Hello
Did you know Uniko has been celebrating their 10th Birthday?! What a great achievement Congratulations Bev. I have had a bit of fun this month participating in various quests which Bev has been running. This is my entry for Quest #1.
This is a teeny tiny card (3″ x 3″) stamped using Big and Bold wish and Simply Said stamp sets.
Thanks for stopping by
Cheers

Hello
Popping in to share my latest quilt.
I did finish this a few weeks ago however I didn’t get to meet the new member of the family until yesterday. Such a gorgeous looking bub she is too.
The quilt top is 5 1/4″ squares set in a pattern which creates diamonds. When I checked what the nursery decor was going to be I was informed “muted neutrals”. Um brown tones came to mind. Off I went fabric shopping – any excuse! I found the lovely rainbow print and chose two solids from the pattern.
The back is a simple print. I quilted around the blocks and on the diagonal on my domestic machine. I bound with the darker of the solids. Now after purchasing the fabric and I had begun construction my Ms 17 spotted a pic on instagram of the nursery and informed me there was a rainbow print on the wall in the same tones as the fabric. Whew!
Now I couldn’t give a present without a card. I stamped the onesie from TGF onto some pattern paper and fussy cut out, popped onto some white card stock and added to card base. The sentiment is from Jane’s Doodles The sky’s the limit. Love making personalised cards.
Until next time
Cheers

Hello
Popping in to share a few more cards I made recently. It was fun to colour these up.
This little lady from AnnaBelle Stamps was fun to colour. I Fussy cut her out and popped her up on this tag die and then onto my card front.
These 2 from Kaszazz came together super fast, simple stamping with my repositioning stamp tool.
Love the look on the bear’s face! They remind me of old story books.
A llama from Newtons Nook coloured with alcohol markers and popped up on to a background I created a while ago using a stencil, embossing paste and ink refill.
Another Llama from Newton’s Nook also coloured with alcohol markers and popped up on to a stencil/embossing paste background.
I loved the look of the pots so I stamped a few, coloured and popped 2 up with foam tabs.
I love this sentiment. So true!
So now the weather is a little cooler (for a day or so!) I intend to finish binding a quilt I made for another recent addition to the extended family. Fingers crossed I can pop back and share mid week.
Until next time
Cheers

Hello
Today I have a few Uniko cards to share. My card stash is rather depleted!
I was lucky enough to win 2 sets (Hello Lovely and Simply Said) from Uniko recently and when they arrived I was part way through restocking my card stash so they got inked up straight away!
These first two cards use the Hello Lovely set. I cololured extra images with alcohol markers, fussy cut them out and popped them ontop of the other images.
This card I used a combination of Originally Organic and Originally Organic Additions to make my own pattern paper. Again coloured with alcohol markers.
Lastly some paper piecing with Some Bunny.
I hope to be back again soon to share some more cards.
Cheers

Hello
It’s that time of year! Is everyone super busy? It has been very busy in my house, loads of things happening with my 4 kiddos/young adults now!
Today I’m sharing my super simple Christmas Card for Unstampabelles. This card could not be any simplier! A fab die cut in glitter paper mounted onto red card and all added to a square card base. Perfect for that last minute card!
Hope you have time to link up your creation at Unstampabelles.
#118: The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
TWIST: Keep it simple please
As I am unlikely to post again before the jolly man in the red suit appears I will take this time to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a huge thank you to my followers especially the ones who take the time to leave a comment. I really appreciate my bloggy friends!
Until next time
Cheers

Hello
It’s my turn to share over at Unstampabelles
The challenge this month is…….
This is quite an open theme – it can be about someone colouring your world, or about something colourful in your world or about colour -what is your favorite?
As Christmas is almost here I have made a colourful Christmas card. I die cut 5 trees from bright cardstock and used glitter paper to die cut the sentiment. The trees are finished with a silver die cut star.
I am also linking up to the challenge at Christmas Card Throwdown
Hope you can join in the challenge
Until time
Cheers

Hello
My turn to share at Unstampabelles today
My page from a book is a page from an old phone directory. We don’t have these anymore, however before the last one went in the recycling I tore out a few pages with the intent on using them on cards or a paper creation of some kind. Well today is the day! I have coupled a piece of the page with a coloured section of some black and white pattern paper to create a “happy new home” card. And that is the story part – or at least the start of a new chapter for someone.
What will you create? What is your story? Join in the challenge here
Until next time
Cheers

Hello
Just thought I would pop in and share a few recent finished projects before I start the next one!
A finished quilt as you go upcycled HST shirt quilt
and the reverse.
I love the extra texture with more quilting lines.
and of course a matching head band!
Until next time
Cheers

Hello
It’s my turn to share at Unstampabelles
The TWIST of a stencilled background is to get you using those stencils laying around in some form or other – or you can make your own stencil and use that to create a background. The background can be in chalk, paint, ink, but we must see the stencilling clearly to make sure it is not a stamp. Some stencils and stamps look so alike.
A 3D object made from card that has been stencilled or a scrapbook page or a journal piece….or a card! Whatever direction your creative juices can take you with this is fine.
I made a bunch of stencil backgrounds a little while ago with embossing paste. I have used one as the background for this card. The embossing paste was tinted with ink.
A simple die cut greeting, once in gold foil and once with foam, finished with a few vellum leaves.
Sympathy cards are never nice to make. Sadly this week I had 2 to send as 2 of my friends lost their 90 year old relatives.
I hope to see you in the challenge
Until next time
Cheers

Hello
A recent addiction! the new give it a whirl dies from SU. I know I could probaby do the math and work this out but a die makes it so quick and easy! The spinning reminds me of the cards I received in my childhood.
I paired the dies with Altenew Baby Shower stamp set.
Thanks for stopping
Until next time
Cheers
