Make Waves—Scrapbooking

Make Waves Cardmaking Stamp + Thin Cuts

I made all the pages using the Making Wave Workshop Your Way kit but my photos aren't as nice as the Corporate ones. Only difference was with the left was that I didn't use the graduated paper because most of its hidden and I love it so I saved it for another project. 

I made a whole heap of cards for my Online Card Club using the leftover Making waves paper which is exclusive to those people who are registered to receive that so I can't show you those!!

Next I made my daughters birthday invitations using the Make Waves—Scrapbooking stamp set. I LOVE this Mermaid!! My daughter is having a sleepover party and we decided the mermaid looked like she was tired with her eyes shut so all we needed was a pillow. My sister hand-drew the pillows and wrote after the "You're invited to a Party" stamp set (which is a consultant only stamp set) she wrote "A sleepover party!" to match that stamp set. She also coloured in the mermaids all differently. 

She then stamped the bubbles in a few generations. 

After we had the bases - stamped and coloured in 3.75 x 5 inches white daisy. Using ShinHan markers. 

I cut the Gold Glitter Paper (currently on SPECIAL in Feb), 

To save my glitter paper, I cut the middle out of it - so I can save it up and use later. 

I used my White Cards & Envelopes Value Pack and Tombow® Permanent Adhesive to stick it all together and then Glue Dots® Mini Dots to adhere the mermaids bit to the glitter.

 Remember this great  Workshops Your Way® Make Waves Scrapbooking Kit is only available while the current Seasonal Expression catalogue is running (Jan 2018-April 2018) from my website or from your Close to My Heart Consultant.

Sunny Thoughts S1802 Stamp of the Month Australasian Blog

Welcome to our Australasian Blog Hop. We have all been creating with the "Sunny Thoughts—February Stamp of the Month" Stamp set. If you have arrived here from Doreen Watkins then you are in the right place. If you landed here another way, please join in by following the link at the end of this post. Follow the links, check out all the amazing ideas and eventually you'll come right back here to where you started. 

Today I would like to share with you my project which features the Sunny Thoughts—February Stamp of the Month available exclusively throughout February 2018 for $27 or for just $7.50 when you spend $75. 

The first image that spoke to me was the "You are the Sunshine in my Pocket" and I wanted to make a Pocket with this stamp set. I decided I needed a Denim look paper, so I pulled out the Enchantment Fundamental Paper Packet with the sapphire A shaped triangle things. and I cut a square and then trimmed the bottom into a point (like a reverse banner). to make a pocket shape. I then matted it in White Daisy Cardstock. I used Sapphire Cardstock to matt the whole white daisy card with a small edge of white. 

I cut the circle with my Thin Cuts—Basic Circles and stamped the you are the Sunshine in my pocket in Sapphire Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad. I added it to the front with 3-D Foam Tape. I used a gold thin pen (like Metallics Markers) for the stitching and 2 white enamel dots (from the Grey Gems) for studs. Stuck it all together with Duck® Easy Stick™ Adhesive Pack.  

Apologies for my photos - I had to take the photos at night because I've been working late and had no time to take daylight photos. I really want to get myself a light box for photography so I can take photos at night or anytime of the day and have them look nice. 

Anyway...I hope you like them. 

Note: While I was making this card my sister started singing the song "I've got a pocketful of Sunshine" and its very catchy and we couldn't stop singing over and over "I've got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine!!"... (I had to put the video here too so you could all have it stuck in your heads too). Link to YouTube. 

The next card I made was using up scraps of Chelsea Gardens Paper Packet and the white scrap cut in a banner from the opposite of the piece I cut for the pocket card (easy and no waste!). I put my scraps of Chelsea Gardens to cover the whole base of the White Cards (Plus Envelopes) Value Pack (the grey is from the Basics Fundamental Paper Packet Paper) and then I stamped Thanks with Charcoal Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad and the stamped the flowers in Heather Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad. 

I also used the Heather to go around the edge of the banner too. Then adhered it with 

3-D Foam Tape, finishing it off with some Grey Gems.

Remember this great stamp set Sunny Thoughts—February Stamp of the Month is only available throughout February from my website or from your Close to My Heart Consultant.
