Birthday Party Live – Project #4
Yesterday was my birthday, so I had to make sure the project done on my birthday was a special one. Neverending cards have been around for some time – they’re certainly nothing new BUT I have never tried to make one myself, so what better occasion?
I went for one of my favourite colours for the first one – Cherry Cobbler and teamed it up with the Regals 6″x6″ Designer Series Paper stack. This alone gave some nice texture / difference on the differing sections of the card. To decorate it, I used a multitude of dies available in my collection, stamping any sentiments or images with matching Cherry Cobbler ink.
The second one in the video below was made in exactly the same way, except this time I used Bermuda Bay card stock and Designer Series Paper. Now, I just have to overcome my addiction to making them then sitting there flipping them round and round and round again!
Keeps the children entertained too! Bonus…

Thank You Wrap
Birthday Party Live – Project #3
At this time of the year, my thoughts turn to Halloween, Bonfire Night, Autumn and Christmas gifts. With Covid-19 having such a large impact on 2020, I have been producing many thank you gifts to my workplace team members for their help and assistance during these unprecedented times.
With this in mind, this project is a great gift to pass on your thanks. The outer wrap encases a small wine bottle – this one being a rose wine – and gives the bottle a more personalised touch. I went for an autumnal theme using the Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the co-ordinating punch pack. The acorn punch and trinkets are just the cutest things and look gorgeous on the finished project.
To finish off the bottle and taper the wrap around the neck, I’ve used a piece of metallic ribbon from the Basketweave and Metallic ribbon combo pack – which is utterly gorgeous! Have a go at making one yourself!

InColor Notes Part 2
Birthday Party Live – Project #2
Yesterday evening, the second of my Birthday Party Live events took place over on my Facebook page – if you missed the video, you can view this here on my blog or over on my Youtube challenge. Thank you to those of you who watched and showed your support, it is much appreciated.
During my first live stream, we made 5 incolor notecards and I mentioned a box to house the notecards and their envelopes. Of the five colours to choose from, I went with Magenta Madness – as someone who doesn’t really like pink, this colour is amazing! To keep in with the theme of the cards, I decorated the front in the same design as the cards.
The notecards fit perfectly inside with their envelopes and make the perfect gift or craft fair item. With a switch of the sentiment, they could suit any occasion too!

InColor Notes Part 1
Birthday Party Live – Project #1
Yesterday evening, the first of my Birthday Party Live events took place over on my Facebook page – if you missed the video, you can view this here on my blog or over on my Youtube challenge. Thank you to those of you who watched and showed your support, it is much appreciated.
These incolor notecards came about from an idea my daughter had – a few weeks ago, I made a Penguin Winter Card using an ink technique, which she wanted to do again. However, with the small surface area that a notecard presents, she decided to use a single colour in a simple circle.
Together, we added a simple sentiment and finished them off with a resin dot. Keeping them simple and without using many resources.

Halloween Magic
This year’s Halloween paper is absolutely gorgeous and whilst Halloween is still almost two months away, I find myself using it again and again (you’ll see it make an appearance in my Birthday Party Live Week). For this project, I wanted to showcase the gorgeous bats and the giant label you get as part of the stamps and dies, so a large box was the perfect solution.
The large bat on this project was the first item I used when I received my Mini Catalogue pre-order, the fact that the dies fit around the Designer Series Paper (DSP) patterns is a great added bonus and I love how these bats look when they’re cut out.
I went quite simple with the box design so that the paper and the decoration could take centre stage. The Metallic Mesh ribbon is perfect for this project with its almost spiderweb appearance – but could be a great addition on Christmas projects too.
Finally, a bit of blends colouring on the label brings it all together. The box is large enough to fit numerous treats – perhaps to give to children out trick treating? Or as a table gift at a Halloween party? What do you think? I hope you like it. #
Best Wishes,
Suzanne
