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-

Hi Guys!
I've been back in the craft room. So here's the card I created -

I used the digital stamp - Angry Persian from Some Odd Girl. I coloured him up, using my Spectrum Noir Markers, and fussy cut him out. I used patterned papers from My Minds Eye. I used the Print & Cut Feature on my Silhouette, to make the sentiment. I used a paper doily and doodled around the edges of all my papers, and on the kitty.

Some Odd Girl - Mermaid Queen

Hi guys! I'm back again, to share a card I made last night. It is a card, that I currently love, more than most, and I can't see myself parting with it, any time soon! I made it, to showcase on Some Odd Girl's Facebook Group - Paper Piecing Challenge
Here it is -

To start this card, I selected the Mermaid Queen Digital Stamp, from Some Odd Girl, printed her on my copic card stock, and on some copy paper. On the copy paper, once she was printed, I attached some patterned paper, and some vellum, and reprinted her. While that was printing, I started colouring the Mermaid's body, using my copic markers. I let the ink dry a short time on the vellum part of her tail, and while that was drying, coloured her tail in shades of green and blue, to give it a shimmer look on the patterned paper. I colour over a lot of my paper pieced sections, to give more dimension, to make the piece look less "flat". I then fussy cut the tail, and fins and attached them to my coloured mermaid. I did some stippling to give the appearance of sand, and used some stickles on her main tail fin, to give some sparkle!

The papers on this card are a mix of no-name papers and Lawn Fawn, I think her tail is from My Minds Eye (it was a scrap in my scrap draw). I added a sentiment, from another Some Odd Girl stamp set (which appears to be retired now). I added some more sparkle using a trio of silver sequins, and some glitter paper.

Aother Some Odd Girl Valentine's Card

Hi again!

I'm back to share another lovely valentine's card with you!

I started off by grabbing papers out of my scrap box, bits and pieces that were leftover from other projects, off cuts. I popped them all together, and then went to my digistamp folder, where I have a bunch of printed digital stamps, ready for colouring. I found this new release from Some Odd Girl - Crazy Love Tia

 

I coloured her up using a selection of Copic Markers, and Spectrum Noir, fussy cut her out, and attached her using foam adhesive. The sentiment is from my Silhouette, Print and Cut feature. I have attached it to the image using double sided tape. The papers I've used, I believe are from an older Echo Park Valentine's Day collection, that I have still got plenty left of!

Anyway, here is the close up image -

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 -

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...

From the Heart - Digital Stamps - Masculine Birthday Card

Hi Hi! You may not see much in the next two weeks, as I've just started my first prac for my teaching degree (yay!) I did craft last night, and Saturday night though...

 

I started by printing a newly acquired digital stamp, from From the Heart Stamps, and colouring it up using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I then trimmed it out, and set it aside. The patterned papers on this card are a bit of a mix, with Authentique, Kaisercraft and Echo Park. I trimmed them down, mounted them on white card, and of course doodled some borders around them. I added two eyelets to the Echo Park paper, and a trio of buttons, the largest of which has a twine bow.

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.

A first birthday Card - With a Cow!

Hi ya! I had a custom order pop up the other day from my etsy store (you can also order them at my madeit store), the request was for a first birthday card, featuring a cow, or a peanut... This is the result!

The image is a digi stamp, but I'm not sure what the company is, as it has been in my collection forever, and it's not sorted very well! I coloured her up with my spectrum noir markers, and then die-cut a circle. The patterned papers are from American Crafts, (Amy Tan) and I cut them into a sunburst pattern. I added the cow, some doodling and the sentiment (computer generated) and attached some paper flowers and a resin rose.

Some Odd Girl - Digital Stamp - Demure

Hi Lovelies! 

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter! I had a very relaxing one, I spent time down the coast, at my parents house, and got to see the nephews, and my niece. I also had time to get creative! I have a couple of new cards in store (both etsy and madeit) 

Anyway, onto my card! 

For this card, I started with "Demure" printed, on my desk, and coloured her up, with nothing in particular in mind for her... Which, is so not the way I craft! I then fussy cut her out, and came back to her the next day. I decided on a mostly clean and simple design for this card. I used some really old patterned paper, from when I first started card making. I think it might be Bella Blvd, but I could be very wrong! I layered it up on some black card, and then onto a white card base. I attached some washi tape, and the sentiment, which is a mix of a stamp from Technique Tuesday, and some stickers from My Minds Eye. I added some paper and resin flowers and a few small black rhinestones.

Hi guys! I have a quick giveaway happening over on my FB page, it will be drawn when I return home this afternoon (2pm AEST) All you have to do is comment on the post, of the custom journals!

Anyway, on to todays card!

For this one, I printed out the digi - Birdbrain with Candle, and coloured it up, using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I then doodled around the edges, and set the image aside. For the card base, I used paper by Sn@p and layered it up with some very old October Afternoon, and Echo Park papers. I doodled around all the layers, and stamped a sentiment. I added some twine for some texture, and a couple of rhinestones.

The Greeting Farm & Bugaboo Stamps Birthday Cards

Hi guys! I've been popping things in, and changing things up, in both my madeit and etsy stores, so pop over for a look!

Last night, I was up late, creating a couple of birthday cards... One just for fun, the other because a friend is celebrating their 29th birthday today, and I procrastinated creating ;)

Here is the first one - 

I had to play with my all new patterned papers, from Kaisercraft (OMG, this is an amazing collection!) I grabbed the woodgrain paper, and the giant flower one, and the other paper is Carte Bella. I layered them up, and then decided on the stamp I wanted to use, which is from The Greeting Farm and coloured her up using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I popped her into one of the polaroid frames, from Kaisercraft, and stamped the sentiments, which are a mix of Some Odd Girl and My Favourite Things. I added a bunch of paper and resin flowers. Here is the close up

This one is being entered into -

Now, on to the second birthday card, it's a lot different ;)

I printed out the digital stamp, from Bugaboo Stamps, and coloured it up using my Spectrum Noir Markers, mounted it on some blue paper from Echo Park, which I'd printed the sentiment straight onto. 

I added a few rhinestones, and some doodling, and called this card done!

From The Heart - Easter Card

After finishing my custom card order of Easter Cards (from my facebook page) last week, I decided I should make some up for my etsy and madeit stores as well! 

So, I sat down and crafted yesterday, as a reward for finishing my assignment (wooh!)

When I print digital images, that I've not coloured before, I print at least two, so if I mess one up, I can just move on to the second copy. I printed this digital stamp, created by From the Heart Stamps, and used it last week, so I had a spare copy, on my desk, ready to be coloured! 

I used my Spectrum Noir Markers, and then fussy cut around the image, leaving a small white border. I then grabbed a bunch of offcuts for this card, from Stampin' Up!, Echo Park and Kaisercraft, that were sitting in my scrap paper box. I cut them all down and attached them, before adding my doodling, and the sentiment, which is computer generated. I added some paper flowers, and a couple of hot pink rhinestones.

The Greeting Farm - Easter Card

Hi Again!

I have another Easter card to share with you today!

I did this card backwards to how I usually do my cards, I selected the papers I wanted to use first. I used patterned paper from American Crafts, and Amy Tangerine. I trimmed them all out, doodled around the edges, and then coloured up my The Greeting Farm image, using my Spectrum Noir Markers.

I printed the sentiment from my computer, and die cut it out, before popping it up with dimensional adhesive.

I added a couple of flat back pearls and called this card done.

From the Heart Stamps - Easter Card

Hiya! I've been busy creating, but not so busy photographing and blogging my creations (oops!) 

I have had a couple of custom card orders, so have been busy completing those. 

If there are any cards, you'd like custom made, for a special occasion, pop over to my Facebook page, and send me a message!

On to the first card for today -

For this card, I started with the bunny and girl image, from "From the Heart" stamps, printed her out, and coloured it up with my Spectrum Noir Markers. I die-cut the image, and set it aside, then built my card. I used patterned papers from a non-branded paper pad (from a discount store) and layered them up on Night of Navy, Stampin' Up card stock. I then doodled around the edges, and stamped a sentiment (from SU!) I then added a purple flower as well as a couple of buttons, a resin rose and some silver wire, which I'd wrapped around a pin, to give a curly effect.
