Sassy Scrappers- St Nicholas Easel Card

Hi There!
I have a post on the Sassy Scrappers blog today. You have just under a week to join us for our first ever blog hop! There is a $50 gift voucher up for grabs plus some other fab prizes! Just pop over to this post for details!
So it is the start of school holidays in Victoria. 1 half of me says yay no swimming, ballet, footy & footy training for 2 weeks while the other half of me is already going nuts listening to the fighting, whinges of I'm bored & hungry LOL!
Today I have an easel card using the new Kaisercraft St Nicholas collection. I have made this a bit differently by adding a flip top gift box underneath the card. Perfect for candy canes or chocolate surprises! This collection is a gorgeous vintage/traditional xmas collection. Lot's of beautiful images to fussy cut too!

My Creative Scrapbook August Main Kit

Hi There!

Pam has treated us to an early reveal this month over at My Creative Scrapbook!! Today I am sharing my projects created using the August Main Kit. This was filled with the cute & adorable simple Stories Summer Fresh. There are soooooo may cute embellies & stickers in this kit. I created 4 pages & an easel card & I still have lots left over!

This cute window frame/flower box chippie is part of the kit. I have altered it by painting it on gesso. I then roughly dabbed some Prima chalk ink in Brick wall on the frame. For the flower box I used a Prima chalk ink in Denim & then used some Ranger Crackle paint in Rock Candy. I used some stickers of flowers & strawberries on the outside of the box & then used some Prima paper flowers & buttons from the kit to 'plant' my little garden!

This cute hot air baloon is also part of the sticker sheet. I used some yellow wine & blue organza ribon from the kit to jazz it up a bit

To add texture to the background I decided to paper weave. There will be a tutorial on how to do this on the My Creative Scrapbook blog during the month

I have used another cute sticker with the cart & the gingham fabric is also part of the kit!

I created the kites out of some pattern paper & the brown twine in the kit.

I have done a bit of fussy cutting mixed with stickers on this page. I used some more of that cute gingham fabric to create a ruffle around my circle

I have added an actual denim jeans pocket on my page to use as a photo mat. I got the idea from the little fresh picked memories sticker!

& finally I created an Easel Card

There will also be a tutorial on how to create an easel card on the My Creative Scrapbook blog throughout the month!

I hope you enjoyed my projects. This kit was just so much fun to work with!
I will be back in a few days to share my project using the Flower Kit

Thanks for looking!

Thankyou to all of u that left a comment or became a new follower XX

I want to share my last post for Scrapz.Biz. I have had a great time on the DT & made some great friends there. Thankyou so much to Heike for having me. I had a great time on the DT with an awesome bunch of girls. Thanks Sheree, Chloe, Aga & Nati for all your support & making the DT so friendly & fun to be on.

I am VERY fortunate & excited to have been offered a new DT position which meant leaving Scrapz.Biz. I am so excited & busting to tell you all....... but I can't just yet (soon though YAY!)

Anyway here is my last 3 projects that I did for Baby Month.

This was using Prima Meadow Lark. I entered this page for the April Prima BAP. *** FYI this is NOT a new Ultrasound Pic LOL. This is Evie.

The canvas mini banners were fun to alter with some chalk ink in a blue & purple

I also made a Baby Mobile. These photos are not the best sorry. I found it really hard to photograph to show any detail. Here is a quick tutorial on how to make this mobile

-To start off I cut X2 pieces of 12"X1" strips of card (not just cardstock you will need something thicker)
- Cover both sides of the card with paper
- Use a staple to staple the 2 lengths together on each end so it forms a circle
- Reinforce both of the joins with 1"X4" card covered with matching paper that is inside your circle. Just use your tape to stick down card piece straight over the join (If you want a more sturdy circle you could use something like an embroidery hoop as your base instead
- Cut X4 lengths of ribbon or trim exactly the same length. I used 10" lengths. It is easier to use ribbon or trim that is a little bit thicker
- Staple each length evenly around your circle
- Cut 1 length of ribbon approx 30"
- Place this length in the centre of your circle. Tie the 4 lengths of ribbon you have already stapled to the centre piece of ribbon. Leave approx 10" of length to hang your mobile from. The 4 lengths will now look like a pyramid

- Cut/punch 56 butterflies (or whichever shape you have chosen). Mix & match co ordinating patterns
- Roughly fold each butterfly in half so that it looks more 3 dimensional
- Stick 2 butterflies back to back with the same pattern facing out. adjust butterfly wings so that the butterfly is now completely 3 dimensional
- Continue to stick 5 butterflies per ribbon for the 4 outer lengths & 8 butterflies for the centre length
- Cut your ribbon off under the last butterfly to tidy it up
-Decorate the outside of your circle as desired. I have used some lace & bloomers
- Cover the ribbon where youo have tied the 4 lengths to the centre piece. I have used a flower

I have used paper from the Girls Paperie, Websters Pages Bloomer, Cuttlebug butterfly die & crinkle ribbon

I made another easel card (I still need to post a tutorial for that shortly!)

Easel cards are a new fav of mine at the moment. They are so cute! I have used Cardstock as a base & decorated with Pink  Paislee London Market paper, ephemera & spool button. The cute bow is from Jenni Bowlin

Well thats all for now.

Thanks for looking!
