Kiss Me!

I made this card earlier but couldn't post it as we had a five hour power cut! How totally inconsiderate of the power company!! Anyhow, I based the idea of this card one of Frances cards - check out her blog, she has some neat stuff! The dog is from Ann-ticipations - is he cute or what?! I just looove him! (Don't know that I'd want to kiss him though...) The red heart with "kiss me" on is from a (now deleted) set from All Night Media.
The red card was cuttlebugged & I have used my circle Nestabilities for the red pink & white circles. LOVE those Nesties! Just got my square ones in todays mail!!
Well, it's New Years Eve tonight, for us here 'down under'! I hope all you bloggers out there have a safe & Happy New Year! See you all in 2008!

Chat Box

I have just added a chat box to my blog, so you can chat with me, or others, if I am online! I am not too sure how this works, but Jen says it is EASY, so lets have a go!!

Cut Outs

Not wanting to throw away my old Christmas or Birthday cards, (these are from last year) I decided to see what I could do with my Nestabilities! These are what I came up with! You could make them into cute mobiles or whatever for your kids, or for the local play center! I have also cut out some of the verses from the Christmas cards. I will make some into book marks as well. The possibilities are endless! I HATE throwing out my old cards & have "saved" them for years! I also found some old wrapping paper that has these gorgeous pictures of cats on, shaped like circles. I found a nestie that was the PERFECT size & have cut some out intending to make cards with them! The paper was given to me over 20 years ago!! I had fun with these & as I come up with more idea's I will post them here! Watch this space...I am back!!

Heart & Butterfly Card

I made this card using my heart Nestabilities, and the butterfly one. The butterfly wings stand out, but you can't see that on here. I used vellum paper for the top butterfly & pale blue card for the one underneath. The red heart is actually bright PINK!!

I have used some gold corner stickers & some gold lines for the border. Another quick card! :-)

Hey Sunshine!

I made this with my circle & butterfly Nestabilities. And I used my awesome Hanna Stamps (Hey Sunshine) I WON!! They arrived the day before Christmas, how cool was that!! Thank you to Cambria & to Kristi from Hanna Stamps! There are 28 words/sayings in the set & they are all awesome! I have had fun with them! I used Bazzill card for this card as I really like it. Because I scanned this, the butterfly wings are sitting flat. The pink wings stand out, if you know what I mean?! The lilac butterfly underneath is flat but the pink one on top isn't.

Valentines Day Hanger

Ok, so I haven't posted anything for awhile, but I AM still here! I made this for Valentines Day to hang in my front window! Yes, it IS early!

I used my heart Nestabilities in various sizes & hung a small heart shaped bead at the very bottom. I punched small holes in the top & bottom of each heart & threaded fishing line through the backs of the hearts. This really didn't take too much time to make & was alot of fun! I used some SU stamps (Animal Valentine) probably now deleted, on the white hearts & the words, "Be My Valentine" on the middle heart.

Nestabilites are sets of various shaped dies (scallop & plain) that cut out the shapes, heart, circle, square, just to name a few. I use my Cuttlebug machine with the Nestabilities, but I understand there are other machines such as Wizard, that you can also use. "Christine", I apologise for not replying directly to you but I couldn't find your email address! (Thank you for your comment!) So I hope this answers your question! For ayone who is interested in the Nestabilities, go to http://www.ellenhutson.com/ & search for Spellbinder Nestabilities. I also have some gorgeous butterfly nesties, as well as the other shapes mentioned. I LOVE them!! :-)

They are also available from several Australian companies, such as Fireside Crafts, BizzyBecs & others.

Merry CHristmas Garland

I used my nestabilities to make this. I cut the words using my cricut. The Rudolph at the bottom was also made with my nestabilities. The hardest part?? Making sure I had the letters threaded in the right order so it was spelt right!! I have this hanging in one of my front windows so everyone can see it as they walk by! The layers are red (at the back) green & red again with the words cut out in white. I also used my SU round tab punch to make tabs to thread the green cord through. I attached these to the back of each circle. I had fun making this!
