The Rainbow of Life ….

Hi everyone,

It’s challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. This week our challenge hostess for January Sabrina Friel finishes off the month with another fun challenge.

This week Sabrina tells us that where she lives in Ireland it rains at this time of year. A lot. Umbrellas are very important. Bonus points if you also bring good raingear along :D, but sunshades and beach umbrellas are also perfectly suitable for the challenge.

For my card today I decided to create a Centre Step card using my Cheery Lynn Designs Step Card Template die. For my image I used Stampavie’s Lily & Milo Rainy Day.

Here is the inside of my card, the sentiments used on this card are from MFT Stamps.

Love You! Love, Me

Hello everyone,

It’s challenge time with the “Crazies” over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. Sarah Gough our challenge hostess for January brings us her final challenge for the month.

This week Sarah has challenged us to get Lovey Dovey – Create a Valentine’s Day card with this color combo – Aqua, Chocolate, Cream and Pink. Use a little pink for a pop of color, or lots, it’s up to you!



For my card this week I have used Stampavie’s Lily & Milo Holding Hands stamp. I have also used my Sizzix Gridworks (1 3/8 inch squares) … I so love this die and will be looking at getting the smaller one as well next time I am at my stamp store. There are so many different ways to use it.



Here is the inside of my card. I have again used the Sizzix Gridworks (1 3/8 inch squares) and added a sentiment and some hearts.

Hi everyone,

It’s challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog.  Sabina Friel our challenge hostess for January continues to deliver us some fun challenges.

This week Sabrina has challenged us to Bring some colour to January with some bright flowers.

For my card this week I used Stampavie’s Lily & Milo For You stamp. On the background of my card I have layered the MFT Die-namics Triangle Screen in black and pink.

Here is the inside of my card … I used the Triangle Screen die again for the bottom of my card and added a sentiment from Hero Arts.

Whooo Luvs Ya!

Hi everyone,

It’s challenge time again with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. Being a brand new month we have a new challenge hostess which is Sabrina Friel.

Sabrina has challenged us to Use a bird/birds and music. It doesn’t have to be music paper or
embellishments, song lyrics count too.

For my card this week I used Stampavie’s Whooo Luvs ya stamp set … owls are birds hehe! For the music part of this challenge I used music designer paper to create the flower.

Here is the inside of my card, I do have a sentiment on here but with the MFT Stamps release being changed I had to remove it from my card for now, I will replace it with the correct inside after Sunday.

Tickles!

Hi everyone,

My card today uses a stamp from Stampavie, it’s called Tickles. I cut out the middle portion of the front of my card and inserted a piece of acetate instead so that the sentiment can be seen from the outside of my card.

The flowers used on this card are made from paper clay and then airbrushed using my copic airbrush.

Here is another view of the front of my card with it standing up as you normally would stand the card, the top photo I had it closed leaning against the background so I could get a good photo.

Here is the inside of my card, the sentiment is near the bottom of the card so it can be seen though the acetate on the front.

Look Who’s Turning 2!

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased the full set of 0 –9 Shaped Cards SVG files from The Cutting Cafe, after seeing a sample someone else had on their blog. Of course the first number birthday I had to try out was # 2 as my Grandson will be turning 2 in late May!

The image I used on my card is one from Stampavie which I just love. The sentiment at the top left hand corner of the card was also included with the cutting file, actually you get two sentiment options witch each number.

And finally the inside of my card, I stamped the sentiment to the left side of the card so it wouldn’t be seen when the card was closed.

Stamps: A Special Delivery – Stampavie; Happy Birthday – Stamp It

Paper: White; Blue; A Boy’s Life DP – Echo Park

Other: Black Ink; 2 Shaped Card SVG file – The Cutting Cafe; Rhinestones; Sizzix Eclips; ECAL; Foam Tape; Copics

A Little Bird Told Me!

Hi everyone,

The “Crazies” over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog are back with our first challenge for 2012. Being a brand new year and month we have a new challenge hostess which this time round is Joanne Grzelak.  

Seeing that it is a brand new year and with Christmas not long gone, many of us have new toys to play with Joanne has given us a fabulous challenge this week.

New year….new ‘toys’…..new techniques. Do or use something NEW on your card/project.

The image I have used on my card today is one I received from a good friend as a Christmas present. It is from Stampavie and is called Belinda & The Cardinal, isn’t she just so cute. I paper pieced her dress & bow using designer paper. The sentiment used on the front of my card is from Kraftin’ Kimmie, I thought it was perfect with this image, don’t you think!

Here is the inside of my card, the cardinal is separate from the girl in the stamp set, so it was each to stamp it twice on the  inside of the card. The sentiments are two more from Kraftin’ Kimmie.

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.
