Everything Eleanor

Dear Crafters,

Sale-a-bration may be over, but the Occasions & Annual Catalogues still provide us with so much to choose from, so let’s have a look and see what else we can create!

Today I enter a sketch challenge at Just Add Ink, #305!

jaisketch_2018

 

I started with a Crumb Cake card base which I embossed with the Elegant Dots TIEF.

I stamped a piece of Whisper White card with Crumb Cake ink using the Everything Eleanor stamp set, before slicing it into 1 1/2″ strips. I sponged the edges with a dauber and the Crumb Cake ink, before adhering it to another piece of Crumb Cake card stock. I wrapped a piece of coordinating ribbon around it and added a bow.

I stamped the flower image 3 times using the masking technique and fussy cut them out. I used my Wink of Stella (clear) brush dipped in some Blushing Bride ink to colour them. I’m not sure you can see the shine in the photos?!!!!

IMG_5560

I stamped the bird in Crumb Cake ink onto Whisper White card stock and fussy cut it and added it to the card with dimensionals.

Lastly, I added some Dazzling Details to the stamen.

It is school holidays here in Australia and my 9 year old also wanted to have a go at this challenge, so here is her card. She created this all by herself without any help what-so-ever from me. I was quite impressed!

So long, Farewell

Dear Crafters,

Can you believe it is already April? Where has the year gone?

Today I have a cute Farewell card to share with you.  I just love it and it reminds me of the kids movie, UP!

I was commissioned to make a masculine farewell card, and this has been one that I have wanted to make for some time now.

Balloon Bouquet Punch, Masculine, Farewell card, Stampin Up, Occasions 2016

The balloons were made using the Balloon Builder Punch. A piece of gold cording trim behind each and added with dimensionals. The house is a square with a triangle for the roof. The windows were cut from white card and I used my Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker to draw on the curtains!

I have loved the free products this year, but I guess it isn’t long until we have the brand new Annual catalogue to look forward to, and the Occasions Catalogue is still available until 31st May.

But before then, let’s have a look at a few more Occasions catalogue products!

I love the It’s My Party DSP and the coordinating Party Wishes stamp set and Party Punch Pack. Having all these items coordinate, makes it so easy to create our favourite projects without having the think too much.

The Number of Years Framelits have also been a huge hit with all crafters and I sure hope we will see these again, maybe in the Annual catalogue 😉

Here is another little cake stand card that I made with the same products. Isn’t it just the cutest?!!!

Birthday Blooms

Dear Crafters,

This Birthday Blooms stamp set is just stunning and I really don’t want to see it retire on 31st May. I think it is such a gorgeous bloom that can be used for so many styles of cards, whether it be Easter, Farewell, Mother’s Day, Thinking of You, etc. So versatile!

Click here to add it to your order!

Birthday Blooms, Farewell Handmade Card, DIY, Occasions 2016  #stampinup

My colour scheme is Watermelon Wonder &Mossy Meadow. I stamped the image with black ink onto Shimmery White cardstock, before using the Wink of Stella Clear Brush to add colour using the ink pads.

The backgound image is just stamped multiple times in Watermelon Wonder ink.

Birthday, Holiday Catalogue, Masculine, Stampin' Up!

Beach Box

Dear Crafters,

Today’s card is a twist on using the Sleigh Ride Edgelits from the last Holiday Catalogue to create a beach scene. Who would have thought!!!!

IMG_4648

How cute are the beach boxes?!!!  You’ll notice that I have trimmed some of them to turn them from a church, into a beach box and coloured them in stripes with a Stampin Write Marker.

I also used Stampin Write Markers for the sand and water, but the sky I sponged with Soft Sky ink. The birds are drawn by hand with a marker.

IMG_4653

I added the sequins last. What do you think of my beachy card?

I originally saw this idea while searching on Pinterest, a card by Tracey May. Thanks Tracey for your inspiration!

Skater Girl

Dear Crafters,

Today I share with you a card I was commissioned to make for a work colleague who requested a card for her daughter who loves skateboarding!

Here’s what I came up with:

IMG_4644

To begin, I stamped the skateboard from the Skating By stamp set and then the female figure from the Hey Girl stamp set.

I coloured the images with Copic markers, but stamped the female image onto some Brights Collection DSP and cut out the dress only and glued it on the stamped image for a pretty patterned dress! What a clever idea, hey!!!

IMG_4646

The balloon was also stamped onto DSP and cut out using the Balloon Bouquet punch, then added with a dimensional.

IMG_4645

Don’t forget to add am image to the inside of the card and coordinate the envelope to match. I thought this cute floral image was perfect.

Sunburst Corner

Dear Crafters,

Today I shane another of the projects that we did last week during my Techniques class, the Sunburst Technique.

IMG_4657

I once again focused on using the Wildflower Fields DSP and the coordinating Flowering Fields stamp set.

The Wink of Stella pen was also used on the stamped flower, although it is very hard to see in the photo, but it is so shiny with a bit of sparkle!

I also did some paper piercing along the edges of sun rays for some added detail.

IMG_4659

I love this technique, it just shows off our gorgeous Designer Series Papers so well!

Here’s another variation using the very pretty, Love Blossoms DSP!

Calendar Card

Dear Crafters,

Today I share with you one of the projects we made at my Techniques class last week.

These mini tab calendars prove popular every year, and my class attendees love making projects with them.

IMG_4654

We have made an easel card and added the calendar, so the recipient can have it standing on their desk, wardrobe, where ever they place it for the whole year to admire.

We used the Flowering Fields stamp set which we coloured with Stampin’ Write Markers. The background is the Designer Series Paper, Wildflower Fields which coordinates with this stamp set.

IMG_4661

I love that we have something quite Australian in the range.

IMG_4656

What do you think of this project? My class ladies loved it!

An here is another card using the same stamp set and DSP. I love making Random Act of Kindness cards and popping them in the post to unsuspecting recipients xx
