Crafty Cardmakers and More Challenge #130

Well today I have some very exciting news.  I have been asked to join the Design Team for the Crafty Cardmakers and More Challenge site.  I am so very excited and hope you can play along with us.  This was for challenge #130 which is "Something Old and Something New".  Here is my creation for a special little boys first birthday.   I drew my inspiration from this card here.

So my something old was pretty much everything on the card!  Although I have had this stamp set for quite some time I have never used it before so I think that can count as new.  Also the star that I have watermarked stamped that you can just faintly see on the blue strip is one I have never used either. I coloured this little bloke in with Copics.

Here is what I have used:

Cardstock: Stampin' Up! Bashful Blue and So Saffron

Paper: Simple Stories "Fresh Air"

Stamps: Technique Tuesday "Twinkle On" and Stampin' Up! "Under the Big Top"

Tools: Lattice Punch, Tim Holtz Paper Rosette Die, Stampin' Up! Timeless Type Alphabet Junior Sizzlits

Copics: C1, C3, C5

R27, B91, B93, Y02

Thanks for popping in and I look forward to seeing all your creations for this challenge.

Happy Birthday Oscar!

Hi There!

So on Tuesday it was our son's birthday.  Oscar turned 8 - can't believe where that time has gone!  Now if you have a gamer in the house chances are you know all about Minecraft.  He is obsessed and this year is having a Minecraft party so of course I had to make a Minecraft card.  With a bit of research this is apparently a creeper.  It is a very basic design but he was very chuffed with it. 

 

Here is what I have used:

Cardstock: Stampin' Up! Basic Black and Garden Green

Stamps: Stampin' Up! "So Happy For You"

Tools: Houndstooth Embossing Folder, Square Punch

 

Like I said a very basic design that was quick and easy.  I can see myself making more of these as his mates birthdays roll around. 

It is going to be a very wet dreary weekend here in Melbourne (nice after the heat) so expect to see some more creations coming your way.

 

Thanks for dropping by

The Deconstructed Sketch #182

Well it is a scorcher here down under today.  Multiple bushfires burning across two states makes for worrying times.  I'm hoping my family and friends back in Adelaide are safe. 

So it is way too hot to do anything outdoors today so here is another card.  Again with the male cards - this one for my brother.  I still have the same papers on my desk and decided to go with them again.  This is for challenge 182 over on Deconstructed Sketch.

 

Here is what I have used:

Paper: Adorn It "Rough and Tough"

Card: Bazzill

Stamp: Stampin' Up! "So Happy For You"

Embellishments: Studio Calico Wood Banner

Ink: Staz-On Black

Tools: Circle Punches

 

Still working on getting the lighting right for taking photos and really don't like this blue background but will get there eventually!

 

Thanks for stopping by and stay cool!

Happy New Year!

Well can you believe here we are in 2015!  I have a load of birthdays in January so lets get started.  This is for a teenage boy (which I find really difficult to make cards for) and I wanted to just keep it plain and simple.  I have played along with this weeks sketch at Mojo Monday and flipped it on its side.  This sketch called for a long and narrow card so the measurements are 3.5" x 6". 

 

 

Here is what I have used:



Paper: Adorn It "Rough and Tough"

Cardstock: Left over Bazzill

Stamp: Stampin' Up! "Bring on the Cake"

Embellishment : Random wood veneer from my stash

 

I hope to be back tomorrow with another creation for you - I have three days straight of boy birthdays!  In the mean time if you are in Australia keep cool!

 

Thanks for popping by,
