Super Sweet

Hello!

 

It is Thursday and only one more day until the end of a very hectic week.  We are bracing ourselves here in Sydney for some very hot weather.  Today it was 38 degrees and tomorrow and the weekend are looking to be the same or even 41 degrees.

 

I know my daughter loves it as she is in the pool!

 

I just wanted to share with you a card I made for my Cousin and his Wife who recently had a little baby boy called Sam.  Mum chose the 3D decoupage image and then the layout for my card was inspired by the current sketch at Mojo Monday.

 

I added some random liquid pearls on the right side of the swirls on the paper, unfortunately they cannot be seen in this picture but they added a little bit more texture to the card.

 

I just love the stamp from the That’s the Ticket Stampin Up stamp set, it reads 100% Perfect Precious Baby.

 

Here is my card:

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp: Teeny Tiny Sentiments, That’s the Ticket, Love & Joy, Gorgeous Grunge
Card: Crumb Cake, Whisper White
Ink: Crumb Cake, Baked Brown Sugar 
Accessories: Duo Ticket & Scallop Edge Punches, Bo Bunny Welcome Home Flourish Fairy Belle Collection Paper, Fairy Belle Collection “Marcelle” Paper, Sharon Ann Little Ones Collection “My Precious Boy” Light Blue Paper, 3D Moreheads Decoupage, Nestabilities Eyelet Circles Die, Whisper White Organza Ribbon, Liquid Pearls White Opal & Platinum Pearl, Dimensionals

 

 

This is the sketch

Mother’s Day

We have a quiet and relaxed Mother’s Day this year. 

 

As  Mum is on crutches still after breaking her ankle and my Daughter had a soccer game at midday the morning was very quiet.  The Autumn weather was warm in the sun so it was lovely to sit and watch Charlize’s game.

 

We then went and had coffee and later a lovely dinner together.

 

I hope that all the Mother’s everywhere have also had a lovely day!!

 

I just wanted to share with you my card I made for Mum, quite simple and I just adore the sentiment.  The stamp set is a retired stamp set called Blessed Mother and the sentiment was punched out using the Decorative Label punch.

 

The larger butterflies were punched out using the Elegant Butterfly punch and then I layered some smaller butterflies which had been die cut and embossed using the Beautiful Wings Embosslits die.

 

Here is my card:

 

 

 

 

The splatter is from the one of the stamps from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set and has been stamped in Chocolate Chip and retired Regal Rose ink.  This set is great for creating male cards too.

 

The last touch a little bling on the butterflies!.

Hi everyone,

 

Hope you are having a great weekend, we have had a lovely Summer’s day here in Sydney and the heat has been reduced with the Summer’s breeze.

 

We have a new challenge over at Come and Get It and this week we are challenging your clean and simple skills.  So CAS (Clean and Simple) is the theme.

 

If you love CAS or maybe you are up for a challenge to create something CAS then please join our challenge and show us your creations.

 

The colours of my card are Coastal Cabana and Very Vanilla and the sentiment is from the Chalk Talk stamp set.  The flicks of colour are from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set and there is of course some butterflies which I have layered.

 

Here is my card:

 

 

I tried to line up the flicks of colours so that they lined up on the Very Vanilla.

 

I really like the two colours together and you could re-create this card in some many colour combos.

CCC Anything Goes

We have a great two week Anything Goes challenge at Crafty Creations as well as a prize blog hop which is on some of the Design Team blogs.

 

The CAS layout of my card was inspired by the current MUSE challenge which is quite CAS on the front but loved the flowers too.

 

Plus I need a card for my Mum for her birthday on Thursday and she loves soft feminine colours and the sentiment was perfect.

 

Here is my card:

 

 

 

All Stampin’ Up products and I have used the Secret Garden Stamp set with the co-ordinating dies. The flicks of colour have been created using one the stamps from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set.

 

Some DSP from the Etcetera series and a scallop edge punch with just a touch of bling.
