Circus Party Progress

Ok so its not a whole lot of progress but its a little!

Here are the Cupcake Toppers coloured in.

As in my last post on soon to be Miss 1's birthday, the stamp set used is the now retired Under The Big Top and was punched out using the 1-3/4" Circle Punch. I coloured all the characters in with the Stampin' Up Watercolour Pencils (but didnt water colour them, just coloured them in). I have since mounted them on some red 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punches, but I wont do a whole new blog post just about mounting them haha. 

I still have a fair bit to do for her party and its now only 3 weeks away!! Eeeek!!! I better pull my finger out and get working! So much to do, so little time!

This afternoon I am holding my first paid Class! We are making 2 Christmas Cards and 2 Bottle Tags! Stay tuned and Ill post these over the few days following the class!

Until next time,

2012-2014 In Colour Team Swaps

As the title suggests, my team decided that the 2012-2014 In-Colours would be a great theme for our October Swaps! 

I am just in love with my 5 brand new colours, and their co-ordinating Stitched Satin ribbon! And even better is every $60 order placed this month gets you a spool of that ribbon! Spend $120 (before p&h) and get 2 free spools of Stitched Satin Ribbon! Spend $300 (before p&h) and get all 5 spools of In Colour Stitched Satin Ribbon FOR FREE!!!! I think this is a FANTASTIC special from Stampin' Up! At the bottom of my email will be my email address, if you would like to take advantage of this special offer, just send me an email and Ill pop your order in for you!

OK, so here is my October Swap!

I used the Block E from the Clear-Mount Blocks,  and applied the Summer Starfruit Classic Stampin' Pad Ink directly to the block (no stamp mounted) and stamped it onto Whisper White Cardstock.  I then silhouetted Just Believe onto it in StazOn Black Ink as well as the Thank you sentiment from the Delightful Dozen Set.  I mounted the cut out Acrylic Block Print and rounded the corners with the 3/16" Corner Punch. The ribbon is Gumball Green Stitched Satin Ribbon, which has just been knotted off to the opposite side to the sentiment to balance the card out. All of this has been mounted on Midnight Muse Card Stock to give a border and that was then 3D mounted onto Naturals White Card Stock which has been stamped with the Woodgrain Background Stamp in Soft Suede Classic Stampin' Pad Ink.  

A nice simple card that is quite effective and gender neutral for a Thank You Card, or with a quick change of the sentiment would make a beautiful Get Well Card or Sympathy Card. 

To order any of the products used on my October In Colour Swap Card or to take advantage of the FREE Spool of Stitched Satin Ribbon (as seen on my Card Swap) you can email me at kirraleighbrooks@gmail.com or phone me on 0402 906 605.

Until Next Time

Spring Time!

As we all know September always means Spring in our beautiful Country. So to celebrate Spring my Stampin' Up! Team decided to make our Team Swaps Spring Themed! This could be interrupted in any way, whether it ment colours, stamp sets or paper, so long as it was 'Spring' to us it counted!

Here is my Swaps :) 

Stampin' Up Supplies used are as follows - Betsy's Blossoms Stamp Set, 2012-2014 In Colours Classic Stampin' Pads (Raspberry Ripple, Midnight Muse, Summer Starfruit, Primrose Petals, and Gumball Green), Modern Label Punch, and Whisper White Card Stock.

When I receive my Swap back from my team member I'll be sure to feature it! I've had a sneak peek and its GORGEOUS! And uses a set in a completely different way to what it was intended to be used as!

All of these products can be ordered by simply dropping me a line on 0402 906 605 or by emailing me at kirraleighbrooks@gmail.com

Making use of Retired Products

I'm a bit of a hoarder, I hate using my pretty papers, so I have so many unopened Retired packs of Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper. As we may be shifting house in the near future, I figured I should really start using my papers and stop keeping them for a rainy day.

Here is a card I CASEd from here. 

The Stampin' Up! Supplies used are - Fresh Vintage Stamp Set (Retired), Teeny Tiny Sentiments Stamp Set, Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper (Retired), Lucky Limeade Bakers Twine, Big Shot, Beautiful Wings Embosslit, Pearl Basic Jewels, Decorative Label Punch, 1 1/4" Square Punch, Lucky Limeade Classic Stampin' Pad and Card Stock (Whisper White and Lucky Limeade).

All of these items (except the retired paper and stamp set) can be purchased through me from Stampin' Up! Contact me today if you would like to place an order at kirraleighbrooks@gmail.com.

Until next time

Calling All Monsters!

A few weeks back you might remember a post about me sewing something special for my Godson's 2nd birthday?? Well his party was last Saturday so now I can FINALLY reveal his special gift!

A MONSTER!!! His Mummy and Daddy call him a Little Monster so they found it fitting to have a Monster Party for him! So Aunty Kirra decided a Monster Teddy would be the perfect present for a Little Monster :D

I kinda tought it looks like a frog, and one of the Birthday Boy's Cousin's said when he opened it "Wow! Froggy!" haha. So I guess it does look like a frog, but it's meant to be a Monster :P

And here is the special card I made for him :) 

Isn't the Monster on the front groovy! I used the following Stampin' Up! Punches to create him - Small Heart, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, 2 1/2" (6.4cm) Circle, 3/4" (1.9cm) Circle and 1 3/4" (4.4cm) Circle. As well as the Wacky Wishes Hostess Stamp Set. 

All of these Punches can be purchased through me, if you would like to place an order, you can contact me at kirraleighbrooks@gmail.com or on 0402 906 605.

Let me know you popped in!

Until next time,
Keep Smiling
