Summer Fun

Yeah, Finally I have had time to made a card and up load it, December is the first month of Summer here in Australia, while it has been a mild one so far I am sure it will warm up very soon.

To start, the base card was cut using the sizzix A2 pop n cut base, the background paper is from the surf's up DCWV stack. The image is a Stamping Bella Uptown Girl Sandy and her sombrero, the waves is a memory box die.

 The insert paper is another page from the DCWV stack cut using the circle circle label insert pop n cut. The message is a MFT Stamp and it was layered using the MFT Die-namics Layered treat tag. The finish off the card I added gem stones to look like water droplets.

After the closure of Google Reader I wasn't sure how to keep up all the blogs and challenges that I was used to doing, so it was put in the too hard basket. I recently came across the blog lovin site and thought I would give it a try. Hopefully I will get back to posting my cards soon.

Bra - vo

Here are a few more cards to go with my earlier post. 

All the cards are made with the same ink and stamps from Art Impressions and Stampendous and various ribbon and designer papers. 

 This card has the added texture of embossed roses.

I hope that you have enjoyed looking at my pink cards.

Go pink for your support

October is one of our biggest charity months, whether it is golf charity days or the biggest morning teas or even just buying a product that has the charity label, everybody tries to do their big to raise funds for Breast Cancer Research. 

 I have made a few cards for my Daughter to give to a friend who is hosting a market day.

This card was made using the Sizzix pop n 'cut  square card base and labels are from the sizzix wavy labels set.

 The ribbon and text is from Stampendous and the bra stamp is from Art Impressions, the insert designer paper was cut with the spellbinders borderabilities die.

 This card base was made by using the Sizzix pop n' cut base available from Stampin up.

 Again I have used the spellbinders borderabilities die on the designer paper. The text for this card is one that comes with the bra stamp.

Embossed Thankyou

Just a couple of  Clean and simple cards, well the first one started out that way but as usual I couldn't resist adding more. LOL

I have been collecting CAS card on pinterest and the inspiration for this one seem fairly simple. Emboss a panel cut a window and layer with foam dots and add some ribbon. Well mine looked very plain so I got out some ink and coloured in the window and embossed it, it has been ages since I have used embossing powder. I used the craft concepts in bloom embossing folder, added a couple of butterflies and gem stones just to dress it up. 

 For this tag I used MFT Die-namics and stamps, very quick to make on short notice.

Spring Wedding

I made this card for my Nephew's wedding today. I used the love heart cuttlebug embossing folder and inked it up before embossing for the letterpress look. 

 The base card was made using the sizzix pop n cut platform with the love insert and sizzlit love set.

Supplies:
Stamps: Impression obsession stylish images

Time for fishing

Today's card was made using the sizzix pop n' cut die with the original insert.

The designer paper is from DCWV, the text from MFT and the bear image is from docrafts forever friends retro collection.

Pop'n Cuts Butterflies

Today I am sharing you a Pop N Cuts card using the new Karen Burniston Journey Collection Pop N Cuts dies recently released by Sizzix. They are just such fun to use and a very quick way to make an amazing card.

 This card was made for a lady that loves leopard print but not necessarily leopards themselves. The paper is from Canvas Corp, I added a gold sticker row on the join and pearls on the butterfly.

When the card is opened the butterflies pop out, it is just magical. The verse is an old one from Print Blocks Australia.

Happy Stamping
