'Blog War' Day 1 - Chalks & Weekly Comment Winner

Hi Everyone, this weeks (PoW) Product of the week is Chalks. I just love my Basic Brights Chalk Set, it is one of the first products I bought as a customer many years ago & I am still using it. They last for eva!!! Now as a Consultant, only a couple of months ago bought the Jewel Tones Pearlescent Chalk Set,  I will be using this set on my creations this week.

Each Chalking Set, comes in a sturdy tin case that will help protect your chalks from damage! Each set, (there are 5 colour combo's to choose from) come with 30 magnificent chalks, an applicator tool & reusable pom poms which make them fun & so easy to work with!

Today I created a card, stamping the 1784LH Leaf around the edge of the cards with Perfect Medium. Re-inking each time. With a cotton ball I shaded over each leaf in an Autum Colour from the Pearlescent Chalk Set. The shimmer from these chalks look stunning, it doesn't show up well on the photo! I then stamped in Dark Brown & Warm Green Fluid Chalk the Bird, Branch & Heart from the Love & Cherish (8) stamp set & the leaves across the bottom right corner, from the Treasured Memories (7) stamp set. "Just because" is from Mini Messages Endearments (9) stamp Set. I tied a small bow with a piece of Rust Twill & frayed the ends on purpose. Adhered it to the card with Glossy Accents.

Thankyou to all who have left comments on my Blog or have e-mailed me! It is so nice to have everyone appreciate & be inspired by my creations. This is only my 4th month since setting up my blog & I am really enjoying it!!

This weeks comment winner is .............. MELISSA

Please e-mail me your postal details & my creations from last week will be on their way to you.

Cheers, Tina

'Blog War' Day 5 - Paper Frenzy

SCRAPBOOKING - ALL BOY!

This is a great range for all the boys in your life! Today I used the papers from this range, cut out a skateboarder image & mounted it to the front of the card. I used the square punch & the Cute Letter Stamp Set (65). I used Admiral Bazzill measuring 10" x 5", to create a 5" x 5" card. You can view all the All Boy! Range on page 33 of the Kaszazz Catalogue & Project Book.

Wishing all the Mums who visit my blog, a wonderful & special Mothers Day on Sunday.

ENJOY YOUR DAY!!

Cheers, Tina

'Blog War' Day 4 - Paper Frenzy

 

Today I have made the card with the Kaszazz Enchanted Scrapbooking Range. I have just realised, I  have made 3 cards this week with flowers & a baby card. I must sub-consciously have Mothers Day on my mind, it's just around the corner. Tomorrow I will try to think & create something without flowers.

The leaf I have stamped is the outline brushed leaf from the 2-Step  Stamps. I stamped with Prussian Blue Fluid Chalk, cut out (3) & adhered to card. Punched the whale & medium circles to create the flowers. I distressed the edges of the circles with an emery board & scissors. I used the Silent Setter to add a black eyelet to the centre of each flower. Added 'for someone special' from the Endearments Mini Messages (9), in black.

Cheers, Tina

'Blog War' Day 3 - Paper Frenzy

Today I have made a Baby Congratulations Card with a mosaic technique I learnt at our Creative Getaway Camp 2008. Deb Hale (Kaszazz Consultant) ran a fantastic workshop, which included a card made with this technique. It is so easy & very effective.

I folded a piece of Pink card to form a C6 portrait card, from the Pastel Card Pack. I then trimmed and adhered a piece of white cardstock. Cut a piece of double sided sticky paper, removed one side of the sticky paper & adhered it to the white cardstock. Once adhered to the cardstock, I removed the other side of the sticky paper. I then cut small pieces of Pink Scatter from the Kaszazz Sentiments Scrapbooking Range. This is the most time consuming part of making the card, but so easy!!. Once the small pieces fill the area of the sticky paper, I then filled the gaps with Rainbow Glitter. Placed a small amount of glitter on the area & rubbed my finger over to enable the glitter to adhere to the sticky paper. I tapped any excess glitter off the card. I mounted the Pram, from the Sentiments Baby SB Cut Outs sheet & stamped Congratualtions from the Endearments Mini Messages Set (9), with black onto white & mounted onto Wisteria Bazzill.

Below are the cards I created at our Creative Getaway 2008.

Cheers, Tina

 

 

'Blog War' Day 2 - Paper Frenzy

Today I have used our "Castaway" Scrapbooking Papers. I have covered the front of an Oatmeal Card with trimmed pieces of Frangipani/Crackle & Frangipani/Oceana SB Papers. I have stuck a saying from the Travel Vellum onto a piece of Bahama Bazzill with vellum tape. Cut out a frangipani, adhered a rhinestone & mounted onto the card. I then distressed around the edge of the card with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

The Castaway Range of Scrapbooking Papers are perfect papers for all your holiday photo's. Check out whole Castaway Range, including accessories, on page 28 of the Kaszazz Catalogue & Project Book.

Cheers, Tina

What FUN my son had, he is (10) & just loved pressing a few of his toys into the Magic Stamp, creating some wonderful moulds & images. A great activity for the school holidays & it has been pouring with rain here, kept him busy inside all day.

The Magic Stamp comes in a pack of eight for $15.95. You could try molding surface patterns from crumpled up paper, rice grains, bark, shells, wood, jewellery, buttons, fabric - even an old pair of denim jeans.

Check out the (2H) Workshop link to the right of screen. Workshop 2H091 Magic Stamp Jeans 12 x 12 Layout, created by Sonya Edwards, uses the Magic Stamp molded by a pair of denim jeans.

'Blog War' Day 3 - Magic Stamp

Today my 10 year old son (Tyler) become involved with the Magic Stamp. It's a great product for children to use, he just loved it. He helped me create a couple more kids birthday cards I will post tomorrow.

Tyler coiled a piece of craft wire (Non - Kaszazz) & molded it onto the Magic Stamp. We used this to create the base colour on the right hand side of the card, we used the Peach Pastel Fluid Chalk ink pad. I used the Long Stem Daisies with the Magic Stamp, stamped it, cut out & mounted onto a piece of Pinecone SB Bazzill over Black, Orange Stitch & White Dots ribbon. I stamped the Long Stem Daisies with the Magic Stamp & across the top of the card with Blush Rose Fluid Chalk. Finished by adding a little Ice Stickles to the daisies & stamped the words in Chestnut Roan Fluid Chalk.

Cheers, Tina

'Blog War' Day 2 - Magic Stamp

Today I have used both of the Brushed Roses from the Kaszazz 2-Step Stamp  Range, with the Magic Stamp. I inked up the Magic Stamp with Faded Jeans Distress Ink pad, then stamped over the front of a white card. I stamped (4 ) 2-Step Roses across another piece of white card, using Iced Blue Fluid Chalk & Faded Jeans Distress ink. Trimmed to size & adhered to a piece of Glitz Bazzill Bling & then adhered to front of the card. Finished with "Get Well Soon" from the Mini Messages Stamp Set (9), a piece of White Swirl ribbon & the heart charm from the Girl Things Charms. The charms are a great new product, which can be found on the back page of the March 09 new product flier.

'Blog War' Day 1 - Magic Stamp

The product of the week for the Blog War is the "Magic Stamp". With this mouldable foam stamp you can mould & re-mould an endless variety of textures & objects onto your craft projects. Mould a variety of designs in 4 easy steps.

Step 1 - Heat Magic Stamp with an Embossing Heat Tool for about 30 seconds.

Step 2 - Press heated Magic Stamp against any cool, textured or dimensional surface. Hold down for 15 - 20 seconds.

Step 3 - Ink with any water based ink pad or paint.

Step 4 - Moulded image is very durable, but will 'melt away' when reheated - ready for your next surface design!

You can find more information about the ColorBox Magic Stamp, ColorBox Mouldable Stylus Tips & ColorBox Stylus Moulding Mats between page 83 - 85 of the Kaszazz Catalogue & Project Book.

Today I used the Large Frangapani Outline Stamp with the Magic Stamp. I inked it up with Maroon Fluid Chalk. Stamped, re-inking after each stamp down the centre of a piece of Madero Beach cardstock, from the Neutrals Card Pack. Other products I used include, polka-dot brad, small retro flower punch, pink pastel fluid chalk, greeting set stamps (4), SB Bazzill Juneberry. I finished by distressing the edges with the Maroon Fluid Chalk. I have also used a STAMP IT Stamp in black. Sorry this stamp is no longer available through Kaszazz, but I love it!! Couldn't resist.

Cheers, Tina
