Little Miss Bitty

Hi everyone, the weekend has past so quickly and I hope you have had or are having a great one.

 

It’s sketch challenge time at Come and Get IT challenges, if you are up for a challenge pop over and see what the Design Team have created and join in the fun!!

 

The colours I had in my head to create my card  just didn’t work but eventually something clicked and I have used Island Indigo for the base of my card with some Cherry Cobbler card stock.  I  added some of the Timeless Portrait DSP also.

 

The image is the sponsors image and I have coloured Little Miss Bitty in with the aqua painter using River Rock, Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede, Blushing Bride and Daffodil Delight ink.

 

The image has been cut out using Spellbinders Nestabilities which I haven’t used before – bad I know.  The sentiment is from the My Friend stamp set.

 

Here is my card….

Clean & Simple – My Friend

HI everyone,

 

I have a quick Clean and Simple (CAS) card to share with you.

 

The layout of the card is from the Less is More challenges and I have used the square sketch.

 

The main cardstock and ink used is Perfect Plum and the sentiment is from the My Friend stamp set.

 

The square is 6.5 cm x 6.5 cm and I have scored a single line at 0.5 cm on each side which you can just see in the photo.

 

I have stamped the flower image from the Creative Elements stamp set in the middle of the square.  I then stamped the image a further 2 times on scrap paper and cut out a few different sections and layered them on the main image with dimensionals. 

 

Here’s my card:

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Creative Elements, My Friend

Card: Perfect Plum, Whisper White
Ink: Perfect Plum

Accessories:  Modern Label Punch, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

I am really happy with this card and it was so quick to do.  This layout would be great to create a couple of cards for a gift….. hmm Mother’s Day is not far away!

Layer Punch Flowers

Well I hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was busy but us girls - my Mum, my daughter and I had a lovely dinner together on Saturday night :)

 

Now on to the card I wanted to share with you.

 

The layout is the Mojo Monday layout # 237 and I have combined it with the colour challenge from Play Date Cafe which is very bright Orange and Pink with White.

 

I used the Triple Layer Punch and I punched out 4 flowers in Tangerine Tango and Melon Mambo.

 

I used the outline of the Melon Mambo flowers and attached them to a Whisper White  strip of card stock.  I added dimensionals to the back of the Tangerine Tango punched flower and lined it up the Melon Mambo outline with some ‘bling’ to the centre of the punched flower. 

 

The base card of Tangerine Tango was embossed with the Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and I swiped the Tangerine Tango ink pad across the card stock.

 

I daubered a light touch of Tangerine Tango ink to the edge of the Whisper White strip but I wanted to add a little bit more.  So with a scrap of Melon Mambo card stock I punched out a border with the Lace Ribbon Border punch.  I cut the border in half and daubered some Whisper White craft ink on the Melon Mambo border to soften the colour a little.

 

The sentiment “Cherish” is from the Baroque Motifs stamp set and has been punched out with the Modern Label punch.

 

Here is my card:

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Baroque Motifs

Card: Tangerine Tango, Melon Mambo, Whisper White
Ink: Tangerine Tango, Melon Mambo, Whisper White Craft Ink

Accessories:  Triple Layer Punch Blossom Bouquet, Modern Label Punch, Lace Ribbon Border Punch, Stripes Textured Impression Embossing Folder, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

This is different to my normal cards but I just gave it a try to see what I would get – as a number of my other stamping buddies say “it’s only cardstock” and you don’t know until you try.

Simply Happy Birthday

Hi everyone,

 

Hope your Easter was safe and wonderful.  We had a lovely time together and the Easter Bunny definitely found his way to our home!

 

I have a card to share with you and again I have used some of the new Attic Boutique DSP, hmm a definite favourite at the moment.

 

The base card is Poppy Parade and the flower is form the Array of Sunshine Hostess Stamp Set. 

 

The flower has been stamped three times and cut out and layered with dimensionals.  I have added touch of Daffodil Delight ink with a dauber to the smallest layer. 

 

There is ‘bling’ in the centre and the sentiment is from the Happiest Birthday Wishes Hostess Stamp Set.

 

 

 Supplies:

Stamp set: Happiest Birthday Wishes, Array of Sunshine

Card: Poppy Parade, Pool Party, Whisper White
Ink: Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Soft Suede

Accessories:  Eyelet Border Punch, Attic Boutique DSP, sponge daubers, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

The layout is from Clean and Simple and I have changed it a little but not much. 

 

I am happy with the end result and it was a quick card to make. It’s lovely and bright but very girly too!

Field of Flowers

Hi everyone,

 

I have been away for a few days celebrating my birthday and I have had a great time which included my my sister flying up for Melbourne to spend the weekend.

 

I caught up with my friends whom I stamp with on Friday night and had birthday cake and a cup of Tea.  Then last night I had a long talk to my best friend that lives in London.

 

This is the first chance I have had to do some crafting and I created a card with the Field Flowers stamp set.  It is a lovely 2 step stamp set and I have also used some of the Lucky Limeade Organdy Ribbon that is  in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue.

 

I have taken my colour inspiration from the Play Date Cafe challenge and the sketch inspiration from Moving Along with the Times.  The colours used were Blushing Bride, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake and Lucky Limeade.

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Field Flowers

Card: Blushing Bride, Crumb Cake, Lucky Limeade, Very Vanilla
Ink: Lucky Limeade, Crumb Cake, Blushing Bride, Regal Rose

Accessories:  1/8” (3.2 mm) Lucky Limeade Organdy Ribbon, Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folders,  Curly Label Punch, 1-3/4” (4.4 cm) Circle Punch, Basic Rhinestones,  Dazzling Diamonds, SNAIL Adhesive

 

Unfortunately you cannot see from the photo the Dazzling Diamonds that I added to the centre of the larger flower and on the top of the smaller blossom.  There is always room for more bling of course  :)

For Mum

Hi everyone,

 

This card is for my Mum.

 

I used the one of the sentiments from the Blessed Mother stamp set, I like both sentiments but this one I think suited the card.

 

I used Marina Mist for the base of the card and a sample of the paper from Beau Chateau DSP.  My Mum loves the sort of look of this DSP with its soft colours.

 

I used the Two Tags Die and cut out one of the tags in Crumb Cake and the other in Very Vanilla.  The ribbon is the Very Vanilla Velvet Designer Ribbon, which is available in the current Summer Mini.  It is feels so lovely!

 

Of course there is ‘bling’ as I added some Rhinestones and the light swirl is from the Creative Elements stamp set.

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Blessed Mother, Creative Elements
Ink: Marina Mist

Card Stock: Marina Mist, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla

Accessories:  1-3/3/8” (1 cm) Very Vanilla Velvet Designer Ribbon, Two Tags Dies, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive
