Todays card uses My Minds Eye Lush papers and brad, stampin Up cardstock – Riding hood red, and basic black, a metal Tim Holtz flower, some black ribbon and a martha stewart punch. The paper is flocked so its wonderfully tactile. We had a cardmaking afternoon over at mums today, although I was making a Birthday book. Something different for me, but nice to have a change from cards! Til tomorrow…..
Tonights card uses Kaisercraft Chanteuse patterned papers and chipboard, a red brad and Kindyglitz – thats it!- I was over at my favourite paper shop today, and discovered the new Websters pages papers – (Gorgeous) so I’ve been creating all afternoon, but have stopped now beacause I’m off to watch The Wedding! Til tomorrow…..
Todays card is a good generic design for those difficult male cards. I have used graphic 45 patterned paper ( a proper Gentleman) ,Stampin up Not quite Navy cardstock,and stars cut on my cricut machine. I have gone through all my cartridges, but have not been able to identify which cartridge I used, so sorry! If anyone can tell me please let me know!Til tomorrow….
Todays cards use my new Cricut cartridge – Wild Cards. This is a great cartridge as it cuts all sorts of shaped cards,but as usual I haven’t had time to really play with it yet. However I have managed to make these two cupcake cards with it. I also used assorted stampin Up cardstock, and lots of glitter and bling!Til tomorrow…..
Tonights group of cards were done for an order – my lady wanted the same card, with 5 different colours. Stampin up Elements of style stamp set was perfect for this, and it was quite an interesting project. I used stampin up cardstock, and a little ribbon and a bit of Kindyglitz. I coloured the stamped images with stamp pads and an aquabrush ( my favourite way of colouring images) . I think I like the orange one best – what do you think? Til tomorrow……
Todays card is the new design I was working on the other day.I have used attorted stampin up cardstock and my circle nestabilities to make an assortment of different coloured and sizes of circles and then randomly stuck them onto more cardstock before placing the whole lot into an embossing folder and ran it through the cuttlebug. I used a stampin up embossing folder but I also tried it with the swiss dots folder and the effect was just as good. it’s as if the circles are printed onto the cardstock- you’d never guess they were stuck on – you will have to try it to see what I mean! You could use this technique with all kinds of shapes – stars, flowers etc.. I’ll show you another one tomorrow Til then…..
I made this card for someone at work a little while ago,but thought I would share it as its another Idea for using Stampin Ups cute owl punch. I also used Graphic 45 A proper gentleman patterned papers, Stampin Up cardstock – Not quite Navy, a sizzix die and some string and wobbly eyes.Happening in my craft room tonight – Girly dress cards! Til tomorrow…..
Todays card is one I have fallen back on a few times for those tricky teen boy cards. I used Websters Pages letter stickers, Stampin Up and Bazzil cardstock , and I fussy cut the game controller and used brads for the buttons. Today has been one fof procrastination and putting things off, but after tea I am going to sit in the craft room and regain my mojo! Til tomorrow…..
Tonights card is a different look for me, but I thoroughly enjoyed coming up with this one, although I do still have trouble ripping paper! I used Graphic 45 A proper gentleman, Kaisercraft Rub-ons, Tim Holtz clock hands, and a scrap of script paper, ripped and inked. Lokking forward to a peaceful evening in my craft room, Til tomorrow…..
Todays cards were made using Kaisercrafts release for last month – Bubblegum Hills Paper and matching chipboard. This is great paper for teen girls, with lots of different designs in the one paper pad. I’ve been busy this week making Mothers day cards, but tonight I’m going to do some stamping with my new Bo bunny stamps and papers, just for a change! I have also got an idea for a new cuttlebug card design which I’m going to try out. Til tomorrow…..
