Miss Pinks Craft Spot

It's a balloon theme over at Global Design this week, so I've put the Balloon Celebration Bundle to good use! I choose a rainbow theme for this project, I love the end result - so bright and happy.  I added a little sparkle to the balloons with Iridescent Ice glitter - it's difficult to photograph though!  The sentiment is from Perfect Pairings, one of the free sets available during Sale-A-Bration.  I thought about a rainbow sentiment, but opted to keep it basic black so as not to take the focus from the gorgeous balloons. Be sure to pop over to the Global Design Project  to see the amazing Balloon themed project by the designers and fellow crafters Here are the products used for my project, click on the links below to shop at my online store 24/7 Perfect Pairings (Wood Mount)   Balloon Celebration Photopolymer Bundle   Perfect Pairings (Clear Mount)   Rich Razzleberry  Classic Stampin' Pad Pacific Point ...

Every time I see a Card in a Box, I admire and I think I must try that; well today I did, here is my first card in a box: I have used the colour theme from Stamp Ink Papers current challenge as my colour base for my Masculine Card in a Box I always struggle with ideas for stamping with Masculine cards, and I must admit I was stuck for some time then it was Gorgeous Grunge to the rescue and then inspiration flowed, I just couldn't stop myself, this is definitely not a "less is more" project! I triple, yes triple you did read right, heat embossed the Birthday years - this gave them a super smooth finish.  The Number of Years bundle is fantastic, stamps and framelits so you can accommodate any year. I went a bit crazy with cutting stars and punching balloons,but it was so much fun seeing the project take shape as I layered it up. The is a larger panel on the back for you to write your special birthday message. I hope you have en...

Balloons and birthdays, what a great combination - today I have made a Shaker Card using the Balloon Bouquet punch. The inspiration for my card is from Global Design Projects Bibi Cameron's Case the Designer theme for #GDP016 I used the following elements: the Shaker Card, Portrait style with centre sentiment & Blues with Whisper White - I changed up Gold to Silver and a little Dazzling Diamonds for extra Bling! I double punched the balloons to make the frame for my 3 mini shaker balloons, I had a mini disaster when I forgot to put the window sheet in my frame; lets just say my craft area has a definite glitter to it now! The sentiment is from the Party Wishes stamp set, and the Balloon celebration (Stamps and punch) Bundle  are launched on January 5th in the 2016 Occasions catalogue. I hope you have inspired you with my project; I would love to update you when I create a post! If you would like to receive an email from me when I do  Click Here . Y ...

How better to celebrate than with Champagne & Chocolate I made these items for 2 very special friends for their Birthdays recently, you may be thinking I have seen these before - you are right I posted them separately as I created them, but it was always the intention to gift them together, click on the following if you wish to see the original Bottle Tag or Treat Box posts You can easily change this design to create a special Thank You gift for your New Years Host by leaving off the Happy Birthday sentiment.  If you are wondering what is inside the Treat box, look below: I designed the box to specially cater for 4 Ferrero Rocher's The Stamp set and DSP are available from the 2016 Occasions Catalogue from January 5th.  I would love to update you when I create a post!

It's getting closer to the end of the year, it's time to celebrate!  I have used the new Balloon Bouquet Punch and Balloon Celebration Stamp set for my project. The Designer Series Paper is called It's My Party Birthday; these brand new products will be available from the 5th of January in Australia.   All these just fit perfectly with the Global Design Theme this week This DSP is fantastic, so vibrant and "happy". As with all Stampin Up DSP it co-ordinates perfectly with a variety of cardstock. I have used Mint Macroon is the base for the first tag, and punched the balloons Melon Mumbo and Crushed Curry. I have also used the "masking technique" when stamping "Champagne and eat Chocolate" The Bakers twine is also in the new Occasions Catalogue - I have fallen in love with it, I can be "bow challenged", but it is so forgiving, it's like my new best craft friend!  I had so muc...
