After a bit of a hiatus, you should be seeing more regular posts on the blog. It been a busy few month over at our household. We had Christmas, New Years, my birthday, my daughters birthday, our wedding anniversary, work, some domain name issues and just life in general in-between. And it was also my 1 year anniversary for joining Stampin Up! I made it a whole year and still love it. I also have to admit, I definitely lost my mojo for anything stamping, scrapbooking or crafty in general over the Christmas break. My solution…….just go with the flow. I think the break definitely put a few things in perspective. I don’t feel obligated to get certain things done or have things a certain way. My creative juices are slowing returning, but I also found that being inspired by other people’s work definitely helped me with getting motivation back.
One of the projects I have been wanting to do, is a Icy Pole card. Perhaps better know as a Popsicle or Ice Block depending on where you live. I think here in Australia, we are just about done with the warm weather, so before it completely disappears I wanted to get it up on my blog. We are an ‘Icy Pole’ kind of family, and I don’t think my daughter could live without them. You wouldn’t believe the amount of time that it DOESN’T take to make this card.
This one measure 9cm x 14cm then folded in half. I then rounded the corners and took the bite mark out with the scallop circle punch. I have used the Strawberry from the Tart and Tangy stamp set and used the markers to colour. Add a stick to the back and there you have it. These would make a great summer pool party invite, or birthday invitation too. These are the other stamps you get in the set.
So thank you all who have be patiently waiting for some updates, they are on their way. If you have something you would like to see on here, be sure to let me know.
ENJOY!
