Sneak Peak

Just a quick sneak peak post before tomorrows blog hop, I have been fiddling with blogger to work out how to schedule posts, so lets see how it goes.
The card below uses the top note die from our Autumn/ Winter Mini catalogue as well as the 2 step bird punch. We made this card at class last fortnight but I told the girls to keep it under wraps because i may use it as my convention swap with some minor tweaking, but will now have to make up another design, let me know what you think.

Thanks for looking & hope your back for tomorrows Blog Hop

I have used Parisian breeze DSP (now retired)& teamed it with chocolate chip cardstock.
Punches used include: small oval, large oval, 1 1/4 square, 1 1/4 circle, scallop punch & round tab.

I have posted below some pictures of cards made using the Sale-a-bration sets.

Very simple design could be used for Male or Female by changing the colours.

This card was designed by my upline Roz Vest

Again a great card that can be used for male female or children just by changing the colours.


I love this card the birthday cake image is so easy to colour & looks great

This card I have cased of Splitcoaststampers with a few changes, again very simple but so effective.

This card uses the bird cage from the Happy Moments set, I have also used En francis' for the background as well as Baroque Motifs.

I love the tag concept on this card using the birthday cake from the Happy Moments set, the idea came from Spliltcoast stampers. I think the ribbon & paper piercing just finishes it off nicely.

This was the first card I made using the birdcage from the Happy Moments set, it's hard to tell from the picture but the birdcage is recessed in the circle frame.

This was a card I made using wide oval punch to make a pot & then putting it through the crimper, I first used this idea on card I submitted in a colour challenge back in January (check out previous posts). I also tried something different for me by wrapping a brad around the ribbon .
If you would like any further information on any of the cards or to make a purchase for Sale-a-bration please contact by Email@ rfplatzer@bigpond.com
I'd love to here your comments.

If you would like more info on any of the cards please just Email me at rfplatzer@bigpond.com

This card was made by all ages & was quite simple

This card was made by some of the older girls & I pre stamped the skull for them.


This card was made by some of the younger girls & I pre stamped the butterflies for them.


This card is a case of a card made by Nikki Tidbold that I received at regionals in Sydney & was made by the older girls.
This card was made by the younger girls they used the watercolour pencils to colour then blended it with Blender pen .

This card was made by the boys as well as the Skull card using Pacific Point Colour & the boys also made the Green card from the Just Riding stamp set from an earlier post.
