Finally A Few Cards

Sorry I know I have been slack. I have been creating but just don't have time to do everything! Well last Friday was Laurel's 11th birthday and here is the card I made for her.


If you look closely you can just see the Dazzling Diamonds on the love heart eyes and one tooth. Every girl likes bling right! Here is what I used:

Stamps: Just Jawing

Paper: Pixie Pink, Whisper White, Unknown DP

Ink: Basic Black

Accessories: DazzlingDiamonds, Ribbon, Brad

The next card was for a challenge over on Our Creative Corner - to use blues and greens to celebrate Summer. Well it is definitely not Summer here - it's freezing but I joined in the fun anyway! This was also using this weeks sketch (TESC118) from Taylored Expressions. It does look a little washed out in this photo though.


Here is what I used:

Stamps: Circle Circus, On Your Birthday

Paper: Soft Sky (retired), Whisper White, Kaisercraft Spirograph DP

Ink: Soft Sky (retired), Certainly Celery

Accessories: Kaisercraft Rhinestones, Dimensionals, 1 3/4" Circle Punch, 1 1/4" Circle Punch, 1 3/8"Circle Punch

This next card was for Inkspiration Sketch Challenge #29. Cindy is hosting this week as Makeesha is OS and she challenged us to use something from our stash. Now I love paper. I buy heaps of it but then I just admire it from afar and don't like to cut into it. So my challenge now to myself is to use those hundreds of sheets of beautiful paper I have! I have had this paper with the matching brads for ages and I think it is just perfect for a teen girl.

I have also been practicing those fab faux bows from the video tutorial by Teneale Williams - I finally did one I'm happy with! Here is what I used:

Stamps: Just Jawing (inside)

Paper: Old Olive, Whisper White, Skull Girl DP by Kaisercraft

Ink: Old Olive

Accessories: Skull Girl Brad by Kaisercraft, Old Olive Ribbon, Embroidery Thread, Pink Pirouette Button, Dimensionals, 1 3/8" Circle Punch

Hope that keeps you going for a little bit and happy stamping!
