Kraftin' Kimmie & Simon Says Stamp - Happy Birthday card!

Evening!

Just a super quick post tonight, to share a card I made recently! 

For this card, I grabbed a mix of patterned papers, Cosmo Cricket and Echo Park (I think) and coloured my mermaid (Kraftin' Kimmie) up to match. I fussy cut her out, and placed her on a piece of white card stock, that I'd stamped a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp on to. I added a bow, some paper and resin flowers and some rhinestones. 

Here is the close up -

Some Odd Girl + Simon Says Stamp - Thank You Card

Hi Hi! It's been a little quite in my stores (etsy + madeit) as I had to remove a bunch of stock to try my hand at commissioning my cards to The Emporium, in Newcastle City! If you're local, why not pop in for a last minute mother's day present/card on Friday night, as the store will be open until 8pm 

(I'll be popping in, and checking out all the other handmade goodies!)

Anyway, onto my card to share - 

I inked up Believe from Some Odd Girl and coloured her with my Spectrum Noir Markers. I then fussy cut her out, and selected some patterned papers. The aqua, mint one is from Cosmo Cricket and the purple is from Kaisercraft. I layered them up, doodled around the edges and added some paper and resin flowers. I also added 2 glitter hearts (Lawn Fawn). The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp, and I die cut a speech bubble (MFT Die-Namics)

The Greeting Farm - Blank Card

Hi guys! I've been puttering around, crafting, but not really feeling the need to blog everything... If you've been following me on Instagram you'll have seen my little snapshots of my craftiness. I have also been busy making up custom cards for my store!

This little card was a just playing around card, there was no set sentiment, or theme in mind, I was just getting inky...  

 

I grabbed my papers (from the few pre-made piles) and layered them up on a light aqua card base. The patterned papers are from Sn@p and Cosmo Cricket, and I've doodled around the edges. I bought some ribbon from Spotlight the other day (how could I not, when they were 49c a roll?!) I layered some thin white satin ribbon and then printed my sentiment, which is computer generated. I stamped and coloured my image, which is from The Greeting Farm (my favourite things set), and fussy cut her out. I added a trio of rhinestones and some glitter to her hair baubles.

Bugaboo Stamps - Christmas Card - Aussie Santa

Heya! I've been busy promoting a bunch of madeit stores over on my facebook page today, just in time for Christmas! The handmade community is wonderful, and we're sharing the love using the hashtag #madeitchristmas 

Anyway, on to my card for today!

I started out grabbing this tropical santa (perfect for us in Australia!) I coloured him up, using my Spectrum Noir Markers, and die-cut him out... I grabbed some patterned papers from my stash, Authentique, Cosmo Cricket and some Echo Park. I die cut the red piece, and doodled all around the edges. The sentiment comes from Stampin' Up!

The Greeting Farm - Little guy's birthday card

Heya! I have a couple of cards to share, over the coming days, so keep your eyes peeled :)

This one is a birthday card, that is heading into my store right now!

I started off, by choosing some old papers from my stash... Some REALLY old Bo-Bunny and Cosmo Cricket, that I originally purchased when I first started crafting!! I have used these papers to build the rest of my card, I stamped, and coloured up (spectrum noirs) a TGF image, and trimmed it down to size. I stamped  the sentiment going up the side, and added a trio of rhinestones!

Kraftin' Kimmie - Angry Ballerina

Hi guys, I've been a bit quiet on the old blog again! I had a friend come visit for four days, and we walked around Sydney on Saturday, and then around Newcastle on Monday... I coloured up an image, and it's been on my desk since! I finally popped it on a card this evening...

Isn't this little chicky THE most adorable little one, she is so full of attitude! Love it! Anyway, as always, I coloured her up using my Spectrum Noir Markers, and the made my card. For the patterned papers in this one, I used Cosmo Cricket, and an unnamed paper. I also used my dies to create the main image panel, the background piece and the sentiment strip. I added buttons from my stash, and some pink rhinestones on the sentiment :) Here is a close up

Christmas Card with The Greeting Farm

Hi guys! I have a card to share tonight! I am making an effort to start Christmas cards for my MadeIt store, so this card is another Christmas one!

I used patterned paper from Cosmo Cricket, Baby Jane paper pad and coloured up my Greeting Farm image with my Spectrum Noir Markers. I added highlights using a white gel pen, and then made up my card. I used a crochet star from D-lish (check out their new makeover) and some buttons from my stash. The sentiment is stamped and embossed in silver and has doodling around the edges. Here is a close up

Scrapbooking - Kraft It Up September

Hello! I have a couple of projects to share over the coming days, so keep an eye out for the various bits and bobs :) Here is a scrapbook page I completed this evening -

I used a piece of Stampin' Up!'s Crumbcake (Kraft) card stock, and dolloped some white paint onto the cardstock, with a dry brush, I spread all the paint out until I'd gotten most of it into the area I wanted. I set it aside and waited for it to dry. I collected my patterned paper (Cosmo Cricket and Kaisercraft) and distressed all the edges, as well as sanding them back a little bit. I also cut out a Spellbinders border die out of black cardstock and roughed it up as well. Once the paint was dry, I grabbed a Twiddleybitz mask and sponged Wild Wasabi Ink over the top. I then put together my layout. I found a Kaisercraft acetate shape, and glued it behind my photo and stitched the polka dot paper in place. I then made a journalling circle using Kraft cardstock, white cardstock and two dies. The 'date' has been made with my dymo labeller. Here are some close ups - 

The colours are more true in these photos... I have just shown some of the embellishment clusters (you know I love a good cluster!) 

The title is Hunter Botanical Gardens. 

I am entering this into the Kraft It Up September Challenge, which was to use the following colour palette-

Some Odd Girl - Sweet Thinkin' Mae

Hi Guys! Back today to share my most recent DT post for The Stamp Spot

I used Sweet Thinkin' Mae and coloured her up using my Spectrum Noir Markers
I then set to making my card. I used patterned paper from the Cosmo Cricket Baby Jane 6x6 paper pad, as well as Dot Textured Yellow Cardstock and Grosgrain Ribbon in Aqua for the little ribbon loops a button from my stash and two tiny little tags all tied up with some Twine. I layered it all on some Aquamarine cardstock and called it done :)

If you have any questions about the Spectrum Noir Markers, leave a comment, and I will try to answer. I should also take note of what colours I have used.... lolThis card fits in with the 'Spots Challenge' for this month a The Stamp Spot and also for the Some Odd Girl colour challenge, and the Simon Says Stamp Summer Inspiration challenge Thanks so much for popping by!

Kaisercraft Fine and Sunny

Hi! I've had a craft filled weekend, but a lot of stuff I'm unable to show you yet, due to them being for DT spots.... so keep an eye out over the next few weeks :) This one was a just for fun card, using some brand new stamps I picked up on Saturday. I went into Spotlight to get foam adhesive and glitter, I walked out with a bunch more stuff... Including this stamp set. 

I started out stamping the bird house on white card stock and colouring it up up with (you guessed it) my Spectrum Noir markers. I then die cut it out and a scallop circle slightly bigger in Chocolate Chip, and set it aside. I gathered my papers, in this case, paper from Cosmo Cricket Baby Jane and Echo Park This & That Charming and layered them up on to more Chocolate Chip card stock. I stamped the Stampin' Up! Woodgrain background stamp on Crumbcake card stock, using craft white ink, and gave it a while to dry. While it was drying, I dragged out my sewing machine, and stitched around the patterned paper panels and also the Crumbcake panel. I then added some folded ribbon accents using this gorgeous Twill Ribbon and then a bit of Twine (from the Ribbon Carousel) and a button to finish it off :)

I am entering this into the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge, I wasn't sure at first, whether I'd be able to create something I liked for this, but in the end, I love my card. I am also entering this into the Corrosive Challenge which is to use two or more punches/dies. I used a corner rounder punch, and of course the circle and scallop circles :)

Spectrum Noir Markers in Monochrome and Sarah Kay Stamps

I stamped my Sarah Kay Picnic of Daisies in Memento Black Ink  and coloured her up using all 6 of the colours from the Cool Greys Marker Pack. The great thing I found with these markers is you can start with either the lightest or darkest colour and are able to blend them together by going back over them with the lightest marker (I don't know if that made any sense... hehe) I fussy cut her out at then attached her to a vanilla Spellbinders Label 10 which I had pierced around the edges using a needle. I then set to making my card, I started with a Grey card base and layered it up with some divine patterned paper from Cosmo Cricket, Baby Jane paper pad. I stitched all around the edges, added a strip of silver/grey grosgrain ribbon, then with my hot glue gun, attached three paper flowers and a yellow button. I finished off this card without a sentiment, but added three little mint green rhinestones to balance it all out :)

This card fits the requirements of this months challenge, yellow, grosgrain ribbon and buttons -
