Papersmooches Blossoming Buds…

Hello

 

I have been playing with Papersmooches Blossoming Buds and thought I would link up to the current challenge here

Here is my first card Papersmooches Blossoming Buds teamed with PTI Penned Elegance. Coloured with alcohol markers.

 

And my second card is teamed with Jane’s Doodles Mother’s Day.  Once again coloured with alcohol markers.

 

Both sentiment pieces are cut using SSS stitched circles & ME Sew Fancy dies.

 

Thanks for stopping by

A little creative catch up…

Hello

 

When I posted yesterday I realised I had a few other creations I hadn’t shared. So here they are.

A recent 21st card for a Tigers fan

I used My Cute Stamps circus animals and SSS stitched circles dies along with SU Large numbers.

A planter box for a another significant birthday – this time for one of my walking/book club friends who happens to love gardening.

I used Bronwyn Eastley’s pattern here along with various SU stamps and dies.

A Unicorn card – a special request.

This time I used Jane’s Doodles and SU Beautiful Bouquet stamps & dies.

A little error here the kiddos also requested a unicorn card for this girl last year for her birthday and you guessed correct I used Jane’s Doodles Unicorn stamp set for the same girl’s card last year. (Insert embarassed face).  When I looked back at last years card it only had one unicorn so hopefully significantly different.  Needless to say next year I’ll either have to invest in a new unicorn stamp set or make another style of card.

Lastly an update on my Bernate Hi Lo Jumper.

Almost finished the front!

I have another request from the family and a pile of mending so I will get on with that in the coming days.

Until next time

Cheers

Unstampabelles…

Hello

 

Today I am sharing my take on the current challenge at Unstampabelles here

The theme is sets of three

 

The TWIST is to use cardboard

There is a prize on offer for a random number draw but

 you will not get a chance to win that

unless you enter and

your entry has NO STAMPS PLEASE.

Prize

I am also entering this to the current challenge at Crafting with Dragonflies here

 

My card is a z fold card.  Rather addictive fold once you make one and very effective.

I die cut stars of various sizes from a shipping box and from some glittery cardstock.  I also punched some smaller stars and die cut the sentiment from SSS. I placed the stars in groups of 3 on the top edges of the card folds.

Hope to see your creation in the gallery.

Until next time

Cheers

Oh baby…

Hello

 I’m popping in today to share a few baby cards.

I am linking up to the current challenge at ScrapbookBoutique here

Last week was a busy week with 2 friends from knitting group becoming grandmothers, my cousin became a grandma for the second time and one of my book club buddies welcomed another into her extended family.

One of my friends asked me to make a card.  So I made several. Sorry this is going to be a bit of a pic overload. Cause when I have everything out and I can’t decide I just get on a roll.  Especially with the Noah’s Ark.  Decided to make a few colour ways as I coloured up a few images at once.

Using ABS digital paper (the stripes match the shorts on the mood board), SU Made with Love, Su Baby’s first framelits and Simon Says Stamp baby.

Using Papersmooches Fascinators to create a shelf, ME Carnival Cupcakes & dies with digital pattern paper and ME just hatched.  Do you think the little creatures are to straight? I wanted them to look like they are sitting on a shelf maybe the little rabbit should be leaning to one side. What do you think?

This one uses PTI Sweet baby, SSS baby, stitched dies and circle dies.

SU Baby’s first framelits and SSS baby.

This is the one she chose. SU Two by Two coloured with alcohol markers die cut with circle die and layed onto doily die.

I stamped and coloured a few images while I had the markers out and made a few for my stash.

I recently resigned from my part time job so today is my first day I would normally be at work.  I have applied for a few jobs. So what am I going to do in the meantime? After a little bit of tiding up I plan to turn on the sewing machine and maybe make another card or two.  I finished a quilt last week which I will share another day. I started another one some time ago and would like to make some progress on it.

Thanks for stopping

Cheers

Birthday Party Animal…

Hello

I’m back with another Birthday card 🙂

This one I am linking up to the following challenges

NBUS #6 here

Seize the Birthday – Anything Goes here

Happy Little Stampers here

Here is my card

I have managed to use 4 NBUS products here! I stamped my NBUS Wplus 9 party animals onto xpress blending card stock and coloured with my NBUS copic markers (I bought a new pack of copic earth tones at the local craft shop sale this week) once coloured they were die cut with NBUS coordinating die.  The background circles are cut from circle die and NBUS SSS Stitched circles die in SU Old olive and some ancient pattern paper.  Once these were in place on my card front I added my animals with foam tape and the sentiment from PTI World’s greatest stamped in Memento Luxe ink.

Thanks for stopping by

Have a great weekend – a long one for some

Cheers

Birthday Celebration…

Hello

Boy has Melbourne’s weather changed. Gotta love it.

Today was meant to be the first netball training night, but Melbourne weather has other plans. That means I get a little more time. Hopefully I will get to play with more than one NBUS item tonight.

Here is my first

I am linking up to

NBUS challenge here

and my card

I started by stamping NBUS SSS Birthday Celebration elephant on to express cardstock and colouring with alcohol markers. I then layered and mounted onto card front using pattern paper.  The sentiment is from the same set also mounted and then popped up with foam tape.

Now if you have been following me for a while this may look familiar.  I didn’t realise I have CASed myself until I was editing the pic – this card is very similar to the card I made for my daughter back in December here. I’m going with CASing rather than memory loss – yes you can stop laughing now.  I obviously have a liking for elephants with balloons and paper that is red with white spots! You would think I would remember to use a different pattern paper at least 🙂

Now I’m off to prep dinner.  If all goes to plan I’ll get a little play time later tonight.

Until next time

Cheers

Uniko Flower power…

Hello

Today I am sharing a card I have made using Uniko Flower Power #6 & #7 combined with at sentiment from SSS.

I am linking up to the current challenges at

Virginia’s View here

and

Stamp Ink Paper Challenge #4 here

and

Loves Rubber Stamps challenge #159 here

Here is my card

I used the two Uniko sets with SU inks in Soft Sky, Baja Breeze, Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery and So Saffron.  I stamped the full images than the outline in a slightly darker ink mostly off centre. When complete I stamped the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp It’s your birthday stamp set in memento tuxedo black ink. I mounted onto Pink Pirouette cardstock and attached to my card front. I card for my stash.

I also have a few tags I made using Uniko Flower Power and Mama Elephant stitched tag die from the basic set.

I used sentiments from Uniko Flower power #2 along with images from Flower Power #1 and #5 and Background Builders Flower Power.

This tag used background builders stamped with Bermuda Bay ink 3 times

This tag used image from Flower Power #5 stamped with SU Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil delight ink

The last tag used SU Night of Navy and Real Red ink and an image from Flower Power #1

These were all fairly quick. As it is school holidays I have been a little busy with Museum, Scienceworks and zoo trips plus having the children’s friends over. It is a different type of busy to the normal school term which starts back on Monday.

I hope to share some more soon. The 3 girls have gone out with their Dad and Mr 17 is studying so that means I get a little uninterrupted play time with some new toys.

Cheers

Vicki
