Hippo Birthday

I'm still having fun with Pun Fun and the button bouquet.

Tip: If you don't have the colour ribbon that you are after, cut a strip of card in the colour that you want, crumple it up an then flatten in out. This gives you colour and texture.

Pun Fun Whale

I think that the Stampin' Up!s Pun Fun whale is very cute.
On this card I have used Aqua Painters to colour the whale in. For best results with the Aqua Painters do a light wash of colour first with a damp (not wet) brush, then go around two adjacent edges with a darker shade of colour.

Have fun.

My nearly 5 year old made this gorgeous birthday card. Didn't he do a great job!

We Have Blast Off

I must admit that Pun Fun was a stamp set that I liked, but I was put off by the words. That meant that until the last couple of months I haven't played with it. What a waste! Now that I have my sticky (or inky) little fingers on it I have been having so much fun.

When you mount your Pun Fun stamp set you could carefully cut inbetween the words and the picture with a craft blade and then mount the words onto the end of the wooden block. (Please be very careful how you cut, as you won't get a replacement if you cut the image.)

I have copied this card here from the catalogue. I may have to add some white words in place of the arrows. I'll have a think on that!

I love the way that the buttons match the colours so nicely.

Rockets Away

I have always liked the layout of this card, but I don't have the stamp set.

However, I do have the Pun Fun stamp set (on loan from the lovely Jess McDonald) which I coloured using my aqua painters. I have used the small star punch with dimensionals behind to give them lift and I used the mat pack and joined the dots (slowly) with a stampin write marker to get the stitched effect.

It is so easy to use one of the card layouts in the Ideas Book and Catalogue and turn it into a unique card of your own. Try it today. Or phone me for your own copy of the catalogue on 09 238 2100.

Buttons and Bags

I am keeping to a couple of themes with this box. Firstly, using a sample from the catalogue that I have altered to suit a stamp set and colour family that I already have. Secondly, to use the Pun Fun stamp set and the In-Colours and Neutrals range of card, buttons and ribbons.


I will be starting a new Stamp Club in March. Please contact me if you would like to find out more details. The box above is just one example of the projects that we will be making.

I Stink You Sweet

I have had great fun over the holidays playing around with the Pun Fun stamp set. I'll be posting some of the samples over the next few weeks.

This card I based on the Build-a -Roo card on page 56 of the Ideas Book and Catalogue. Contact me to receive your copy today.

Have a great day.
