FIONA DUNN - INDEPENDENT KASZAZZ CONSULTANT

First Update for 2012

2012-01-24T22:34:00.003+11:00

Hi Everyone,

I hope you all enjoyed the Christmas break. We had a very quiet break and went on holidays to Merimbula for 10 days. The coastal weather did wonders for us all and I feel so energised.

Due to my decision to start a cattery, "Ascotdelvin British", I put my Kaszazz business on hold. Now that is underway, I am able to go back to running the Kaszazz workshops again.

Bye for now, Fiona.

Update

2011-09-13T20:40:00.004+10:00

Hi Everyone,

I can't believe how time flies! Only 15 weeks to Christmas and I haven't even started organising gifts.

I think this year, I will be going with handmade gifts and, of course, they will be made out of Kaszazz products. I am just so excited about the many new workshops that are up on the Kaszazz website. I hope to do some display items in between work and home.

Don't forget to join the "Kaszazz Creative Club". Go in the draw to win prizes, receive voucher freebies and much more.

I hope to share a 12" x 12" layout that I completed at Liz's craft camp. I was very happy with the end result. I will hopefully upload the photo later on tomorrow.

Bye for now, Fi.

ELLE"S BELLES CRAFT GETAWAY

2011-03-14T17:05:00.003+11:00

Hi Everyone,

Looks like I won't be able to attend the Kaszazz Conference as planned. The return flight would cost $515 and I honestly can't afford that.

Instead, I will spend the weekend updating my workshop album and organising future workshops for this month.

We have a lot of new workshops and they are stunning.

Bye for now, Fiona.

February Update

2011-03-13T21:27:00.006+11:00

Hi Everyone,

I must explain why I have been missing in action. My grandfather has been really unwell and passed away on the 1st March. I had been spending time with him at the Retirement Village. Pop reached the remarkable age of 98 and a half years.

May you rest in peace, Pop.

I will endeavour to try and get the newsletter out before the end of the week.

Happy Scrappin, Fiona.

HI TO EVERYONE!

2011-01-30T06:42:00.003+11:00

Hi Girls,

Thought I had better explain why I have gone missing in action. I have had kitten troubles and I had to have time to deal with my losses. Anyway, I now have a beautiful memorial garden for my 2 "kitty angels".

Alice's toy poodle has never left my side through this ordeal. She is just gorgeous.

Anyway, I fully intend on getting back to regular posts about Kaszazz and will be posting those much awaited projects that I was talking about before.

Thanks girls for your patience, Fiona.

TEAM TRAINING DAY

2011-01-17T00:15:00.003+11:00

Hi Everyone,

The Team Training Day went well. Everyone loved the new products. I will be uploading the new product flyer.

It was great to meet Amanda and Nisha who travelled a long way to attend, and of course, Kelly who had travelled from Coffs Harbour. Annette, Carmen and Marg enjoyed the day as well.

The cards we made were magnificent. Thanks to Amanda Cordingley for designing them. As it was, we didn't do the layout as some of the ladies had to leave to do their travelling.

I showed the girls some of the projects I had been working on and they would like me to post instructions and photos. So please stay tuned for those later on.

Cheers, Fiona.

TEAM TRAINING DAY COMPETITION

2011-01-09T10:40:00.005+11:00

Hi Everyone,

Team Training Day is on this Saturday, the 15th January. The new products are just gorgeous, and I can't wait to share them with you.

As consultants, there is a competition to design a project. This time, we have to include one of our sticky bling words, and of course, use only Kaszazz products.

There are 5 words in our Sticky Bling Words and include: Cherish, Family, Friends, Love and Princess.

I better get busy with my projects.

Cheers, Fiona.

STERLING SILVER ROLLAGRAPH BUTTERFLY CARDS

2011-01-07T23:46:00.006+11:00

Hi Everyone,

I held the Sterling Silver Rollagraph Butterfly Card Workshop tonight and everyone enjoyed it. Thank you to Carmen, Marg, Annette and Stacey for attending. It was also excellent value for $20.

I suggested to the girls to do the cards again in a different colour, and the girls thought this was a good idea. Carmen has picked the colour red, Marg has picked the colour green, Annette picked the colour orange and Stacey picked the colour pink, and I have picked the colour purple.

Hopefully, I can share their creations with you next week.

Cheers, Fiona.

NEW CLOCK FOR MY STUDIO

2011-01-06T23:01:00.003+11:00

Hi Everyone,

This afternoon I decided a new clock was in order for my studio. I loved the new paper release in September and wanted to use the "Cyan Jade" SB Foundations Paper for it. For the numbers, I painted our chipboard numbers in Pitch Black and also edged the clock in Pitch Black Paint.

To embellish, I used the rub-ons: some of the flourishes from "Flourish and Floral Bling", and some words from "Elegant Inspirations Bling". I love the large daisies and had to use these as well as the small daisy for the centre of the clock. Anyway, I was really happy with the end result.

Cheers, Fiona

3D EZY-PRESS HANDBAGS

2011-01-06T17:10:00.005+11:00

Hi Everyone,

It was mentioned by one of my Consultants, Carmen, that in the photos, you may not be able to see that the handbags are 3D. To remedy that, I have taken another photo of the bags on their side. These handbags are really cute and good for parties to put lollies in, or for weddings to use as bombonieres. I might have a go at these tonight.

I have left these handbags plain, but you can embellish them in any way you like.

Cheers, Fiona.

EZY-PRESS DISPLAY

2011-01-06T13:08:00.008+11:00

Hi Everyone,

Thought I would share a photo of some items that I made with our new "bellish Ezy-Press", roller die-cutting and embossing machine exclusive to Kaszazz.

I had so much fun making up this display. Just think of all the creative possibilities with this machine. Thanks to Carol Poole for coming up with this idea.

Cheers, Fiona.

CHANGE OF TIME TO FLOURISH SQUARE CLOCK WORKSHOP

2011-01-06T10:17:00.002+11:00

Hi Everyone,

I have had to change the time for the Flourish Square Clock Workshop on the 13th January from 10am - 12.30pm to the new time of: 6.30pm - 8.30pm.

Hope this doesn't inconvenience anyone.

Cheers, Fiona.

ATC Swap for January

2011-01-03T15:36:00.006+11:00

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to remind you all that the theme for January's Artist Trading Card will be "Bears".

Each person will have to create 5 ATC's measuring 2.5" x 3.5". You also have to use Kaszazz products only. On the back of each card, you need to put your name on them, the title or theme of the ATC and the number (1/5, 2/5.......) if it's part of an edition / series, as well as the date the ATC's were made.

As we have Team Training Day on the 15th of this month, we can swap the ATC's then to save on postage.
I had a dear friend ask: "What do you do with ATC's?"

The answer to this is: (a) you can collect them and display the cards in an album, or
(b) you can use the cards to embellish your own handmade cards, or
(c) do anything creative with them that you like, eg: put them inside a name tag to make a unique piece of jewellry.

Remember, ATC's are mini works of art and are meant to be lots of fun. They can only be swapped or given away and never sold.

Have fun creating, Fiona.

WORKSHOPS

2010-12-30T08:56:00.004+11:00

Hi Everyone,

For those of you who aren't able to attend my workshops in person. I have come up with an idea.

I can make up the workshop kit for you including instructions and post them out to you, once I have received payment. Payment for the workshop will be a direct deposit into my account. If you want to purchase stamps and inks for the projects, that will be extra. Otherwise, I can prestamp the papers for you.

Please email me at fionadunnkaszazz@gmail.com to register your interest in this.

Please note, the papers used in the above project have been deleted from our range. I will post a new photo when I have completed the above project in current Kaszazz papers.

Cheers, Fiona.

CARDMAKING CHALLENGES

2010-12-22T23:44:00.004+11:00

Hi Everyone,

I am interested in starting up a Cardmaking Challenge Group.

Each month, I will be choosing a specific colour combination and everyone involved will make their own card with those colours. You can do stamping and use different techniques such as embossing to create your card.

The only condition to take part in this group, is to use current Kaszazz products only.

I will set the colour combination at the start of each month and you will have until the 28th of the month to complete your card. With your permission, I will then upload a photo of your card to my blog.

Please contact me at: fionadunnkaszazz@gmail.com to register to be a part of this challenge group.

Blog War - Recipes, Food Stamps etc.....

2009-10-04T12:22:00.004+11:00

Hi Everyone,

I am finally back after a short while with family commitments. Alice has once again been suffering from her migraines. Poor thing, she was really sick this time, the worst one ever.

I have decided to post some photos from a recipe swap I was involved in.

I love what the girls did with the rollagraph stamp called: Garden Times. The cute letter alphabet is also a great style for titles.

Hope you are all having a great long weekend, and enjoying time with your family.

Happy stamping!

Cheers, Fiona.

Blog War - Distress Ink - Days 3 and 4

2009-09-15T16:48:00.006+10:00

Hi Everyone,

Here are photos of the projects for days 3 and 4 in the blog war.

The first photo is of an ATC that Karen Turner did for a swap on the yahoo group.

Karen used Distress Ink for the stamping and I love the effect that it gives.

You will notice that there are darker and lighter areas in the stamping and that is what makes Distress Inks ideal for heritage layouts.

The second photo is of an ATC that I made for an ATC swap where we had to use Distress Crackle
Paint.

I used Distress Ink in Black Soot for the
stamping. I love using this Elegant Lady stamp.

I used one of the ATC stamps for the word Angel.
I also used Bazzill Basics in Raven and Vanilla.

The colour of the Distress Crackle Paint is "Tea Dye".

Cheers, Fiona.

Blog War - Distress Ink - Day 2

2009-09-15T07:10:00.005+10:00

Hi Everyone,

This is a very simple card but would be great for an older person. I have used 2-step stamping on this card. I love the soft muted colours that distress inks give.

Supplies used:

White Cardstock: 8" x 8"

Distress Ink: Milled Lavender and Dusty Concord

Large White Tag

Stamps: 2 -step Fragipani small and Happy Birthday Graffiti

I will hopefully catch up on the distress ink cards this afternoon and then I can start on the children's cards this week. Better late then never!

Cheers, Fiona.

Blog War - Distress Ink - Day 1

2009-09-14T20:26:00.008+10:00

Hi Everyone,

Well, I'm back with my card creations using Distress Ink.

First of all, distress inks are acid free, non-toxic, fade resistant, water based dyes. They are designed to give an aged, weathered look to papers, photos and more! Currently, we have 24 colours to choose from.

I am quite happy with the way this card turned out.

First of all, I embossed the swirl on the top left hand corner and bottom right hand corner of the card. Then, I used a strip of cardstock and patterned paper to embellish the card. Next, I coloured in the card using Shabby Shutters distress ink and the ink blending tool to create a soft, muted appearance. The card was finished with stamping.

Supplies used:

Ivory Card: 8" x 8"

Bazzill Basics: Petunia

Scrapbooking Paper: Bella - Borders

Ice Stickles: Crystal Ice

Stamp: ATC and Greetings - Happy Birthday

Top Boss Embossing Powder: Ballet Pink

Thanks for your patience in waiting to see what I create.

Cheers, Fiona.

2009-09-03T23:33:00.006+10:00

Hi All,

Thought I would try something a little different today for the ATC. I used a single colour for this ATC.

As an embellishment, I used the "Father's Day" stamp on Shrinky Dinks. This is great for making your own little decorations. You can stamp on it and then heat to shrink it.

Supplies used:

Bazzill Bling: Envy

Bella SB paper: Dots: green

Rhinestones: Green

Rick Rack: Green

Stamp: Father's Day

Stamp: Frame (I will have to check on this later)

Cheers, Fiona.

Adirondack Paint Dabber: Gold

Stamp: Happy Father's Day

Ebony and Ivory SB Paper: Houndstooth and Ribbon

Blog War - ATC - Father's Day Theme

2009-08-31T16:59:00.008+10:00

Hi Girls,

Castaway SB Paper: Oceania, Stripes and Sand

Ribbon: 1/4" Brown, Aqua Stitch

2009-08-31T12:29:00.002+10:00

Hi Everyone,

This weeks blog war is Artist Trading Cards (ATC's) with a Father's Day theme.

Artist Trading Cards must measure 3.5" x 2.5" and are like little works of art.

This will be great as Father's Day is fast approaching and you can use an ATC to decorate your card with.

I will be starting on the ATC's today and will upload a photo later.

Cheers, Fiona.

Blog War - Fluid Chalk Ink - Day 5

2009-08-28T13:01:00.007+10:00

Hi Everyone,

Here is my latest creation using Fluid Chalk Ink. I decided to make up a Father's Day card.

Supplies used:

Oatmeal Card

Ebony and Ivory Paper: Definitions /Spots, Black / Cream Circle, Bracket / Houndstooth.

Stamp: Ebony and Ivory Set: the small square

Stamp: Script Background

Stamp: Happy Father's Day

Stamp: Postmark

Fluid Chalk Ink: Charcoal

Magic Mount

I loved the idea of using different stamps to create a card. I used the magic mount underneath the quote and the greeting.

I used the Crystal Ice Stickles on the squares on the side of the card. This is great to use to create a beautiful, glittery pearl effect.

Don't forget to check out the other girls blogs to see their creations.

Remember, any projects shown on this blog are made exclusively with Kaszazz products.

Cheers, Fiona.

Blog War - Fluid Chalk Ink - Day 3

2009-08-26T11:08:00.005+10:00

Hi Girls,

The technique for this card was taught to me by Carolyn Shaw, a consultant who lives in Grenfell. To make the card you keep stamping around the entire edge of the card, only reinking the stamp after every 2nd stamping. I added Crystal Ice Stickles to the centre of the darkest flowers. A quick card to make but very effective.

Supplies used: Funky Yellow Card

Fluid Chalk Inks: Tangerine and Charcoal

Stamp: Brushed Daisy Small

Stamp: Friends Like Flowers

Thanks for visiting my blog. Don't forget to visit the other girls blogs to see more fantastic creations.

It is great that we belong to a company who has such wonderful products. They make it easy to create.

Happy cardmaking, Fiona.

Hope that you enjoyed my creation.

Till tomorrow, Fiona.

I do love this card. Great for little girls.

Supplies Used:

Hi Girls,

Tomorrow, we start using Fluid Chalk Inks for the Blog War. I will try my best to create 5 projects for the week. I love indulging my passion for using Kaszazz products.

Fluid Chalk Inks come in many beautiful soft colours. These inks stamp and blend like dye inks and dry quickly on most surfaces. You can purchase these inks in Cat's Eyes, Mini Ink Pads, and Large Ink Pads.

Till tomorrow, Fiona.

Blog War - Male Cards - Day 5

2009-08-22T14:30:00.007+10:00

Hi Girls,

I must apologise for being late with my 5th card. But anyway, it is here now!

This is a card we learnt at Conference! It is a simple card but perfect for that man in our lives.

The card is made from white gloss card which has a stamped background. Once the fluid chalk ink is dry, you polish the card with a tissue to bring the colours out.

Supplies Used:

White Gloss Card

Parakeet Bazzill Basics

Rick Rack - Brown

Fluid Chalk Ink - Blue Lagoon, Chestnut Roan and Lime Pastel

Stamp - Mini Messages Uncut Set (9) - Thinking of You

Stamp - Circle Trio

Stamp - Classic Car

This card was part of a 5 Projects Quick Workshop. In this workshop, you make 5 different cards and you learn 5 different techniques. These workshops are so much fun. Why not book into one today.

Cheers, Fiona.

Blog War - Male Cards - Day 4

2009-08-20T21:22:00.009+10:00

Hi Girls,

I have finally finished the 4th male card for the Blog War.

I love how Kaszazz have exclusive papers that you can't purchase in a shop.

I decided to use one of the papers from the Azure range. This paper is just lovely, and coordinates with a number of Bazzill Basics perfectly.

I have also used our corner rounder to create the scallop borders.

See you tomorrow with the final male card in the Blog War.

Cheers, Fiona.
