Sunny Sketch

Hi Everyone,

Well, this is my last week as Guest Designer for Sunny Challenges and Creations. I must say I have had a ball of fun working with Gwen, Chris & Vicky, they’ve really helped me get motivated.

Here’s my card for the sketch this week…

The paper is from the Festival of Prints paper stack – very versatile! The stamp I have used is the Memorable Moments stamp set along with the party hat from Papaya Collage. I used the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder on the banners and sponged them with Calypso Coral and Crumb Cake inks.

The delicious Taffeta ribbon is sitting a labels Framelit and the Delicate Doilies die cut from Calypso Coral cardstock. I also love how the Labels framelit fits perfectly around the frame stamp from the Memorable Moments stamp set. I couldn’t draw those dots any straighter than that!

I hope you like my card this week, and I look forward to seeing what you make to enter into the Sketch Challenge at Sunny Challenges and Creations.

I am sad to end my Guest Designer spot, but am also looking forward to entering the challenges to come.

Ciao for now…

U Rock My Mojo

Hi Everyone,

It’s Mojo Monday time again and I love this card!

The sketch was soooo much fun as I got to use some new items, like the wonderful Paper-Piercing Tool available from Stampin’ Up. It’s on page 181 of the Annual Catalogue is amazing value for money! I used it to pierce around the sentiment in a perfect sized circle and also on the inside and outside of the Curly Label punch. (Which is also new to me – how have I lived without this punch for so long?)

Of course the doily die was inescapable on this sketch..

As was the little Bitty heart shaped Button that I’ve tied with a bit of Lucky Limeade Bakers Twine.  You may also notice that I used a multitude of Green’s for this card from Old Olive to Certainly Celery with Lucky Limeade in between. It just goes to show that different tones of similar colours can look wonderful together!

Hiding in my Craft Room is all about Die cuts this week, 

so I thought i'd share my card there too. 

The Delicate Doilies Die is lovely after all. (he he the start of an addiction me thinks!)
 I hope my card Rocks your world too! Ciao for now…

Thank You Card

Mojo Monday strikes again with a wonderful sketch challenge to accomplish. 

Do you like the bakers twine butterfly trails?

Here’s the sketch…

Dynamic Duos also picked a lovely colour combo this week, so I combined the two again!

I had a blast making this card, the butterflies were all stamped on glossy paper, either fussy cut or punched out – depending on the size. Then a bit of Dazzling Details in Silver Sparkle – Stampin’ Ups own version of glitter glue which can be found on page 23 of the Holiday Catalogue.

The Delicate Doilies Sizzlets have become a fast favourite of mine. Here I used Whisper White cardstock to cut the doily and then rubbed it all over the Pool Part ink pad to give it just the right colour – without wasting my Pool Party coloured cardstock! 

Just a little tip for you

That’s it for now with the Papillon Potpourri stamp set and the Elegant Butterfly die. A wonderful combination of tools to make life easy indeed!

Have a great day now.

Multi Purpose Card

Hi Everyone,

I’m back in the middle of a long week-end here in Qld and how busy have I been!

This card is made with no sentiment on purpose
 I figured I needed a ‘Multi-Purpose’ card in my stash.

Sunny Challenges and Creations always have a great sketch, and this week is no different,

check it out..

 

I have gone and turned it on it’s side – and used something from the new  Catalogue as suggested – Delicate Doilies Sizzlits along with some embossing folders and the gorgeous swirl stamp from the Everything Eleanor stamp set.

The colour scheme this week is from Dynamic Duos – always a bit of fun.

As you can see I used Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake cardstock, some pearls to accent and Voila – one Multi Purpose card!

I’ll be back soon with a new technique for me – some lovely layers, so keep an eye out for it, you’ll love it!

Ciao for now…
