Their stamps are new to me, and I find these cling stamps very good, with great images and sentiments. For this blog hop, I have used the Christmas set stamps. I have also used the wonderful sketch of Sankari. Since the birth of Christ is my focal point, I have done layers of colour by sponging the background before stamping the image. I have added title to the image using silver EP with heated gun. Papers are from the retired SU christmas designer paper. And for the added detail, instead of using flowers or buttons, I have used a sentiment which captures the essence of Christmas. The detailing I have done is the embossing on the background and piercing. Hope you enjoy this blog hop. See the other amazing creations by clicking the link below as I couldn't figure it out.Thanks for looking!<br />

Check out the <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesignsblog.blogspot.com/">Our Daily Bread Blog</a> for details. I was up for this challenge as I haven't used my watercolour pencils for a long time. I have used a lot of sponging here for the sentiments and the edges of the paper. I have used 3 SU brads to accentuate the page. The hardest part was cutting along the delicate flower image after colouring with the pencil. I have also used SU blender pen to soften the strong hues, to blend the colours beautifully. As my main entiment is about my mom, I have torn the kraft cardstock and sponged it to give it a distress look. This card can have a photo of mom or a greeting of Happy Mother's Day bedie the flower image. The best part about this card is that you can display it on a coffee table a it appears as a brag bag, cute but personal. Hope you like my creation, Mom. Thanks for stopping by.<br />

I am kind of predictable with my gifts, as she knows that it is usually, handmade. But this is my first time to join this challenge, <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesignsblog.blogspot.com/">ODBDSLC10</a>, by using a recycled acetate packaging. Over at <a href="http://stampinsistersinchrist.blogspot.com/">Stampin Sisters in Christ,</a> the challenge was to use flowers on your creation. I thought of using silk flowers and branches from the SU bird punch to add that special touch to the card. What I loved most is the sentiment that came with it from Proverbs 34:95-96 "She is clothes with strength and dignity, she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue." Thanks for stopping by.<br />

For a change, I have been inspired to do more scrapbook pages than cards. I think its a personal challenge for me to keep up with my scrapbook backlog.<br />
<br />
For the first project, I made this cute scarecrow and tractor with fellow ladies at sap sisters last Tuesday during Melissa's punch art class. Let me know if you want an invite. I'm sure, you'll enjoy the challenges we have.<br />

If you want to join swap sisters, email me, and I am sure you'll enjoy the projects and inspiration that we share. The first project is my first ATC with a spring theme. Thanks Courtney for the ideas and inspiration. For the secont project, I made a scrapbook layout using the punch art key. I didn't know that we could have so many uses with our SU punches. Thanks Melissa Davies, the inspiration behind the Punch art tuesdays. Thanks for looking!<br />

I wanted a bright box for spring, so I used taken with teal, and decorated it using whisper white and certainly celery. I didn't have all the punches for the bunny, so I did some freehand cutting for some parts. I am making at least 5 boxes of chocolates to give away as treats for Sunday. Hope I finish these in time. I have added a door which hides the basket of carrots form the bunny (a twist of the bunny hideout). Check out my next post, my other box, another Ustamp inspired one by Natasha Zandbergen. Thanks for looking and happy crafting!<br />

For this week's challenge, I thought of using this technique in this week's colour combo. I have used the new Vintage Vogue (set, coming out this Aptil 1) and the Summer set from the past spring mini catty. The SU cutter was very handy in roughening up the edges, and the sponging also helped.<br />
<br />

I am glad that the challenge at UStamp motivated me to get back to it again. I have recorded a special occasion marking my stepfather's 80th birthday.

Cardstock: cameo coral, baja breeze, black, brocade blue, whisper white<br />

My niece is having her 4th birthday soon, so I thought that this challenge could be good to give her. I only used that prescribed colours with cardstock, but no ink (except for so saffron) as I am not a bold fan. Luckily, the pastels are a big help for this challenge which I used on the girl. I like cards with movement so I made a spinning birthday card that shows the 4 colours when you turn the wheel each time. I embossed the party hats, the gift, and the cupcake on the inside card.<br />

I have been experimenting with sponging and masking and using different tones of colours to create the background. I don't normally use purple, but now am convinced that any colour will do, just depends on the colour combo used. I was a bit lazy changing my post it mask and used the same tear to layer the horizon. I think it still created a nice background. Lovely as a Tree still is my favourite, and this time, I embossed it the clear EP, and am surprised with the textured effect.</div></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLoOz5PQsC1oojxjcMj-nkhNN1OrAPk9blg6mAW2Mjy5j_m1yuS8uUB8ZmyNPspFe-9PAYBgH3cF4GiD0U_559qPteGvfgvarrITUtFY5z57iEFy_8uqXK1rtHxOEjSdO0Y7p7zr4bs20C/s1600-h/march.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" kt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLoOz5PQsC1oojxjcMj-nkhNN1OrAPk9blg6mAW2Mjy5j_m1yuS8uUB8ZmyNPspFe-9PAYBgH3cF4GiD0U_559qPteGvfgvarrITUtFY5z57iEFy_8uqXK1rtHxOEjSdO0Y7p7zr4bs20C/s320/march.jpg" /></a></div><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img align="middle" alt="Posted by Picasa" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" style="-moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; background: 0% 50%; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></a></div>Clarissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05449971319187580381noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921434745638874301.post-74198817097808070882010-03-06T15:56:00.000+13:002010-03-06T15:56:44.175+13:00Exploding box of Goodies<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIU6xWeJVy9dK19rdt-dEsBqrJYFMrY0YKdxJezeGFGYCsa2cYLBfHV88FRmsj3kzyOcOScwFRF8invJt9H2lMA9bKZRkZsQwLD56VL3WW7OaeMfiRt21VJnQMbN6axEqpEyXBI213ltF3/s1600-h/exploding+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" kt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIU6xWeJVy9dK19rdt-dEsBqrJYFMrY0YKdxJezeGFGYCsa2cYLBfHV88FRmsj3kzyOcOScwFRF8invJt9H2lMA9bKZRkZsQwLD56VL3WW7OaeMfiRt21VJnQMbN6axEqpEyXBI213ltF3/s400/exploding+3.jpg" width="285" /></a></div><br />

Thanks Paula for introducing this box, i had fun making it this afternoon, hope this is the start to keep my mojo going. I have decided to use the good neighbours stamp set as I really love this set from the SAB. I also complimented it with the Kids at play (retired) set as I thought of kids on the tree or hiding at the back of the hedge using the green strip of paper. I used mainly markers to add colour to the house, and used the sentiment Happy Birthday from the Vintage Labels set (anothe SAB). To decorate the top of my box, I just used the tree stamp without the trunk from the Good Neighbours set as well.Clarissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05449971319187580381noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921434745638874301.post-91315413988992804942009-12-22T12:50:00.000+13:002009-12-22T12:50:38.864+13:00A merry Christmas to you all!Christmas is always a busy time, and I would like to wish everyone (who dropped by to look at my blog, or leave comments) a wonderful Christmas and a peaceful New Year.

I cased this scenery from MF's blog, but had to add something else, rather than the leaf. I thought of adding a forest friends stamp (a good way of remembering a friend this Christmas!). Hoping whoever friend gets this will like it. This is also the first time that I have some emboss resist, masking and sponging playing with brown, green and orange.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The animal stories stamp set from the new summer mini is starting to grow on me, as initially I had reservations about using this set. After seeing other people's wonderful creations, I have decided to give it a try. So, in anticipation of summer, I thought of creating a secne where my elephant is thirsty. Sorry for the mistake in the elephant, as I think my stamp-a-majic moved, and I ran out of white gel pen as I was creating the effects on the water.</span><br />

Last week, I have cased MZ's chilly front and experimented on adding a boat. I drew the branches and the boat as I don't have any stamps. My card is quite small as this is just an experiment. The only stamp I used here is the snowflake from snow swirled set. Though it doesn't snow here in Wellington, thought that dreams of snow can be best captured in this.</span><br />

This time, I have made the gift card to just slide out, than untying the ribbon. I have used the season of Joy stamp set )hopefully not too late, to use it). Just acquired this set as an early Christmas gift.</span><br />

Sunrise or sunrise always amaze me and I tried to capture this using Lovely as a Tree stamp set. I had to use the colours I have at hand, and sponged one layer after layer to get the desired effect. I've never used as much black, so saffron, pumpkin pie, choc chip, and real red for sponging to get the desired effect.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">One of the things I like about Michelle Zindorf's work is how she is able to capture the reflection of a subject. After much encouragement from my husband to try more scenery cards, I have experimented on this one, using lovely as a tree again. I made a mistake on the first one, so hopefully this is better. I did a lot of sponging and msking on this one, not sure if I achieved the reflection effect.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">After seeing my friend Paula do several scenery cards over the past week, she has convinced me that it's worth trying it out. At first, I was intimidated by it all as I found the idea of sponging, masking and reflecting a bit too much for a beginner like me in card making. But it was worth trying it out as I miss the days when I used to do some painting, I think I will try more nature cards from now on. Thanks Paula, I am now a fan of Michelle Zindorf. I have used my new lovely as a tree stamp set, an early Christmas gift from my musband, and to thank him for it, I have made this card for his upcoming birthday.Hope he likes it!</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This triangle treat box was one of the storage ideas we made at the class. I experimented with daubing pastels on embossed image, central panel (was like applying make-up), and matched the embossed background with soft summer image. I complimented the paisley background with the paisley design from the DSP Raspberry Tart. I saw this box from Paula Ponders blog, but changed the measurements. <br />

</div>One of the things I like about SU is that I learn from ideas of other people, I saw a similar bag from Tracey's blog, but changed it a bit to make it my own. I used the walk in the park DSP, which will be retiring this end of November. To close the lid, you can use a thinner twine or elastic string for better effect. So, if you find this DSP or this gift bag, awesome, email me to book for a class or order the gorgeous paper before it retires this end of the month.<br />
<br />
Paper: pretty in pink, walk in the park DSP, baja breeze<br />
Stamps: oval all<br />
Accessories: bling from prettiest kit, crop a dile, oval and oval scallop punch, piercing tool, large eyelets, and bashful blue 1/4 grossgrain ribbon<br />
