Pyramid Explosion Box

Pyramid Explosion Box



I am absolutely loving the chipboard packs that Memory Maze are now designing that have all you could need for a project or page. I have used a gorgeous flourish, some butterflies and flowers all from the same pack. Honestly, what more could you want! Such an ease knowing all the hard work of matching pieces is already done for you! 
 


All of the chipboard that is brown and teal have been inked, the grey was painted. I have not added glitter or dimension magic to these pieces as I really wanted to keep it as a matte finish.
The papers used were from the Blue Bay collection range by Kaiser..
Some flowers, lace, washi tape and a paperclip finishes off the project just nicely..

Aussie Christmas Advent Calendar

Aussie Christmas - Advent Calendar



My boys loved the Naughty or Nice Advent calendar that I made for myself --- ( I shared that in yesterdays post) ---- that they wanted me to make a special one for them too.. Hunter ended up making a MARVEL's themed Advent Calendar, so that left us to come up with a fun theme for Lane.. As soon as I saw this Memory Maze "Aussie Christmas" chippie piece, I knew straight away this would be perfect.. 


The Santa Hats have been covered with Red ink on both sides, then glue has been applied for the "Fluff" to stick, then Liquid Pearl has been used to make the dot on the tip.
"Aussie Christmas" comes already prepared in different colours, I choose Red.
The little Reindeer has been layered 3 times with "Puff White" embossing powder.
All of the matchbox drawers have been covered with the Christmas Tree Washi Tape on the front.

Naughty or Nice? Advent Calendar

Naughty or Nice?  

Pretty much every year since I was a teenager, I've told myself that I would make my own Advent calendar.. But still never did.. Finally however, I have found that papers and the chipboard pieces that have inspired me to make my own.. This project started out being a set probably for Lane, however I do believe that it's a bit too girly and I think I'll just have to keep this one for myself! hehehe.. 



The papers that have been used are the Silver Bells collection from Kaiser... The adorable chipboard pieces are of course Memory Maze...  

Thanks to Kaye at A CRAFTER'S PASSION in Rockhampton, Qld who was enjoying coming up with little ideas for me while I was trying to take it all in myself.. lol.. The SNOW was a fantastic idea and turned out way better than the Fluff that I would have used.. So THANKS Kaye!! :)

Although I did use matchboxes for the drawers, the house is made by using the 12x12 sheet chipboard. The circles and title were inked, sprayed with mist and dusted with distress glitter. The cute little Reindeer was simply inked. The Trees and Sleigh were both painted with the same Grey that was used on all of the edges on this project.
