Speaking of Love this card is just perfect for Valentines day for your one true love..

(He evens likes this one what a miracle)

I choose to use my favourtie red ' Cheery Cobler' and of course whisper white.  I have stamped the image from the vintage voges stamp set in Whisper white ink on the red card and then I played with my dies and came up with the beautiful embossed and stamped flower.  This flower is sitting on top of a window sheet to give the impression that its floating. The outside border is embossed with the polka dot die.  I hope you like it and if I don't get to say it on the 14th FEB

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE

FOREVER YOUNG #2

I absolutely love creating new cards with NEW stamp sets.  Its like the worlds my oyster...

The main image used in this card is yet another one out of the New Set 'Forever Young'.  Again I have used my Versamaek and Black embossing powder to really bring to life the image(it also helps to keep the stamp clean instead of using black ink)

I have also had fun with the Scallop Circle Die on the Big Shot.  This card was very quick and easy to make.  The new In Colours used have added a fun bright summery feel to the card.  Hope you enjoy replicating this card.

Hope you have all got your hands on one of our New Idea Book & Catalogue's.  What do you think??

I just love it.  There are so many new ideas and new products to browse over.  I must have been through the book 100 times all ready.

One of the new sets is 'Forever Young' (I wish we were).  This set has many different possibilites.  For this card I have chosen an Antique feel/theme.  I wanted my card to look like a picture portrait.  So I made the front of the card stick out while the silouette of the the girl is set in the background.  Hope that makes sense.  The Beautiful matching Desiner Series Paper just finishes the look I was after.

It's funny how well black can go with almost any colour.  Im am really pleased with how well these cards turned out.  The same layout for both but all I have done is switched the colours round.

Cased Scrapbook Layout

This scrapbook page was cased from the very alented Patrice Halliday-Larsen. A couple of months back attended one of Patrice's class's and had a huge amount of fun adapting her layout to achieve the above.  It was a challenge for me as normally I only create cards.  So I did surprise myself and now guess what I am hooked on scrapbooking.  Isn't it funny how our talents keep changing.

Im Back in Action

Hi to all my followers.  Yes I am back in action well sort off.  We are currently in the middle of Calving here on the farm and so far we only have approx 1/3rd of the herd in.  That means lots and lots more calves for me to rear and feed. As if i am not allready exhausted enough.  But I have had a chance at night to get back creating.  So ladies watch this space to see some of my new creations as well as some really cool cased creations.  Take Care Juliette

Motorbike No2

Morning Peeps...

For some very weird reason Im up and at em this morning.  The above card is what I have just finished teaching to my class's in Pirongia.  The Ladies ust loved it, the colours are bright and I was able to teach a new technique/idea.  At our local Regional Training in Hamilton the Lovely Emma showed us how to recycle an aluminium can.  Once the can is open we were shown how the BigShot can cut and Emboss the tin.

This photo shows you a close up of the tin embossed and put behind the motobike image.  I used the Lattice Embossing Folder to create the pattern on the tin and then i cut the tin to the size that I required.  Isn't this just a neat effect.  I am 100% sure that I will be using products such as tin on many more of my fantastic creations.

See you soon

Its Motorbike Time

This Stamp was an absolute must for me when I saw it in our New Autumn/Winter Mini Catalogue.  So far I have created 4 different cards using the Motobike as my main focus.  In this card I have embossed the Motobike twice and then cut the cardstock in half then I have matched the two pieces up together like a jigsaw to get the above effect. I have also cut out one black and one white topnote from the bigshot and cut them in half and embossed using the lattice embossing folder on one half of each colour.  The Jumbo Eyelets and the Striped Grossgrain Ribbon have just tied the whole card together nicely don't you think???

Stay tuned to see some more of my Masculine Motorbike Cards

Catch you later

NB:  The Lattice Embossing Folder has been carried over from the Summer Mini and will continue to be avaliable to purchase.

Tri-Fold Card

Isn't she just beautiful!!!!!

I designed up this Tri Fold Card for a group of Local Ladies that I spoke to in late March.  As I thought they just loved it.  Using Baga Breeze and Soft Suede Card stock along with Elegant Soiree DSP made such a soft but Elegant combination.  Of course I had to use one of my all time favourtie Stamp sets Vintage Vogue.

If you are interseted in receiving the instructions please send me a message of email me at cowshotz@clear.net.nz

NEW Stamp Set - SEW SUITE

Sooo What do you think??

Its Launched today the New Autumn/Winter Mini send me a message if you havn't received one today.  My Ladies who are attending the Hamilton Extravaganza will receive your copy in the bag on your tables.

The Card above is using 3 of our new products:

- Sew Suite Stamp Set

- Sweet Stitches Designer Series Paper

On the card above you will see that I have stamped on fabric.  To do this I used the Stazon Black Ink on my stamp and then stamed directly onto the fabric.  Its quite nice to use other products on our cards occasionaly to see another dimension. (ie Fabric, tin, wood, metal etc)

Hope you like it...
