DECORATIVE LABEL PUNCH WITH A DIFFERENCE

This is an easy way to make a lovely shaped window with the decorative label punch.  See the plan Vertically the centre is the decorative label simple punch out, then either side of that a half a label is punched to widen it, and then turn the punch landscape and take a sligher off the top and bottom and there it is. We made a card today at class using this technique and the girls wanted the template.  I got it off the net but honestly I cannot remember where, thanks to some clever lady I was able to share it.

SONS BIRTHDAY CARD

This was a challenge as my daughter in law is a fabulous card maker.  Card base is Night of Navy. A white top note die cut is in the centre for writing on and I stamped Happy Birthday on it.  The front top note is card covered with heavy tinfoil and die cut.  I then rubbed it with a dauber and stazon black to give it a more metal look. The word happy is stamped with the Simple Alphabet die cut from the big shop I love these letters. I used the silver cardboard lid from a takeaway foil container. Silver brads and on the right to further hold the band of silver glimmer paper. Silver brads to stud the top note and I think it will fit the bill.  My baby is now 39 OMG I feel old, and he has the gorgeous baby twins on my first scrapbook page below. I am so fortunate.

SWAP FOR CONVENTION IN CANBERRA

By request I have decided to share my swap I have made for convention.  Due to time constraints I have only made enough to share with the team I am going with and one for Stampin' up!Ⓡ as they tend to put most of the swaps on bulletin boards and the attendees can take lots of photos.

The swap is a box containing a notepad A6 size, and a pencil which I stamped with the tiny tags flower.

The box features the new framelets, and the butterfly die is cut out in velum and also designer paper to layer it. Hope you like it.
