You're Too Kind Greeting Card - Decorated Life Stamp Set

noreply@blogger.com (Fabrizio) — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 23:45:00 +0000

This time it's my turn to make Brenda proud, well I hope !!!! I just purchased some new promarkers and also wanted to try 'Bristol Board' for the first time (Thanks Amanda).

It's uncoated but still very smooth to the touch, absorb the Memento ink beautifully. I also used a gel pen that Joanna Sheen recommends (she's one sharp tack our Joanna) and it works great to do the dotted highlights around the stamped image. Papers are......like you need to ask, Brenda's ! :) The sentiment as well as the punched frame, however, are Stampin' Up.

The uber cute birdcage is from the 'Decorated Life' clear stamp set by Brenda Pinnick.

So using the 'Dear Friend Set' he created this Thinking of you card ! Papers are all Brenda Pinnick's previous collection (if you find them anyhwere: beg, 'steal' or borrow if you find her gorgeous paper pads anywhere).

I really like the peaceful colours in this card and the arrangement of the various stamps. Thank you Vince, great card ! :)

Box with Lid: Sizzix Scoreboard XL Die by Eileen Hull - Brenda Pinnick Iris Paper Pad

noreply@blogger.com (Fabrizio) — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 02:41:00 +0000

OMG I can't believe it's the last blog hop for Eileen's new range of XL dies in the Sizzix Scoreboard !!! Well the last die is the Box with Lid. I've used the lovely Brenda Pinnick papers in the Iris paper pad. Punched the flower petals and cut them in half also to create the border around the lid. Punch is the wonderful scalloped oval by Stampin' Up .....can't live without it now. I also used a chunky Dovecraft jewel brad for the centre of the flower and Kanban mini jewels which matched the colour perfectly. Then it was a matter of inking the whole lot with Memento - London Fog ....very adept as we had a bit of it tonight in West London ! Hurray !

Now you can start the blog hop at Eileen's blog and then follow on with the other wonderfully talented artists who have created gorgeous boxes to tantalise your inspiraton ! Better put my dictionary down I've used too many 'big' words tonight. Enjoy !

Blog hop starts tomorrow Wednesday 20th of Jan at 11am Eastern Time which is 4pm in the UK.

Frame-a-licious Project with Brenda's Sucerie paper - Eileen Hull Sizzix Blog Hop

noreply@blogger.com (Fabrizio) — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 02:05:00 +0000

Another blog hop for the fabulously talented Eileen Hull and her sizzix collection of diecuts. I've used Brenda's Sucerie pad only one page which had three kind of elements: the flowery pattern, the stripes and the border. I've used a HOTP template to create the flower and use their matching orange brads. The squidgy birds and tulips are from a sheet of three dimensional stickers I got from a UK shop called Paperchase. Eileen diecut is called Frame Easel you can use a picture but I thought I would let Brenda's paper do the talking this time.

Enjoy the blog hop which starts on Wednesday on Eileen's Blog !

Notebook Pocket Wine Taster Holder - Village Color papers and Kanban topper

noreply@blogger.com (Fabrizio) — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 23:02:00 +0000

I can't believe it's that time again to have another blog hop with the multi-talented Eileen. This week we had the Notebook Pocket to create something with. I thought it would be fun to use it as a Wine Taster Note container. I used the lovely Brenda Pinnick paper (Village Color) which seemed to match the Kanban wine topper. I even went the extra mile this week and staged the picture with a 'real' wine bottle and glass ! LOL Yes I had a slow day ! :)

I hope you enjoy the blog hop which you can start from Eileen's blog just in case you arrived first here by other means (search engine, referral, etc...).

Wow another Blog Hop by Eileen for her Check Book Cover die-cut. I've used Brenda's Sucerie and Initially Yours papers. I've left the back cover loose so you can see the inside of the check book.

Believe in You Card - Digital Image by Brenda Pinnick and Sucerie paper

noreply@blogger.com (Fabrizio) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:05:00 +0000

This week's Dare U 2 Digistamp them was a lovely sketch by Larissa and I had this idea of using semi opaque acrylic sheet and stamp on it with a similar signature stamp with white stazon ink. It kinda worked but I had to use some pearl gems to make them more noticeable as they would disappear otherwise.

Paper (background in green) is Brenda's Sucerie and the digital image she gave away on her blog a while back to be used for her new serie U Color ! I used Coloursoft (Derwent) and Sansodor to colour it.

You can see a below a close up so you can see the stamped acrylic squares that are matching the sketch design, well I tried to ! LOL

Sucerie papers combined with Eileen Hull Sizzix cupcake die

noreply@blogger.com (Fabrizio) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:42:00 +0000

Eileen Hull has created these wonderful dies and she asked me to try the stampboard die-cuts out of them. I've used Brenda's Sucerie papers, some hotp brads and punched out little circles out of the inside paper to cover the brads and some kanban faux gems bling to finish the cupcake look off !

Happy BLOG HOPPING ! :)

Wedding photos by Leonie

noreply@blogger.com (LeonieM) — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 19:08:00 +0000

This is using the same sheet as Vince. The panels make perfect frames for photos. I have wrapped one of the ribbons from the TSV kit round a chipboard frame (also from the same kit) and also used one of the chipboard flowers. This page was enhanced (as were all the pages in the album) with ribbon and I used some blue self-adhesive gems on the blue 'diamonds' to give a bit of accent.

Finally, I used a fancy eyelet 'medal' from the Big Bite.

Eve as a baby by Leonie

noreply@blogger.com (LeonieM) — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 18:57:00 +0000

This is the first page of the album - my mum as a baby. I used the pink colourway for my mum's page, and the pale blue/green colourway for my dad's page on the facing page. Chipboard letters from the 'Initially Yours' and a chipboard flower from the scrapbook kit from QVC (the one with the papers, large scrapbook (which I used for this album) and 3 small ones. Finished off with self-adhesive ribbons and some pink buttons.

This was not actually the final page: I added another photo on the right, but don't have a 'small' copy of the photo with that on.
