Stamps Ahead

I was asked to create a card for lady celebrating her 80th birthday.  I was told that chrysanthemum was her favourite flower and her birthday was in November. Here is the card and box envelope I have created: As can be seen in the photo below, there are many layers to the main flower. Interestingly, my google search revealed that the chrysanthemum is the birth flower for November.  I never knew that! This card uses supplies from a many sources: Kaszazz - Leaves embossing folder, papers, pearls and envelope punch board. Stamp and die from Altenew - Build -a-flower: Chrysanthemum Ranger Distress Inks: Spun Sugar, Tattered Rose, Victorian Velvet and Aged Mahogany for flower and Bundled Sage, Peeled Paint and Forest Moss for the leaves.   Spun Sugar and Bundled Sage were also 'smooched' onto background and box card. Also available from Kaszazz. Stampin' Up - Number of years stamps and die (retired) Thank you for looking, Margaret. Fun quote: "Why don'...

I recently made 2 layouts for my sister using Kaisercraft Bombay Sunset papers and embellishments. The "Happy" embellishment is a Kaszazz die cut that I have cut in black and pink and then I applied glossy accents to it.  I love the shadow effect.  Here is a close up. I have left both layouts rather simple as the colour is the 'star'.   My sister just needs to add photographs. Thank you for looking.

This past weekend Kaszazz introduced 2019-2020 annual catalogue. In my previous post I shared with you my cards that were published in the catalogue. Our Kaszazz group had a retreat on the weekend and there was a challenge to create a project using one or more of the specialised papers that we have - tissue paper, acetate, glimmer paper and watercolour paper.  Here is my entry: The photo of the sunset was taken at Ettalong Beach on 12 June this year and I had it printed and sitting on my shelf since then just looking at that marvelous sky. All products used are by Kaszazz. After playing and trying out several ideas, I finally looked at my photo once again and thought I could do a layout and card using my photo for inspiration. I used tissue paper that was scrunched and then straightened out. I then applied to white cardstock with multi-medium gel.  After allowing this to dry I applied Ranger Distress Inks Black Soot, Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade and Stormy Sky.  ...

I am excited! Why? I have had a set of  3 cards accepted into new 2019-2020 Kaszazz catalogue just released. Here they are, To say I am chuffed would be an understatement! I submitted them with instructions back in May. They use papers and stamps from Kaszazz Christmas Morning collection. The images have been embossed in gold and sequins added for extra bling. Thank you for looking and sharing my excitement, Margaret
