Fiskars Craft

Inspired by Twinchies

I was so inspired by Annettes post on "Twinchies" crossing fingers that how you spell it..LOL

Here are my twinchies, they will be used as gift tags for pressies under the tree on Christmas morning.

 

I've used the Cloud 9 Christmas clear stamp set.

take care

Recycle your old Christmas cards

I love recycling last years received commercial Christmas cards into new ones....

This year is no exception.
With a little sparkle added and some great shape punches you can do anything!

I used:

• Cloud9 - Christmas is... "peace" clear stamp (from last years release)
• Fiskars Dye Ink Pad - chestnut Brown
• Fiskars Foam pads (available from spotlight)
• Fiskars XL seal of approval squeeze punch (available now from spotlight stores)
• Fiskars Valentrio corner punch (available now at wholesalers)
• Fiskars 12" trimmer with scoring blade (spotlight and Warehouse stationery)
• Fiskars 6in1 tool - Blade and Tweezers (spotlight)

Thanks for looking. Have a great Christmas!

So yummy

Hi everyone,

What a yummy meal I ordered...

Potato wedges

Garlic steak

roasted stuffed capsicums

Cheese cake

  

So I had to create a...

8x11

brown orange and green

stamping and brads

4 patterned papers.

I also wanted to include journalling on the page, but didn't have enough room. So I added a tag to the upper right hand side using some string. The tag will be easy to pull out and read once the page is inside my album.

 

I hope enjoy your meal as much as I have enjoyed mine.

Take care

Jacky

 

 

Stamping up a wrap for Christmas

The stamp factory is great for stamping up patterned papers as well as wrapping paper for the Christmas holidays.

I only still have black ink pad at the moment. So decided to put some coloured ink pads direct to paper first then stamp away....

 

I used Cloud9 "Christmas is" stamps (from last year)
And Fiskars "'Twas the night" (from last year)

The Fiskars Stamp Factory (available now at spotlight stores)

And some tissue paper I got from a shoe purchase.

 

This is what I ended up with....

 

Matching tags of course with the Ultra shape express and tag template. (spotlight and Wharehouse stationery stores)
I used the edge of the tag template for the To: From: section of the tag.

 

This was done very fast and very very simply. As my 2.5yr old son had 5 min in front of the tv.

Took me longer to pack up than to do the tags and stamp up the paper. lol
Love fast projects.

Wendy's Menu - November Challenge

Hi Everyone

We are off to a great start with this challenge, it is so much fun.  It certainly gets you out of your box and helps you try new things.

My Criteria was

8.5 x 11 size layout
use brown green orange - for orange i used the Lil Davis Chipboard Alphabet Away we go, brown and green was my paper
two patttern papers - Kimberley Polson Nature's Flora Flights of Fancy and Cloud9 Alyssa's Garden Fleur

cardboard and paint- the sun punch outs were cream cardboard

I used the Fiskars Soleil Squeeze punch and Paint is Making Memories Shopping Bag.

cardstock optional - I did not use any

I have used a picture taken while on a city tour in melb recently.  This is the corner of Flinders and Swanston St a big main intersection.  The building is Flinders St Station, our main hub for suburban trains in Melb.  I love our city and it was certainly bathed in sunshine this day. With the City Circle Tram and the Station this is classic melbourne.

I dont have any journaling on here as I think the picture says it all.

Thank you for looking Happy Creating and I Hope you all get to play along this month.

Keep Smiling

Wendy

Well... I did something "outside my box"!

.. and I'm not sure I like it.  It was all going ok until I handwrote directly on the layout!  That's definately outside my comfort zone because I can't write straight!! 

BUT, at least I tried something a bit freestyle.

I used my Fiskars hole punch, circle and oval punches, as well as Heidi Grace and Cloud 9 papers, Kimberley Poloson rub ons and Cloud 9 dimensional stickers.

I just picked up the pink alpha stickers at Spotlight.  They are Cloud 9 'Alyssa's Garden'.  I love the funky font and there are heaps on a sheet.  Great value!

TFL and I hope you all have fun getting out of your comfort zone:)

Layout - Queen of Extreme

This was a layout I had published in Scrapbooking Memories a couple of months ago.

It features my neice and her quirks!

I used the Heidi Grace "Only Time" papers which feature clocks... so I used the circle theme. 

I've used my Fiskars Circle Border Punch "Antique Elegance", Border Punch "Threading Water", Fiskars Eyelet Setter/Hole Punch and Cloud 9 Vellum Flowers, as well as some really old HG rub ons.
