London Here I Come!

Hi everyone,

Well yesterday my youngest daughter left Australia to live in London for the rest of the year. She has moved over there as part of a Teacher Exchange. I am going to miss her big time and the house is going to feel pretty strange without her!

Of course I had to make her a card to celebrate the occasion. When I went looking at what to use to create my card, I had found a few cute stamps I planned on buying, but alas they weren't in stock anywhere in Australia and by the time I had thought about buying anything there was no time left to order from overseas. So I had to rethink and see if I could find any in digital stamps. Fortunately I found just what I was looking for from Digital Delights by Louby Loo and Pretty Grafik.

As you can see I have created a Pull Card using the Rectangle Pull Card die set designed by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs. As she is going over there to teach I wanted to include some school related images as well as London themed images.

Here is a closer look at the left hand side of the card. The union jack (flag) is attached to a spiral so it moves as the card is opened. I used the new Elizabeth Craft Designs Alphabet 1 - Caps for the word "London". 

Here is a close up of the right side of my card. I computer generated the "Here I Come!"

Wishing You A Super Birthday!

Hi everyone,

Today is my younger daughter’s birthday, she loves anything Batman or DC comic super hero related…. it has to be DC! So for her card this year I decided to make her a Super Hero card.

Here is the front of the card. All stamps used on this card are digital stamps from Digital Stamps by Louby Loo. These were released a few months back and I knew as soon as I saw them I had to use them for a card for my daughter.

The background on the front is also one of the digital stamps … it comes in landscape format, but I played around so it could be printed in portrait. I used my copic airbrush to color the background piece.

Here is the inside of my card. The designer papers used here are also digital papers from Digital Stamps by Louby Loo.

Of course I had to make a pop up card for my daughter, using Karen Burniston’s Sizzix A2 Pop N Cuts Card Base, Sizzix Sassy Labels Pop N Cuts Insert.

For the sentiment panel I used Sizzix Sassy Labels & Stitched Frame Framelits … love the stitching around the red panel. The sentiment is stamped on the fishtail banner from the Sizzix Banner & Borders Thinlits set.

The sentiment is computer generated.

Here is one last photo of the inside of my card. I added a few stars to the bottom panel.

Hoppy Easter!

Hi everyone,

I couldn’t resist this cute bunny image when I spied it while checking out my Google Reader posts the other week. It’s a digital stamp from Digital Delights by Louby Loo. I thought it would make a fun Easter Box for my Grandson this year.

I created the box using the Sizzix Eclips Albums, Bags & Boxes cartridge, this is the carry all box from the cartridge.

It Moooo-st Be Spring!

Can you believe it is Saturday already, it only seems like a day or two ago that it was last Saturday LOL! Of course Saturday’s mean it is challenge time over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. This week our challenge hostess for March, Barb Anders has come up with another fun challenge for us all! Spring is almost here … let’s welcome it with some bright and cheerful projects.

Our sponsor for the next two week’s is Digital Delights by Louby Loo. A

Well it may be almost spring up there in the northern hemisphere, but down here where I live it is now well and truly into autumn … not that we really have an autumn in my part of Australia … they do in the southern states though … so while many of you are anticipating summer, I have winter to look forward to!

Anyway I got to play with one of Digital Delights by Louby Loo’s digi images to create my card, this one is called Claudia Cow … I thought it looked like it might be spring wherever Claudia lives hehe!

I decided to create a tent card, I haven’t made one of these in years so it was fun to play with this one, although it is a bit different to the ones I used to make.

Don't forget to check out the rest of the “Crazies” cards over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog and also their individual blogs for more details.
