Difference of ideas

So was the Easter Bunny good to everyone?  He was good to me - I'm on a bit of diet (20kg so far) so all he left for me was his carrot sticks :)


The original card
We had a class this weekend and I wanted to share everyone's interpretation of the card I made.  Everyone had the same items in their kits and all had access to the same tools and stamps, but each card came out completely different. The idea behind the card was to show everyone how to use core'dinations card stock and to do some acrylic stamping to create a watermark background.   






These were the 3 cards produced on the day

The stamp set used was Birthday Messages by Hero Arts.  There is a cake in this set but the person that made the card on the right, saw that when you stamped it upside down, it became a Robot.  She added some pearls to what was the legs of the stand and suddenly you have this cute little robot. 

Now its time to work on the next lot of classes.

Easter Project - 2-4-6-8 box

It's been a while since my last post.  Time as usual has been flying by and I don't seem to have stopped.  Lots of new and exciting things have been happening including finally retiring!!! Well retiring from working for others.

It was a huge leap of faith I took and thanks to my ever supportive husband, I am at long last working for myself and doing what I love most.  Its taken a few months to get settled into a regular routine and finding time to fit everything in.  Yep that's right, even without working for someone else, its still hard to get everything done in the hours given to us :)  But now things have started to come together, it is time to start bringing lots of wonderful projects your way.


So to start, this is the cute little Easter Project we have been working on in class this month.  It is a 2-4-6-8 box that has been cut, scored and constructed to form a milk carton.

I've only added 10 eggs to the carton, but you could easily get double that in them. 

Why not try doing them in different colours and then using them for Christmas, Birthdays, wedding favours and so much more!


Here's a video showing how I made these cute cartons.



Wishing everyone a Happy and Safe Easter!
