From One Glamour Puss to Another........

Hi,

I just love this stamp. I have had it ages and have used it for many cards. It is from 
Stamp-It and is called Bathing Beauty. I have coloured her in using my Spectrum Noir's and used Close to My Heart ink Pads - Creme Brulee (yellow) and Lagoon (turquoise) for the large flower around the edges. The flower is from Hero Arts, it is Sketch Blossom from the Poetic Prints. Again had this one for a while. The shape of the card is arched around the top and reminds me of the old swimming hats that were covered in flowers.

 

I have given her ruby red lips and blue eye shadow and added some sparkle to her and her swimming suit.

Thanks for looking.
 

Life is Short, Break the Rules Card

Hi there,

This is a card I made recently using the lattice cut background from Cricut. It is a Cricut Craft Room™ Exclusives, Teresa Collins Basics cut. The stamp is by Riley & Company. I stamped the sentiment and then used one of the larger Spellbinder circles to cut it out and then framed with 3 buttons to match the paper. Love buttons!!!!!

Happy Father's Day Card

Miss Sophie made her Daddy a Father's day card. She went into the craft room and got out the Washi Tape and made him the below card. She is getting quite a liking for Washi Tape just recently and when we are out and about on our travels and we come across some at the shops she MAKES me buy it!!!!!! It is hard to say no sometimes ;)

Daddy loved his card and gifts and has had a nice day of being spoilt.

Thanks for looking.

Hi,
I have been having a play with a stamp and die set that I recently bought from Side Street Vintage - blog link here - http://sidestreetvintage.blogspot.com.au/

They are the Avery Elle Macaroon Stamp set and Die (purchased separately)

I made the below card and thought I 'd do make it using the chalk board effect, stamp white chalk on black card, heat emboss the words and then lightly rub white ink around to look as though the chalk has been rubbed out. There are loads of tutorials and sites online showing and explaining how to do the Chalk board effect. I stamped the macaroons in pastels colours and added liquid pearls to the centre of each one.

Monster High Abbey Card

Miss Sophie made this card for her friend for her birthday. When she gets a new Monster High doll we cut the boxes up and use the images, like she has done for this card. Sophie used the Abbey Bominable picture on this card. The love heart strip is (mum's stash) of Washi tape, the rose flower is made from Paper clay mold from Stampin up and then she added Inka Gold metallic rubbed over the top. The happy birthday stamp is from Label Love stamped in hot pink.

Paper Clay molds from Stampin Up.

Early Bird Latte Card

Hello,

I'm loving my Stampin Up stamps at the moment and I recently bought the stamp set Perfect Blend from the new 2013 - 2014 Catalogue.

For the below card I stamped the cup and teamed it with the Art Impressions See you with a latter stamp. It makes me laugh!

For the inside I added coffee beans from Like it a Latte Stampin Up stamp set.

Hope you like it a Latte!!!!!
sorry couldn't resist

Doggy update

Hi there,

I though I would post a recent picture of my puppies. Buster (the Dalmatian) turned 11 on the 5th August and Millie is now 13 and a half. This was taken the other morning when we were having snuggles after they had come back from their walk and were a little bit tired!

First Day of School Card

Hi,

My great Nephew starts school on Monday so I made him a First day of School card. The background paper is from Doodlebug, had it in my stash for ages. The Paper, scissors and the pencil are cut from the Simply Charmed Cricut Cartridge and the little picture in the right hand corner is stamped using the boy stamp from the Stampin Up All in the Family.

Good Luck for your first day of school Kade, we love and miss you. xx

Thanks for looking.

Koala Hugs Tilda Card

Hi,

Below is a card I made for my husbands aunt who came out to Australia over the Christmas holidays.  We didn't know she was coming and it was a wonderful surprise to go to dinner at Neil's aunt, who already lives in Australia and see her there.  We gave her the card as a little thank you for coming out and sharing some time with us all.

I coloured Tilda (from the Magnolia stamp range) using my Spectrum Noir Pens and used paper from a Kaiser craft pad and the card shape is cut out on the Cricut. Then I wrapped brown twine around the bottom and added a beige button to go with the natural theme of the card.

Thanks for looking.

Stampendous Mermaid

Hi,

I made Sophie a picture using the Stampendous Mermaid stamp. Isn't it a beautiful stamp?  I have stamped her on Watercolour paper and coloured her in using watercolour pencils.  The fancy frame around her is from the Fancy Frames Cricut Cartridge. I have added the starfish to the bottom of the frame and a small sea shell.  I gave the frame a bit of an aged look by sanding around the edges to make it a bit more interesting.

It did sit on Sophie's bookshelf until the Build a Bears and Ty Beanies took over!

I now have her back in my craft room.

 

Thanks for Looking and have a good weekend.
