Hey there Brownie the Cow

 My card today is for the challenge on the CCEE Stampers blog.

 It’s Cow Appreciation Day! Put some kind of farm animal (cow or otherwise) on your card.

For my card today, I had found this designer paper in my stash for such an occasion. I wanted to show the designer paper off and not cover it up as a background. So I dusted off my old sizzix die. This one was designed by Stephanie Baynard - card circle flip -it die.

I used Brownie the cow die designed by Karen Burniston from her Elizabeth Craft Design days.

On the inside I added the coordinating die set.

Pickles Yes Please!

Today is challenge day with the Crazy's team on Crazy 4 Challenges.

 Apparently today is Pickle Day! Are you in a right pickle or a cool as a cucumber??? Create a card inspired by a pickle, either by including a pickle or food that goes with pickles on your card, use the color green … or incorporate a pickle themed sentiment.

 Well I didn't have any pickle images for this challenge, I do love pickles on my burgers.

 My stamp set is from an Australian company called Beccy's Place. I made the base card using a flip die.

Today I am celebrating the first day of spring in Australia with bright and vibrant colours. Spring and Autumn are a my favourite seasons, neither are too hot or too cold and I love Nature's colour scheme.

The Sentiments and cute bee are all from My favorite things

Have a Happy Day

Something Special

When I found the stencil that I used for this weeks CCEE challenge I also found Tim Holtz distress stain. I remember I purchasing this at a show and a friend putting it is my hand saying you really need this, having no idea what to do with it, it went to the back of the cupboard. 

I am not sure if it was meant to be used this way but I quite like the look of the white ink on the black card it look a little like clouds, I had lots of fun using this product so maybe she was right I did need it. LOL

 I finished the card off with a MFT Die-namic flower and black ribbon.

Cheers

21 Glitter owl flip it

Today over on CCEE the challenge CCEE 1422 is to make a card with a number, it could be designer paper, die cut or embossed numbers.

For my card I used die cut numbers, cut out of sticker sheet and dipped into silk microfine glitter.

For the base card, I used Sizzix Majestic flip its die, cut one out of white card and once out of shimmer sheetz from Eilzabeth Craft designs, the shimmer sheetz was then embossed and sanded before being attached to the card stock.

Shimmer sheetz are thin sheetz that are able to be embossed, die cut, sanded and inked depending on the look you want to achieve.

The owl is cottage cutz harvest owl die, cut in black then placed on a sticker sheet and covered with microfine glitter, then coloured with copic pens and popped up with foam dots. I have also added coordinating dies and ribbon.

Here is another photo of the front at a different angle, the shimmer sheetz change colour depending on the light.

Have a great day

123 Flip it

I made this card for the online challenge on Stamphappy a Yahoo group for Australian and New Zealand stampers. The theme for this month is 1 designer paper, 2 flowers and 3 buttons. For the base card I have used the Fancy frame flip it die, designed by Stephanie Barnard.

 The sentiment is from verses, the leaf filled flourish and rolled rose are from MFT the gems and buttons are a special craft purchase. Here is another photo with the card flipping open, interactive cards are such fun.

Another quick flip it card with fancy frame flip it die and some small cupcake stamps. The verse is the set labels4cutting from Stamps of life designed to coordinate with the Triple fancy frame flip-it

Far out flip it

This month I got together with friends and our challenge was to create a card using the Stephanie Barnard designed sizzix triple flip it die. I thought this was going to be such fun but the challenge for me was to find stamps small enough to the flip inserts. But once that was done this die set is such fun to use. It comes with several dies one to cut the main card and each designer paper panel and the several small dies for layering in the flip part.

 The  Stamps I have used  are from MFT Doodle Garden far out clear set, it comes with the main image and several word sayings. I love this image it has a real retro feel and I was lucky to find some very nice designer paper.

Spring Flip it

This has to be one of the quickest card that I have ever made, now I love my sizzix flip it with the thick base plate but this card is made with the sizzix framelits set designed by Stephanie Barnard is just amazingly easy to use. Stephanie also designed the other sizzix flip its, but the best thing about these other that the thin cutting dies, it also comes with corresponding dies in the pack for easy layering.

 As this was the first time I have used this die, I went for the clean and simple look without any embellishments and let the beautiful designer paper speak for itself.

Thanks for looking

Best Year

Hello there,

I created this card for the for the 10 minute online challenge for Stamphappy.

 Stamphappy  is a yahoo group for Australian and New Zealand creative rubber stampers.

 I find that using a die cutting machine with dies and designer paper a fun and quick way create cards.

For this card I used the Sizzix flip it die designed by Stephanie Barnard. 

 The designer paper is DCWV the blossom song stack, I have also used nestabilities circles and number die- n-namics from My Favorite things and a butterfly, pearls and ribbons for embellishments. The words are also MFT stamps.

Hope this is the best year ever.
Have a good day
Maryann
