Hey Everyone

I’ve joined in with the tree challenge at Global Design Project today. I love tree challenges as much as I love flower challenges!

The card I created is for my nephew and his partners’ baby shower. I created a neutral coloured card as we’re not sure if they’ve having a boy or a girl.

When I think of baby cards, I reach for my fav stamp set with the cutest images for a baby – it’s a retired set called Fable Friends.

I coloured the images up with Smoky Slate and Parakeet Party Blends. The images were fussy cut out and layered with trees cut with dies from the Majestic Mountain Dies. I added some strips of Parakeet Party and Basic Gray Cardstock to a piece of DSP from the Abigail Rose DSP. I then added a die cut circle of DSP, also from the Abigail Rose DSP.

Around these layers, I tied a bow of White Crinkled Seam Binding and added three Classic Matte Dots.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

It’s time for a new challenge at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge for you is to:

I chose night and silhouette for my card.

To create the background of my card I took a Blending Brush and the following ink colours:

  • – Tahitian Tide
  • Orchid Oasis
  • Starry Sky

After my background was blended, I took the White Craft Stampin’ Ink Refill bottle and added some ink to a block. I then took my Water Painter and flicked some ink onto the blended background. This created a starry background on the night scene.

The lighthouse I added to the card was cut with the Lighthouse Dies. The clouds were then cut from clouds dies in the Lighthouse Dies set. To create a more realistic scene, I added some trees cut with the Majestic Mountain Dies. Each of trees were daubed around the edges with Basic Gray Ink.

Some Linen Thread and a sentiment finished off the card.

The team at Just Add Ink have created awesome cards. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

It’s time for a new challenge over at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge is an inspiration picture challenge. Take a look at the gorgeous pic that you can choose colours, elements or images from:

I decided to throw a little bit of everything in from the inspiration pic. The Christmas tree (cut with the Majestic Mountain Dies), the plaid pattern (the deer is cut from the retired Peaceful Prints DSP), hessian (retired Braided Linen Trim) and a chalkboard (embossed white sentiment on Basic Black Cardstock).

Here’s my card:

Freshly Made Sketches #512

Hey Everyone

There’s a new sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches for you to play along with. This week our sketch has been designed by the super talented Kim Singdahlsen.

The inspiration and starting point for this card came from the tree that Kim added to the sketch. Straight away I decided the tree die cut made with the Majestic Mountain Dies would work well. Initially I was thinking that I would make a Christmas card but decided to change it up and go with a baby card instead.

I haven’t made a baby card in ages, so I took out the Count On Me Stamp Set and coloured up this very cute bear image with Crumb Cake Blends. My Color Lifter got a real workout so that my bear ended up with a watercoloured look. The heart was coloured with the Bermuda Bay Blends. Again the heart got a workout with the Color Lifter.

Looking for DSP with matching tones to my tree and heart, I found these pieces of DSP from the Penguin Playmates DSP pack. This DSP was available for a short time during Sale-A-Bration, but is now retired. I matted both pieces with Soft Succulent Cardstock.

I added a White Crinkled Seam Binding ow and three Elegant Faceted Gems to the Basic White Cardstock. I also added some Sahara Sand Ink shading to the background with the Blending Brush.

The team at Freshly Made Sketches have created wonderful cards with this weeks sketch. Make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they’ve created.

Freshly Made Sketches #504

Welcome to my blog and a new sketch for you to play along with at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch has been designed by Karren Johnson. Karren’s sketch is as fabulous as her cards!

I was looking for something different to add to this card. I decided to create a mountain scene to fill the space on my mini slimline card.

The mountain images that I have added to my card are from the Mountain Air Stamp Set. I gave them colour with a combination of Crumb Cake and Soft Suede Blends. The mountains have been stamped twice to create the mountain range across the card. The join where the images meet was hidden strategically behind the two tree die cuts.

I felt my background needed a little something, so I took a Blending Brush and Balmy Blue Ink and added a skyline behind the mountains. I then added a strip of DSP, a thin strip of Basic Black Cardstock and some Crumb Cake Cardstock.

I then added two strips of Linen Thread and a knot, a sentiment and two Mossy Meadow Cardstock trees cut with the Majestic Mountain Dies.

The girls at Freshly Made Sketches have created awesome cards. Head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

I had some time today to play along with pretty combination of colours at the Global Design Project.

The Count On Me Stamp Set has been sitting on my desk un-inked, so I decided it needed some ink love today.

So you might wonder why I went with a blue bear? I went with a blue bear as I remember a kids show years ago that had a blue bear and I figured if it was alright for TV, then a blue bear should be fine on a card. The bear was given colour with the Balmy Blue Blends. The heart the bear is holding has been coloured with the Pale Papaya Blends.

The little fox image has been coloured with the Pale Papaya Blends and the koalas watercoloured with Pear Pizzazz Ink. Koalas aren’t green, but I had to use the colours given to me. You could say they’ve maybe overdosed on eucalyptus leaves to be that shade?

The background of the card was shaded with Balmy Blue Ink and a Blending Brush. The Basic White Cardstock die cut trees were cut with the Majestic Mountain Dies. I chose the sentiment from the Penguin Place Stamp Set purely because of it’s neat little size – it worked best for my card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Tag Buffet Card

Posted on by

Hey Everyone

I managed to create another card today just for a bit of fun. I was playing around with possible cards to mass produce and ended up with this card. Not sure if I’ll keep with this one, but I’m thinking about it.

The stamp set I’ve used today is called Tag Buffet Stamp Set. I gave the bauble and stocking a quick colour and fussy cut them out. I then cut two trees with the Majestic Mountain Dies. I added a piece of DSP from the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper pack and matted it with tilted Whisper White and Pool Party Cardstocks.

The sentiment I’ve adhered to my card is also from the Tag Buffet Stamp Set. I think I’ve said this before, that I love this stamp set just for this sentiment. Three Metallic Pearls finished off my card.

Thanks for stopping by.
