Not the Spice Girls but Spice Jars!

I bought these little spice jars at a school fair sometime ago for abut 50 cents! I finally got round to decorating them the other night! I used my nesties to cut out the scallop circles for the top of the lids. Then I used paper flowers & stick-on pearls & put them in the center of each scallop circle. I used Bazzill card (my favourite!) on the lids as well as for the strips around each jar. They were quick to make, not a lot to do! The little black centers in some of the flowers are a small sunshine sort of punch. I already had those punched out & thought, "they will do"! And they did! I had fun with these & will keep them in the kitchen. Heaven knows what I will put in them?! Any suggestions, besides spices?! Now I want more jars to decorate! Off to the op shop I think!

Circles & Daisies!

I cut out some circles using my nesties, in various colours, then stamped half a daisy stamp (also in various ink colours to match the card). Then I glued a tiny gem to the center of each daisy & stuck the circles to the black card, then on to the yellow card. (I must use more YELLOW!) I added tiny yellow flower brads to the corners of the black card.

Funky Fridge Magnets!

I made 12 of these the other night - yes I am MAD! I made two of each colour. I used my scallop & plain circle nesties & I also punched out (With my nesties of course!) an extra white scallop of heavy duty card to put on the back to make the magnets more solid. The stamp is from "Imaginations" & is one of my fave stamps! These measure about 3 1/2 inches in diameter. I had fun making these & think I will make some Christmas ones to put in my Christmas cards this year!

Orange Bling!

To make this card (it was quick!) I stuck some orange dotted ribbon across the center of the white card. I then punched out some orange daisies & some pale apricot flowers using my flower punches. I also punched out some green petals which I have used for leaves. I glued them to the orange dotted ribbon & added some orange & diamond coloured gems. Lastly I stamped "With Love", which is a Heidi Grace stamp. I also added a diamond coloured gem to the dot over the "i". Card finished!

A Little "Pig-me-up"!

Thanks to Lorraine for this awesome little piggy! Please check out her blog because she has some great things there! He is made using the round tab punch, a circle nestie or punch, a heart punch & a small oval nestie (or punch). They are easy to make & don't take very long at all! I made six this morning while having breakfast! I drew his nostrils using a pink pen & glued on his eyes. He even has a curly tail on his behind! I hope you can see how to assemble him from the photo's above?! I cut the hearts in half - one for each ear & discarded the piece I didn't use. Oh yes, I stamped his wings with a stamp I had, but you could leave the wings out, or cut them out of card if you wanted to. I made one into a fridge magnet by putting a strip of self adhesive magnet on the back of him - very cute! It will remind me not to "pig-out" every time I open the fridge?!!

"Friends"

The words on this card are from www.kiwistamping.co.nz check out their website for some neat stamps etc!

I used my Floral Fantasy embossing folder & made the little pocket using some pale pink vellum.

I stamped the words onto some lilac card & made a tag using the round tab punch from SU. I stamped the flower & lines using the Totally Tabs stamp set, also from SU.

I added some sparkly pink lines around the edge of the card & added some paper flowers in the bottom right hand corner. Oh yes, I also added some stick on pearls! Oh bliss oh joy, I love to make easy peasy cards!! (Especially as I am cranky & still have a sore hip...but that's another story...)

Happy Birthday

My scanner has gremlins in it. This LILAC card on here is actually HOT PINK!! And so is the lilac strip at the bottom of the card!!!

I'll have the check with "the mechanic" about this, it's weird!

Anyhow, I did this whole card using the cuttlebug folders. The parcel is done using the Tag Team Presents set. You use the die to cut the present then the embossing folders that come with it. I used the Happy Birthday one on here. I embossed the black card using the Tiny Bubbles folder. Made in a matter of minutes! I added some Kindy Glitz & the card was finished!
