PASSIONETTES SAB 2012 BLOG HOP!


Hello and welcome to our blog hop!
You most probably arrived here from Teri's blog, didn't you just loved her projects?
I thought they were stunning.

Here's is a sweet project Monica (as my original blog was eaten by the ether!) designed using one of FREE sets you can earn during the SAB period called Sprinkled Expressions.


All supplies Stampin'Up! unless otherwise stated
PAPER: Pretty in pink, Wild wasabi, whisper white card stock, Just add Cake DSP
INK: pretty in pink, melon mambo and basic black
STAMPS:Sprinkled expressions
TOOLS:Pillow box die, Big Shot, 11/4" circle punch, Lattice square embossing folder, large oval punch, small oval punch, corner rounder punch
ACCESSORIES:Pretty in Pink satin ribbon, Rhinestones, Self adhesive pearls


For the card I stamped the love heart image in pretty in pink ink and added some pearls and rhinestones to it. The top corners were rounded and the sentiment was stamped in 2 colours using markers.

Next the pillow box
The box was cut on the Big shot with the pillow box die in pretty in pink card.
The sleeve was made from Just Add Cake designer paper and the small oval punch was used to create a handle.
Stamped the flower from the set in pretty in pink ink and the outer edges of the stamp were rolled in melon mambo ink to create a contrasting effect.

Hope you enjoyed Monica's projects - who very kindly saved the blog hop by doing these gorgeous projects. I am continuing to have technical difficulties, and hope to post my own project before the end of the day - bear with me!

Here's hoping that I can get these published on my third attempt!


Paper: SAB Everyday Enchantment DSP, Very Vanilla
Ink: In Colour markers 2011/2013 Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade & Wisteria Wonder
Stamps: SAB Fresh Vintage
Tools: Scallop Trim Corner punch, small circle punch, Beautiful Wings embosslit
Accessories: 3/8" Very Vanilla Velvet Ribbon (Mini p11), Pearl jewels

Here's the sensational sale-a-bration DSP as the background with a Very Vanilla corner punched plate for the individually coloured stamp in the centre. Two of the smallest butterflies (just like the pattern of the DSP), and the flower centres highlighted with pearls. Then I used the small circle punch 4 times in the base of the card and used the outer loops of the corner punch to thread the velvet ribbon through to tie the bow at the front.


Paper: Everyday Enchantment DSP, Pool Party
Ink: Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade
Stamps: SAB Fresh Vintage,Swirls & Curls Verses (Hostess from Mini)
Tools: Scallop trim border punch, small circle punch, Triple Doily Punch
Accessories: Pearl jewels, Pear Pizazz Seam Binding

Here, I scalloped punched the right hand border, then placed the DSP, printed the flowers, printing two of the large flowers to have a contrasting central element. Printing the greeting an border on pool party card stock, fixing in place with snail adhesive. Finally tying the seam binding at the bottom of the card, using dimensionals for all flowers, with a double layer of dimensionals to hide  the ribbon knot. I so love that the doily punch complements this set :-)

And on a final note, simply because I love this DSP so much I have used the same DSP and stamp set with Whisper White ink, contrasting on the Poppy Parade Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die, with pearl jewels for the body.

Then a swirls & curls greeting on Very Vanilla card stock, punched oval with Poppy Parade scalloped oval punch.

I just wanted to show off the detail of the DSP as the pattern is really gorgeous, let me know what you think and leave a comment for me :-)


Thank you for visiting me today, keep on crafting, Gen xxx

Hop on over to  Tara, ENJOY !!!

    INTERNATIONAL CONCEPT OF WORK FROM HOME
    Work from home theory is fast gaining popularity because of the freedom and flexibility that comes with it. Since one is not bound by fixed working hours, they can schedule their work at the time when they feel most productive and convenient to them. Women & Men benefit a lot from this concept of work since they can balance their home and work perfectly. People mostly find that in this situation, their productivity is higher and stress levels lower. Those who like isolation and a tranquil work environment also tend to prefer this way of working. Today, with the kind of communication networks available, millions of people worldwide are considering this option.

    Women & Men who want to be independent but cannot afford to leave their responsibilities at home aside will benefit a lot from this concept of work. It makes it easier to maintain a healthy balance between home and work. The family doesn't get neglected and you can get your work done too. You can thus effectively juggle home responsibilities with your career. Working from home is definitely a viable option but it also needs a lot of hard work and discipline. You have to make a time schedule for yourself and stick to it. There will be a time frame of course for any job you take up and you have to fulfill that project within that time frame.

    There are many things that can be done working from home. A few of them is listed below that will give you a general idea about the benefits of this concept.

    Baby-sitting
    This is the most common and highly preferred job that Women & Men like doing. Since in today's competitive world both the parents have to work they need a secure place to leave behind their children who will take care of them and parents can also relax without being worried all the time. In this job you don't require any degree or qualifications. You only have to know how to take care of children. Parents are happy to pay handsome salary and you can also earn a lot without putting too much of an effort.

    Nursery
    For those who have a garden or an open space at your disposal and are also interested in gardening can go for this method of earning money. If given proper time and efforts nursery business can flourish very well and you will earn handsomely. But just as all jobs establishing it will be a bit difficult but the end results are outstanding.

    Freelance
    Freelance can be in different wings. Either you can be a freelance reporter or a freelance photographer. You can also do designing or be in the advertising field doing project on your own. Being independent and working independently will depend on your field of work and the availability of its worth in the market. If you like doing jewellery designing you can do that at home totally independently. You can also work on freelancing as a marketing executive working from home. know more, email us on workfromhome.otr214427@gmail.com and we will send you information on how you can actually work as a marketing freelancer.


    Internet related work

You can match your time according to your convenience and complete whatever projects you get.

    Diet food
    Since now a days Women & Men are more conscious of the food that they eat hence they prefer to have homemade low cal food and if you can start supplying low cal food to various offices then it will be a very good source of income and not too much of efforts. You can hire a few ladies who will help you out and this can be a good business.

    Thus think over this concept and go ahead. Otr 214427
