The Lions Share!

-
Today I am using the Lion image from the fabulous Bonanza Buddies Stamp set and matching dies with which I created a very large box, a card and a tag.The box was made by cutting large pieces of card and taping them together to fit the lid which was the biggest box lid I could make using A4 card! I was aiming for some big pieces for my open hall event to promote the new Spring/Summer mini catalogue - or not so mini!! Sale-a-bration launches at the same time and Both catalogues are winging their way to my current customer base. If you are new to my website and interested in a catalogue please be sure to drop me a line and I will be delighted to send you one if you live in the UK. IF you live in Austria, Germany, France or Netherlands you can also order from me and the catalogues are on my shop - follow the link on my SHOP page above or to the side panel.

The card background has been embossed with a new embossing folder in the new mini called 'coastal weave. Im not sure it is coastal but I liked the woven basket look and thought it could look good later on some Easter projects.
The images on the stamp set are very circus oriented as the lions are piled up like acrobats and I also put some designer series paper panel at the bottom of the card and three white card panels to layer the card up a bit more.
This set really does have it all and I was describing the stamp set pieces and the dies on my blog yesterday so I decided to put a photo in today to show all of the elements. Also I forgot to mention that the tall present could also be used as a candle and the pennant stamped as an ice cream cone with the balloon image as icecream scooped on the top!

If you see anything else in the images be sure to leave a comment !
Tomorrow its the toucan's turn to showcase his card, bag and tag!!

Post it note Holder using Golden Honey Papers - updated imperial measurements for box included.

The Golden Honey Papers in their pristine black white and gold said 'office stationery ' to me and so I used them together with the Honey Bee stamp set and Detailed Bee dies to make some coasters, a gift box holding 6 notecards and envelopes, a post it note holder and a cute giant paperclip topper. I put the photo onto a Facebook page that is for Stampin' Up demonstrators today and was totally overwhelmed by the response and requests for instructions on how to make the post it note holder - so I have quickly put this post together and it is mostly a photo show of the instructions because that was the fastest way I could do it! To make this desktop holder you will need some basic black cardstock. The holder has been made to fit post it notes that measure 3 x 3 inches. I originally made it around the post it notes in and cut in centimetres - So I have taken the original box apart and measured it all and have put some photographs of the measurements and how to put it to

Hello, I love that I can make a rhythm out of joppy and hoppy - its always a struggle thinking of a blog title! Welcome to anyone who has not visited my blog before, I have a fairly new blog, have not participated in the blog hop before and so its especially great to see you! I had a lovely open house last Saturday and invited some of my crafting friends to come and look at what the new Spring/Summer catalogue has to offer and I made some cards to display and the cards I have put up for the blog hop today I made with a stamp set featured on page 44. called Best Catch and co-ordinating Catch of the day thinlits dies. I haven't seen very much on the Internet or on Pinterest anywhere made with this set so I am especially pleased to show you this great set. There is one very special man in my life to whom I recently became engaged and he loves fishing so I thought this set would come in handy. Also he reliably informs me that the fish looked rather like salmon and tha

Playing with Different Coloured Circles

  I thought I would share with you another set of cards and technique that Learned recently on the Creative Card Retreat I attended. I am catching up with some of the presentations still and this tutorial came from one of the Creative team Jackie Bolhuis. These are the cards I made and the envelopes to match and you may just be able to see the inside decoration for the end card in the photograph! The cards look really striking in the new bright in-colours and you simply cut four circles in different graduating sizes using a circle punch - I used my layering circles dies. The you cut them in half on your trimmer. Then arrange. So this is how I layered up my half circles and then the photograph belo shows how I arranged them onto the card. Then simply add a sentiment to the card. The bright colours look great with black but what about trying pastels or a gradient of the same colour, or even glitter card - what about stitched circle dies? Lots and lots of variations and combinations with
