The Greeting Farm - Get Well Soon

Hi again! 

This is another card I've made this week 

For this card, I dug out a stamp from The Greeting Farm, which is one of my favourites. I love her beanie and teddy bear. I coloured her up, using both Spectrum Noir and Copic Markers, and fussy cut her out. I used papers from Echo Park and My Minds Eye, and the sentiment is from My Favourite Things. I sat her on a doily, to create a girly feel. 

Here is the close up

C.C. Designs Get Well Soon Card

Hi hi! 

I've been creating again, trying to get as much done as I can, before uni takes over my life next week, and wedding planning gets over the top too!

Anyway, here's my card

For this one, I finally inked up a stamp I've had for almost a year, Nurse, from C.C. Designs, She's a cutie, and quite easy to colour. I used my spectrum noir markers, as well as copics for this image. I have used some really old My Minds Eye patterned papers (that I've almost finished the pad!) And layered them up, I have doodled around the edges, as always. I finished off the card with a trio of flowers, and a sentiment from Lawn Fawn.

Here's the close up

Stampin' Up! Kindness Matters - Get Well Soon

Hi Again! Look at this, a blog post a day since last Wednesday!
Are you as surprised as me? 

I have a card to share today, that features ZERO colouring from my Spectrum Noirs! or, my ever popular doodled borders! Here it is- 

I started out with some vanilla cardstock, stamped my butterflies, from Kindness Matters in Versamark, and embossed them in gold. I did a bunch of sponging in Crumbcake, and popped the butterflies on to some crumbcake patterned paper. I added a stamped doily border (also from Kindness Matters) and the sentiment is from Kaszazz. I tied a big, vanilla, seam binding ribbon bow, and added some pearls to finish this card off.

Here is the close up -

There She Goes - Dance and I create a Get Well Soon Card

You know those crafters out there, who everything they do looks exactly how you want your cards to look? I have a couple of card idols.... one of them is shabby, one is purely clean and simple, and one, who does what I like to call 'clean vintage'. If you participate in a lot of challenges, like I do, you've probably spied her around... Narelle Farrugia. Her style is absolutely breathtaking, all clean lines and vintagey.... (who even knew they went together???) Anyway, there is a point to my swoon.... I used inspiration from Narelle's cards to create....

I used a Basic Gray card base, layered with Crumbcake and a piece of patterned paper (this was an off cut, and I'm not sure which company it is from!) I then tied some bright yellow ribbon and stamped the flowers from There She Goes with StazOn on So Saffron and Daffodil Delight card and cut them out. The sentiment panel is cut with my Labels 4 Nestabilities and sponged in Basic Grey and stamped with the leaf image from Dance, the main sentiment is from the Stampin' Up! set Sincere Salutations. 

I am entering this into the CR84FN Colour challenge and the upcoming sketch from ICSketches

Stampin' Up! Thanks for Caring and Beautiful Wings Embossolit make Get Well Cards easy!

I have been sitting in my craft room today, avoiding doing work for university, I succeeded in doing any study, and used a set that I haven't used as much as I wanted to when it first came out.

There is a couple of things on this card that will be retiring on the 31st of July, the first is the sentiment which is from Thanks for Caring and the script background which is from my favourite stamp set from the Autumn/Winter Mini catalogue, French Foliage. This card started off as a plain Whisper White card base, I have then used some Designer Series Paper from Elegant Soiree (these papers will leave us on the 31st of August.) I have used some Perfect Plum card and the Eyelet Border Punch which I have tied some Pretty in Pink Grosgrain Ribbon around. The sentiment is coloured using my Stampin' Write Markers in Perfect Plum, Pretty in Pink and Baja Breeze. The Decorative Label Punch has been used on some Perfect plum card which has been stamped with the script stamp from French Foliage. I have cut out some butterflies using my Bigshot and the Beautiful Wings embossolit in Pretty in Pink and sprayed them with a mixture of rubbing alcohol and Shimmer Paint in White, to give them a little glitter. I think the sentiment works really well for a card for someone who is feeling a little under the weather.

I am entering this into three challenges, the first is the Stamping 411 Sketch which I actually struggled a little bit with this week, the next challenge is the SUO Challenge blogs Get Well Theme and finally, my colour inspiration came from Moxie Fab's Tuesday Trigger.

Anywho... Thanks for dropping in!

Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Strength & Hope creates beautiful Get Well Soon Cards

I have had a quiet-ish day at home today, which included some gardening (very weird for me), and some card making, I considered making cookies, but that seemed a little too domesticated, so I made another card....

This uses one of new favourite stamp sets from the Stampin' Up! Autumn/Winter mini catalogue out now! This stamp set is called Strength & Hope ($35.95 Wood, $28.95 Clear) and what I think is most awesome is, that $2 from the sale off each of these stamp sets is donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. With this card, I have used Baja Breeze, Certainly Celery and Pretty in Pink. I have used inspiration from the Less is More challenge blog, which this week is to make a card with the elements being off-centre. I will probably end up making at least one more card for the challenge, so head on over, and check out the other entrants submissions!

Until next time, 

Happy Stamping!
