Kookaburra Crafts

I was thrilled this month to see just as many beginners/intermediate entries in the challenge. Well done all of you and thank you for joining in the fun. The challenge is all about taking you out of your comfort zone and it should be fun. Thank you all for having a go. Sadly there can only be one winner but rest assured that all your cards were enjoyed and voted for. I don't think there was a single card that didn't have a vote! However there can only be one winner in each category and therefore it is my pleasure to announce that the winner in the Beginners is Daphne   this is Daphne's first ever entry, so well done Daphne.  The winner in the Advanced section is Rhonda Well done Rhonda.  Do you all notice a pattern with the winning cards.  Well done girls. You both receive a $20 gift voucher to spend in store.  The other wonderful entries in the Advanced category are these: Sue Sue  Maralene...

Triple Heart Easel Card   For our first week of classes for 2013 I chose a theme of New Year, New Beginnings. We made a Happy New Year card and a wedding card.       The wedding card was a triple easel card, made with Spellbinders Classic Hearts and Scalloped Hearts. The paper I used is by  Melissa Frances called Blessings.   I used Marianne Creatables LR0226 for the leaves and LR0242 for the flower on the largest heart. I have used Nellie Snellen punches for the other flowers, Spellbinders Ribbon Banner dies and Justrite Stampers 'Ever After Antique Labels One' for the sentiment.     The wedding rings were cut out of silver mirror board and the ink I used was Tattered Rose Distress Ink.         The Happy New Year card is something different for me. I don't normally do this sort of thing, but just before Christmas I received stock of the Craftables clock (CR1234) and Cheery  Ly...

Here are a few more cards that we've made. This first one is an anniversary card. The paper is from Pink Paislee and the inspiration for this one was the Nellie Snellen heart die. The 3D is from Le Suh and again I've used a Grommet Tag from Spellbinders. The stamp is from JustRite Stamps. I've inked the card with Versamagic Tea Leaves ink. This one was inspired by two cards that I saw using the (then) new Marianne's Designables. I took both ideas and combined them into my own design. I just LOVE these embossing folders - the designs are gorgeous and they look so elegant. This one is a simple black and white card made on pearl cardstock. The ladies head is a Marianne's Creatables die cut in white and then cut out of black card. I've added black and silver rhinestons to finish it off. Another one inspired by the Marianne's Designables and one of my favourite 3D's - Miniature ladies from Le Suh. This one is just on plain white cardstock ...
