Stampin' Up! Brights Designer Series Paper and Timeless Type Sizzlet and I create a Scrapbook Page

Hi Guys, I'm back with the promised scrap book page! This is another one for my nieces scrap book. I'm loving scrapping her pictures, as I can use lots of little cute embellishments!

I have used a 12x12 piece of Crumbcake (Kraft) card stock, which I have sponged around the edges with White Craft Ink. I have cut some scrap strips of Brights Designer Series Paper in Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Real Red and Tempting Turquoise. I then staggered them on the base card and added a die cut doily. The photo was attached then with my hot glue gun, I attached a bunch of little embellishments (below) The butterflies were cut out of some scrap acetate (from some packaging), using the Big Shot. I then embossed them using the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder and some stickles to the wings. I added some small alphabet stickers and cut some letters using the Timeless Type Sizzlet from Tempting Turquoise.

I am entering this into the Kraft It Up! challenge which is to use bright colours :)

Stampin' Up! Artistic Etchings paired with Upsy Daisy and I create a Thinking of You card.

Evening! I crafted last night after going to my little sisters house to celebrate her birthday (she's not so little any more, at 20....) It was a lot of fun, and I came home a little tipsy and with some inspiration... Here is the card I made

This is a Crumbcake card base which has a piece of Blushing Bride which I have run through the Big Shot using the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder. Once it was embossed, I swiped some white ink over the top to make it stand out. I then embossed a piece of Crumbcake using the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, and it too got the white ink treatment. I stamped the Eiffel Tower from Artistic Etchings in Crumbcake and the sentiment from Upsy Daisy in Basic Grey, I then sponged Crumbcake along the edges and mounted it on Blushing Bride and some scallop border punched Basic Grey. To finish this card off with a piece of pink ribbon that was in my stash. 

I am entering this into two challenges, the first is the Inkspirations Sketch challenge (below) and The Lollipop Ladies Embossed Cupcake challenge, I used the colours and embossing as my inspiration. 

Thanks for dropping by :)

Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Big Shot Vintage Wallpaper and I create a layered New Mum card

Hi guys! I created once more before bed last night (or should I say this morning?) Any way, here is the card

This white on white card came together quicker than it may seem once I knew what I wanted to do! The scallops are made using a circle punch and some white card. I embossed some white through the Big Shot using the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing folder, then cut it out and layered it with some smooth white card cut into circles. I added some white grosgrain ribbon and the pre-coloured image that was sitting on my (messy) desk for a couple of weeks. I coloured this Greeting Farm Mummy using my Stampin' Write Markers on watercolour paper. 

I am entering this into a couple of challenges that seemingly don't go together at all, but a little smooshing and they go well.... The Simon Says Challenge of all white with a coloured image firstly, the Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger Luminous Layers which is all colourful... I went with the layering and the scallops as my inspiration here instead of all the colours, and finally the Ribbon Carousel Challenge to do something "edgy" I am going to claim my scallops are a fancy form of edging.... I'm not sure how relevant it is, but I think it works  :)

Anyway, I'm going to go, get ready for work and hopefully will craft later tonight, until then, 

Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Tree Trimmings and Shimmer Paint make very pretty Christmas Cards

Hi Guys! I run a stamp club on the Central Coast every second month, and next Wednesday is our next one. I really wanted to showcase a technique I learnt not that long ago. Faux Mother of Pearl, using Stampin' Up! Shimmer Paint. Also, I wanted one of the cards to be a Christmas in July card, to get my ladies starting to think about Christmas.... So, here is one of the cards we will be making at Stamp Club.

I have used a Whisper White base, then popped a piece of Baja Breeze through my Bigshot with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder, once it was embossed, I rubbed a White Craft ink pad lightly over it, to highlight the embossing. The main image is Glossy White card which has had White Shimmer paint "splodged" (nice terminology?) on it. Once it was dry, I sponged some Baja Breeze on top, I didn't particularly like the colour, so went over it again with a light coat of Night of Navy sponging. I then stamped the ornaments from Tree Trimmings in Night of Navy and Pacific Point, drew their strings using a Black Stampin' Write Marker, and layered it onto the card base with some dimensionals. The sentiment is from Basic Phrases, stamped in Baja Breeze, cut out using the Modern Label punch and popped with more dimensionals. 

I am entering this into The Paper Players Christmas in July Challenge, and hope the girls like this and the other cards we will be making :-)

Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Elements of Style makes elegant Birthday Cards

I told you I'd be back! I got a Stampin' Up! order in the mail this morning, and in it was a stamp set I have had on my wish list for a while, but seriously had to get after my Upline held a class using it! I bought Elements of Style, and this is the first card I inked it up for....

This is a 5" square Whisper White card, which is layered with an embossed piece of Whisper White, using the Big Shot, and the Vintage Wallpaper Impressions Folder, I have lightly sprayed it with some Glimmer Mist, but I don't think it is visible in this picture. I have stamped the flowers in Staz On Black and coloured with my Stampin' Write Markers, Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery and Wild Wasabi. I have then sponged the square with Bashful Blue, and Baja Breeze. The sentiment is from Upsy Daisy, and fits well in the corner. 

I am entering this into the Less is More Sketch Challenge, while the proportions are off, I think it still fits in with the sketch. I am also entering this into The Paper Players Anything Goes challenge. 

I have another card to show you, using this same set, but a completely different outcome! So, come back in a few hours, to see it 

Until then....

Happy Stamping!
