Kristina Werner Colour Challenge #51












Kristina Werner Colour Challenge #51

Another challenge that I missed on posting, however I took it on anyway and the result is quite cute. I had my mother-in-law in mind when I made this card for her birthday.

How I made it: A5 white card stock, folded in half, used my scallop border punch for the edge. Since my fiskars edge punch has some holes, I passed through them some cross stich fibres and added 1/2" circles behind the scallop. Then I punched the flowers in rose and cut them to form petals, then 1" and 1/2" circles in mustard and chocolate for the centres. As stems I saw these with the same chocolate fibres in the shape of a bouquet.

Here is the end result.

Stamping Class - May 09



Today I atttended a Stamping Class at my Stampin Up Distributor. It was so much fun. It combined stamping with paper folding. A great combination as far as I was confirmed. Anyway, here it is.

Hawaiian T-Shirt - Birthday Party Invitation - 1st Birthday

I made this invitation for my son's birthday party. It took me a while to find instructions on how to fold them. I used different paper for each invitation, which worked really well because I got to use a lot of the spare A4 sheets I had. The party details I wrote them in the computer and pasted them on the inside of the last fold, instead on the A4 page, that way the invitation didn't have to be completely undone to read the details and then try to remember how to put it back into its shape.


Here are a few samples that I kept.

Birthday Party Invitation - 5th Birthday

Backpack


I made these packpacks as the invitation for my daughter's birthday, and inside I included the details where the party was taking place. However if you wanted you could use it as the lolly bag instead.




It took me a while to find anything on the internet like what I was looking for. Fortunately eventually I did, unfortunately I they didn't have any measurements, so I had to make a few samples to see what worked best. Anyway I ended up with these.















I made purple backpacks for the girls and the invitation details I made them in pink, while the invitation for the boys I made the backpacks green with the invitation details I made them in yellow.

Mini Album

I made this album for my grandmother to celebrate the 2 great-grand kids she had at the time (since I made this album, 2 more have been added, and I believe that there is another one on the way!). She was so happy as she appreciates more tangable photos than the digital versions that we have all grown to love these days. This mini album is easy to make.


















How it's made: need 2 covers & 3 squares for the pages of the album, plus ribbon to tie the complete album. It is kind of difficult to describe the rest. Maybe this could be my first tutorial video ..... Nah. Not yet. That could be a "one day maybe, but not right now thing!"

Easter Card


I made this card just as a sample. Some years ago, I bought an Easter card making kit for my daughter to make with me. It contains at least 10 Egg shaped cards and 10 rabbit cards. Unfortunately we never got to use it, until now.

What I used:
Used the Easter Egg Shape and used my fiskar's scallops edge punch, plus I used the left over of those for the pink & yellow lines on the top and bottom of the card. I also used a few flowers that I punched in yellow and a added gold string bow on the top.

Easter Chocolate Bundles

I made these little chocolate bundles for my daughter's ballet friends and for the kid's childcare centre, plus I left I few for some relatives and family friends.


How I made them:

The parcels - I used cellophane squares for each parcel. I put a few eggs on each parcel and then tied them with some ribbon. Then to each bundle I attached one of 2 tag designs.










The tags - I made 2 types.
  1. I created squares in pink, then matted them on white card 1/4" bigger, then I added a flower on one corner and above wrote Happy Easter (you picture below)
  2. I created round scallop cards in pink, then I added a flower on one corner and wrote above Happy Easter (see picture below)
