Chipboard Wall Decor and 2 Step Bird Punch

Hi! I'm back from time away....but recently I have been digging away in the craft studio and trying this and that.
Here is what I recently came up with....

I found some chipboard squares - about 6x6 inches. And I created these because I wanted a project for my 2 Step XL Bird Punch and these cute phrase stamps which are all quotes concerning women. Then I just went hary-kary with my supplies, and it was really what-ever fell into place!

Here's my first one in a bright yellow! It's got a new home with our Property Manager Marilyn's office wall!

Below you can really see the smooch in gold I sprayed on the keyhole plaque. The plaque sits on a supporting back, and for a mysterious effect - I stamped the words again so you can seem them peeking through the keyhole!

Now here is my pink version.

Same idea - just different decorations!

This one I used our Polka Dot Textured Impressions Folder, and rubbed white then Rose Red or Choc Chip over the raised surface (see around edges)....and I scrolled the greeting - that was fun!

Hope you try one yourself!

See ya later!

Gothic Birthday Card

Have a friend who appreciates the gothic sensibilities? Then dig into your creative spirit and look at the norm through a wonderful, rich and dark prism! I chose a designer paper with a fab colour set. Next why do butterflies when a moth will be better? Here Tim Holtz’s Funky Insects die set does the trick. To make it a tad interesting I placed a pocket inside and crafted a ATC which doubled as a coffee gift card holder. A second large tag holds my message. Well crafters, explore your options and enjoy!

Funky Insects Tim Holtz - first projects

Funky Insects Thinlits Dies (not including bee die shown upper left ) Tim Holtz's Funky Insects are a hoot to play with. I am just playing to discover the million-gazillion ways to colour each bug and not concerned with how to design projects featuring them yet. Here's a tall slimline card, an A2 card and an ATC that l've created so far. To get inspired, you only have to look at the amazing designers that contribute to Tim's Chapter releases such as this year's Chapter 2 release. To be honest, l was not bothered cutting so many parts for the different insects as l thought l might be....time flew by as l cut batches of the body 'base' and then spent most of my time inking, embossing, painting, etc the wings and body sections. There lies the fun!

Easter "Scallop Circle" Chick Card

Isn't this the cutest! The second I laid eyes on the card which inspired me - I was OMG ! So I had to do one! IT'S A EASY - QUICK 5 MIN. PROJECT! GREAT KIDS PROJECT! We made ours after having breakfast and in no time flat! Technique: You can see from the pictures that you must fold your cardstock at the 5-1/2 mark, and CUT the Scallop Circle LEAVING A SMALL PART OF THE FOLD OVERHANGING THE CIRCLE OUTLINE - that is how you make a card - and not 2 Scallop Circles. A small scallop punch is cut into wedges - those make up the wings. Punch your other parts, fold the square on the diagonal for its beak, then glue everything on. We highlighted the eyes and beak - voila! Basic Supplies: CARDSTOCK: 11x8 in. yellow, 1 in square orange scrap, black scrap; BIG SHOT XL BIGZ DIE: Scallop Circle; HAND PUNCHES: flower, scallop circle (any size), small circle punch; Other: 1" square orange cardstock, white gel pen, glue.
