Some Odd Girl - Lady Bug Tia

Hi Guys! I have a quick card to share today. 

For this card, I used the digital stamp Some Odd Girl - Lady Bug Tia (currently on sale for $1), I've coloured her with Copics and Spectrum Noir Markers, and added stickles to her wings. I used patterned papers from My Minds Eye and Echo Park, the sentiment is from My Minds Eye, I've also added some Stampin' Up! Ribbon as well as some bling and paper flowers (D-Lish Scraps)

Here is the close up-

The Greeting Farm - Thank You card

Higuys! I've been creating, I just haven't been updating my blog or stores (Etsy/Madeit) but that will be happening today!

Anyway, on to todays card

I started this card by colouring up the stamp from The Greeting Farm, using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I added some doodling, using my white gel pen. I then grabbed some matching papers, from My Minds Eye and Stampin' Up! I added a polaroid frame and popped the little girl inside it. I added a sentiment, stamped on a sticker, and called this one done!

Some Odd Girl - Digital Stamp - Grands - Anniversary Card

Hi guys! I've got free postage (worldwide) in both my etsy and madeit stores this weekend! Just use coupon code MUMSDAY to checkout, with free shipping!

Anyway, I was asked to make an anniversary card, for a sixtieth (!) wedding anniversary... 

 

I started out, by buying, printing and colouring the Some Odd Girl digital stamp - Grand Couple. As usual, I used my Spectrum Noir Markers, and then fussy cut the image out. I then grabbed some patterned papers, from American Crafts, and a no named brand pad and trimmed them down. I mounted the patterned papers on some Island Indigo SU cardstock and doodled around the edges. I created the sentiment, by using my printer and some number stamps, and gold embossing the 60. I added a smattering of sequins to finish off the card.

New Baby Boy Card - Some Odd Girl

Hi again! I've been busy, setting up a secondary store, to try and get my little brand (JessideeHandmade) to go international! I've been setting up, and stocking a store over on Etsy, as well as keeping my madeit store puttering along! 

Anyway, I have another new baby card to share today!

For this card, I started by selecting my papers, I wanted something bright, vibrant and fun for a new baby boy card. I then grabbed my digital images that I've had printed for a couple of weeks, and set to colouring up this Some Odd Girl digi. Usually, I leave her legs skin tone, and assume she's wearing a really short dress, this time, I gave her denim jeans.. I fussy cut her out, and set her aside, to build my card... I used patterned paper from Echo Park, as well as one from an unknown paper pad (it was given to me by a friend) I die cut some shapes, including the circle, pennants and scallop circle. I attached them all (with my usual doodling) and then focused on the sentiment, which I made using a wooden embellishment and a tiny tag, from the Stampin' Up! set Tiny Tags. I added a Freckled Fawn resin star, and a couple of sequins.

Kraftin' Kimmie - Clara Valentine's Day Card

I've been at the craft desk once again! I have a whole range of Valentine's cards up in store now! And, just for being a blog reader, you can get 20% off until Monday, just use coupon code BlogLove on checkout!

Here is the card I have to share today - 

I actually started this card a couple of days ago, and it just wasn't working for me... I had coloured Clara (from Kraftin' Kimmie) three times before I was happy with her, then because it had taken so long, I wasn't happy with the papers, or the style for the card. So, left Clara on my desk, to come back to. I used a mix of really old My Minds Eye patterned paper and new Pink Paislee, doodled around the edges, wrapped some seam binding ribbon and some new pink satin ribbon, I picked up at Spotlight a week ago, and tide a big bow. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up, and is the heart punchie.

Hi guys! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas/Boxing day, and have spent the time with family, friends, good food and cheer! I've currently got 15% off as a boxing day sale, in store until the 31-12-13! 

This card was made for a wonderful crafty friend, who celebrated her birthday last weekend!

 
I started out grabbing the off cuts from my scrapbook page (paper is from Webster's Pages) that I shared last week, then colouring up the 80's Anya image, from The Greeting Farm, using my Spectrum Noirs. I then cut her out, and built the card, the base is Kraft, layered with Vanilla and then the patterned papers. I added a bow, using Seam Binding Ribbon (from SU!) and stamped the sentiment (also SU!) and popped Anya using dimensionals. I added a trio of bling in the corner, and stamped a Happy Birthday sentiment on the inside.

Some Odd Girl - New Baby Boy Card

Super quick post here, as I share a card I made yesterday!

I had a very full on weekend this one, just past! I celebrated my 27th Birthday, went out for dinner, drinks and dancing with friends. I had an amazing time, getting all dressed up, and hitting the town! I will have photos to scrapbook in the coming weeks, I'm sure!
Anyway, on to the card  -

I started by grabbing some papers that have been in my stash for an absolute age! I then coloured up my Some Odd Girl digi stamp, using my Spectrum Noir Markers, and then trimmed her out. I stamped the hands from a Stampin' Up! Set - Baby Prints, and the sentiment is from SU - A word for you, I embossed it in silver, and doodled around the card, and patterned papers, using a silver pen.

Hi guys! 

Just another quick note, to point you in the direction of my store which currently has 10% off using the coupon code EarlyXmas, until the 10th of October, 2013.

Now, on to my card today... I've got a boys card to share (as I keep selling out of them!)

I got new stamps in the mail, yesterday, from The Greeting Farm, so I had to ink up this little dude (how cute is he?!)... I coloured him up using my Spectrum Noir Markers, and trimmed it down to fit behind the polaroid frame, which is from Kaisercraft. I added a sentiment, using stickers from My Minds Eye, and my Dymo Labeller. The patterned papers I've used are from Echo Park, and have been doodled around. I added some Washi Tape in yellow to some white card stock and made some banners out of them. The card base is made from Stampin' Up! Pumpkin Pie card. The embellishments at the top are from D-Lish scraps, and include a star button in red, a wood veneer in a heart shape and two little enamel dots.

Well, I have Christmas cards, all one offs, in my store right now! Use the code EarlyXmas to get 10% off your order for the next week! (Until 10-10-13)

I started off inking up, and colouring this adorable Tiddly Inks image (it's a stamp set that came free with a magazine). I used my Spectrum Noir markers, and then trimmed the image out. I then set to selecting my papers. The spotty paper is Echo Park, and the other is My Minds Eye (perfect traditional Christmas colours!) I then doodled around the edges, using my white gel pen, and added a doily, some white cardstock matting and of course my sentiment (Stampin' Up!) 

I added two buttons and some twine to finish off this card -

Kraftin' Kimmie - Mermaid Birthday

Hi guys! I crafted quickly this afternoon, after a relaxing brunch in Newcastle, on Darby Street... A place called Goldbergs, they have very tasty coffee!  Here is an Instagram pic of my coffee, and read while the boyfriend was reading the sports pages of the paper.... 

Anyway, I got home, and decided to craft - 

I inked up a Kraftin' Kimmie stamp, and coloured her using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I used patterned papers from Echo Park, (2 different paper pads), and then doodled around the edges, and stamped a sentiment on a piece of white card (mounted on Baked Brown Sugar card) and then attached my mermaid, and some paper roses and a resin rose... 

Here is the close up -

Kraftin' Kimmie - You Rock!

Hi guys! I know, I've not been around much, again.... 

On the plus side, I do have a card to share!

I started by getting the boyfriend to go through a 6x6 paper pad, by Amy Tangerine, and pick two papers... He picked the bright pink chevron, and the note paper with the doodling in the corner... I went to work... I stamped and coloured up this rocking chicky, from Kraftin' Kimmie, and die-cut her out, using a circle die. Then, built up my card, I used the Hexagon embossing folder (from SU!) and sanded it back a bit, and then added the notebook paper on the left hand side. I added two fish tail banners, one out of the pink chevron paper, the other using washi tape on white card stock. I added a piece of aqua satin ribbon (which matched her outfit, perfectly!) and then stamped and die-cut a sentiment. This sentiment is from Kraftin' Kimmie too... 

I added three little rhinestones, in aqua, and called it done!

I have some exciting news today too! I was featured on the front page of Madeit today!

Annabelle Stamps - Tomorrows Dream; Get Well Card

Hi guys! Sorry for the lengthy delay in blog posts!
I've had my operation, and I'm recovering well. Just a brand new learning experience. 

I crafted last night, after returning home (from my parents house). I had a whole bunch of new stuff arrive while I was away, including a parcel from Annabelle Stamps, from my challenge win there recently! I chose to get another one of their addictive stamp sets, and ended up with this one in my cart... So, I inked her up for the Annabelle Stamps most recent challenge - Licorice and White

Here is my card -

I stamped and coloured the image, using the Ice Grey colours from my Spectrum Noir Makrers, and then fussy cut the chicky out. I embossed two pieces of white card stock, using a new addition (to my craft stash) the cloud embossing folder, from Stampin' Up! and mounted them on to black card. All my borders were doodled before embossing. Before adhering the layers together, I added a strip of black satin ribbon between them. I then added a diamond shape and my sentiment, which is from MFT. I finished it all off with three black rhinestones. 

Here is the close up

I used the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches and the Annabelle Stamps Licorice and White challenge for inspiration 

My MadeIt store is back open as well, so, pop on in and take a look :)

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 -

I am entering this into two challenges, the first is the inspiration pic from Tuesday Trigger. I took the colours from this pic, and made it my own... I am also entering this into the Sketchy Friday sketch

Thanks for dropping by! I'm redrawing my giveaway on my Facebook page, as the winner has yet to get back to me... so, don't forget to pop by, and see if you're the winner!

Kraftin' Kimmie Tinkerbell Christmas Card, Take 2

Hi Again! I have another Chirstmas card to share today! This one is going to be heading out to a family member by the end of next week hopefully! Have you started sending Christmas Cards yet? Check out my MadeIt store, if you need a few more to send :) Here is the last Kraftin' Kimmie Christmas card I made... I think Tinkerbell is a fab, sassy, little angel/fairy, perfect for Christmas cards! Here is my latest -

I had some left over patterned paper on my desk from this card, as well as some red, Christmas paper from Stampin' Up's stamp club this month, so I combined them together with some more patterned paper from My Minds Eye, and pulled them all together using some doodled borders. I coloured up Tinkerbell using my Spectrum Noir markers, and glittered her wings using Stardust Stickles. I added a few rhinestones to her hair accessory, as well as belt. I stamped the sentiment, (from SU!) and cut it out using my nesting circle dies...  

I am entering this into three challenges, the first being the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches, next up the Festive challenge for Kraftin' Kimmie, and finally the anything goes challenge at Simon Says Stamp.

Thanks for popping around!
