OK I have found a new fave!! I am so proud of this one I made last night! I cased parts of this card from Marelle!
How cute are the chickies!! This is my first card from Best of Cluck and I made three of these. Two for Thank You cards for a Hostess and a friend and another for me to keep! This will be a great set for Easter next year and I intend on doing the little chickies in all different Easter colours.
This card was much the same as the one below. I had a few issues getting ideas and didn't stray far past my tried and tested colour scheme but its cute and thats the main thing! As simple as it is, it still took me ages to think up while I was away from home sweet home.
I love this card, its simple and there are only three colours but it works! I made this one while I was in Townsville on the weekend and it took almost two days to finish. I was having inspiration issues outside of my normal habitat!
This is my first little Christmas Roo and I am pretty glad to say... I LOVE HIM!
I made this little gift box that holds M&M's and Maltesers for a friend at work called Kachina who is leaving us this week. I wanted to make something that she could take to her new job and put on her desk... she already has a pen holder but if you ask me... this one is way better!!!
I used Holiday Wishes for a similar card to the one below. I made them both last night and I was having a few inspiration issues. The red layer has VersaMark pressies stamped all over it.
I made this Christmas card last night with my new stamp set called Holiday Wishes. I have to say, I LOVE Christmas cards simply because you can use great colours. I just love Red and Green.
OK so Stampin' Up! went above and beyond to bring us this great stamp set this year... how cool is a surfin' santa?! This set is fantastic.. there is the big guy here and also a gorgeous koala on a candy cane and the cutest kangaroo with arms full of pressies... what more can you want from a Christmas stamp set! Apart from maybe a stamp featuring the original double pluggers and a barbie! OK... yeaaaahh thats goin' too far!
YES fellow stampers... the season for going stamp crazy is coming and there is no harm in being prepared!! GOOOO CHRISTMAS!! I am feeling so Merry about my new Christmas sets that I will be over Christmas completely by December! This one is using Sleigh Full of Toys... not that we need sleighs in Australia... not to worry though! I used Elegant Eggplant, Real Red and Garden Green on this card and watercoloured using classic ink pads on Stampin' Up! Watercolour paper.
How sweet is this watering can??? It's from the Nice & Easy Notes set that I managed to score for free for being part of the Hooray for Hostesses promotion that is running until September 15! I just LOVED watercolouring it on the Stampin' Up! watercolour paper (its gold that stuff and makes watercolouring SO EASY!) The other colours I used are Ballet Blue, Brilliant Blue, Regal Rose and So Saffron.
I made this card for a workshop that I have tomorrow. Its using the Stampin' Write markers to colour different areas of the stamp in Chocolate Chip, Ballet Blue, Rose Red and Pumpkin Pie. I used Print Pattern for the background. Simple but cute.
Ok I realise its been quite a while since I have last posted a card that I have made but the truth is I have been REALLY busy! Last weekend my downline Ruth, and I had a Spring Mini Catalogue Launch and made three cards each for 28 people! It was a huge day and this is one of the cards we made using Bodacious Bouquet and Canvas print. The colours are Elegant Eggplant, Old Olive and So Saffron.
My very first attempt at a joy fold card! It worked out well and I am happy with it. I made it for my very first stamping class tomorrow night.
This little one was cased from the 06-07 Idea Book & Catalogue. I changed the stamp to be one from Simple Somethings. I am really happy I managed to find another way to use this set. I can't say I have made many cards using it. The cardstock is Elegant Eggplant, Certainly Celery, Lavender Lace and Whisper White. I used Close to Cocoa ink to distress the white and a blender and ink pads in the cardstock colours to watercolour. The sentiment is on the punch from the new tab punch in the Spring Mini catalogue.
For a little box that looks simple it had me stumped for some time! The folding bit was a bit tricky to work out but once I did get it I wondered how it could possibly stumped me for so long! I used Scribble This on So Saffron, Regal Rose, Basic Black cardstock and Certainly Celery, So Saffron, Regal Rose and Rose Red ink. The handle was made using the word window punch.
GOTTA LOVE THE LITTLE SHRIMP! I love this card. I used the word window punch to make the ticket corners and distressed all of the edges of the card stock. The stamp set is Crab & Company and the cardstock colours are Regal Rose, So Saffron, Chocolate Chip and Certainly Celery.
As you could imagine, there is glitter everywhere over the house and me from top to bottom!! I used Scribble This and some bits and pieces from Blooming with Happiness for this card. I clear embossed Craft White ink for the flower, water coloured it using a blender pen and Apricot Appeal and Regal Rose ink then applied heat and stick powder and dazzling diamonds over the whole flower. The cardstock colours are Almost Ameythst, Apricot Appeal, Certainly Celery and Regal Rose.
So the truth behind this card is I just wanted to use the little shrimp and didn't know what to do with him. Also, you gotta love how when you see people make cards from sea creatures like little crabs and shrimps that they always do them in their cooked colours! The truth behind that is that, well, who wants to see a cute little brown dirt coloured crab!
Who doesn't love Sandy Claws! He is so cute and from the new set called Crab and Company in the new Spring Mini Catalogue on sale 1st of August. I used Really Rust ink and a blender pen to colour the little guy in and the cardstock used was Garden Green, Real Red, Really Rust and Whisper White.
