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

The Greeting Farm - Shaped birthday card

Evening,

Just a quick share tonight, before I head to bed... 

For this card, I die cut a pennant shape, using the Silhouette *LOVE* and then grabbed some patterned papers, from a no name stack, and a Kaisercraft stack.I doodled around the edges, and added some lime green ribbon. The sentiment is made up of two different brands, Simon Says Stamp and PTI. The main image is a The Greeting Farm stamp, mixed with a Gorjuss stamp, and has been coloured using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I added more doodling, and finished off the card with some paper roses, and a resin daisy.

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.

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.

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.

The Greeting Farm - Teen Birthday Card

Hi guys! I was up WAY too early the other morning, so had plenty of time to create! This card is heading into my stores (links on sidebar) this evening. Anyway, onto the card! 

I started by stamping, and colouring the Creeper Crew stamp, using my Spectrum Noir markers, then die cutting her out. I grabbed some paper from My Minds Eye and doodled around the edges. the bow is made from satin ribbon, and the sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. I used MFT die-namic to create the glitter stars.

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...  

Here are the close ups -

I'm not obsessed with Some Odd Girl, I swear...

Hi guys, I've been creating again, this time with.... Some Odd Girl... You really shouldn't be surprised by now, haha... I have two cards to share, using the same layout, but are very different cards -

For this one, which went to my little niece today, I used the digital stamp, horsey Mae and coloured it in with my Spectrum Noirs. I used patterned paper from a no name stack, as well as Webster's Pages. I also used a bunch of loveliness from D-Lish Scraps in paper flowers, and resin roses. I used a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp - here is the close up -

The second card, is Puppy Toby, which is also a digital stamp. I coloured him with my Spectrum Noir markers as well, and used papers from Sn@p and Echo Park. The sentiment on this card is from Lawn Fawn. 

And the close up - 

I'm entering both cards in to

From the Heart Stamps - Thank You Card - Pelican

Hi Hi!

I almost forgot that I needed to send my Nan a thank you card, for our trip to Sydney last week, so today, after finishing an assignment, I sat down and created one, fairly quickly.

I also wanted to let you know... I have a coupon code available for my Etsy store! 

15% off ALL orders with coupon code ASSIGNMENTCLEARANCE - Until June 1st.

Anyway, onto my card!

I started off with the pelican digital stamp, by From the Heart Stamps, he's been sitting on my desk for weeks, waiting to be coloured! My nan absolutely loves pelicans, and paints them quite a lot on her pottery, so she'll really appreciate this guy!

I used my Spectrum Noir markers to colour him up, and the fussy cut him out. Once that was done, I grabbed some really old My Minds Eye patterned papers and doodled around the edges of them. I stamped the sentiment (Simon Says Stamp) and added a wooden heart, sequins and bling to finish off the card.

From the Heart Stamps - Doggy Birthday

Hey Hey! Just a quick almost midnight post, as I gave myself a break from the uni lectures I've been catching up on, and crafted... 

If you've ever wondered what my desk looks like, while crafting, this is it 

Anyway, onto my card - 

I used the digital stamp from From the Heart Stamps, coloured up with my Spectrum Noir Markers, and patterned papers from Teresa Collins and Simple Stories. I doodled around the edges, and die-cut the main image, leaving the balloons free to "float"and also die cut a circle. I then added some buttons, twine and a sentiment, which is from Simon Says Stamp...

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 -

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)
