Beautiful Ride Split Negative

Pin It

For today's card I have used Beautiful Ride Stamp Set.

 I have used The Colour Tree #7 for my colour combo.

 The technique is called Split Negative, click HERE for my last post with this technique.

 I used 1/4' Handheld Circle Punch to add the gold in the middle of the wheels.

I didn't want a sentiment on the inside but I like to add a element of the out to the inside so I stamped the VW on it.

Go and check out the links, there is still time your you to play along.

Pals Paper Arts challenge, PPA 286 - A sketch.

I turned the sketch on it's side.

I used Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango and Whisper White.

 I used Resist Embossed Technique, I stamped the flower with VersaMark then heat embossed with White Embossing Powder.

 Next I sponged daffodil Delight,then Tangerine Tango and lastly Cherry Cobbler.

 I used retired washi tape, I guilty of buying washi then not using it very much.

The sentiments are from Balloon Celebrations.

This was a quick and simply card to make, go and look at Pals Paper Arts and join in the fun.

Just for You

Pin It

Here's another card I made yesterday.

Was playing with water colour effects.

I had seen Bokeh Technique a lot last year on blog but didn't try it until yesterday.

Splitcoaststampers have a tutorial HERE.

 I have used Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Melon Mambo and Whisper White.

I have used Botanicals for You Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set.

I embossed on top of the Bokeh back ground, then add some Rhinestones for some bling.

Happy Birthday Samuel

Pin It

Today is our youngest birthday, Samuel hits double figures 6pm tonight.

Interesting fact for you, all our babies were born very close to 6am or 6pm.

Samuel is having a Minecraft party this coming Saturday.

Here is his birthday card.

It is a Creeper card.

To get all the squares I cut 1/2" stripes of Mossy Meadow, Pistachio Pudding, Soft Suede, Pear Pizzazz and Wild Wasabi Card Stock, I glued them with Glue Stick to copy paper to striped card, then I cut them into 1/2" strips going across the stripes. Then I used the Bargello Technique to make the background. 

I used the Crazy about You Stamp set to stamp birthday and the Hello You Thinlits happy, that you can buy in a bundle together and save 15%

I used the Big Day SAB Stamp Set in the inner, I stamped it with  Memento Ink and used Blendies to colour the birthday.

Just Add a Sunburst!

This week at Just Add Ink challenge 205 - Just Add a Sunburst.

I knew straight away what technique I was going to use.

I wanted to made a Starburst/ Sunburst card, Dawn Olchefske has a video tutorial.

I have seen lots online, it's been on my to do list for a while now.

 I have used Quartrefancy Specialty Designer paper for the Sunburst.
I love the bright colours in this DSP.

I used 2 of the Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie sides of the paper to make my sunburst.

I used the Sale-A-Bration See Ya later Stamp Set, I stamped it in Black Stazon on Whisper White Card Stock.

 I love this set, you can earn it for free when you spend $110 from me.
I punched it out with 2 3/8" Scallop Punch, then I sponged with Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie Ink.
I added a heart from the Owl Punch and added a tiny Pearl Bacis Jewels.
I punch out a 2 1/2" Circle in Pumpkin Pie and mounted both with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I added Daffodil Delight 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon lengthways.

I sponged the inside Whisper White Card Stock and 2 strips of the DSP.
Thanks Tina for the challenge, go and check out Just Add Ink and play along with challenge.

Wrinkle Free Distress Techniqe

Pin It

At unconvention Michelle set us a technique challenge.

The technique was Wrinkle Free Distress found here on Splitcoaststampers.

 You need a non stick surface, I don't have one so I used a plastic bag, it worked but is wasn't the best.

Last night at the team meeting when we were doing the make and take we used the Circle Scissors Plus Glass Mat with ink and a brayer.

I had a light bulb moment and realized I could have used my glass mat for this technique.

I have used Always Artichoke, Cajun Craze and More Mustard.

'Forever Young' Stamp Set is a set I haven't used till a few weeks ago, which I embossed.

I have also used 'Loving Thoughts' Stamp Set from the Autumn-Winter Mini.

The tutorial used card stock, so I tried Whisper White it turned out dull and flat.

So I tried Glossy White Card Stock and loved the result.

Go and have a look at the tutorial and try it.

Richelle's Card #1 Unconvention

Pin It

Richele challenged us all to make a 'Waterfall Card'.

I have made a couple of waterfall cards before.

So I got thinking what stamp set should I use, I decided on 'Tidings of Joy'.

 I used the Nativity stamp and stamped in Black Stazon Ink on to Water Colour Card, spotlighting 4 scenes.

 I water coloured using Aqua Painters and our Ink Pads.

I used Crumb Cake, More Mustard and Marina Mist Card Stock.

I added 2 Antique Brads and it's Complete.

Waterfall cards are nice and easy to made for someone special.

I won this challenge.

If you would like to have a go at a waterfall card,  

Contact me for a workshop or a class.

60th Anniversary

Here's a card that I made for everyone at church to sign for Arthur and Olwyn's 60yh Wedding Anniversary.

 Its a large card I used a whole sheet of A4 card to make this.

I have used Basic Grey, Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White Colour Combo.

I have used the Double Embossing Technique again I so love this technique.

I have left the inside very plain, I used the birthday verse from 'God's Blessing' Stamp Set and changed it to Happy Anniversary using 'Teeny Tiny Sentiments' Stamp Set.

What a Great Day....

.....on Saturday at Dunedin Regional's.

 We were a small gathering, we all had a great time, lots of fun and laughter was had by all.

Thanks Em, Sophie, Patrice and Christine.

One of the suitcases with Sophie laptop and many other product had got lost somewhere in Auckland, so we had to improvise with our make 'n' takes as we had a few things missing and Sophie did a wonderful session on wheels without product or images for us to see.

I made some of my make 'n' takes and I will finish the rest this week and Sophie has promised to email her photos of her wheels projects.

I won a door prize which is 'Sew Suite' Stamp Set that is in the Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue which will be available from the 1st April.

This is a great stamp set and was on my wish list, I can't wait to get all the others bits and pieces to compliment this set. I looking forward to playing with it.

Thanks girls.

Here are my swaps.

 I have used 'Masking and Inbedded Embossing' Technique.

Crumb Cake, Tangerine Tango, Not Quite Navy, Baja Breeze and Riding Hood Red are the colours I have used.

I used Circle Circus and Heard from the Heart Stamp Sets.

I will be back in the next few days with the other swaps. 

We had a great weekend in Dunedin, we had a surprise birthday party to attend on Saturday and we were able to catch up with other today.

It's great to be home, we have our niece Jessica coming to stay a few days to have a break from CHCH.

Hope you had a great weekend.
