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)

The Greeting Farm - 1st Birthday Card

Hiya, I've been creating, quietly! I've been working on some more custom cards, if there's anything you want, pop over to my facebook page, and hit contact me! I should also point out, Friday is the last day to order Easter cards!!

Anyway, onto this card - 

For this card, I used one of the Princess Anyas, stamped her, and coloured her up with my Spectrum Noirs. I used patterned paper from My Minds Eye (I think) and paired it with a non branded ombre pink paper. I doodled around the edges. Attached some pink ribbon loops and a trio of sequins.

Here is the close up. I added stickles to her wand and crown

The Greeting Farm - Blank Card

Hi guys! I've been puttering around, crafting, but not really feeling the need to blog everything... If you've been following me on Instagram you'll have seen my little snapshots of my craftiness. I have also been busy making up custom cards for my store!

This little card was a just playing around card, there was no set sentiment, or theme in mind, I was just getting inky...  

 

I grabbed my papers (from the few pre-made piles) and layered them up on a light aqua card base. The patterned papers are from Sn@p and Cosmo Cricket, and I've doodled around the edges. I bought some ribbon from Spotlight the other day (how could I not, when they were 49c a roll?!) I layered some thin white satin ribbon and then printed my sentiment, which is computer generated. I stamped and coloured my image, which is from The Greeting Farm (my favourite things set), and fussy cut her out. I added a trio of rhinestones and some glitter to her hair baubles.

Kraftin' Kimmie - Mermaid Birthday Card

Morning all! I finally inked up a new stamp that arrived in my mail box last week! 

I started off by stamping, and colouring this cool mermaid (from Kraftin' Kimmie), I used my Spectrum Noir Markers (of course), and then glittered her tail with some stickles. I set her aside to dry, overnight, and came back to building a card yesterday morning.... I used a eclectic range of patterned papers, firstly the dictionary paper is from Teresa Collins, the blue triangled paper is from American Crafts (My Girl collection), then, the blue 'wavy' paper is actually a small strip of Echo Park, Scoot paper. It has helicopters and clouds on the top section, but I just trimmed out the portion I wanted... I then stamped my sentiment in versamark, on plain vellum, and heat embossed it, with white powder. 

**TIP** I cut the vellum longer than I needed it to be, and scored the where they'd overlap the blue waved papers edges. I then attached tape to the back of the wavy piece and stuck the vellum done. (I don't own vellum adhesive)

I added three small sequins to finish off this card. Here is the close up -

My Favourite Things - Christmas in July Card

Hi Guys! I know, Christmas in July!!!?! Whose silly idea was that, hehe. Over at The Stamp Spot blog this month, the challenge is all things Christmas!

Here is my first contribution -

I started by stamping up this chicky in a martini glass, which is from My Favourite Things, I coloured her using my Spectrum Noir markers, added some glitter stickles to her dress, and shoes, for a bit of a festive look, then set her aside, unsure how to continue! 

The next day, a wave of inspiration hit, I went through my patterned papers. The goldy coloured paper on the background is American Crafts - Amy Tangerine as is the ledger paper the sentiment is stamped onto, and the green spotty paper is from Echo Park, which is the Dots & Stripes Collection. I then found some twill ribbon and tied a bow. I coloured up three rhinestones, using my Spectrum Noirs, to match the gold colour scheme, and finished off this card with some doodling, which I did with a new favourite journaling pen, the Project Life journaling pen

Here is the close up-

Some Odd Girl - Wishes

Hi guys! This is a quick (ish) post, that includes lots of yumminess from The Stamp Spot! 

I started by stamping Wishes from Some Odd Girl, and coloured her up using my Spectrum Noir Markers, I then selected my papers... I've used the pink flowered paper from Sn@p Vintage Bliss 6x6 and, the butterfly 3x4 inch tag from Sn@p Vintage Bliss 4x6 card, I trimmed it out, and re-mounted it on purple card, as it was getting lost with pink on pink... I layered a paper doily between the pink and 3x4 card, then added Wishes, a sentiment (from MFT) and then decided this card needed some flowers, bling and another butterfly! I dug through my stash, knowing I had these Prima pleated blooms that would work perfectly for this super girly card. I also used one of these Kaisercraft Amethyst paper blooms and a pink one from my stash. Michelle has recently added chipboards to the shop (which is SUPER exciting!) I used one of the tiny butterflies from 2Crafty, and added a few purple rhinestones.

Kraftin' Kimmie - Tinkerbelle, Smile Card

Hi guys! 

Back again today... to share a card I made yesterday.

I started out stamping and colouring Tinkerbelle, from Kraftin' Kimmie using my Spectrum Noir markers, and fussy cutting her out. I then gathered my patterned papers I wanted to use... I used the grey paper from American Craft My Girl Collection, and a piece of scrap My Minds Eye My Girl paper, mounted them all on white card stock, and doodled a border around the edges. I used some yellow grosgrain ribbon and embossed a piece of Pool Party card using the Hexagon embossing folder (From SU!) and mounted it on white card as well. The sentiment, "Smile" is from Jillibean Soup. I die cut a circle, and popped Tinkerbelle on it before adding some stickles to her wings. 

Here is the close up

Annabelle Stamps - Lil Monster 's Balloon

Hello! I got happy mail yesterday, so had to crack out a new stamp and play!

I got my first ever Annabelle Stamp! I must say, I think I'll be getting more! (shh, don't tell!) 

I coloured up this little monster using my Spectrum Noir Markers, and because I'd stamped him too close to the edge, fussy cut him out. What is cool though, is there is a matching die! (I don't mind fussy cutting though!) His shirt was paper pieced, and shaded. I then stamped him a second time, on the circle die cut, and pop dotted him. The background paper is from Kaisercraft. The sentiment comes with the Lil Monster stamp set, I then added some cool wooden arrows Michelle from The Stamp Spot sent me, which I coloured up to match the Monster. I added stickles to add some pop and some rhinestones to finish off this card. 

Here is a close up

I am entering this into two challenges - the first is the Annabelle Stamps colour challenge - One I wouldn't have come up with, by myself (ewww, purple :-P), and the sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketch, a great CAS design!

Some Odd Girl - Hol-Odd-Day Blog Hop

Hi guys! I may not be posting as frequently as I'd like to over the coming weeks, I've had my internet slowed down, so I might not be able to bear dealing with it most days, I will try and get online to upload when I can.... Onto my card -

Ok, so I started out using my brayer, and Stampin' Up Inks and brayering the sky, after stamping and embossing the white snow flakes. I masked off the ground and added a touch of sponging to where I wanted my little penguins to sit... I stamped, and masked my penguins (from Some Odd Girl) and coloured them up using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I then paper pieced the bow tie on the second little penguin using patterned paper from My Minds Eye (just a scrappy piece that's been on my desk forever!) I added some Crystal Effects to the top of the South Pole I then stamped the sentiment, and added a bunch of pennant shapes, in glitter, blue and the same red spotty paper as his bow tie... I added stickles to the snow flakes, and the ground, to give the impression of new snow. I embossed the white background paper and built my card...  here is a close up on my penguins... 

I am entering this into the 3rd Annual Hol-Odd-day blog hop, and the Some Odd Girl December challenge, I've just realised, my card is quite similar to the owner of Some Odd Girl, Kristy's card - 

I'm also entering this into the Simon Says Stamp anything goes challenge - 

This card was dropped in the mail yesterday, for a good friend :) 

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!

 Anyway, onto my card!

I inked up Gifty Gwen, which is one of my favourite stamps from Some Odd Girl, I coloured her in using my Spectrum Noir Markers, and added highlighting with a white gel pen, and a little bit of Stardust Stickles. I built my card, using a mix of papers from My Minds Eye and Amy Tangerine.

Kraftin' Kimmie - Tinkerbell Christmas card

Hi there! I know it's been a bit quiet here on the old blog.... I haven't been feeling the best recently, so crafting has taken a back seat... I sat down and crafted last night though, and loved what I came up with! I decided to crack out a Kraftin' Kimmie stamp, I don't think I use these enough! Here's my card

I coloured up Tinkerbell using my Spectrum Noir Markers, and glittered up her wings using stickles. I then left it over night to dry, and because it was getting late, went to bed... I got back to it this morning and fussy cut her out, then built my card. I used patterned papers from My Minds Eye and Teresa Collins, mounting each layer on white cardstock. I used ribbon from Stampin' Up! and also Ribbon Carousel. The sentiment is a cute little one from Stampin' Up! and I finished off the card with a couple of rhinestones. I love the completely non-traditional Christmas colours.... Tinkerbell was dying to go on a Christmas card! Here is a close up -

Christmas Cards with The Greeting Farm - Dressy Anya

Hi guys! Back again with another Christmas card! I am getting into the Christmas spirit, buying up all my Christmas Presents, and making lots of Christmas cards :) This year, I made the commitment to buy handmade... And, apart from bits and pieces, which I couldn't source, I've stuck to it! This year, I've bought most of my goods from Aussie handmade sellers from MadeIt.com.au, If you're looking for something unique, and handmade, that's your place to go! Anyway, onto my card -

This is one of the "tall" Anyas, from the Dressy Anya collection, I've coloured her up using my Spectrum Noir Markers, and trimmed her out. I have used patterned papers from My Minds Eye, and done a bunch of doodling around the edges (see a theme happening recently?) I then tied a bit bow from some beautiful ribbon from RibbonCarousel (who are changing up, and not going to stock ribbon by the yard, so, all the ribbon is on Sale!) I stamped the sentiment, and hand cut a pennant shape for it. The flower in her hair has been smothered in stickles... here is a closer look -

I am entering this into three challenges, the first is the Splendid Stamping- Double-Take Tuesday (which this week is the awesome colour scheme), next up is the Simon Says Stamp - Get in Shape challenge, and last but not least, is the sketch challenge from The Deconstructed Sketch

Thanks for popping by guys!

Feeling Sketchy - Week 27!

Hi guys, I'm a little late posting this week for Feeling Sketchy. We have a new sponsor this month, one of my favourite places to shop (semi locally) Illawarra Scrapbookers

 

And here is this weeks sketch - 

So good for different interpretations! I needed a baby card for a girl at work who had a healthy little boy last Thursday.... here is my card -

I used a mix of patterned papers that were on my desk from a scrapbook page I did the other night. These were the perfect combo for a baby boy card. I think there is Kaisercraft, We R Memory Keepers and My Minds Eye. The Stamps are Stampin' Up! and The Alley Way Stamps (Jibber Jabber) and I added a whole bunch of tiny dots of stickles around the edge for some bling. 

I am entering this in the Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes challenge too :)
