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….

Stamp set: My Friend, Fred She Said Little Miss Bitty

Flowers and Butterflies

Hi everyone, just one more day to the weekend – Yah!

 

Just wanted to share with you a card I created with the following three challenges in mind:

 

1. Paper Players Sketch challenge – #92 Sketch
2. Simply Stampin Challenges – Colour - Pink Pirouette, Marina Mist, Soft Suede & Very Vanilla
3. Sweet Stampin Challenges – Use more than 1 Ribbon

 

I have used Soft Suede for the base of my card with a layer of Marina Mist. The images and sentiment come from the Field Flowers stamp set.

 

I have not added ‘bling’ … but I have added some Pearls and they have been placed on the butterflies which have been embossed and cut using the Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die in the Big Shot.

 

As this stamp set is a two step stamping set I have used some Regal Rose to create the darker layer on my flowers but otherwise I have used only the colours in the challenge.

 

I have also changed the sketch a little but it is pretty close to the original layout.

 

Here is my card:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Field Flowers

Card: Pink Pirouette, Marina Mist, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla
Ink: Pink Pirouette, Regal Rose, Soft Suede

Easter Treat

Hi everyone,

 

Things have been rather busy leading up to Easter and I haven’t had a chance to do any crafting.

 

But after browsing on the internet last night, I had a thought to create a little Easter Box for my daughter to take to school today and share some Easter eggs with her friends.

 

I have not ventured into creating anything with my punches I have just used them as punches but my searches let me to You Tube and I found a video that was linked by Dee - click here to see the video and the link to Dee’s website. Dee’ used her punches to create a little bunny.

 

Such a simple and creative Bunny but he needed a box to sit on and I found a video with a tutorial link on You Tube from SplitCoastStampers – click here to see.  The tutorial/video is for a Pillow Box Bucket and I got to use my Pillow Box die to create something else too.

 

Some of the punches I did not have so I used other punches or things in my stash to create the box and Bunny. 

 

There are also Silver Brads on the side of the box for the handle and I use a strip of the new Attic Boutique DSP.

 

Now isn’t he cute!  But the eggs look good too don’t they, hmmmm all that chocolate :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Tagtastic (Hostess)

Card: Pretty in Pink, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink: Pretty In Pink, Soft Suede

Accessories: Scallop Oval Punch, Owl Builder,  1-3/4” (4.4 cm) Circle Punch, Small Oval Punch, Large Oval Punch, Circle Scissor Plus & Glass Mat, Attic Boutique DSP, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Sticky Strip, Sponge Dauber, 2 Way Glue Pen, Silver Brad, Crop-A-Dile, White Crayon, Biro, Soft Suede Ribbon (Retired), SNAIL Adhesive

For the Guys

Hi everyone,

 

I have had a great time making this card.  There are so many challenges out there at the moment to create a male card, which is a challenge in itself and something that I do not do often except for Father’s Day or Dad’s Birthday.

 

I really only have one male stamp and it is the retired SU Motorcycle image and that is because my Dad loves bikes.

 

So with this one stamp I was on the hunt for different colour schemes and a sketch to fit my look.

The sketch is from Seems a Little Sketchy.

 

I found my colour inspirations in the Spice Cake DSP which is the current Summer Mini and I have used Soft Suede, More Mustard, River Rock and Very Vanilla.

 

I stamped the bike in Soft Suede on Very Vanilla cardstock and I then used the stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the image again with Versamark so that I could emboss with clear embossing powder.

 

I used a dauber to sponge some More Mustard Ink around the edges of the Very Vanilla card stock and then used the Colour Spritzer Tool to create Soft Suede ink spots on the cardstock.

 

The sentiment is from the Perfect Words Hostess stamp set which is stamped on Very Vanilla Card stock in Soft Suede and punched out using the Modern Label punch.  I then trimmed the ends and sponged some More Mustard ink on the edges.  I layered the Very Vanilla sentiment on a punched out Modern Label which is in More Mustard cardstock.

 

The River Rock strip was ripped and added a much loved and often forgotten Vintage Brad to finish off.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Motorcycle, Perfect Words

Card: More Mustard, River Rock, Very Vanilla

Ink: Soft Suede, More Mustard, VersaMark

Accessories:  Modern Label Punch, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Color Spritzer Tool, Sponge Daubers, Clear Emboss Powder, Antique Brads, Spice Cake DSP, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wow – did you guess what is missing and is the norm for me?  Yes ‘Bling’, I didn’t think it was appropriate this time :)
