TSOT #132

Hi, It's time again for another sketch at Try Stampin' On Tuesday. This is a rather simple and versatile sketch - gotta love that!!

I went with a Christmas card (you'll probably be seeing a few more, as Christmas is not that far away-eek!) The beauty about this card was that I had previously stamped the tree and the rest is made all from scraps - took about 10 mins to put together :)

Now over to you! It's great seeing what you create and if you want to see the other design teams creations go here.

Any questions just ask and thanks for looking.

TSOT #131

Hi! It's time again for another Try Stampin' On Tuesday sketch.

This one I really struggled with :)

To be honest, I thought this one was in the 'too hard' basket, but to give up would be to defeat the purpose of a challenge - am I right ?? Any way, as I started to pull items out and I came up with a rather clean and simple version of the sketch, but I think it still works.

Now over to you! Try this sketch out - elaborate or keep it clean - either way it's great seeing how you use the sketch. Go here to check out the other design teams creations. 

Thanks for looking

Oh Boy

Hi there! Just passing to share a few baby cards that I made. These two are both for the little guys.

The elephant on this card, is a sticker from Kaisercraft. I have stuck this onto scrap card, fussy cut it out and mounted with dimensionals. I used the chevron embossing folder from SU to add texture to the background. I LOVE how modern this card feels and one that I will make again.

This card is a bit more traditional to me. I used some blue card from my scraps and the giraffe is a chipboard cut out. I have also used the chevron embossing folder here too, as I love chevrons at the moment!

So which one is your favourite? I'll be back later to share two baby girl cards I made.

Thanks for looking

Last Christmas Card

Good morning! Hopefully you have recovered from Christmas and you are able to sit down and relax and hopefully do some crafting.

This was a card which I had worked ahead for on my Festive Friday design team commitment, but as you know they were cancelled due to lack of participants :(
Any way you still get to see what I created! We were asked to use piercing and piercing templates. Here's what I created:

I've gone with a soft subtle look of baja breeze, crumb cake and whisper white. I've cut the bottom with my adorning accents and pierced the bottom, then I've pierced two labels and cut them in half to create the frame around the image. I used my pennant parade to make my Christmas trees and I ripped some whisper white to create texture and depth in the image and more piercing around the edge.

Thanks for looking :)

Sweet Sunday Sketch #173 & The Paper Players #124

Hi! Just wanted to share a card which uses a few challenges. Over at The Paper Players Ann has set us a challenge of 'snow men' - which for me is something I never really do on Christmas cards as we are warm and sunny in Australia for Christmas. I also used the sketch Karen has done over at Sweet Sunday Sketch.

I was quite happy with the end result, but I know that the photo doesn't do it justice :) Any questions just ask.

Thanks for looking :)

Here's the challenges I'm entering:

Festive Friday #43

Hi there! It's time for another Festive Friday and this week Nicole has a product challenge for us: Simply Scored. I dont actually own one of these babies, so I used my good old ruler and stylus to create the background on my card.

I found it hard to get a good picture of my card, but I'm pretty sure you get the gist of it :) I used baja breeze, very vanilla and early espresso for my colours (this has gotta be a favourite colour combo for Christmas this year - so luscious) The dsp is from festival of prints pack and my tree was stamped in baja breeze and is from 'Pennant Parade'. I scored the background on the diagonal both ways to create the diamond effect and then loaded up all the points with a small pearl. 

I hope you can find time to join in with us this week, as we love to see what you create! So load your card up to the froggie on Nicole's blog and get a head start on those Christmas cards!

Thanks for looking :)
