ALL THINGS CARDS

New Cards

2011-10-20T00:01:00.000-07:00

Hi Peeps

Well, I have finally got around to making two new cards and getting them posted for you all to see.
The first is a class kit that I have done, courtesy of Chandon Craft Victoria and am so pleased with it. Credit goes to the wonderful designer Cassandra Bright, who has come up with this and made it so very simple to follow. As you can see it is an easel card that folds down really well for posting, you just remove the candles and close it down. I am looking forward to making more using the basics of this card. Thanks Cassandra.
The second is a card for a friends who is turning 63 Sunday and thought this digi image from Tickled Pink Stamps suited her to a tee. Have used copics for colouring (which I am still doing my best to master) flowers from my stash together with papers, again from my stash. I do hope that you like them and any comments or tips are always welcomed.

My new craft cabin

2011-07-23T06:51:00.000-07:00

Hi there
Well, it has been a few months since I last was on here, but do have a very good reason and one I am sure will make you all very jealous.
I have just finished building, together with my BIL Tony, a new craft shed for the girls to come and visit and craft along with me, plus have time to myself to sit and craft in the beautiful surroundings of the natural bush around me with all the wildlife one can imagine, so hopefully creative juices will start flowing and masterpieces to be created LOL.
I have posted one photo to show you but will post more over the next day or two of the inside.
Hope this finds you all well and a little jealous.

My new craft cabin

2011-03-29T05:44:00.000-07:00

Hi Peeps
I know a little over my two week rule. I did this for a friend who needed cheering up, so I thought what bright colours I could do Tilda in, so chose these and feel that she would brighten up anyone's day.
I do hope that you like her and as always any comments or tips are welcomed.
See you again soon with another card. Will be trying my hand at some Hanglars, thanks to Rosie who has sent me some to colour.
Take care

Hi everyone

Just wanted to let you know that I have not vacated the planet, am still here.
Have had such a busy festive season, with the industry I work in there is no rest for the wicked and have been busy with markets and have had family visiting from all points of the globe, so have made myself a promise (not a new year resolution) to at least post a card and enter challenges regularly on a fortnightly basis.
Been keeping up to date with what everyone has been doing and am just loving it all.
So Happy New Year everyone and hope that we will have a wonderful year ahead with challenges and great card making.

Icy Christmas/Snowflake Challenges

2010-11-16T22:36:00.000-08:00

Hi, hope this finds you all well and not getting to panicky about getting your christmas cards done and posted.
I am entering this card into Totally Tilda's Icy Christmas and Die Cut Dreams Christmas club challenge of Snowflakes.
I have used a circle easel card together with wooden snowflakes that I dabbed white brillance ink onto and then sprinkled with Glamour Dust for that icy effect, a lace doily that has had silver rubbed over it and gently misted with vanilla smooch to give a light sparkle to it, run silver mirror board through a snowflake embossed folder and added a snowflake charm, silver peel offs for border and sentiment. Tilda was coloured with Copic markers in various shades of blue.
Do hope that you like her and any comments or tips are always welcomed.

2010-11-07T22:06:00.000-08:00

Hi Peeps
Just letting you know that I am off on holidays this week, so there will be no posts up. Am having a few days away in the north of the state to have a bit of RnR.
Just a reminder that Bizzy Bec's has opened her new store blog and can be seen at this site, she has a wonderful shop and well worth a wander through her online store. Bec also has some wonderful candy that ends on Nov 10, so go and enter yourself for this chance to win.
Will be back next week, so until then, take care and happy crafting

All Things Pink

2010-08-28T23:49:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone
Well, have I had some fun. Attended the Melbourne Paperific show Friday just gone and what a time we had. Took a good friend and flew over for the day.
It was a case of which way do you head first, there were so many wonderful shops to visit and so little time to do it all in, so started at stall number 1 and worked our way around.
Stopped and visited the girls at Mad for Markers and watched a few copic demo's with them and leart a thing or two.
Bought lots of goodies, Magnolia stamps, Copics of course, Martha Stewart punches, papers, inks, chipboard in all shapes and sizes and designs, vintage and so on and on and on !!!!. Broke definitely, but what a way to be.
Now for the card for two challenges, one with Mad for Markers (Pink theme) and 7KidsCollege challenge using a Magnolia image and two papers, so do hope you like it.
Did anyone else manage to get to Melbourne to the show, do let me know what you thought.
Take care and see you again here soon

Framed Magnolia Wedding

2010-08-16T21:18:00.000-07:00

Hello peeps

Well, it has been a while, so do forgive me. Work can be so intrusive on your crafting time LOL.
I was asked to do a framed picture for a couple who have been married for 60yrs and were renewing their vows, so a friend wanted a little memento for them, so I put together this and do hope that you like it.

Magnolia Wedding Tilda n Edwin / Magnolia Rose Arbor / Flowers and leaves from Bizzy Bec's, Ribbon n Charm from Image Plus Tasmania / Copic markers / Kindy Glitz Crystalline Glitter on the roses and her bouquet of flowers.
Any comments or tips always welcomed.
Hope to be here a bit more often as hours at work have been reduced, so more crafting time ahead.

Take care
Cheers Kym x

Today I thought I would have a go at my first challenge and chose Just Magnolia's "Fold It".
I have used a selection of flowers from my stash together with papers and pearls and rub ons, and of course the Tilda image with the two fold as stated.

Hi everyone and Happy New Year !!

Sorry that I have not been on here for sometime. This is due to work committments over christmas and then not such a good start to the new year. I have had to have surgery on my back, so have been limited to a lot of rest and not allowed to do a thing (I'm climbing the walls) and I can see so much crafting that could have been done. Anyway, on the mend now and am able to do a few little things, so sitting at my desk colouring with my Copic markers has been fun.
I have posted a few cards that I have done and with assistance from Bec of BizzyBec's (do have a look at her blog) am quite pleased with them. Any comments or tips are always welcomed.
Have enjoyed looking at your blogs while I have been off, and such inspiration can be gained just scrolling through from one to another.
Hope this all finds you well.
Happy crafting

Kym xx

A Special Thank You

Morning Everyone

I would like to send a very Special thank you to Bec of Bizzy Bec's for the wonderful stamped images that she has sent me and the assistance that she has given in teaching me how to colour and use my copic pens.

You are a real gem and have a very sweet and helpful nature about you and that I thank you for.

Please do pop over to Bizzy Bec's blog and have a look at the wonderful work she creates.

Thanks once again Bec !

Copic Markers

2009-11-21T19:31:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone

Well I just wanted to show you what I had done on Saturday night with my new copic markers. What fun are they to use.

I have done a few cards with these and painted some very pretty little girls and added to the cards with embellishment and the like.

Do hope you like them and as always any tips or comments welcomed to help me on my way.

Enjoy the remainder of your weekend.

Cheers

Hi everyone

Well, my apologies for not being on my blog for sometime, but have been so very busy with work and my usual weekly get togethers for crafting with friends. I have now merged with another two very sweet ladies who also have their own business with papercrafting/scrapbooking, to make an a regular once a week get together for the locals in both of our areas and it has turned out to be quite a success for which we are both pleased about.
I too am quite chuffed with myself as I have found out today that back in October (shows you how long it has been since I looked), that I won the naming of one of Bizzy Bec's new stamps and have been lucky enough to win that stamp and am looking forward to making some new cards with her, which I will most definitely post here.
OK, thought I had better just check in and let you know I was still around.
All do take care and hope that the Christmas card making is well under way.
Cheers
Kym

Hi Everyone

Just thought I'd pop in and say a big thank you to my three new followers and do hope to see more of you here.
I am slowly learning my way around and hope to be able to place candy links and photos down my sidebar, when I work out how this is done.
It is currently 11.15pm Tuesday night here and it is pouring with rain outside, just love the sound of it on a tin roof.
Tomorrow is my craft day with friends, so hope to get started on christmas cards as it will be on me before I know it, so will post some of the cards I hope to create at class tomorrow.
Do take care, and pop in and say hi.
Cheers

First card on my new blog

2009-09-27T00:05:00.001-07:00

Hi, well have got my blog up and running and do hope that you like the design. My first go so dont feel that I have done too bad with choosing designs and colours.
I am going to post a card that I have done using Elizabeth Craft Designs peel offs and any comments or tips are welcomed. (Credit - Glenda at Creative Cottage).
I am sitting by my window at home, looking out on a very very wet rainy day down in Southern Tasmania. The creeks on our property are over flowing and we now have a seasonal river rather than a seasonal creek.
It is very soothing listening to the rain and being able to sit and craft with such a lovely view.
Hope to make new friends on this site and look forward to seeing your galleries and blogs and what you have been up to.
Ciao for now
Kym
