MOTHER’S DAY – A MONTH AWAY

It’s time to start preparing for Mother’s Day. This year, in Australia, we celebrate our mums on the 10th May.

This is a little gift box that holds a strawberry Revlon Kiss.

The BEST DRESSED SUITE is perfect for any Mother’s Day project. I used Melon Mambo rather than Lovely Lipstick to tie the colour of the lip balm into the project.

Using the White Stampin’ Chalk Marker and Wink of Stella allowed me to emphasise one side of the lipstick die cut.

What will you make for Mother’s Day?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

These are the products I used to make this project. If you live in Australia, you can order any of them through me.

COLOUR INKSPIRATION CHALLENGE #75

I haven’t done many challenges before but I decided to have a go at this one – Colour INKspiration #75 – Daffodil Delight, Call Me Clover, Gorgeous Grape, Melon Mambo and Mango Melody!

These are five colours that I would not immediately choose for a project – so this challenge has stretched me.

'Welcome to our 75th Colour INKspiration Challenge!

Today's beautiful picture that has inspired our colour palette was chosen by Colour INKspiration Crew member, Cathy Pinchbeck.

Don't you just love this combination of Daffodil Delight, Call Me Clover, Gorgeous Grape, Melon Mambo and Mango Melody!

As well as the chosen colours above you may also add Whisper White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Basic Black and Metallics to your project. We also allow 'Ivory' and 'Bronze' from the Stampin' Blends. If you don't have all the colour palette as listed above please feel free to add the closest Stampin' Up!® substitute - such as Crushed Curry instead of Daffodil Delight - I am sure you get the idea!

We hope you can participate in this round and look forward to seeing some wonderful projects using the colour palette. Please ensure your project is NEW and created specifically for this challenge.

CI#75 will run for almost TWO weeks and will end at 7pm  (AEST) on Monday 20th April.

Just a reminder to upload your picture straight to the discussion wall and NOT in an album please.

Enjoy creating with this stunning colour palette.

I worked on two projects today –

I used the Ornate Style and Peaceful Moments stamp sets and Ornate Frames Dies.

I stamped the floral image several times and then die cut it for the top and bottom trimmed frames. The sentiment was stamped before stamping and colouring the florals again.

A few rhinestones to finish the sentiment layer.

The second card is more geometric in style but still uses the prescribed colours, which look bold against the Basic Black background. I also used the Ornate Thanks stamp set.

I think I used the Ornate Gardens products quite differently and am very pleased with the results.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

The products I used to make these two products are listed below. If you live in Australia, you can order any of these products through me.

COLOURING TIME

While everyone is home over Easter, and many of us will be staying in well after this weekend, I’m sure parents are thinking of lots of activities to keep their children active.

Kids love presents – so this project takes a packet of crayons and turns it into a special treat.

This flip top gift box is decorated the FOLLOW YOUR ART DSP and has a belly band with more of the products from the SUITE .

This project was lots of fun to make and I’m looking forward to sending it to a friend with young grandchildren, for them to create with.

It is easy to turn something into a special gift – it’s all in the packaging!

What do you think?
