Hello

Today I am sharing for the current Unstampabelles Challenge here

RED, BLUE and YELLOW

Guess what?  This month’s challenge is:

 It’s all about the cake….

TWIST use mainly the primary colours

RED, YELLOW and BLUE!

This is the random number prize – an embossing folderI created 3 cupcakes using PTI cupcake die and red, yellow & blue CS along with some Kraft cardstock for the cupcake wrappers.  The wrappers I ran through SU stripes embossing folder.  For some sparkle I used some washi tape before adding my card front to my card base.  I used a die cut sentiment from SU Mini treat bag dies – remember no stamps.  I popped all the cupcakes onto the card front with foam tabs.  To finish off I used some wink of stella and some glossy accents. Love the sparkle.

Hope to see you in the gallery.

Until next time thanks for visiting

Cheers

With a Flourish or two…

Happy Sunday everyone.

Sharing a couple of cards.

This first card I made using Flourishes Kids at Play and Annabelle Stamps Sentimental Bluebells “Happy Birthday” Sentiment.

I started this card with a black card front. I cut the patterned paper from Cosmo Cricket Social Club just short of the amount I needed so I could trim and have my two black lines showing through. I then stamped my image using Versa fine Onyx Black on SBB kraft cardstock. I then used my distressing tool to sponge various inks onto my background. The sentiment was stamped onto a die cut scallop which I taped to the side of my image. Before I attached my image to the card front with foam tabs I felt it needed a little brightening up so I added some red cardstock from my scraps stash. I am linnking this upto the following challenges.

My second card uses Flourishes Kids at Play and the sentiment is from Call me also by Flourishes stamped in SU Crumb Cake ink. I have CAS(E) this card from http://flourishes.org/2013/06/focus-on-the-beach-and-more-about-silke/

This is the original

and mine

For my card I have used SBB Kraft Cardstock, October Afternoon Farmhouse 8 x 8 pad along with Kaisercraft lace, Sizzix SU stripe embossing folder, Annabelle Stamps Natural Hemp Dienamics Rolled rose and CC Designs Leafy Branch dies. The button, ribbon, pearls and yellow cardstock are from my stash.

One for the hard working guys…

Well how time does get away between posts.

I have used a free digi from Birdie Brown coloured using markers (SU Lucky Limeade, Midnight Muse, Tim Holtz Antique linen – my substitute for crumb cake!). I moved the colour around with my aqua marker before fussy cutting and popping up with foam tabs. I die cut an Ezy press cog die and used a lifestyle crafts nesting circle to cut out the centre in SU whisper white. This is all fixed to a crumb cake card front embossed using SU stripes embossing folder. I have also die cut MFT tool charms in midnight muse.  The sentiment is from ABS Lil Monster’s Balloon.

I am linking this upto the following challenges

Ornament Punch & Owl Punch

I was having a bit of a play with these two punches to use them in ways other than what was intended! Trying to extend the use of my products.

I took a photo on the angle to show how I had used embossing folders to add texture to the plain cardstock.

I used

SU Best of Everything,  Pocket Silhouettes & Happiest Birthday Wishes

2010-2012 In Colours CS (Poppy Parade, Pear Pizzazz & Concord Crush)

SU Markers Not Quite Navy, Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade, Garden Green & Wisteria Wonder.

SU Ornament Punch & Owl Punch

SU Embossing Folders – Stripes & Elegant Bouquet

Non SU – shop bought card base, black & white CS

I know you can use the ornament punch for fish and the owl punch for soooo many other things. So hopefully I will get time to play next week.

Busy weekend planned. Two parties and maybe a trip to the Museum.

Cheers

Sherbies!

Today I have a card I have made for The Lollipop Ladies Challenge #53 – Sherbies + Embossing and the sponser is AnnaBelle Stamps

http://thelollipopladies.blogspot.com.au/2012/09/challenge-53-sherbies_2.html

I have used Scrapbook Boutique Marine Cardstock from Summer Colours Pack along with orange cardstock from my stash to make the Sherbies. Each of the sherbies is stamped with a sentiment using SU Pacific Point Ink. Sentiments from My Cute Stamps Birthday Numbers, PTI Mega Mixed Messages and PTI Tiny Tags. The lolly closures are stamped in Versafine Onyx black from SU Sweet Summer – yes a flower stamp. I have popped two of the sherbies up with foam dots. Before I added the sherbies to my card front I embossed the white card stock with SU Textured Impressions Stripes Embossing Folder and wrapped some WeRMemory Keepers Orange Baker’s twine around the card front.

I think the 13 year old this is destined for will like it.  I’ll have to give some “real” sherbies with her gift.

Predicting a lovely day here in Melbourne today. Yeah!

Have a great day.

Cheers
