Sale-a-bration Vintage gifts

These were some of the free gifts my guests received on Friday night at my Sale-a-bration & Summer Mini mystery hostess party.  It was a great night and I’ll show you some more things we made and my other gift over the coming days.

This is such a cute idea and it was inspired by my upline, Joanna Wassens, here. 

I’ve used the colours Pacific Point, Regal Rose and Pink Pirouette.  The Regal Rose paper is the DSP available only to hostesses as a Level 1 hostess gift.  I stamped the frame and sentiment from the Sale-a-bration stamp set, Vintage Labels.

And yummy – a Fredo inside!

My Uncles’ 60th birthday cards

My Uncles turned 60 on the weekend.  They’re identical twins, so I made their cards similiar, but different!

This one I based on the Parisian Breeze DSP (retired).  The colours I’ve used are Chocolate Chip, Sahara Sand, Baja Breeze and Whisper White.

And this one I based on the Outlaw DSP (retired).  The colours I’ve used are Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel, Sage Shadow and Very Vanilla.

On both cards I’ve stamped the “Happy Birthday” and frame around the number 60 from the Sale-a-bration stamp set, Vintage Labels.  The “60″ is from Best Friends Numbers (retired) and the beer mug is from Cheers to You.  I finished off each card with a jumbo eyelet and linen thread.

Lovely as a Tree & Funky Forest scrapbook layout

Wow, it’s nearly the end of January!  Hard to believe it.  Anyway, this is another of the layouts I made for my step-Nan’s 90th album.

This was her house as a child in Dulwich Hill.  I kept this simple, simple colours – Kiwi Kiss and Pink Pirouette, and simple trees with the stamp set  Lovely as a Tree and standard wheel Funky Forest.  There is also a strip from the Simply Scrappin’ Sweet Nothings kit along each border of each page.  Too easy!

Sale-a-bration & Summer Mini Invitation

I have my Sale-a-bration & Summer Mini Mystery Party on Friday 5 February 2010.  This is the invite I posted out to friends and customers.  I really loved the colour combo – Elegant Eggplant, Riding Hood Red, Very Vanilla and Summer Sun.

The stamp set I used was Hello Again – very versatile!

Small Friendly Words photo album

And this was the present I made for my great-Aunt’s 70th birthday.  Of course, the “m” is for her Christian name

The cover and back of the album are Baja Breeze textured paper.  Inside there are 5 sheets of  Whisper White card stock, which I stamped for a scrapbook effect.  I thought 5 sheets good because that meant there was space for 10 photos, perfect for photos from our night out.  I’ve bound it together using the Crop-a-dile and Jumbo Pewter eyelets.

The Designer Series Paper I’ve used is Regal Rose from the Hostess Patterns Pack II.  The cover DSP is layered on Pink Pirouette card stock. 

The ‘m’ is from Sticky Cut Letters and is covered with Fine Supernova glitter.  And the jumbo wheel is Friendly Words stamped in Baja Breeze.

The flowers are from the Pretties Kit, Flower Fusion and Flower Fusion Too, with a pearl from the Pretties Kit in the centre.

I’ll put a small tutorial with measurements in my next newsletter, so if you’d like to make an album like this, join up for my newsletter (on the sidebar).
