A Little Wild Crazy Crafters Project Highlights


Hi Everyone

Thank gosh it's Friday...again.  I love this time of week....the thought of two days when I don't need to set my alarm to go to work....weekend bliss !!!

I was browsing Pinterest (as we do) and came across a great window spinner card by German Demonstrator Claudia Maser, you can see her blogpost here.  

I fell in love with the 'A Little Wild Bundle' - this great set comprises of a clear-mount stamp set and matching framelits to get those perfectly die cut images that look so cute.  

So today's project uses both these products and a few more....and here it is


I just love the look of pink and grey together.  Here I have used Pink Pirouette and Smokey Slate cardstock with Whisper White. I embossed the Whisper White with the Polka Dot embossing folder, then cut the circle through Whisper White and Smokey Slate using the Layering Circles Framelit Dies.

I stamped the image in Smokey Slate ink on Smokey Slate cardstock and as I only wanted to use the front of the elephant, I just cut off the back piece. I used dimensionals to adhere to the card.

Then I used the little vine or leaf framelit from the same set to cut a piece in same colour as an accent under the banner. Finally finishing off with a cute sentiment.

Here is a boy version I did too....


I'd love you to vote for my card and check out other amazing projects from the Crazy Crafters team - have a look and vote here

Crazy Crafters Project Highlights - Congratulations


Hi Everyone

Well it's almost the end of 2017.....seems like only yesterday I was saying Happy New Year!  Today I have a really simple yet elegant card as part of the Crazy Crafters Projects Highlights.

A friend asked me to do a Wedding card for her...with 2 days notice.  
Here is what I came up with...



Starting with Very Vanilla thick cardstock as my base, I adhered a design from the Bundle of Love Designer Series Paper stack.  I really love this design as its like a gold foil droplet and looks really elegant.  I then stamped the Congratulations sentiment from Floral Phrases stamp set on a piece of Very Vanilla in Versamark, then used Gold Emboss Powder and heat embossed. I adhered the sentiment with Dimensionals


The inside of the card I selected a verse from the Special Celebrations stamp set and also heat embossed with Gold Emboss Powder.
A very simple card with a very elegant look.

World Cardmaking Day 2017



Hi everyone...This post is a teeny bit long....but there is so much to tell :)

I am so glad there is a day nominated around the world for making cards. There is nothing more enjoyable for me to receive a handmade card, knowing that the person who made it loves making them as much as I do....so much that I made a bundle to celebrate this wonderful occasion.


I will highlight each of the cards I made over the coming weeks.  To start off here is a card I made with the Tranquil Tulips stamp set. 


Using Bermuda Bay, Basic Black and Whisper White I created a layered card stamping the images from the Tranquil Tulips stamp set in Bermuda Bay and Wild Wasabi ink.  The Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies finishes the Happy Birthday sentiment from Special Celebrations stamp set nicely.  A piece of  Basic Black Shimmer Ribbon and a scatter of Rhinestone Basic Jewels completes the card.

The Tranquil Tulips stamp set is a Hostess set that you can choose FREE using your Stampin' Rewards when you place a qualifying order in my online store.

Crazy Crafters Team Project Highlights Thanks Thanks Thanks


Hiiii



Well it seems like forever ago that I submitted a project for the Crazy Crafters Team Highlights.... and it has been a while.



Here's hoping to be back with a vengeance and taking part every week again now.



My project tonight was made for a Colour Challenge #IC03 with Infinity Stampers Team



Our colour challenge was just that  -  A CHALLENGE!!!! 
Using a mix of old and new, the colour palette was
Mint Macarron, Daffodil Delight, Pink Pirouette and Tip Top Taupe

No automatic alt text available.

The project needed to incorporate all these colours but design and theme was open to anything.  So I decided to pull out a stamp set that I have had sitting for a while but hadn't used.  Introducing the Fabulous Flamingo stamp set (143758)


No automatic alt text available.



I used Tip Top Taupe as my card base and then matted that with Pink Pirouette and Whisper White.  The images are really self explanatory however I will say for the flamingo's legs I stamped off once to give a lighter effect.  I also used one of Stampin' Up!'s most popular stamps sets -  Swirly Bird (141749) to create the sun. Stamping the sentiment on Whisper White and using the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies (145372) to cut it out, give a bit of depth to the card without being overpowering.
And to finish off, a scatter of Subtles Enamel Shapes.

I was so out of my comfort zone with these colours and not really sure how I feel about the card but the more I look at it on display in my craft room, the more it is growing on me :)


Another great event that happened this week is the release of the NEW 2017 Holiday Catalogue......and I just happen to have my copy right here


Unfortunately, I cannot show you the inside pages BUT if you do want to see it before the official release date on 1st September, you can join my team :)  And by joining now, not only will get to see the catalogue, but you will also get $235 worth of product of your choice from any of the current catalogues, for just $169!!  And FREE shipping AND 20% off any future order with no obligation or minimum sales to reach until Jan 2018.  Now that is a great offer!!!
