I wanted to share this new concept with you. It's an idea I came up with that I'm calling "Embedded Frames."
I used the Tree builder punch from Stampin' Up! to cut out some "grass" for my stamped puppy and kittens to sit on.
In order to achieve this effect, I turned the tree builder pieces upside down, then passed them through the Big Shot with the stitched frames to embed the grass into the background.
Next I sponged some sky into the background and placed my kittens and puppy onto the grass, popping them up on dimensionals.
I stamped and punched the cloud using the tree builder punch, as you can see from these close up shots.
I switched out the colours for moody browns and greys for the tangled kitty.
These are the copic colours I used, and I added some sparkly details with the stardust gelly roll pen. The light greys helped these little darlings pop right off the page.
I love the way the grass was completely embedded within the frame. I was really pleased with the result, and will use this idea again, as it turned out so well. A simple top-fold card base in whisper white is all that is needed to finish your card.
Have a marvellously creative day, and don't forget to check out my ETSY store for more ideas.
Welcome back to "Sneak Peek Week," a whole week of peeks into the new stampin; Up! annual catalog for 2018-2019. Here are the first 2 cards I have CASED from inside the catty! Stay tuned for more !

Planner Hacks? Who else loves watching these kind of videos? I like seeing what people do with their craft in interesting and unusual ways, so I am busy making a whole series on planners!
A side benefit of this is that I am actually REALLY ORGANISED these days, and focusing more on planning out my week and month, and I seem to get more hours in the day! Go figure!
In a world where life is speeding up and time is passing at an accelerated rate, it's good to know we can use our time productively, and enjoy life more.
Have a wonderfully creative day, and I hope you enjoy my video series.

I love documenting memories in a Travellers Sized Notebook. I made traditional 12" x 12" albums for over 20 years, and much as I love my old albums, they are very difficult to store on a shelf, as most bookshelves are neither tall enough nor deep enough to house them.
I like to print on my home printer, and we all know the cost of ink refills! One of the great things about the smaller sized canvas of a Travellers Notebook is that you can put much smaller photos into your layout and still feel that the photo commands attention, rather than being swallowed up in a plethora of "similar" shots (yes, I know it's hard to choose just one shot when you have snapped dozens of photos of that birthday event, or that holiday ) in order to fill the double page spread of a 12" album.
However, what I am finding now is that I want to document much more regularly, rather than JUST birthdays and holidays, and documenting daily life is really important to me as a way of keeping a visual diary of my life as a newlywed.
Paul and I are crafting a life together, and remembering all the simple rituals and daily routines is turning out to be fun!
Life is a matter of moments.
I hope you enjoy this process video, and if you haven't already subscribed to my Youtube Channel, please consider doing so, and if you have a friend or two who you think may enjoy my tutorials please share the video!
Watch Carrie explain the benefits. After having used a Misti for so long, I am THRILLED to see a better stamping tool. It will be well-priced, too, so I am lining up to buy one for myself.

I spent a fun day at Penrith Panthers Paper Crafts Festival today. The Stampin' Up! team did an amazing job and were definitely the most outstanding display as you can see from the photos.
I caught up with my friend Cherryn and her friend Veronica for lunch and we had a great chat about all things paper! The crafting bug is something that provides a lot of joy for me, and I love sharing my crafting passion with others.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderfully creative day.
Here are 2 cards I put together using different techniques. I made the first card on Stampin' Up! Shimmery white paper, which I had lightly spritzed with water and matted it to a DSP background
I stamped a separate piece of card stock with the sentiment and popped it up on dimensionals, then added 3 small rhinestones that I had coloured with Copic markers and left to dry.
For the second card I used a vellum overlay, after stamping the image as a background . I white embossed the vellum, then added a Tempting Turquoise piece of card underneath so the greeting would show through. I attached the vellum to the top of the card using Washi Tape and I mounted it all onto a thick white card stock base. I fussy cut another bloom I had stamped and lightly spritzed and adhered it to the vellum as the focal image. I love how the background peeks through!
I hope you enjoyed today's project. Have a great weekend.
