Yes ... More Party Hearty!

 The cupcake takes centre stage again ... I love this stamp ... so very now!

I used the colour selector tool to come up with this combination - would have never thought to put these colours together myself ... it's an easy tool to use ... click on the icon on the right hand side and have a play.

I've stamped the cupcake twice, once in So Saffron and then again in Pacific Point.  I've then cut the 'cake' part out of the So Saffron one and adhered it to the other impression with dimensionals - hey presto a 3D cake!  The candle has been stamped using the markers.

The sentiment stamp fits perfectly inside the large oval, and I've layered it with scallop oval and wide oval and teamed it up with some striped grosgrain Tangarine Tango ribbon.  

The papers are from the Hostess Level I selection ... hold a workshop or place an order for more than $300 to qualify.

Back with more in a day or two ... yes I do have more!

Stop Press: Don't forget the Catalogue Inventory Clearance! Two stamp sets are now SOLD OUT at the discounted price - 'Jumbo Outline Alphabet' and 'Just Riding'. The others are still available, but only for a limited time!

 

 

Anyone for Cake?

Oops I forgot it is still January and I'm not supposed to be eating cake!  This card is made with some Pink PIroutte, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White cardstocks.  Rose Red ink and ribbon and a bit of Dazzling Diamonds make this a very girlie card.  This time I've used the Party Hearty sentiment which fits well inside the Tag Window punch.

Hope you are enjoying the look through my Party Hearty samples - I thought it was going to be a challenge to make so many cards from one set but it wasn't - once I got started the ideas kept flowing.

Back soon with more.

  

 

 

Happy Birthday Tracy

I couldn't let today go by without wishing my very special and very lovely friend a very Happy Birthday ... unfortunately we are away on my holidays so we can't be together today but she knows we are thinking of her.  You'll have to wait to see her card - guess who forgot to bring it with her to post - oooppps!

So have a beautiful day my gorgeous friend, be home soon to celebrate in true Petrie / Sadler style.

Love Paul, Nikki, Olivia, Kieran and Max

I Love Kraft!

Yes it is true, I love both craft (obviously you knew that already didn't you) and Kraft the cardstock colour from Stampin' Up! (once described by my good friend as being cardboard colour!).

So today's offering is another with the Celebrate You stamp from Party Hearty - just love that the scallop circle fits so well within the letters ... great thinking SU!  

And yes ... there is a bit of Christmas here too, with Kraft, Real Red and Chocolate Chip I've also used a piece of the designer series paper from the I Wish scrapbooking kit .... a spare bit left over from Christmas projects that is easily converted into a birthday card.  Finished with sponging, a Fusion Flower and silver brad - another quick and easy sample to inspire you.

Just noticed that there appears to be a 'splodge' on the ribbon - that isn't there in real life but as I am in sunny Queensland just now I can't re-do the photo for you - so my apologies - it looks better in real life ... honest!

 

 

A Card To Celebrate 100 Posts!

Yes it is true ... this is the 100th post on the InkyArt blog - I can hardly believe it!  I hope that you find something inspirational from my ramblings and creations - I really love sharing them with you.

I found this line of bunting somewhere on the internet ages and ages ago and the idea just stuck in my head.  So if you are the creator can you let me know so that I can credit you here please.

Showcasing both the marker pens and Stamp-a-ma-jig - I've coloured the party hats with markers and trimmed around them ... loosing the stars.  The poles are the candle stamp, again using the markers I've just coloured in the candle part and left off the flame ... using a Stamp-a-ma-gig I have stamped it onto the white cardstock.  Linen thread has been used for the string and then I attached the little flags with Dimensionals.

Finished off with brads at the top of the poles and three cup cakes - again coloured in with markers this was a lovely card to make.  

 

 

Happy Birthday Chris

A bit of Just Jawing for my brother's birthday today.  Wasn't sure about this set until I saw Mirriam Thomas' scrapbooking page - it's very versatile ... the stamp has hearts for eyes which is great for a female page or card and I've covered them up with 3/4" punch circles and some googly eyes to transform it into a male card.

So Chris, I hope you love your card and are having a great day - one more year left before you join the big 40 club - enjoy it!  Oh and I'm back to being only three years older than you now (got to love brothers reminding you just how much older you are :o))

Happy Birthday Chris

Love Nikki, Paul, Olivia, Kieran and Max

Celebrate Twenty Ten with Chocolate!

Happy New Year to you and your family!

Okay so the title was a bit misleading but as this is the first day of twenty ten and traditionally a day for New Year Resolutions I thought it appropriate to celebrate with some chocolate ... yes the non-fattening and healthy kind ... Chocolate Chip cardstock!  I love the chocolate and pink combination.  

The patterned paper is a Hostess Level I freebie - how do you qualify for one of these?  Either have a workshop in your own home or place an order with me for $300 or more and you get to choose any of the Hostess Level I sets shown here.  And if you book a workshop during Sale-a-Bration you also qualify for a free stamp set!  Sale-a-Bration starts at the end of January and I am taking bookings now for workshops - call me if you'd like to hold one.

The stamp set is Party Hearty and I used some Chocolate Chip taffeta ribbon and some little brads to finish it off.

I've decided that twenty ten has a nice ring to it, and should be a time to celebrate for each and every one of us ... so take some time out to create something that inspires you to celebrate.
