Hello and welcome I am Karen Farquhar from Australia and I thank you for joining me today for Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge #062. Today we have been given a blank canvas to create anything we like. Fun! I think we have all fallen in love with the cute Little Ladybugs Stamp Set from the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue and the fun part is if you place a party order or personal order over $500AUD during the Sale-A-Bration period you will earn the exclusive Little Ladybug Stamp Set for free. Only available during Sale-A-Bration however. I was so taken with the set I have made a number of projects for my Sale-A-Bration and the new 2020 Mini catalogue launch. For my submission to the Challenge I have embellished one of our Mini Pizza Boxes containing 6 3"x3". I needed to create a card for a friend who had suffered a sad loss in her family I thought this little lady would be a sweet way to offer my condolences. Happy Birthday cards are always a must to have on hand and I so love this font I created a Birthday card as well. And of course coordinating gift tags are a must. How sweet are the tumbling ladybugs. Spurred on by my Ladybug theme I created Mini Curvy Keepsake Boxes containing a chocolate Ladybug for all my catalogue launch attendees. Because what is a stamping celebration without chocolate? Thank you for visiting me. I hope you have been inspired by the projects I have presented today. Please, you are more than welcome to enter your projects for the Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges here. We really would love to see your creations. Note we need your projects submitted by 10am.

I had to make the Grinch on the curvy keepsake box. I cut the box with Old Olive. Eyes are 1/2 circle punch, and smallest circle from the Owl Builder punch. Nose is modern label punch. Eyebrows were just some rectangles I cut using Early Espresso cardstock. Mouth hand drawn with Early Espresso marker. Hat was made with Real Red cardstock and pennant punch. Pom pom at top made with Boho punch. Of course I had to make a card also. Made the same way except I used 1 inch circle punch for the eyes. I thought it would be funny to let the greeting read "be of good cheer" seeing how the Grinch through most of the cartoon was rather grumpy.

I am in love with the new curvy keepsake box thinlits die that will be on sale in the Holiday mini catalog. This one was made using designer paper Color me Autumn. This one I used cardstock weight velum and embossed with stars embossing folder. Inside holds a battery operated tea light candle. Since I liked the velum look so much I made another one. This time I stamped one of the snowflakes using Encore silver ink. Stamp set Endless Wishes. The die also comes with three different shape tags. Everyone on my Christmas list will be receiving a little gift from me inside this cute little box. So much fun! Stamping trails Karen

Hello and welcome back... I am sharing the Gold Curvy Keepsake Boxes today, I felt yesterday's post was getting a bit long so decided to post the Gold ones today...... The first has been made using Gold Glimmer Card and it's so sparkly.... I used a Mini Metallic Peg to attach a bow, made from Gold Glitter Ribbon, to the box. That Ribbon is just gorgeous....Just sayin' I also added the silver star I cut out from Silver Glimmer Card to the peg... Then to finish this one off I cut out Noel from Red Glimmer Card and attached it to the box. It can be used for all sorts of occasions, not just Christmas, depending on how you decide to decorate the box. Oh My! this next box is just so pretty, again if you don't want to emboss the box it looks great as is, but I just love what the Boho Chic Embossing Folder has done to make it just that little bit more special. I teamed it with some Gold Sequin Trim.... Then using the same method as yesterday I cut out a Silver Foil Card Star Frame and stuck a Seasons Greeting to it using a glue dot. I may go back and redo the sentiment using Silver or gold embossing powder, I think it will look better. I tied a bow made of 1/8" Gold Ribbon to the Gold peg and attached everything to the box using the peg.... These have got to be amongst my favourite boxes so far and definatly on my list for the Christmas Table this year....  So which is your favourite and have you been inspired to make some gorgeous boxes...I do hope so. I have listed everything I have used to make these boxes here, just click on a product to go directly to my online shop, if you have any queries don't hesitate to contact me, I would love to hear from you.  Thanks for stopping by.... Happy Crafting X

Four fun cards and a fun fold card box --- all made from the Curvy Celebrations from Stampin' Up! We'll start with the cards. The leaves from the Quite Curvy Bundle are colored with Stampin' Blends on Crumb Cake cardstock. The Cajun Craze card stock is cut freehand so that the leaves will fit right over its edge, making the top front of the card in Crumb Cake and the bottom Cajun Craze. The Curvy Christmas stamp set is an additional item offered just through December. It uses the same Curvy Dies - so it makes sense to add

Hello and welcome back to another Curvy Keepsake Wednesday.... This weeks box is super cute and its my favourite thing about Christmas, I love Gingerbread Men.......So I have created a little Gingerbread Curvy Keepsake House. Isn't it adorable... I started off with the basic Curvy Keepsake box cut out of Soft Suede Card and I sponged around the edges with Soft Suede ink. For the tiles on the roof I used my Scallop Edge Border punch (sadly retired) and cut strips which I sponged before sticking to the box. This is easier to do before you assemble the boxes. For the sweeties I punched 1/2" and 1/4" circles out of Real Red Card and using my White Gel Pen I drew swirls on them before sticking them to the box. For the window on the back of the box I used 1 1/4" Scallop Circle punch and 3/4" circle punch. Punch out the 3/4" circle and then punch the scallop circle around the hole left by the 3/4" punch. I sponged it and added some White Gel pen dots around the edge and then I put a 1" circle of vellum behind and stuck it to the box. I used the heart punch from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack to cut out Real Red Hearts and did some faux stitching on them before adding them to the box. For the front door I used the large oval punch and added some detail with a White Gel Pen and then added a White Candy Dot for the door knob. The tiny window at the top is made the same way as the back window but using smaller punches, 7/8" Scallop Circle and the 1/2" circle punch, adding a 3/4" vellum circle behind. The candy canes are from the Stamp Set A Little Something (retiring at the end of December). The little Gingerbread man is hand cut and added to the box with dimensionals. I do hope you like my little gingerbread house, all the products used are listed below (except retired items) just click on a picture to go to my on-line store. Check out the End of Year Sale too for lots of amazing bargains. Hope you enjoyed, thanks for stopping by.... Happy Crafting X

Isn’t this such a cute treat holder? I received it from my friend Ronda Wade last weekend. It would be perfect for any fall events or a little pick me up for a friend or coworker. The Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits make the container itself a snap. … Continue reading

Isn't this the cutest little Get Well project? When I found this on Pinterest I knew I had to make one. The base is made with Pistachio Pudding cardstock. Designer paper Sweet Sorbet (free SAB) Greeting from Perfectly Penned. Other things used: Deco Labels framelits, Deco Label punch, paper doily, rhinestones, Petite Petals stamp set and matching punch. Now I know since you have seen this you want to make one for yourself or an under the weather friend. Click here to view Shannon's video on how to make this quick and easy project. I think next time around I'm going to run the deco label frame piece through an embossing folder. Just to give it more texture. I know I'll be making more of these. Stamping trails Karen

Hi Stamper! So, if you follow our Instagram (Jomina.Creations) you probably saw this really cute retro trailer made with the Curvy Keepsake...

Good afternoon! Boy has this day gotten away from me! I went out this morning...intending to be gone for about an hour....four hours later I'm finally home again! YIKES! I'm so behind! I have a couple more of my Curvy Keepsake Boxes to share with you today! I told you a while back that my 12 year old son, Adam, wanted me to do the "COOL" emoji with the SHADES....so here I have it! Looking back at it...I should have sponged the white on the top of the sunglasses instead of drawing it with my white Stampin' Chalk Marker...but I had already taken the picture...and haven't had a chance to play today... Here's what he looks like on my phone....my son LOVES him!! I also wanted to use the bee that I created for my BEE MINE Curvy Keepsake Box....so I thought...let's BEE HAPPY! The HAPPY is stamped with the Hello Life stamp set. I still have a LONG LIST of Curvy Keepsake Boxes that I want to make...I won't bombard you with them...but I will keep 'em coming! I thank you all for following along on my blog! It means so much to me that you take the time to see what I've been up to in my workshop! THANKS BUNCHES FOR STOPPING BY!!! See ya again tomorrow!! Have a FANTASTIC rest of your day!

I have teamed up with 11 Incredible Demonstrators from around the globe to bring you a Tutorial Bundle, once a month for a 6 month period (August 2016 - January 2017). All tutorials are offered in both Metric and Imperial measurements so that everyone around the globe are able to recreate the projects with ease. You will receive no less than TWELVE tutorials in each month's Tutorial Bundle, one tutorial from each of the twelve designers. For a sneak peek of each month's Tutorials and/or to purchase them click below. Poppy Favour Tutorial Cut Two Ovals of differing sizes and stamp using Kinda Eclectic sunburst image in the same Real Red as the cardstock. Curl the edges using a bone folder (I have kept them flat here for the purpose of the photo). Snip into the centre where they over lap and interlock. Die cut the leaf from the Leaflets Framelits in Garden Green. Mount the poppy on a disc of Basic Black and sandwich your treat between that and another disc. Add the leaf and then the poppy head, before finishing it off with a smaller circle of Black Cardstock to the centre, which I've adhered using a single Dimensional foam pad. Notecard and Tag Gift Box for 3"x3" cards Click on the above photo to see the project post in it's entirety. Below are the instructions for making the box and insert divider. The enclosed Notecards are a simple 3" x 3" square card and the coordinating Envelopes were made using the Envelope Punch Board and Designer Series Paper. The tags are cut to 2" wide, finished using the Tag Topper Punch and cut to your chosen length to fit the box. Stamp up the cards to coordinate with your chosen DSP. Snip into one score line at each corner and use a strong adhesive to assemble. I have shown here with Sticky Strip so that you are able to see it clearly. It is a good idea to adhere the divider in place. This helps to give the box a little more strength to the base. If you are stamping on the Box Lid, you will want to do this before assembling.

Envelope Punch Board Mini Album (6" x 6") Click on the photo, to be taken to the Tutorial Instructions. Envelope Punch Board/Paper Table Favour Click on the photo, to be taken to the Tutorial Instructions. The instructions will yield 12 favours from one sheet of 12" x 12" paper.

Gift Card Envelope Box Tutorial Click on the photo to be taken to the Tutorial instructions. Santa's Face Embellishment Tutorial I have received some lovely comments and emails asking for instructions on how to make the Punch Art Santa that I showed on my Curvy Keepsake Gift Boxes of late, so without further ado ….. get your punches ready and spread a little cheer! You will need the following punches and dies: 2 3/8" Scallop Circle - White 1 3/4" Scallop Circle - White Large Oval - Blushing Bride Large circle from Owl Builder Punch - Blushing Bride 2 Medium Circles from Owl Builder Punch - Black Mustache Framelit - White Petite Pennants Builder - Real Red Petite Pennants Builder - Silver Glimmer (part punch) 1/2" Circle - Silver Glimmer 1. Punch out one each of the above (unless otherwise stated) 2. Assemble as shown. Taking the Pennant Parade part punch of glimmer paper and holding with a post it note, re-insert into the punch in the opposite direction to add a scalloped edge to the opposite side of the scalloped bottom edge. 3. Add the Mustache to the face using Dimensionals and add the scalloped punched glimmer strip to the bottom of the hat. 4. Attach the hat to the face and decide where you wish to use your cheerful Santa. Merry Christmas Mikaela x Curvy Keepsake Pumpkin Box Tutorial Place an online order with me during the month of October 2014, of £20 or more, and you will receive a kit to make two of these cute boxes. Look out for the Hostess Code to apply to your order at the beginning of October (Note that the Designer Series Paper may differ to that shown here). Cut two each of the Cardstock sides and two of the Polka Dot Designer Series Paper sides. Please note that this particular DSP has been retired, but the Designer Series paper Stacks would offer a similar polka dot. Die cut as shown here. Fold on the score lines and lay out as shown here. Adhere the cardstock base together, then trim off the excess DSP along the scoreline at the base of the sides. Add adhesive to the outside edge of the little side tab of the card stock base and marry up the base of the DSP side. Repeat on both sides. The base of your box will now look like this. Very gently, using the full length of a Bone Folder, curl each box side inwards on itself, in the direction of it being assembled. The Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits, comes complete with 3 possible tags. I've used the oval here and stamped using a Hostess Set called, Good Greetings. The leaf has been die cut using the Autumn Accents Die. Take a thin strip of matching card stock and wrap it tightly around a thin round pen or similar. Layer the tag and leaf, attach the card stock curl with a Glue Dot and tie to the box using Linen Thread. Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits Dies £29.95 Autumn Accents Bigz Die £18.95 Pumpkin Pie A4 Card Stock £6.25 Old Olive A4 Card Stock £6.25 Crumb Cake A4 Card Stock £6.25 Linen Thread £3.95 Flower Shop Stamp Set Tip Should you purchase the gorgeous Flower Shop Stamp Set and Punch Bundle, then you will find this tip for setting up the stamps, very useful. Thankfully, I discovered this tip from one of my fellow Demonstrators in America, before setting my kit up. There is only one way that the punch will fit neatly around the stamped image, with an even edge all the way round, so you need to find this to start with … and here is how. Firstly you want to take a piece of cardstock and pushing the strip right down into the punch, punch out the image. Turn the piece of cardstock over and mark which is the top and bottom of the image (the bottom being the inside edge of the punch). It is important to turn the cardstock over to mark this, as you are wanting the punch to sit the way the image will appear when stamped. Now place each flower image in turn onto your acrylic block and with the punched out flower, sit it over the rubber image, turning it until it sits snuggly around the flower (there really is only one best way). When you've found it, mark on the edge of the rubber, where the bottom is (as shown in the bottom left photo here). Repeat for each flower image. I have marked the bottom, so that now when I stamp the image, I stamp it with the bottom mark of the image to the edge of the cardstock, so that I can slot it directly into the punch, without having to cut away excess cardstock to line it up. I have also marked the rubber that I store them in, so that I know which way round it sits neatly back in the case. I hope this makes sense. I think once you start rotating the cardstock, you'll see how it fits better one way more so than the others.

Hello and welcome back to another Curvy Keepsake Wednesday, This weeks box is a little Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer and he is oh so cute.... So I started off by cutting out the pieces for the Curvy Keepsake Box from Chocolate Chip Card and then sponged around the edges with Chocolate Chip Ink. Then I punched out the pieces for the Rudolf head, I used the extra large Oval Punch for the face, the 1/2" and 1/4" circle punches for the eyes out of Whisper White and Basic Black, the 1/2" Circle for the nose out of Red Glimmer Paper and the tree trunk from the Tree Builder Punch for his antlers. The ears are cut from an extra large oval punch by putting the oval back into the punch and cutting off each end. I sponged around all the pieces before assembling them as above.. I used the White Gel Pen to add some highlights to the eyes and then I attached the head to the box with dimensionals. The trees look so good as antlers don't you think...... And the finished boxes such cute little Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer..... I hope you enjoyed this weeks Curvy Keepsake Box, thanks for stopping by... Happy Crafting X
