My poor neglected blog... it has been so long since I visited here. I do have a new pattern that I am quite proud of. you can vie it here on my website.

Mother's Day Bookmark Printables

2010-04-05T21:12:00.000-07:00

We are having a Mother's Day stall at school again this year - it is a regular fund raiser for the school and the kids love to shop there for their gifts. I designed some new bookmarks for the stall. They are available in my printables section here at my store. Just print, trim and laminate - such a quick and easy project.

Two Easter Cards

2010-03-31T03:45:00.000-07:00

Can you tell I love bunnies? Both these Easter cards feature hand stamped bunnies. The little coloured bunny is a stamp fom StampIt. I colourd him with prismacolor pencils. The brown bunny has been stamped onto cork. He is gorgeous - a stamp from Amazing Creations. Both these stamps are from Australian companies I am proud to say.

The Easter Greetings card has an embossed background. I did that with my lovely little cuttlebug and an embossing folder. I love Easter - the pastel colours but most of all the chocolate.... Yummmm.

I made these cards from my Easter Card Making Kit available in my shop. You can see all the Easter cards I made with this kit here on my blog.

Pom Pom Bunnies Easter Card

2010-03-26T00:42:00.000-07:00

Another of my Easter Cards. I like this pink cutout paper. I glued it onto a tiny pink polka dot backing paper and added some purple ricrac with double sided tape. The little bunnies are a stamp from Craft Ceations. I stamped them onto tan cardstock and added the smallest, cutest pom poms for tails. I mounted the bunnies onto purple corrugated card to create some balance against rhe purple base card. Tied it all together with a prima purple flower and baby pink brad. The dotted Happy Easter stamp from Printblocks tied in well with the theme - I stamped and embossed this one in pink. It is mounted onto some purple corrugated card like the bunnies. Now time for some chocolate....I have a card making kit to make all of my Easter Cards all ready to list in my shop and I also have one up for auction this week on Ebay here.

Spring Bunny Easter Card

2010-03-23T16:57:00.001-07:00

This is one of my pretty Easter Cards. I love Penny Black stamps... this bunny is from her Garden Friends Cling Mount set. I coloured it with tombow pens and prismacolor pencils. The Happy Easter stamp is from StampIt. The pretty gingham backing paper is from Penny Black as well. I finished the card with some flower punchies and just had to add some kindy glitz of course!

I have made an Easter card kit and it is available on ebay here. It includes everything you need to make this card along with 5 other pretty Easter cards and some extra Easter embellishments. I'll show you the other cards I have made soon.

New handmade ACEO's on Etsy

2010-01-29T21:06:00.000-08:00

Frame them, collect them, trade them, use them as gift card inserts, book marks, gift tags, magnets ... they are so versatile.

Free Creativity e-course

2009-07-21T17:06:00.000-07:00

Hey I just signed up for a free e-course at Expressive Art Workshops and I thought I would share the link as it looks so good.

Free e-course at Expressive Art Workshops

The course offers a Deepening of Creativity because too often we can approach creativity as just another accomplishment instead of a means of unfolding into our true selves. Most creativity is about expressing what we want to know about ourselves and how we want to be seen. Spontaneous collage taps into the unconscious mind and tells you what you do not know about yourself.

This mini course involves meditating on a small, torn paper spontaneous collage each day for ten days. Every second day for 10 days you will receive an e-mail that will encourage towards deeper self-knowledge through spontaneous collage.

New Handmade Cards

2009-07-20T22:44:00.001-07:00

Yes - more cards! I have been busy getting my other blog set up - it's all on handmade cards and other papercrafts. While doing that I stumbled across some sites that run challenges and competitions and well I just could not resist. Here is one of the cards I entered. More details can be found at my warmheart cards blog.

I was so happy with my new blog that I thought I had better spruce up this one. I like it and still have plans to do a little more - it sure can get addictive and is very time consuming. ... but so much fun!

Heartfelt Wishes Window Card

2009-07-17T22:10:00.000-07:00

This card has been stamped with Hero arts H1107 Wood mounted Sunflower Gal and CL272 All Occasion Clear Stamps. I also used a cream DL window card.

Stamp the Sunflower gal stamp twice onto YES Card with black ink and emboss with clear powder. I prefer this YES Card for stamping and colouring images. It has a nice smooth surface and allows blending of the coloured pens with water. Click on the link to purchase. Colour one image completely and only colour the flowers of the second image. I used tombow pens to colour. Refer to pic for colours. Cut out the coloured parts and put aside.

Stamp Heartfelt Wishes onto a 1.5x5cm piece of YES Card and emboss as before. Run the blue pen used to colour the dress of the gal around the outside edge of the little stamped rectangle. That helps to tie your colours together.

Now for the window. Cut 3 pieces of jute string - about 10cm lengths. Cut a piece of acetate about 7cm square. Stick the acetate over the window on the front of the card. Then stick down the string - 2 diagonally and 1 horizontally. refer to the pic.

Next sew an 18mm wooden button onto the centre of the acetate - where the jute crosses. I used black DMC floss and a needle. Leave some of the floss loose as in the pic.
Cut some hessian. 10x6cm piece and 8x3cm piece. Fray the edges a bit and stick it to the black overlay of the window card. Use doublesided tape.
Then sew around the inside edge of the stuck on hessian pieces with a sewing machine. Use black cotton and a zigzag stitch.
Stick the overlay to the main card with double sided tape.
Refer to the pic for placement of the stamped images. I used craft glue to stick them down flat on the hessian and then magic mount to raise up the flowers on the basket and in the gal's hair.

Bear Hugs to you Card

2009-07-17T21:48:00.000-07:00

This card has been stamped using Printblocks bear Hugs stamp and Old Bear Large 904LK from Lucy's stamps.

Start with a standard A5 black card and a 10x14cm piece of light brown decorative paper.

Distress the edges of the paper by rubbing Walnut Ink Stain Distress Ink Pad around the outside edges.

Stamp the Large Old bear stamp with this ink onto a cork paper sheet and emboss. Cut out.

Then stamp "bear hugs" with the same ink onto the end of a medium tag. Distress the edges of the tag as you did before. Run the tag through a Cuttlebug embossing folder to give it the wrinkled appearance.

With double sided tape, stick on a piece of brown plain ribbon and then a piece of brown ric-rac onto the other end of the tag. Refer to the pic.

Tear a piece of contrasting brown decorative paper about 2x13cm. Distress the torn edge and using the double sided tape, stick it to the top of the 10x14cm piece of decorative paper mat.

Next stick the cork bear on the right side of the card. I used craft glue.

Using double sided tape, stick on the tag. Slip the top of the tag just under the bear's paw.

Most of the supplies are available from our store.

Distressed Thankyou Card

2009-07-17T19:01:00.000-07:00

This card has been handstamped using Hero Arts CL290 Printed Flowers and CL272 All Occasion clear stamps. I designed this card for the Hero Arts challenge this week.

First I made a 14cm cream base card and distressed the edges by rubbing them along a Walnut Stain Distress Ink Pad.
Stamp "Thank you very much" with the same ink pad onto the same cream card. Trim and distress the edges in the same way.
Make a mat for the stamped message from chocolate card and stick together with double sided tape. Also cut a mat 12cm square from the chocolate card and set aside.
To make the distressed background, start with a piece of decorative handwriting paper and stamp flowers over it using the watercolour technique. Ink up the stamp with Antique Linen Distress Ink and before stamping, spritz it with water. (Use a fine mist spray bottle)Randomly stamp over the decorative paper.
When dry, crumple the decorative paper up into a small ball and then gently unfold it and flatten it out as much as possible. Rub the Walnut Stain Distress Ink Pad gently over the crumpled paper to get those dark cracks and highlights. Then tear the edges so that you have about a 11x10cm piece and adhere to the large chocolate mat you put aside with double sided tape.
Zig-zag stitch along some of the edges with a sewing machine.
Next get a large cream flower and rub the Walnut Stain Distress Ink Pad over it.
Stamp the Thankyou printed flower stamp with the same distress ink onto mustard card and cut out.
Stick a piece of decorative ribbon along the bottom edge of the large chocolate mat - see the pics for placement. Use double sided tape and tuck the edges to the back.
Now layer the flowers and place them on the card mat. Secure them in place with a large chocolate brad.
Position the stamped and matted "Thank you very much" and stick in place with magic mount.
Distress the card insert with the Antique Linen Ink Pad. I used Yes paper and gently rubbed the ink pad all over it.

I love distressed cards - they are quick and fun to make.

Papercrafts

2009-06-30T16:22:00.000-07:00

Well our card making workshop was alot of fun and everyone made some lovely cards - even the kids got involved. It has inspired me to get the papercrafts section of my website organised. I have been listing beads but will now get the papercrafts online and hopefully make some time to create some new card designs for you. Time... I never have enough!

Card Making

2009-06-16T21:49:00.000-07:00

I have been busy making greeting cards for a beginner's workshop I am teaching on the weekend. It is such a relaxing way to spend your time. I have not made any cards for some time now and my basket of handmade cards was certainly getting low. Now it is all stocked up and ready to go.

Feel free to copy these ideas.

Prim Wool sheep

2009-06-05T19:21:00.000-07:00

I just finished my new prim sheep. I made a few of these from different fabrics but my favourite was an old worn wool blanket. I stressed and dyed it and it makes this little fellow feel so nice. Of course - what better fabric for sheep than wool!

I also made some in towelling, flannel and chenille. They all looked good.

Now I just have to write the pattern up and you will find the pattern ready to download on my website: http://www.allthingscountrynprim.com/

Libby's Cupcake Quilt

2009-05-30T15:01:00.000-07:00

Well I finished Lib's cupcake quilt. She has a pink and brown room so hence the colour choices for her little quilt. She loved it - apparently it is AWESOME!

Now I just have to upoload the pattern to my site and then I can start my next project. I found an old worn woollen blanket that would make some great prim sheep.

welcome

2009-05-27T16:43:00.000-07:00

Well here I am in the world of blogging -

Welcome

I have been busy of late setting up my new website: www.allthingscountrynprim.com where you can download my original country and prim craft patterns instantly. I just added two new stitchery patterns yesterday.

I LOVE PAINTED STITCHERIES

I was happy with this design - I added some buttons to the flower centres which gives the stitchery some added interest.

My daughter just loves the pretty shabby look so I designed this cupcake stitchery for her. It has pretty seed beads as sprinkles on the icing - she loved it. I had to make it into a cushion as she has quite a collection of them.

So two more patterns on my site and another cupcake quilt on the way - I am off now to do some more stitching.
