It’s a Girl!

Dear Crafters,

With loads of my friends and work colleagues who are pregnant at the moment, I thought I had better stock up on some baby cards. Not knowing if they are having a boy or a girl, I thought I had better do a few of each!!!!

I just love this cute Happy Heart embossing folder, so needed to include some on my baby cards. I have used the colours Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral and Real Red along with some of the Stacked With Love DSP.

Baby Girl

I stamped the jumpsuit with one of the images from Something For Baby, and die cut it with the coordinating Baby’s First Framelits. These two products can be purchased as a bundle saving you 15%.

Baby Girl

I added a heart punched from some Real Red Core’dinations card stock using the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack.

Be sure to decorate the inside panel of your card and even the envelope!

Baby Girl

I would love you to comment below with your thoughts on this creation.

Crazy About You

Dear Crafters,

I am going to share a card with you today of a colour combination that I don’t usually put together, but in fact, I have fallen in love with!

I have used two Bundles from the Occasions Catalogue and with each bundle you can save 15%.

The 1st bundle is Crazy About You stamp set and the Hello You Thinlits, and the 2nd bundle is Petal Potpourri stamp set and the coordinating Flower Medallion punch.

Flowers make me happy and this card certainly is a bright and happy card.

Petal Potpourri Crazy About You Stampin' Up!

The base card is Hello Honey with a layer of Stacked With Love Designer Series Paper.

The flowers are stamped in Hello Honey ink on the coordinating card stock and punched out using the coordinating Flower Medallion Punch. I used dimensionals to add the flowers to the card, slightly overlapping them, after adding some Hello Honey ribbon and bow.

Petal Potpourri Crazy About You Stampin' Up!

I added the “happy” die cut from the Hello You Thinlits and added it with Tombo Glue. The “birthday” sentiment is stamped and punched with the Word Window punch.

Be sure to decorate the inside panel of your card and even the envelope!

Celebrate Today at JAI

Hello Crafters,

Today I enter a challenge at Just Add Ink. The challenge this week is an inspiration challenge JAI#250.

My immediate reaction to this image was Valentine’s Day, but that was celebrated yesterday, so I changed to a birthday theme. There are so many birthday celebrations, so I know this card won’t last too long in my stash!

I have also had this idea of making an interactive moving card for so long now, that today was the day to give it a go. I didn’t know the mechanics of it, but gave it a shot of trial and error. Simply pull the flag tab and the balloons move across the card from left to right. Push it back in and the balloons drift back! I have no idea what the name of this technique is, but it was fun to make.

Celebrate Today

I have this Celebrate Today stamp set in photopolymer and it is the ideal type for 2-step stamping, as the stamp is completely clear and you can see exactly where to stamp the second image! Awesome!

The base card is Black with a layer of balloons stamped in Strawberry Slush ink and then stamped again with Blackberry Bliss ink. The hearts on the left balloon were sponged with a dauber using the Heart Mask. The banner is die cut from Glimmer paper as are the tassels.

The sentiment is inked with Versamark and silver embossing powder applied and heat set.

Celebrate Today

Be sure tho decorate the inside panel of your card and even the envelope helps tie it all together!

Celebrate Today  Celebrate Today

Please leave a comment below, if you think my card met this challenge.

Why don’t you give a challenge a go, they are so much fun. Head across to the Just Add Ink page for more inspiration and see how the designers interpreted this challenge.

Best Day Ever

Dear Crafters,

How did you enjoy yesterdays blog hop? I thought there were some wonderful creations for our inspiring team members!

Well today, I continue the theme of my blog post and created another card using the same stamp set, DSP and colour combinations.

Best Day Ever

The base card is Calypso Coral stamped with the coordinating ink. The Soft Suede layer, I punched with the scallop border punch and added a piece of the Best Year Ever Designer Paper. I used the banner punch to add some interest to the side of the card.

The sentiment from the Best Day Ever Stamp set is stamped on Whisper White card stock in Coastal Cabana ink and mounted onto Calypso Coral Core’dinations card stock.

Best Day Ever  Best Day Ever

I added the ribbon, but wasn’t sure about a bow, I thought that it didn’t suit the style of this card, so I just made a very simple knot.

Be sure to decorate the inside panel of your card and even the envelope!

Best Day Ever

I would love you to comment below with your thoughts on this card.

AWHT Blog Hop for February 2015

Dear Crafters,

AWHT Logo-001

Today I’m excited to bring you a blog hop with some of the awesome ladies in the Art With Heart Stampin’ Up! Team. Today we focus on the new Occasions Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Catalogue and also Sale-a-bration! If you place an order with me during Sale-a-bration, you can choose a free item with every $90 you spend in one transaction. There are lots of fabulous free items to choose from (ask me for a brochure and an Occasions Catalogue) and the promotion goes right through until 31st March.

Better still, become part of our awesome fun, friendly and supportive Art With Heart team. We have a really large team Australia wide that has been around since Stampin’ Up! came to Australia. We have a very active team forum and also have in person stamp days, challenges, card swaps, product shares and more. When you join during Sale-a-bration, you get to choose whatever you like from our catalogues, but pay just $169 for $235 worth of product (that’s a huge discount!) but also you get to choose between two free product options. It’s quick and easy to join online too. Ask me how!

Now let’s get into showing you what you can make with the great new products in the Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogues.

You have come to my blog from Ros Davidson.

For my projects, I have used the Best Day Ever Stamp Set, Best Year Ever Accessory Pack & Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration Brochure) and the Something Borrowed Embellishments & Note Tag Punch (Occasions Catalogue). 

Best Year Ever

I began with a card base in Coastal Cabana and stamped the background in the coordinating ink. I added the sentiment onto Whisper White card and punched it out. The DSP is added over the top after I sponged the edges and added the ribbon and embellishments.

I just love these Something Borrowed embellishments which I added on top of the ribbon, which I have folded to look like the pattern in the DSP (did you notice that?!!!).

Best Year Ever  Best Year Ever

and don’t forget to decorate the inside of your card and your envelope!

Best Year Ever

and why stop here…. I continued this theme (as I just love these colours together) and made a little magazine file folder to hold up to 10 cards and envelopes in. What a great idea these would be to make as gifts for loved ones.

Best Year Ever  Best Year Ever  Best Year Ever

How did I make this? Well, the following diagrams should give you the basic measurements. Be sure to decorate the “outside” as shown before you stick it together. Adhere the Belly Band last before decorating.

From the Herd

Hello Crafters,

Well here is a bit of fun I want to share with you today, something from the Occasions Catalogue that is a bit corny, but I just had to have!!!! lol

I think this stamp set will get great use, as it can be coloured any way you like, whether using Blendabilities, water colour or markers. And check out the sentiment!!!!

From the Herd

I have used Blendabilities to colour the images.

Here is a close up. I love the little bird on the back of the bison!

Be sure to decorate the inside on your card also!

A happy thing

Dear Crafters,   

Have you been enjoying all the sale items and freebies coming your way when you place your SU orders?

Well I certainly have, and here is another stamp set that I got for FREE for placing a $90 order!

I love this cute little birdie from the stamp set, A Happy Thing as he reminds me of the Kingfisher bird, so I had to colour him in with my Blendabilities.

A Happy Thing

I stamped him initially with the Memento Black ink pad before using my Blendabilities. I used the Coastal Cabana and the Night of Navy sets to give the extra tones required. I used a little of the Cherry Cobbler also on his beak.

A Happy Thing

I used Pool Party and Coastal Cabana card stock for the card layers and use the Decorative Dots TIEF on the lighter layer before adding a doilie. I used my circle framelits for each of the circles and added a small bow to finish off.

I would love you to comment below with your thoughts on this card.

Petal Potpourri

Dear Crafters,

Petal Potpourri Bundle & Something Borrowed Designer Series Paper   

You may be thinking, why do I need another flower stamp set and coordinating punch? Well, I said the same thing when I first saw this in the catalogue, but once I saw what could be done with it, it was on my next order!

Petal Potpourri Stamp Set and Flower Medallion Punch saving you 15% when you purchase them together as a bundle!

 

I also really love these Something Borrowed DSP of Whisper White and Sahara Sand. At only $18.95 for 12 sheets; 4 each of 3 double sided designs, 30.5cm x 30.5cm. They can be found on pg 42 of the Occasions catalogue.

I initially saw this card on Pinterest by Mudmaven Designs, but I wanted a slightly more subtle look so I used lighter colours.

Petal Potporri

I stamped the flower image in Versamark onto Sahara Sand card stock and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. The second flower is stamped in Chocolate Chip onto Sahara Sand card stock and cut in half to create the lovely border across the centre of the card. I just love the delicateness of the doilies.

This is a close up showing the detail. A button with linen thread tied through it in a bow was added with a dimensional.

Petal Potporri

Don’t forget to decorate the inside of your card!
