Some Odd Girl - Hello

Hello again! 

I’ve been back in the craft room, over a couple of sittings, to create this bright and fun card to share. 

So to start this card, I coloured this stamp from Some Odd Girl with my copic markers (list below) and set her aside until I had time to make the card. 

I had time this evening, after putting Amy (the baby girl) to bed. I used a white card base, layered with black and then white, before popping on some bright patterned papers, these are all from my box of offcuts!! 

I then used a sticker from Jillibean Soup layered with more black cardstock, and fussy cut out. I have of course popped the main image up using dimensional adhesive and done my signature doodling all around the edges of each layer. 

Here’s a close up for you

Couture Creations - Peony friendship card

Hey there!

Two posts in two days 😲

I have another card to share from my creating last night. We reorganised the shared office just two days ago, making it much easier to get in and craft and feel inspired. 

So, onto the card! This card uses one of my most recent favourite stamps, from Couture Creations “Pretty Peony”. It’s such an easy stamp to colour up. I’ve used my copics in R24, R32 and R22 to colour these two peonies. I also used patterned papers from Avery Elle and Hampton Art to layer. 

The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn “Sophie’s sentiments” and the little bumble bee sticker is from a REALLY old sticker sheet, that I don’t have the name of any more. 

I have used the sketch from Just Add Ink and the 3 colour with black and white stripes from Color my heart with my 3 colours being pink, blue and a touch of yellow, this challenge is teamed up with Double Trouble

I hope to get back into the craft room tonight, so I’ll have something to share tomorrow!

Until then, have a great day!!

Gorjuss and MFT Stamps - Friendship Card

Hi Hi!

I'm sharing a quick card with you today, one that I made this past weekend 

For this card, I dug out some older stamps, that I haven't coloured in a VERY long time. These are two different Gorjuss Stamps, coloured using my Copic markers, and Spectrum Noir Markers. I layered it up using patterned papers from Simple Stories. I used a doily and the sentiment is from My Favourite Things. I also added some adhesive gel dots. 

Here's the close up

Some Odd Girl - Friendship Card

Hi guys! Sorry for the delay, but I do have the other card I made to share!

He'll be popping into my etsy, and madeit stores tomorrow! 

I received this new cutie in the mail last week, and just had to ink up the little guy! I started by picking out my background paper, which is from Lawn Fawn (which I bought ages ago, and never really got around to using!), and picking some papers that matched, from Echo Park, and Kaisercraft. I added some doodling, and then popped my little guy on to the card. I tried to keep this card non-gender specific...

Stampin' Up! Friends Never Fade

Hiya! I have another card to share today, that doesn't feature my coloured people stamps!!! I'm trying to re-broaden my crafty horizons, and stretch myself a bit... So, here it is -

I started with a plain piece of Very Vanilla card, faintly drew a curving line, and stamped the flower images from Friends Never Fade, and the circle from Just Believe, in a range of inks - Baja Breeze, Certainly Celery, Wisteria Wonder and Rich Razzleberry. I then zig zag stitched around the edge, and embossed another piece of Vanilla, and attached it. The main image panel is the "sentiment stamp" from Friends Never Fade, and I have cut around it. To finish off the card, I used a bit of stickles on the main image panel, the last Razzleberry flower on the right and the first Wisteria flower on the left.
Here is a close up - 

I was inspired by the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger, and took the colours, texture, stitching and theme of flowers/circles. The Tuesday Morning Sketches had me thrown for a bit, but I think I've made it work, with a rotation... And, to top it all off, I'm popping this into the Anything Goes Linky at Simon Says Stamp

I have popped a few cards into my Madeit Store, as well as keeping everyone updated on my Facebook Page (check to see if you're the giveaway winner!) 

Stampin' Up! Delicate Doilies and I create a card for a friend

I've been a little bit quiet again, but it's not for lack of creating, I assure you! I actually got my sewing machine out last night (replaced the needle) and sat down and did some sewing. It is the first time since I was in high school I've sewn anything other than paper! But, before I did that, I made a card. I've been longing to get back into my clean and simple cards, lately everything I make has had lots of layers, and stuff on it..... this one has big open white space... *sigh* "I'm home!"

It is a Very Vanilla card base, layered with Pink Pirouette and another piece of Very Vanilla, which has been stamped with the doilies from Delicate Doilies in Blushing Bride, So Saffron and Crumbcake. I then stamped the sentiment from Hello You in Crumbcajke and added three little pearls. 

I am entering this into three challenges, the first is the sketch from Less is More, which was a super fun one, and one I will use again, I'm sure.... Next up is the Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger, Winter Blossoms, which inspired me with the colours and the shapes and overlapping flowers, finally the Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes challenge

Thanks for dropping around :)
