Tonights card is a very simple one. I used Stampin up cardstock – Mellow Moss and Old olive – and Stampin up stamp set ‘Bird on a Branch.’ The patterned paper was Basic grey “Mellow paper. Every one here is off to the gym, so I will be creating this evening – Ah lovely! Til tomorrow….
Happy Birdie
Here is another one of those cards that I really enjoyed making – This little bird looks so happy! I used Stampin Up cardstock – Pink Passion, Core’dination cardstock, Sizzix embossing folders, and the greeting tag was a Stampin up Die. I am doing a few 3d cards tonight for my boxes, and then a couple of xmas cards. I have set myself a challenge – I haven’t got out my xmas stuff yet, I only have a Kaisercraft 6″ paper pad – Be Merry – so I am now determined to see how many cards I can make just using that one paper pad and a bit of cardstock ( and kindyglitz of course).So far I am up to 8! Til tomorrow….
Caterpillar greetings
Tonights card uses Kaisercraft 6″ pad – jungle bug- and stampin up cardstock- Brilliant blue. All that was needed was some fussy cutting, letter stickers and a couple of wobbly eyes.2 quick cards! I promised myself that I wouldn’t start xmas cards yet, but I bought the new Be Merry 6″pad from kaisercraft and have already made 6 cards just using the pad.I tell myself its a good head start on the cards we will be making in October to send to the troops, for them to send back home. Til tomorrow….
2 more Lovely as a tree
Following on from my foray into chalking, I created these 2 cards. I must thank Sandy for the inspiration. I used Basic grey Indian Summer, and 7 gypsies,pattern unknown, and Stampin up Mellow moss and chocolate chip cardstock. I stamped the images onto acetate, and chalked the background paper.A miserable Sunday after 2 nice ones, I know the rain is good, but we could have done without the wind. We lost a tree which landed on the back fence, so now we have to replace a fair bit of the fence.Oh well, til tomorrow….
Oxford Impressions truck
Male cards are always difficult to do, so when I saw the truck stamp in the Oxford Impressions Farm Boy set, I was really pleased. Here I’ve shown you 2, both using stampin up cardstock as the base, and just changed the colour of the truck, although on one I have added a bit of gravel under the truck using a stamp from stampin up bird on a branch set. I stamped the truck again on grey cardstock and cut out the wheels to give the card a little height. The ink was stampin up chocolate chip and sahara sand. a bit of string wrapped around the top of the card and done!The weather is awful, a storm is blowing through and things are blowing around the back garden. Just the weather for sitting by the heater and making cards! Til tomorrow….
Oxford impressions cow !
I received my new stamp sets in the mail the other day from Oxford Impressions in America. Great excitement! And what fun I have had playing with them. The stamps I used on this card are from the Farm boy stamp set. There is an amazing amount of stamps in this set, and on this card I have used 4 of them.I used stampin up Kraft cardstock, although I believe it has a new name now – I’ll just check – yes crumb cake – I’ll have to get used to that,then stamped a hessian background, stamped the barn onto some blue scrap patterned paper, the cow and the little chick onto white cardstock . I created some bushes by using some flowersoft. The inkpads were all stampin up – close to cocoa, sahaha sand, certainly celery and black. I had great fun creating this card, I love making cards that you can make up a whole story around, and usually as I am making them I have a narration going on in my head about what is happening in cardland! Thats it – now you all know I’m mad!Til tomorrow….
Cheers to you
Tonights card is made using stampin up cardstock green Galore and Brilliant Blue, and basic grey patterned paper – Lime rickey.The stamp set is Stampin Up ‘ cheers to you’ coloured with twinkling h2o’s. I used a stampin up flower punch, and a button from my craft supply. the boys are off to the gym tonight, so I will be sitting through here doing some creating! So much new stuff to play with, and not enough hours! Til tomorrow….
Tool card
Last Fathers day card – I promise! This one uses stampin up cardstock – tempting turquoise, and kaisercraft patterned paper – Konstrukt collection.I did a bit of fussy cutting, then went investigating in my husbands toolshed where I found some bolts and washers to stick on the front of the card.He came home tonight and told me he needed 2 baby cards for a lady at work, but neglected to find out if it was girl or boy ,so I have 4 baby cards to make tonight. I feel like thats all I’ve been making lately!Til tomorrow….
A special note of thanks
Another lovely Sunday, although it was very cold down at the market at 6am this morning.I did a good trade, but not too many people around, they were probably taking advantage of the fine weather, and Mum tells me that the Gawler show was on today, which wouldn’t have helped matters!Todays card uses Stampin up Rich razzleberry cardstock, Top Note die,rich razzleberry ribbon,flower(made with stampin up punches) ,Stampin up cottage garden patterned paper, stampin up stamps – Cheep talk and cottage garden,and rich razzleberry and old olive ink pads. The music note is a kaisercraft stamp and as usual I used Kaisercraft blling and Kindyglitz.Til tomorrow….
Princess
Tonights card was made to use up the last bit of patterned paper that I had left from Kaisercraft Allsorts patterned paper, and rub ons. I also used Stampin up black cardstock,a chipboard circle, ribbon from my supply and the greeting stamp was from stampin up – rivetting. Still making a couple of last minute cards for the market, but I’m ready to call it a night, and go watch a bit of tv with the boys. Til tomorrow….
