Floral wedding

Welcome to this week Sketch challenge with the Crazy 4 challenge team.

I had another request for a floral wedding card, the invitation came with native flowers on it, so I incorporated that into the theme.

 The main image is one I have had for awhile it is from Stamping Bella - Uptown couple Brett and Brenda get married.

 The dies are from Ultimate crafts Australiana collection -  ironbark branch. I chose the red flowers of the Ironbark( they do come in different colours) to match the red roses and the red flowers in the designer paper.

I just carried on with the colour scheme on the inside with tonic studio dies.

Bring me Sunshine

This month on CCEE Stampers Blog, Joanne is our hostess of the challenges.

I don’t think  I am the only one with unused, or ‘virgin’, stamps.  This week I want you to go through your stash and ink those virgins to create this week’s card. 

I have used the concord & 9th , Hello Lovely stamps set to create this background and coloured it in with Copic pens. I also used the tonic studio everyday sentiments die and cut it 4 times and layered them for dimension. I also used the stamp on the inside of the card.

Tea Cake

Welcome to this weeks challenge with the Crazies from Crazy fro Challenges.

Yesterday was Tea Day … so for our challenge this week let's incorporate something Tea related on our cards …. Not into tea then what about coffee!

What is a cuppa without something sweet to go with it?
This stamp from Stampendous with the tea cup and and cupcake, just looks the treat for this challenge.

The card flat for posting.

On the inside I have used this doily designer paper to showcase this tea set die from cottage cuts.

It is just simply a few scored fold lines to create an easel card. The top of the coffee pot is mounted on foam tape to act as a stop for the easel.

Life is the Music

Challenge time with the Crazy 4 challenges team.

For today's challenge, I want you to use your words. Please make the sentiment the focal point of your card. Whether you choose to use a large sentiment or maybe a die- cut some words/// whatever you decide, the words must be the focal point of your card.

For my card I have used the Sentiment stamp from Verses rubber stamps and die cut it with a spellbinders die and added the distress ink while the die was in place to create the frame. I sponged the edges of the designer paper and added the music dies from Tonic Studio.

Charm wedding pop

Today I am sharing a card that was inspired by a card my friend Frances Byrne made as part of Karen Burniston's designer team, you can see her card here.

Items I have used for the inside of the card.

Karen Burniston designs
Cake pop up

Elizabeth Craft Designs
Double sided tape
Micro fine glitter
Brillance copper ink, Penny Black sentiment

On the front I used another stenciled panel but Tonic Studio dies.

Here is a close up of the bridal cake.

 I just love Karen's new hanging charms, but of course they are great as embellishments also. I think I will be using these and the other charms a great deal they are so much fun.

Mr & Mrs

 My Daughter was bridesmaid for a friends' wedding in Fiji recently. I was asked to make a card, the bridesmaids wore pink. I made two using Tonic dies, one in plain card stock and the other was made using shimmer sheetz from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

A Baby Shower

Today I am sharing this baby shower card. This cute baby is a Mo Manning cling stamp made by Penny Black. I pop it out on a Lorna label pop up die from Elizabeth craft designs.
The stars on the bottom is a tonic die and the verse is from verses rubber stamps.
