I just love how new stamps and supplies can bring back your Mojo….I think it’s safe to say my “dry” spell is over, For the past few months I just feel like I had lost my Mojo, My “wow” factor….But I have been making a few cards this week using some of my new stamps and I feel like I have it back, This is just the start of the new cards….. I know they are good cards because My Sister {who does not really get the Cardmaking/stamping thing} said she liked them….. SHOCK.

Anyway, I have used Friends 24-7 and A Rose is a Rose to create this card. I must say these are my two Favourite sets from the new Catty…….SO MANY nice sets but…. AND the new papers…..OMG……… You will see over the next few posts I am loving the new papers. Just a couple of things on this card, I have used the new Build a Brad {which I loooooove} I attached a large Pearl from the Pretties kit in the centre and following the “flag” trend that is huge in Papercraft at the moment I cut a strip of paper then using my square punch I just create the V {SO much easier then just cutting it cut with paper snips}

Materials used:
Stamps: Friends 24-7 and A Rose is a Rose Both NEW
Ink: Choc Chip, Brown StazOn, Boarding Blue, Mellow Moss, Creamy Caramel and Going Grey
Paper: SU Watercolour paper, Very Vanilla, Choc Chip CS & DD and Bella Bleu
Other: Blender Pen, Choc Ribbon, Build a Brad, Pearl from Pretties kit, Kaiser tiny pearl, Dauber, Large Square punch and Spellbinder Oval and Oval Scallop.

I am back with not a great card but a card… *So cute* yesterday I got 2 emails asking if I have gone “shy” again not blogging…NO, I have been SO sick (still am) with a bad case of the flu and my voice sounds like a cross between a Man and a Horse, SO I am not allowed to talk for the next 2 days because I am at the Papercraft Festival in Sydney this weekend and I NEED to be able to talk all weekend so the doctor told me to let my voice box rest…This NO talking thing is hard, I never realised how much I like talking.

I will stop talking and get on to my card….

I have finally given this brayered background technique a try…and I really enjoyed it, I had been scared to give it a try because it looked hard but it is easy and FUN. I have used every Pink ink pad I own on this card. It’s just simple in design but simple works…. You know WHAT, I do like this card and it looks like silk in real life…..

I had seen waterfall cards made before but I was never attempted to make them because it looked too hard, But you know what…. they are not that hard and they are SO much fun, I love to play with the card and make the squares flip over. I did this card for my Technique classes last month and in EVERY class someone would take the card off me so I would stop playing with it, I guess I was showing my age… {giggle}

Anyway this is what my card looks like…

Then pull the tub and…… Ohhhhhhh

arrrrrrrrrrr….

So much fun to make.

Well its almost been a week since I started blogging… It’s fun but I think I am addicted to getting comments, My laptop is on my stamping desk and I find myself hitting refresh regularly to see if anyone has left me a comment, If I get a new comment I get so excited and I am not getting much work done, But don’t let that stop you leaving me comments :0) It has been lovely reading comments that I have inspired a few people and I am surprised with the number of visitors I am having, So Thank you for stopping by.

I need to focus and talk about this card, I have mixed feeling about this card… You know when you make a card and are happy with it…. You pack everything away, then look at the card again and don’t like it. The ladies at my class tonight all loved it, But I am still not sure. If you like my card and want to make your own, Well your in luck I have two spots left for my Technique class on Friday night, You will make this card and another card I do really LOVE, or just contact me about booking your own class and I will come to you (if you live in Sydney).
