My Favourite Things - Birthday Princess

Hi Guys! I'm currently in the process of packing up the house for moving next weekend (!) So, it might be quiet over here on the blog in the coming week.... Here's a card I made today -

I used the MFT Birthday Princess stamp and paper pieced her dress using the Sale-a-bration paper from Stampin' Up! I coloured her skin, hair, cake and hat using my Spectrum Noir Markers and cut her out. My card base is white, layered up with Peach Parfait, and some patterned paper from Echo Park, which I sewed around. The main image panel is pretty self explanatory, with the scallop circles actually cut out using my circle dies and cutting them in half (I don't have a big scallop punch/die like this) and I added some rhinestones in the valleys. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up! Sincere Salutations.
I used the MFTSC76 Sketch for this card, as well as inspiration from the Annabelle Stamps Paper Piecing challenge.

Some Odd Girl Angel Kaylee and I create a Birthday Card

Hi guys, just a quick post from me this morning, before I run out the door!

Crumbcake base, with patterned paper from My Minds Eye, and Melon Mambo Trim. I coloured the Angel Kaylee digital stamp using my Stampin' Write Markers and a blender pen. Her wings are a little bit sparkly, with clear/glitter embossing powder. The sentiment is from Sincere Salutations and I've highlighted the circle with some Perfect Pearls.

Some Odd Girl and Crate Paper 6x6 Paper Pad and I create a Best Wishes Card

Ok, so I was inspired to play along at the Some Odd Girl monthly challenge by my good friend Annmaree, also all the lovely new releases over at the Some Odd Girl Blog... so I got out my one physical SOG stamp! (I have a few digis as well :) ) And this is what I came up with -

I recently received a nice big parcel of goodies from The Stamp Spot, which included the 6x6 paper pad by Crate Paper (which is now sold out :( ) I had a flick through it, and kept coming back to the bold flower design, which, if you've been a follower for a while, you'd know, it's not really me! But, I worked with the colours and coloured Gifty Gwen in colours from the patterned paper, with my Stampin' Write Markers. I then fussy cut her out, and popped her on some Woodgrain stamped Confetti White card and sponged the edges in Crumbcake. I layered up my card base (crumbcake) with more Confetti White, the patterned paper, and of course some delicious Grosgrain/Satin Edge ribbon from The Ribbon Carousel! This ribbon is absolutely divine to work with, and adds a lil something something to the card :) The Sentiment is from Sincere Salutations, which is from Stampin' Up!

I'm uploading this to the sketch challenge over at Some Odd Girl. Why not enter for your chance to win some lovely, adorable stamps?

 

There She Goes - Dance and I create a Get Well Soon Card

You know those crafters out there, who everything they do looks exactly how you want your cards to look? I have a couple of card idols.... one of them is shabby, one is purely clean and simple, and one, who does what I like to call 'clean vintage'. If you participate in a lot of challenges, like I do, you've probably spied her around... Narelle Farrugia. Her style is absolutely breathtaking, all clean lines and vintagey.... (who even knew they went together???) Anyway, there is a point to my swoon.... I used inspiration from Narelle's cards to create....

I used a Basic Gray card base, layered with Crumbcake and a piece of patterned paper (this was an off cut, and I'm not sure which company it is from!) I then tied some bright yellow ribbon and stamped the flowers from There She Goes with StazOn on So Saffron and Daffodil Delight card and cut them out. The sentiment panel is cut with my Labels 4 Nestabilities and sponged in Basic Grey and stamped with the leaf image from Dance, the main sentiment is from the Stampin' Up! set Sincere Salutations. 

I am entering this into the CR84FN Colour challenge and the upcoming sketch from ICSketches

The Greeting Farm New Parents and Stampin' Up! Sincere Salutations and I create a Birthday Card

Hi guys! I'm back again today to show you a card that I made up :)

I used a Basic Gray card base and layered it with Calypso Coral and some patterned paper from KaiserCraft

and some twine with a random button from my stash. The Lil guy is the dad from The Greeting Farm's New Parents stamp set, and has been coloured using my Stampin' Write Markers on watercolour paper. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up!'s Sincere Salutations and has been stamped in VersaMark and heat embossed using white embossing powder. The Brads are from Stampin' Up!'s Sale-a-bration freebies :)
I am entering this into two challenges, the first is the Colour Q challenge, which included the retired colour Dusty Durango, which is a colour I don't have so, I tried matching it with the closest that is a current colour.... Next up is the Cardabilities Sketch, which I have put a bit of a spin on.
