Time Out Reminder

Hi All

I am here to remind you there is still time to join in our Theme challenge at Time Out.

The theme is:

Flowers with the optional twist of 'Kissing'-using 2 stamps to make one image.

I am not really a technique crafter but had a go! 

I stamped the top flowers in lighter ink and then stamped the 'text' stamp from Happy Little Stamper on the top. I then die cut these flowers. The bottom stamp, also from Happy Little Stampers was just stamped directly onto the card base and coloured. The sentiment stamp is also from Happy Little Stampers-who are our sponsors for this challenge.

I got the idea of the colours and the use of text from the photo this week at Inspired By Little Things-the books gave me the idea of using text

If I can give 'kissing' a try, then you can!

Come join us at Time Out and get kissing!!

Happy Little Stampers May CAS challenge

Hi All

Time for a new Clean and Simple challenge at Happy Little Stampers

Our challenge is:

Rain

Here is what I made:

All the stamps I have used here are from the Happy Little Stamp set Rainy Days. I stamped the cloud/sun stamp straight onto the white card and then again on another piece of card. I fussy cut out just the cloud and then covered this in glitter-I thought the gliiter and the sun would hopefully bring a smile to whoever gets this card! 

All out DT have made amazing cards-check them out here

The winner of this challenge will get a $15 gift voucher to spend in the Happy Little Stamper's store

I will enter this into:

CASology-Flow-I looked up 'flow' and here I am using it as a noun-rain being the constant flow of water. Often I find I look up cue words and it really opens up your mind to the many possibilities-give it a try!

Enjoy x

Grunge meets Pretty!

A very Happy Monday,

Here is a card where Grunge meets pretty!

This was inspired by the 'Grunge' challenge at Addicted to CAS. The colours are from this week's challenge at Cupcake inspirations

The sentiment is from STAMPlorations. The spalshes are a mix of stamps from Happy Little Stampers and visible images. The vellum die cut butterfly-I am not sure where this came from!

Have a fun day.

Inspiration all around!

Hi There

A very Happy Weekend to all.

My card today was inspired by a few challenges:

This week's photo at Fusion caught my eye immediately. The arty water splash look inspired me to use the Papertrey water splash stamps and the  die cut butterfly butterfly.

The colours came from Colour Throwdown-although my purple does look more pink here-it is purple!

I stamped the water colour splashes and then die cut the butterfly. I also die cut the butterfly in yellow fun foam-after seeing Jen's card at Less is More, I will enter their 'shadow' challenge as my yellow adds a lovely bright shadow.

The sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch inspired the layout.

I liked this card by Natasha on Instagram and loved how she used the splashes and die. This is my go at following this idea-do love how it turned out-thanks Natasha for the inspiration

Have a good day x

        

   

Season Greetings!

Hi There,

I finally have made a few Christmas cards!

I saw the 'season' challenge at CASology and the Christmas Season came to mind straught away.

Here is my first Christmas card this year:

I got a few Christmas cards last year using this die and loved them. I knew I had to add it to my collection. All I have done here is die cut it in sparkle fun foam and added the sentiment-a perfect one for this challenge. I made a few of these cards as they are quick and easy and my kind of CAS!

Have a fun day x

Time Out Challenges #82

Hi,

We have a new challenge starting at Time Out Challenges today.

It is our theme challenge and the theme is:

Flowers with the optional twist of Kissing-this is where you use 2 stamps to make one image-here is a tutorial of this technique.

I didn't use the technique for my card. I did have a try but wasn't so happy with the result!

I decided to continue with my Spring cards and made this:

I made my fav kind of card-just stamping and do love the clean look and fresh and spring colours.

The 2 large flowers here are from our Sponsor for this challenge Happy Little Stampers. These flowers are from the set Doodled Flowers.

Our DT have all made fabulous cards-check them out here and then get inky.

Enjoy x

Inkspirational #133

Hi All

Time for a new challenge at Inkspirational. We have the designers choice and this time it is the very talented Pia who has chosen:

Graffiti Stamping

I didn't know what this was but it is all about text stamping in layers.

A challenge for me but this is what I came up with:

I basically got out lots of different stamp sets and just starting stamping away. It was fun to do and I like all the different mix of fonts. I went for my much loved one layer using the linen embossing plate to add texture. Sequins, enamel dots and gems to finish off.

At Inkspirational this week we are happy to welcome back one of our original team members Kylie. Kylie was part of the DT right from the beginning of Inkspirational and I am so pleased she has re-joined us.I am sure most of you know Kylie but if not check out her blog here. You will love what you see. Kylie is also the designer and owner of her own stamp company Happy Little Stampers. I have used quite a few of their sentiments in my card today!

Time for you to get those sentiments out and have a go at Grafffiti stamping.
