numbers from Family Party Stamp Set, which were stamped on vanilla cardstock and mapped in gold cardstock.  

Margaret was happy with her birthday card for her friend turning 100!

Cheers!

Trudy.

Blokey Cards

Geared up Garage  -  Retired Guy!

Afternoon all.

Following on from my blog earlier this week, I've managed another male card for you to enjoy!

Again using the DSP from the Classic Garage range (yeah I know it's retired) and this time Tranquil Tide cardstock and the cogs from Garage Gears in 3 different cardstocks - Crushed Curry,  Basic Gray and Tranquil Tide with a little ribbon and black bling!  The sentiment 'All Geared Up to Celebrate' is from the Geared Up Garage stamp set.

You know what .... I'm just going to call this one Retired Guy and be done with it.  I'm not even going to give you the product list!

I hope you enjoy my cards!  

Cheers!

We need more male cards!

A friend who has been travelling the eastern coast of NSW over the past few months has taken my cards on the road with him!  I had a huge basket of cards that I had made and wanted to try and sell them  .... who would of thought  .... he has been selling them to people he meets on his travels.  Born salesman!.

So a cry went out this weekend ...we need more male cards!  Why don't we have more male cards?  They are usually the hardest card for me to put together ... but here is my first attempt!

The designer series paper I used - Classic Garage has now retired  ... (wish I could retire!) ... but all the other products you can still purchase! 

This card I mapped the DSP in red cardstock to make it pop a little.  This is a fairly basic design, so any DSP you have would work ... just match your cardstock to the colours in the DSP and add some bling!  But in this case 'blokey' bling!

Product List:

Basic Gray A4 Card Stock [121689] $15.25	Real Red A4 Card Stock [106578] $15.25	Classic Garage 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper [148482] $19.25
Real Red 3/8" (1 Cm) Cotton Ribbon [146925] $12.25	Blow Out The Candles Photopolymer Stamp Set [146420] $26.00	Stitched Nested Labels Dies [149638] $61.00

Stay tuned!  More 'blokey' cards coming!

Don't forget that all important November Host Code:   6KCXBN4K  -  I know when you have ordered through my page ... which I would really love you to do!

Cheers to late in the week!

Wrapped in Plaid Christmas Tags

More Tags!

Love making these tags because they are really quick and easy ... like all the others I have shown you here on my blog.

I used the Wrapped in Plaid DSP on a Very Vanilla cardstock.  The Pine Tree punch was handy to punch out the Christmas trees from the Wrapped in Plaid DSP and gold foil paper.   The Season's Greetings sentiment came from the Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Set and I used the smallest of the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies to cut out the sentiment.  I made the gold stars using the Stitched Stars Dies and a little bit of gold thread under the pine trees, threaded some gold ribbon through the hole at the top and ... there you have it!

These can be made from your left overs ... so very inexpensive and they are quick to put together.

So gather your supplies and start creating!
