Some Odd Girl - Birthday Card

Hi Hi! I've been terrible at this blogging thing recently. I haven't been crafting much either... But, this card was screaming to be made. 

I started by grabbing some patterned paper from two different Kaisercraft paper pads, and the brown one is from American Crafts. I coloured up my Some Odd Girl image, using my Spectrum Noir markers, and fussy cut her out. I then layered up my papers, and doodled around the edges. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp, and I've used paper flowers, a MFT Die-Namic feather and some sequins to finish off this card.

Here is the close up

Scrap Page 2 - The Irony...

Hey Hey! 

I said I'd be back to share another layout (I'm on a bit of a roll, so be prepared for more!) 

Here is the second layout I did last night

For this one, I took a couple of pics of Lachlan in which he is crying... And cut a couple of frame using mums Silhouette (God I love that thing!), I then grabbed some paints (something I never do!) and painted, stamped a background. I added a strip of washi tape, and some patterned paper (Kaisercraft). I added some arrows from Studio Calico, a couple of flair, sequins and resin stars. The title says - "The Irony was not lost!!" it's tough to see, because of the glittered thickers...

D-Lish Scraps - 5th Birthday Extravaganza Challenge 2

Scrapbooking Lachlan Mason

Hiya! I got a bit of craft mojo last night, and decided to start scrapbooking, and I got two layouts done!

Here is the first one -

I started by printing a bunch of photos off, last night and sat with my papers surrounding me, I found some Amy Tangerine (American Crafts) papers, and paired them with some Teresa Collins. I added an October Afternoon journalling card, and an itty bitty craft bag (D-lish Scraps). I added a die cut anchor (thanks mum, for letting me borrow your silhouette, I'm in love!) Then, I added some embellishments, in the way of tickets, flair and chipboard (mostly from D-Lish). I added my title - Lachlan Mason using stickers.

Some Odd Girl - To my Friend

Hi Guys! I have been sick recently, so haven't been motivated to get anywhere near my craft desk, although, this weekend, I plan on getting there and scrapbooking lots, so hopefully that'll bring back my card mojo!

Anyway, on to todays card - 

I started by colouring Mae with my Spectrum Noir Markers, and then fussy cutting her out. I added some doodling, then set her aside. I grabbed patterned papers from American Crafts and layered them up, adding some more doodling. I added a doily and a sentiment circle, as well as a die cut leave before adding some paper and a resin rose.

Some Odd Girl - New Baby Cards

Hi guys, I have had to focus on creating some cards for my stores this week (etsy and madeit) So, I decided I needed to restock some of my new baby cards!

I started by colouring up the Baby Kaylee digital stamp twice, almost exactly the same, using my Spectrum Noir Markers, the only thing I changed was the baby blanket. I then doodled around the edges and die cut them into a circle. I grabbed patterned papers from American Craft for both cards and doodled around the edges, both cards also got a die cut doily border. I stamped the sentiments (from Simon Says Stamp) and added some ribbon to both cards.

Hello Sunshine - DLish Scraps Inspiration Challenge - Scrapbooking

Hello again! I have a scrapbook page to share with you all today! One of me, and my lovely man.

For this layout, I bought the D-Lish Just Add Paper kit, which I paired with some American Craft frame paper, as well as some Bella Blvd silver embossed black card stock. I also added a couple of paper doilies, and a silver bow, instead of the pink one that came in the kit. 

From the inspiration board, I took my cues from the colour scheme, the frames, sketch and the butterflies.

Here is the collage of close ups -

Some Odd Girl - Penguin Birthday Card

Hi Hi!

I made a birthday card recently, for the most lovely guy I know... 

Here it is - 

I started with the Penguins, from Some Odd Girl, stamped them up and coloured them using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I added a bow in the girl penguins feathers, using a tiny scrap of American Crafts patterned paper. I doodled around the border, then selected my paper. The orange polka dot one is from Kaisercraft, and the blue is through the bigshot, using a chevron embossing folder. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp, and I added some embellishments, buttons and a resin Freckled Fawn star.

Scrapbooking - Park Play

Hiya! I have a scrapbook page to share today!

I decided to scrapbook some photos of my nephew and I at the park. It's the first time I've been able to play with him, run around, and just be silly, so it needed to be documented. I used patterned paper from Amy Tan (American Crafts) and paired it with some super old stickers from Sassfrass Lass, some washi tape, more stickers, a flair button and some wooden embellishments, coloured with my Spectrum Noirs.

Some Odd Girl - Octopus Birthday Card for Dad!

HEY HEY!

I've been crafting again, and just haven't gotten around to photographing/blogging/uploading them yet... I have a card going into my stores (Madeit, and Etsy) tonight, so keep an eye out!

Anyway, on to the card for my dad

I started with the Octopus stamp, which came in my last Some Odd Girl Order, (he jumped into my cart, before I had a chance to say "Stop, don't, come back"), I coloured him up with my Spectrum Noir Markers, and then set him aside, I grabbed some patterned papers (from American Crafts), and doodled around the outside. I added a strip of ribbon and a sentiment. The anchor is from the stamp set, I've embossed it in silver.

The Greeting Farm - Hello and Thank You cards

Hi guys! I got to craft on Sunday night, and sat and created two similar cards! These little gals will be in my etsy and Madeit stores hopefully tonight. So, keep an eye out.... Now, onto the cards!

I started out colouring up Hood here, but chose a purple cape, instead of the usual red. I then grabbed some papers, from American Crafts and layered them up with some Perfect Plum card stock, which I'd run through the big shot, using my Hexagon Embossing plate. I added some ribbon, and a trio of flowers. The sentiment on this one is My Favourite Things. 

The second card I made, with the leftover paper from the first one, I stamped and coloured Beauty using my Spectrum Noir Markers, then using a stamp from Simon Says Stamp, stamped the sentiment. All the details on this one are the same as the one above...

Some Odd Girl - Digital Stamp - Grands - Anniversary Card

Hi guys! I've got free postage (worldwide) in both my etsy and madeit stores this weekend! Just use coupon code MUMSDAY to checkout, with free shipping!

Anyway, I was asked to make an anniversary card, for a sixtieth (!) wedding anniversary... 

 

I started out, by buying, printing and colouring the Some Odd Girl digital stamp - Grand Couple. As usual, I used my Spectrum Noir Markers, and then fussy cut the image out. I then grabbed some patterned papers, from American Crafts, and a no named brand pad and trimmed them down. I mounted the patterned papers on some Island Indigo SU cardstock and doodled around the edges. I created the sentiment, by using my printer and some number stamps, and gold embossing the 60. I added a smattering of sequins to finish off the card.

A first birthday Card - With a Cow!

Hi ya! I had a custom order pop up the other day from my etsy store (you can also order them at my madeit store), the request was for a first birthday card, featuring a cow, or a peanut... This is the result!

The image is a digi stamp, but I'm not sure what the company is, as it has been in my collection forever, and it's not sorted very well! I coloured her up with my spectrum noir markers, and then die-cut a circle. The patterned papers are from American Crafts, (Amy Tan) and I cut them into a sunburst pattern. I added the cow, some doodling and the sentiment (computer generated) and attached some paper flowers and a resin rose.

The Greeting Farm - Easter Card

Hi Again!

I have another Easter card to share with you today!

I did this card backwards to how I usually do my cards, I selected the papers I wanted to use first. I used patterned paper from American Crafts, and Amy Tangerine. I trimmed them all out, doodled around the edges, and then coloured up my The Greeting Farm image, using my Spectrum Noir Markers.

I printed the sentiment from my computer, and die cut it out, before popping it up with dimensional adhesive.

I added a couple of flat back pearls and called this card done.

The Greeting Farm - Owl Thank You Card

Hi guys! 

I've been super busy, getting new cards (Valentine's, Baby, etc) into my store! With the new year, came a lot of new inspiration! So, pop over to the store and grab a card or two! If you're a blog reader, take 20% off of your order with coupon code BlogLove until next Monday!

Anyway, on to my card today - 

I started with a bunch of scrap pieces of patterned paper on my desk for this card, and grouped them together, until I was happy with this combination, the grey is from American Crafts, then from the top down, We R Memory Keepers, Echo Park and American Crafts. I trimmed the papers down until they were all around the same size (really accurate.... haha) and then doodled around the edges. The main image is from The Greeting Farm, it's an old, retired set that I hadn't used the owl from! I coloured him up, using my spectrum noir markers, and stamped a sentiment, from Hero Arts below.

Saturated Canary - Baby Girl Card

Hi Again!
I've had a fairly relaxing weekend, before work this week being super full on! I have also been kept busy with the journals in my store, going a bit nuts, in the lead up to Christmas! I have made a couple of new baby cards too... This one below has been added to my store recently too! 

I started by picking out my patterned papers, which in this case are from American Crafts, and then grabbed my digital stamp, from Saturated Canary, and coloured her up. I used my spectrum noir markers, and then die-cut her out. I doodled around the borders, and added a sentiment from Stampin' Up, and added some really pretty lace, from Kaszazz.
