Couture Creations - Peony friendship card

Hey there!

Two posts in two days 😲

I have another card to share from my creating last night. We reorganised the shared office just two days ago, making it much easier to get in and craft and feel inspired. 

So, onto the card! This card uses one of my most recent favourite stamps, from Couture Creations “Pretty Peony”. It’s such an easy stamp to colour up. I’ve used my copics in R24, R32 and R22 to colour these two peonies. I also used patterned papers from Avery Elle and Hampton Art to layer. 

The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn “Sophie’s sentiments” and the little bumble bee sticker is from a REALLY old sticker sheet, that I don’t have the name of any more. 

I have used the sketch from Just Add Ink and the 3 colour with black and white stripes from Color my heart with my 3 colours being pink, blue and a touch of yellow, this challenge is teamed up with Double Trouble

I hope to get back into the craft room tonight, so I’ll have something to share tomorrow!

Until then, have a great day!!

C.C. Designs Get Well Soon Card

Hi hi! 

I've been creating again, trying to get as much done as I can, before uni takes over my life next week, and wedding planning gets over the top too!

Anyway, here's my card

For this one, I finally inked up a stamp I've had for almost a year, Nurse, from C.C. Designs, She's a cutie, and quite easy to colour. I used my spectrum noir markers, as well as copics for this image. I have used some really old My Minds Eye patterned papers (that I've almost finished the pad!) And layered them up, I have doodled around the edges, as always. I finished off the card with a trio of flowers, and a sentiment from Lawn Fawn.

Here's the close up

Scrapbooking

Hi guys! I'm back to share a scrapbook page I did last week, but have only just had a chance to photograph and edit!

For this layout, I started with some light pink card stock, which I used turquoise paint on, with a mask. I then grabbed some hot pink patterned paper from Kaisercraft, and mixed it with another patterned paper by Webster's Pages. I added some embellishments which include mixed paper, and fabric flowers, flair, a wooden frame, and a doily. My title is created using my silhouette, and a dymo labeller.

Some Odd Girl - Birthday Card

Hi Hi! I've been terrible at this blogging thing recently. I haven't been crafting much either... But, this card was screaming to be made. 

I started by grabbing some patterned paper from two different Kaisercraft paper pads, and the brown one is from American Crafts. I coloured up my Some Odd Girl image, using my Spectrum Noir markers, and fussy cut her out. I then layered up my papers, and doodled around the edges. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp, and I've used paper flowers, a MFT Die-Namic feather and some sequins to finish off this card.

Scrapbooking - Nick and I Sydney Trip

Hi guys! I have another scrap page to share, before hopefully sharing a card tomorrow (if I get a chance to photograph it!)

Here is the layout

For this layout, I started with a black card stock base, and painted up a background using shiny gold paint, and a mask. I then grabbed one of my 3 ink sprays and sprayed some gold around. I added some circles using some white paint on a little plastic lid. I added 4 different patterned papers, from Kaisercraft, and Echo Park, a journalling card from October Afternoon, some washi tape, a flair, paper clip and some twine. The tittle is "Happy" which I coloured using my spectrum noir markers and added some gold paint dots. I added a Kaisercraft chipboard window, which I painted and some flowers from D-Lish Scraps.

Scrapbooking - This way to coffee!

Hiya! I have a couple more scrapbook layouts to share, then, hopefully I'll be back to card creating soon!

Here is another layout -

For this layout, I used a photo from my Sydney trip with my older sister. I found an awesome sign, that says Keep calm and Drink Coffee, and NEEDED a pic with it... I used patterned papers from Kaisercraft, paired with a whole bunch of D-Lish Flowers. I didn't realise how many different kinds I had! I added a flair button and some stickers to finish off this layout.

Hello Sunshine - DLish Scraps Inspiration Challenge - Scrapbooking

Hello again! I have a scrapbook page to share with you all today! One of me, and my lovely man.

For this layout, I bought the D-Lish Just Add Paper kit, which I paired with some American Craft frame paper, as well as some Bella Blvd silver embossed black card stock. I also added a couple of paper doilies, and a silver bow, instead of the pink one that came in the kit. 

From the inspiration board, I took my cues from the colour scheme, the frames, sketch and the butterflies.

Here is the collage of close ups -

Scrapbooking - Lovedale Long Lunch

Hi Hi! I went on the Lovedale Long Lunch this weekend just gone, it's a day filled with Hunter Valley wines, Lunch, music, and friends! Our bus theme was double denim, but because it was SUCH a nice day, we ditched the denim jackets pretty quickly!
Anyway, onto my scrap page -

The main background paper I've used is from Kaisercraft, paired with some Teresa Collins (the pink) I've added doilies, a Prima feather, a die-cut feather, the frames are from Pink Paislee (I think), some stickers from My Minds Eye and a whole bunch of stuff from D-Lish Scraps. I also added in a few of the left over tickets.

Simon Says Stamp - Die Crazy

I've been a bad blogger... Some Odd Girl Cards

I've been a terrible blogger lately! I've not crafted much recently, as my week of prac ended and I went to visit my parents, and head to Sydney with my big sis, to see The Lion King and check out Madame Tussauds

This is us, giving Iron Man some love ;)
Anyway, I have a couple of cards to share (which are all up in my madeit, and etsy stores)... 

Here we go...
This card was a special request, for a friend, who wants to send the card to her best friend, who was complaining, he'll never get a "Congratulations, you're married" or "Congrats on your baby card", so, he'd like one with this sentiment - "Congratulations - You're Gay!" 

I used patterned paper from Kaisercraft, and a digital stamp, from Some Odd Girl, coloured using my Spectrum Noir Markers. Embellishments include resin flowers, a bow and a glitter heart (diecut from Lawn Fawn) 

Close up - 

This one was made using the Deconstructing Jen Sketch #115 as inspiration. I'm also linking this card to the Some Odd Girl Linky Party (well both actually)

This one, I made to go straight into my store - 

I started by selecting papers from Teresa Collins and My Minds Eye, and colouring up Mae from Some Odd Girl, I used the colour palette of the papers, to determine my colouring. I decided to add a gold glitter feather (die-cut from MFT) and a wooden Prima feather, I also used a trio of resin flowers and some gold sequins. The sentiment for this one, is from Simon Says Stamp. I'm linking this one up to Friday Sketch challenge, and the Simon Says Stamp - Die-cut Crazy challenge

Some Odd Girl + Simon Says Stamp - Thank You Card

Hi Hi! It's been a little quite in my stores (etsy + madeit) as I had to remove a bunch of stock to try my hand at commissioning my cards to The Emporium, in Newcastle City! If you're local, why not pop in for a last minute mother's day present/card on Friday night, as the store will be open until 8pm 

(I'll be popping in, and checking out all the other handmade goodies!)

Anyway, onto my card to share - 

I inked up Believe from Some Odd Girl and coloured her with my Spectrum Noir Markers. I then fussy cut her out, and selected some patterned papers. The aqua, mint one is from Cosmo Cricket and the purple is from Kaisercraft. I layered them up, doodled around the edges and added some paper and resin flowers. I also added 2 glitter hearts (Lawn Fawn). The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp, and I die cut a speech bubble (MFT Die-Namics)

Some Odd Girl - Mother's Day!

Hi again! I created this card the other night, I was completely inspired by a conversation in The Some Odd Girl Facebook group, about the stamp - Renew...

Here is my card - 

For this card, I selected some soft, girly papers, the pink one is from Carte Bella and I layered it up with some woodgrain from Kaisercraft (which I popped some ribbon behind). I then coloured up Renew and fussy cut her out. Once that was done, I die-cut a circle, stamped the sentiment (Kaisercraft) and attached Renew using foam adhesives. I added some paper and resin flowers as well as some pearls.

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.

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 - 

Friday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 67

and

The Greeting Farm - FFF Photo Inspiration

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!

Scrapbooking!

It's April 1st, and that means April Fool's Day! It's not a joke, I am actually posting something! I know it's been a little over a week, since I posted anything, I've been a bad blogger!

But, to make it up to you, I do have a scrapbook page to share!

I started out with printing my photos, and then looking through my paper stash for the colour purple... of course, I had nothing! So, I decided on this chevron paper from Webster's Pages and, cut it in a sunburst pattern from the corner. It's a bit "off" as I just cut it using scissors! I then went through my stash, and found some die-cuts from Teresa Collins, for the frame, etc, and notes.  

I used other stickers, from My Minds Eye, Bella Blvd, and Jillibean Soup. I used a bunch of flowers, paper and resin, as well as a resin birdy, from D-Lish scraps

Australia Day - Scrapbooking!

Hiya!

I received a parcel of goodies the other day, from D-Lish Scraps, as soon as it arrived, I had to play! I went through the store, and ordered a whole bunch of yummy goodies for this months inspiration board challenge!

 

And, here is my layout - 

I had this photo, which was taken after my friend Angela did my hair an make up, before we hit the town on Australia Day. I thought I'd already scrapbooked it, but apparently not! 

The background paper is from Kaisercraft, and I've used a scrap of pink and yellow paper from this card the other day. I also had some left overs from my foray into Project Life, and decided to use them on this layout! I used a whole range of loveliness from the D-lish store, including:

Bitty Blooms - Orange

Bitty Blooms - Pink

Cherry Blossoms

Old Fashioned Rose

Violas

Resin birds and Stars 

Wire

I also used some resin shapes and paper flowers I've had in my stash a while... I used stamps from Give a Girl a Blog, and stickers from My Minds Eye and Bella Blvd (I think) as well as a die-cut mustache (I can't remember which company this one was!) 

Here is the close up collage - 

As you can probably tell, my main inspiration for this layout was the colour scheme, the chevrons and a very loose interpretation on the sketch! 

Don't forget to pop over and play for this months prize!
