Stampin' Up! Growing Green and I create a Sympathy card using a Brayer

Hi guys! I had a lovely weekend with my family, as it was my niece (Brianna 4 months old) and Samuel (22 months) had their Christening, and my lovely older sister asked me to be their Godmother! I was so humbled that she and her husband and asked me. I don't have any photos yet of the day... Hopefully soon! So, I didn't get much of a chance to craft over the weekend... Although, I do have a card to share today :)

Ok, so this is a Early Espresso card base, which has been layered with Very Vanilla (the littlest bit poking out) I then got out a piece of Gloss Card stock and with my brayer coloured it in using Certainly Celery, Pear Pizzazz, Lucky Limeade, Wild Wasabi and Old Olive. Once I'd got the colour variation I wanted, I stamped the leaf from Growing Green in Early Espresso and the sentiment from Because I care.
I am entering this into the CAS-ual Friday Almost Monochrome challenge.
Thanks for stopping by!
As always, Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Because I Care, with Stampin' Write Markers

Hi guys,
I'm back again with a new card to show you :)

A very clean and simple, one layer card... makes me just a little happy.... I used Crumbcake base, stamped the hydrangea from Because I Care, which is a retired hostess set I didn't ink up nearly enough when it was current! I stamped the image and sentiment using Staz-On. I then got my Stampin' Write markers out in Bashful Blue, Marina Mist, Night of Navy, Certainly Celery, Wild Wasabi and Old Olive and coloured in the flower and leaves layering the colour from lightest to darkest. When the image was coloured, I went over some of the sections with my white gel pen to give a little bit of highlighting. 

I am entering this into the OLW Challenge which is to make a one layer card using colouring in on your card. Thanks for dropping by!

Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Sew Suite and I create a Because I Care Card

Hi Again! Today I decided I wanted to play with the Less is More Challenge again, and to use a set I don't use often enough....

This is a fairly basic clean and simple card, I have used a Crumbcake base, which I have stamped the mannequin from Sew Suite on to three times, twice using Crumbcake the third one is in Basic Black. I have then stamped a sentiment from KaiserCraft (I really like this set) and have cut out some Newsprint DSP (which will retire at the end of August, so if you like this Patterned Paper, you need to get it quick!) I have wrapped some Baja Breeze striped ribbon around the Newsprint DSP and tied a bow... The main mannequin has been stamped on a piece of Very Vanilla and wrapped with a small piece of Marina Mist Grosgrain Ribbon and a little button has been added. 

I am entering this into a few challenges, the first being the Less is More Buttons and/or Ribbon challenge, secondly the Jac-Inks Monochrome challenge and the Simon Says Stamp Use Newspaper Challenge.

Anyway, I might head back into the craft room in a little while, after I cook dinner.... 

Have a great night!

Stampin' Up! Just Believe and I create Thank You cards

I'm back, two posts in two days! Are you in shock? I actually sat and struggled with this card, throwing out a whole bunch of Top Note die cuts.... 

This card uses a Crumbcake card base which I have layered some Rose Red which has been spritzed using a mixture of Shimmer Paint and rubbing alcohol and stamped using the So Swirly Wheel, the sentiment is stamped in Rose Red, and is from the Hostess Set Because I Care. The Perfect Plum frame has been stamped with the So Swirly Wheel as well and has some dimensionals behind it.The ribbon is something really fun on this card, I wanted Crumbcake coloured ribbon, but only had Very Vanilla, so I got out my reinker, and popped a few drops mixed with rubbing alcohol and I dragged the ribbon through it, I heat set it using my heat tool. The main image is from Just Believe and has been stamped using my Stampin' Write Markers in Rose Red and Certainly Celery. I have cut out 3 little butterflies from the Beautiful Wings Embossolit and glued them down, I have then added some faux stitching to finish off this card.

I am entering this into a couple of challenges, the first is the Stamping 411 sketch challenge, then the Inkspirations colour combination, the Simon Says Stamp anything goes challenge and finally the Moxie Fab World botanical challenge. 

Anyway, it is my bed time!

Goodnight, and Happy Stamping

Stampin' Up! Printed Petals and I create Because I care cards

On Saturday, I spent the evening crafting with my Mum, and we armed ourselves with two challenges, the first you can see here, the second one is this one

I have used a stamp set Mum has called Printed Petals, which worked perfectly using some bright, rainbow-y colours. I have noticed looking back through my recent cards that I haven't been making bright cards very often any more, so it was good to break into the bright side for a little while. The colours used are Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, Only Orange (Retired), Garden Green (Retired), Summer Sun (Retired) and Lovely Lilac (Retired). I have used a piece of designer series paper in Real Red and the sentiment is from the Hostess Set Because I Care. 

I am entering this into the Just Add Ink Sketch Challenge, and also into the My Paper Secret, Colour Trends Rainbow Challenge, which was an accidental colour combo for me.... 

Thanks for popping by! Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Sew Suite and I create cute Because I Care cards

Hi all,
I'm back again with more cards created using the Sew Suite stamp set from the new Stampin' Up! Autumn/Winter Mini Catalogue that was released just last week.

.

I have used the little mannequin out of the set, and dressed it up using some non-Stampin' Up! ribbon that is a perfect match for the Stampin' Up! colour Cherry Cobbler.... I also used a retired hostess set which has the cutest sentiments. I am entering this into the Less is More, a touch of red. I love the simplicity of this card, and think it would work well as a card for a small gift, as it about 4" square. 

If you want to get your hands on this cute stamp set, email me (jessidee86@gmail.com) or give me a call on 0405 173 237

Until next time,

Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Because I Care and I make Thank You Cards

Sorry it has been quiet on the blog front, but with some dramas happening and then falling ill, I have been completely uninspired to create anything.

This clean and simple card uses the stamp set Because I care, which is a level one hostess set, either host a workshop with sales totals of $300 or purchase product of $300 to receive this set for free! I have stamped the Hydrangea in black in and then coloured it in with my stampin' write markers. I am entering this into the Just Add Ink just add stamps challenge, which was to just use stamps, ink and cardstock, no extra embellishments.

Thanks for looking, and happy stamping!
