I Can't Stop Ticking-The-Tock...

Kia ora koutou

....Time!  Ever get that feeling; there's not enough time in the day to do all the things need doing?  Even after prioritising and planning by the minute...  I was told some good advice - "One thing at a time", so when ever I start to panic about things piling up around me I say to myself, "one thing at a time, relax, is it that important?"  

These past couple of weeks have been using up every grain of sand in the hour glass, sheeeshh - it has been challenging, but if you didn't know something about me already, that is; I love challenges :)

Monday Card Class 

Pretty Pop-up

This lovely pop-up card folds flat so that you can pop it in the post :)  I followed a very good tutorial:  Dawn's Pop-up Card
I used Liquid Pearls and Kindyglitz in the centers of the flowers - beautiful way to make them 'pop'.


Card Candy

For those of you unfamiliar with the term 'card candy' it is a delectable, cool name for - card toppers/card embellishments...you supply the base card and attach the card candy to the front, voile! a beautiful card.  I was introduced to this fantastic idea through my wonderful, creative Australian friends - Paper Angels.  Have you ever needed a card that was ready to go for any occassion?  Card candy is the solution!!! :)







Stencils and Primary Elements


 
OMG - glimmer mist, stencils, silver embossing, choice die-cut shapes and washi tape combined = funtastic, cool, 'pretty grunge' love this style!

Spritz, Splotch, Smoosh - Stencil Magic

What a ball! I had such a blast creating these cards, I hope the ladies had fun making them :)


A Little Thankyou

 
I am forever grateful to my Stampin' Up! customer's - thank you.  Loving Stampin' Up!'s washi tape and In Colours - Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush, so scrumpdillyumptious.


....Whats coming up 

Well, as usual I have put my hand up, bitten off a bit more than I can chew, oh well.  So I have a few deadlines to meet - marketing assignment due, design a swap card (design a card then make 10 kits of the card to teach and swap with fellow colleagues, gahhhhh), design alternating scrapbook layouts and cards for a competition I have entered called ABC Summer Crop 2013 (held by My Sketch World) each project represents the letter of the alphabet, design and create cards for my monday class, make a farewell card...very challenging!  Pics will be up soon - watch this space :)

Thank you for visiting my post, please come by again :) 

P.S.  - If you're wondering what the heck the post title is?  It is a line from one of my favourite songs of Kylie  Minogue's - Giving You Up

...Don't you just love a surprise?  I do :)  'Surprise' was the inspiration for this weeks Monday Card Class - 'Cards with a surprise'.



Open the card - Ta-dah!....
....A lovely bunch of flowers :)

I learnt how to make the inside of this card from a top 25 Demonstrator and she is also the lovely leading lady of Paper Angels - Liz Collett.  I can't remember who she learnt the technique from.  It is definitely the type of card that blows you away when you open it, just wonderful! And, the Monday Card Class ladies thought so too.

...The Paper Peacock Friday Challenge 

I love a surprise but I really love a challenge...Linda challenged us (loyal Friday cropper's) to make a card, it could be for any occasion, the cards will be judged by her husband Martin - the winning card will win a Kaisercraft Paper Pack.  I designed a card that would appeal to Martin (hopefully - fingers crossed), had a lot of fun creating this card, if it's not chosen - it's still a winner in my eyes :)
