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.

Here's my second Card - 

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.

The Greeting Farm and Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration Elementary Elegance and I create a Birthday Card

Hi guys! I have a card to show quickly before I head to bed.

I started out by stamping this little chicky on watercolour paper, and colouring her with my Stampin' Write Markers and a blender pen (anyone surprised?) Then I cut her out carefully and popped her on a Spellbinders Nestability, which I'd stamped with Perfect Plum and Elementary Elegance for the sentiment. Then using the colours of the watercoloured image, I built my card. I used a Perfect Plum card base, with some Daffodil Delight Designer Series Paper, and card stock. I wrapped some Rose Red Seam Binding ribbon around, and tied a bow. The green patterned paper is from Kaisercraft. I rounded the corners of the card, and figured this one was done :)

I am entering this into the iSpySketches Sketch 1 Challenge. I was introduced to this wonderful new challenge blog by one of my craft idols Danielle Daws as she is on their Design Team. I really liked the sketch, but being me, I turned it on it's side and changed it to a regular card size. 

Thanks for popping by!

Some Odd Girl Digital Stamps and Stampin' Write Markers create a Missing You Card

Hi guys, I'm back with a card! This one features a really cute Digital Stamp I downloaded this afternoon (instant gratification!)

I started by printing this little chicky onto watercolour paper, and then coloured her using my Stampin' Write Markers, and a Blender pen. I've used minimal colours in the actual image, Sahara Sand, Soft Suede, Tempting Turquoise, Blossom Blush, and Real Red. I then sparkled up her shoes, cause every girl wants a pair of Dorothy shoes

Anyway, on with the rest of the card.... I used a Real Red card base, and layered it with Whisper White and a triangle of Tempting Turquoise patterned paper (DSP Brights stack), tied some white grosgrain ribbon around the top, with a lovely bow. The sentiment is made up of Nesting Circle and Nesting Scallop Circle dies and the words made with stickers and the Stampin' Up! Timeless Type Die. 

Ok, so I am entering this into three challenges, the first is the Some Odd Girl colour challenge, which I LOVE these colours together right now! The second is the Friday Mashup! which is something new, or the Sketch, and I mashed it up this week, with new digital stamps :) and the sketch.... And finally, the Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes Challenge :)

Thanks for dropping by!

Stampin' Up! Party this Way and Brights Designer Series Papers make a fun Birthday card

Hi guys! I have made two cards yesterday, but didn't have a chance to share them with you.... here is the first one...

For me, this card isn't a favourite, and I don't actually know why.... I love the bright colours, with the splash of black, but I just feel it didn't come together as it should have in my head.... On to the details though...

I used a Vanilla piece of card, and layered on some designer series papers from the Brights stack in Old Olive, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight, Real Red and Rich Razzleberry. I stamped the candles from Party this Way and cut them out using my circle punch. I stamped the sentiment and popped in underneath the circle. A touch of ribbon, and some bakers twine finishes off this card.

I am entering this into the Lollipop Ladies challenge, which has it's inspiration as Everlasting Gobstoppers :)

I took my inspiration from the colours mostly, and the circles in the polka dot paper and candles.... 

I also took inspiration from Got Sketch?

Thanks for dropping by, I'll be back in a bit to share another card, one I'm happier with :)

Stampin' Up! Just Believe and I create a sweet Friendship card

I made a card that wasn't a total struggle! YAY!

This is a Crumbcake base layered with Daffodil Delight Patterns Designer Series Paper stamped the image from Just Believe in Crumbcake and layered some scalloped border in white and Daffodil Delight (am I the only one that noticed that rhymed?) I then stamped the frame in Daffodil and stamped the sentiment, Friends in Crumbcake. I stamped the frame once more on Crumbcake and cut it out and used some pop dots to layer it over some yellow and white Bakers Twine. A bit of faux stitching and some distressing finished off this card!

I am entering this into three challenges.... The first one is the Card Patterns sketch (below), the second is the CR84FN colour challenge, one I really enjoyed (below again) then the Dream Valley Challenge which is to use distressing... 

Thanks for popping in, I'm so happy that I created, and it came easily! So, pop into these challenges, and have a go!

Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Apple Blossoms and I make Birthday Cards

Hello all again, this was another card Sue, Kim and I made on our craft day. We sit down surrounded by all our lovely Stampin' Up! products. This was a colour combo I came up with, Rich Razzleberry, So Saffron and Red Riding Hood. I cringed at my choices, but so did the other girls.....

This set is just too cute! It is a special gift to our hostesses who hold a Stampin' Up! workshop of $600 or more, they can choose this stamp set. I love it, and it is definitely on my wish list. I have added a little bit of Pear Pizzazz to this card for the leaves and stems, but, still love how it turned out. 

If you would like to host a workshop, and have the chance to get your hands on this stamp set, shoot me an email to jessidee86@gmail.com, or give me a call on 0405 173 237.

Stampin' Up! Circle Circus makes fun Thank you cards

Hi all! Been super super busy over the last week, and although it has all been with craft stuff, it hasn't been anything solid, all stuff for the Newcastle Show, which is happening this weekend! (We'll be in stall 386, if you want to come visit!) I do have a card to show you, yep.... you guessed it, another one from when Kim and I crafted together...

The colours for this challenge were Real Red, Pacific Point, Early Espresso and Pear Pizzazz. I went for a fairly clean and simple look for this card, randomly scattered the circles on my white card stock, and added a sentiment. Click Here to see Kim's example

I loved this set, and it made it onto my ever growing wishlist *sigh*

Anyway, if you're in the area over the weekend, drop in and say HI!

Cheerio for now!

Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Sweet Summer and I create a Friendship Card

Hi again,
I really wanted to head back into the craft room today, as I have the day off of work, and the newest Just Add Ink challenge has been issued..... Here is my card to start with....

The challenge this week at JAI, is a sketch challenge, a fairly versatile sketch.... I knew I wanted bright colours, and I wanted to use more Daffodil Delight... It's my favourite colour, yet I don't use it very often, because it has a tendency to over power all other colours... I used the Sale-a-bration stamp set, Sweet Summer, and coloured the images using my Stampin' Write markers....  I'm really happy with how bright and fun this card is... I think it is very summery, and happy... 

Thanks for looking, and Happy Stamping!
