Stamping Vacation - All Designer Papers

Hi all, just a quick post before I have to go to work!

This is a challenge card for Stamping Vacation, which was to create a card using only designer papers, except for the base of the card. This is what I came up with... I used all designer papers, from various places... they are mainly scraps from this project I did the other day! Even the sentiment circle is a designer paper, a piece of Basic Grey, the back of one of their Christmas Papers, it has a weathered look to it.... I made this for my house mate, to remind him how much I appreciate him.... 

Owls Everywhere

Just dropping by to share a quick card before heading to bed... It has been an epically long week.

Are you at all surprised that the owls made a triumphant return? I'm not... I love this punch, and it's little surprise, when it is so versatile and easy to use! I have quickly become addicted to this little guy!

This card is for two challenges, the first being the Stamping 411 Saturday Sketch, and also the Inkspiration colour challenge. 

The colour combo was completely out of my comfort zone, but I adore how my card came out.... 

Thanks for looking, and make sure you pop back through the week to have a chance at some blog candy!

Congratulations Card

This evening, my little sister found out that she will be heading into university this year, to study a bachelor of arts, so, to help celebrate, I made this card for her

It is pretty much a direct case of a card that I found here. I love my owl punch, but it I find I don't have the patience some people have for piecing together 101 small punched shapes... I loved the penguin as soon as I saw it, as Bec "Hi Bec" loves penguins... she has a whole room full of the things... 

I am also entering this into 2 challenges tonight, the first being the Simon Says Stamp Bingo challenge, which was to pick 3 techniques/items on the list... I used Punches/Diecuts, Wet and Dry Embossing and Ribbon. 

The other challenge I'm entering this into is the Stampin' Royalty Anything with Wings Challenge. 

I'm going to pop this in the mail tomorrow, so hopefully she receives it before the weekend!

Congratulations again lil one :-)

Welcome baby card

Yesterday, I received my Christmas present to myself in the mail. The super popular own punch! So, out it came for a play tonight.

This card is for 3 challenges, which is pretty good.... 

The first being the Mojo Monday Sketch, which I love this week! Pop back tomorrow to see another, completely different card made using the same sketch!

This card also fits with the Simon Says Stamp New Beginnings Challenge, and the Colour Q colour palette

This is a beautiful colour combo, but I will be playing with it again... I will try to substitute the retired Soft Sky with Bashful Blue instead, this time I used Baja Breeze, and I don't think it looks quite right....

Head over to the three blogs and have a go in the challenges. :-)
