Some Odd Girl - Beach Mae - Birthday Card

Hi Hi! 

I have a bright, sunshine-y card to share today, which is to help me out of the winter funk. Today is Winter Solstice and it's extremely windy, and cold here. Anyway, summer dreaming with this card

I started with the digital stamp - Beach Mae from Some Odd Girl (she looks to be retired!) and coloured her up using my spectrum noir and copic markers. I then fussy cut her out, and set her aside, so I could make the card.

I used patterned papers from Lawn Fawn, Fancy Pants and a non-branded paper pad

I added some paper and resin flowers, and some polka dots.
The sentiment is from My Favourite Things, and Simon Says Stamp

My Favourite Things - Cards - Penguins in Paradise and Woof You

Hi Guys! I've recently started holidays from work (yesterday was my last day) so I got home and crafted. I made two cards and will share both with you today!
Both, are fun, bright cards, but we will start with this one -

For this card, I used a new My Favourite Things stamp set in my collection, called Penguins in Paradise, stamped and coloured using Copic Markers. I used papers from Lawn Fawn, and a no name brand paper pad I bought at our local cheap shop. I added some doodling, some black resin dots and some bright pink ribbon.

I used another MFT Stamp for this one - Woof You and coloured her, using copics, and paper pieced her overalls. I've used patterned papers from My Minds Eye and the same orange (cheap shop purchase) from the previous card. I popped some yellow ribbon on, as well as some paper flowers.

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

Scrapbooking

Hi guys! I'm back to share a scrapbook page I did last week, but have only just had a chance to photograph and edit!

For this layout, I started with some light pink card stock, which I used turquoise paint on, with a mask. I then grabbed some hot pink patterned paper from Kaisercraft, and mixed it with another patterned paper by Webster's Pages. I added some embellishments which include mixed paper, and fabric flowers, flair, a wooden frame, and a doily. My title is created using my silhouette, and a dymo labeller.

Scrapbooking - Nick and I Sydney Trip

Hi guys! I have another scrap page to share, before hopefully sharing a card tomorrow (if I get a chance to photograph it!)

Here is the layout

For this layout, I started with a black card stock base, and painted up a background using shiny gold paint, and a mask. I then grabbed one of my 3 ink sprays and sprayed some gold around. I added some circles using some white paint on a little plastic lid. I added 4 different patterned papers, from Kaisercraft, and Echo Park, a journalling card from October Afternoon, some washi tape, a flair, paper clip and some twine. The tittle is "Happy" which I coloured using my spectrum noir markers and added some gold paint dots. I added a Kaisercraft chipboard window, which I painted and some flowers from D-Lish Scraps.

Scrapbooking - This way to coffee!

Hiya! I have a couple more scrapbook layouts to share, then, hopefully I'll be back to card creating soon!

Here is another layout -

For this layout, I used a photo from my Sydney trip with my older sister. I found an awesome sign, that says Keep calm and Drink Coffee, and NEEDED a pic with it... I used patterned papers from Kaisercraft, paired with a whole bunch of D-Lish Flowers. I didn't realise how many different kinds I had! I added a flair button and some stickers to finish off this layout.

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.

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 - Hipster Mae!

Hi guys! Sorry for the quietness on the old blog, I've been spending a lot of time, out and about, and haven't had much time to create, except for custom orders! I have a few cards going up in store today (etsy and madeit) so keep an eye on the stores! Anyway, on to my card

This is Hipster Mae, I had a craft day with a friend recently, where I stamped and coloured a bunch of images... this was one of them. I think she needs to be added to my stash! Anyway, I've used my Spectrum Noir markers, and patterned papers from Echo Park. The sentiment is a mix of Some Odd Girl and Simon Says Stamp.

Some Odd Girl - Mother's Day!

Hi again! I created this card the other night, I was completely inspired by a conversation in The Some Odd Girl Facebook group, about the stamp - Renew...

Here is my card - 

For this card, I selected some soft, girly papers, the pink one is from Carte Bella and I layered it up with some woodgrain from Kaisercraft (which I popped some ribbon behind). I then coloured up Renew and fussy cut her out. Once that was done, I die-cut a circle, stamped the sentiment (Kaisercraft) and attached Renew using foam adhesives. I added some paper and resin flowers as well as some pearls.

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 & Bugaboo Stamps Birthday Cards

Hi guys! I've been popping things in, and changing things up, in both my madeit and etsy stores, so pop over for a look!

Last night, I was up late, creating a couple of birthday cards... One just for fun, the other because a friend is celebrating their 29th birthday today, and I procrastinated creating ;)

Here is the first one - 

I had to play with my all new patterned papers, from Kaisercraft (OMG, this is an amazing collection!) I grabbed the woodgrain paper, and the giant flower one, and the other paper is Carte Bella. I layered them up, and then decided on the stamp I wanted to use, which is from The Greeting Farm and coloured her up using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I popped her into one of the polaroid frames, from Kaisercraft, and stamped the sentiments, which are a mix of Some Odd Girl and My Favourite Things. I added a bunch of paper and resin flowers. Here is the close up

This one is being entered into -

and

The Greeting Farm - FFF Photo Inspiration

Now, on to the second birthday card, it's a lot different ;)

I printed out the digital stamp, from Bugaboo Stamps, and coloured it up using my Spectrum Noir Markers, mounted it on some blue paper from Echo Park, which I'd printed the sentiment straight onto. 

I added a few rhinestones, and some doodling, and called this card done!

Scrapbooking!

It's April 1st, and that means April Fool's Day! It's not a joke, I am actually posting something! I know it's been a little over a week, since I posted anything, I've been a bad blogger!

But, to make it up to you, I do have a scrapbook page to share!

I started out with printing my photos, and then looking through my paper stash for the colour purple... of course, I had nothing! So, I decided on this chevron paper from Webster's Pages and, cut it in a sunburst pattern from the corner. It's a bit "off" as I just cut it using scissors! I then went through my stash, and found some die-cuts from Teresa Collins, for the frame, etc, and notes.  

I used other stickers, from My Minds Eye, Bella Blvd, and Jillibean Soup. I used a bunch of flowers, paper and resin, as well as a resin birdy, from D-Lish scraps
