Girls go fishing too…

Hello. Hope you all had a great Easter Break. We visited family and after quite a hectic weekend felt like a little chill out when we got home this evening.  So we put our feet up with a takeaway and a movie. Hence I’m a little late posting today.

Just wanted to show a little more of the card I shared over on the Whimsy Inspirations Challenge today. This card uses Marie from StampArt by Kathryne.

I’m not usually a fan of orange but I quite like how this one turned out.

Supplies:

• Image: Marie  from StampArt by Kathryne  
• Colouring Medium: ProMarkers
• DP: Echo Park ‘A Walk in the PArk’ 6x6 pad
• Card: DCWV Textured Card, and Crafters Companion Classic Crest Solar White Car
• Stamps: Circle Sentiments from Whimsy Stamps  
• Dies & Punches: Spellbinder Circle Nestabilities
• Embellishments: Paper Flowers, Wink of Stella Clear Brush Pen, Ribbon and Doily

Alannah & Snowball

Hi All, hope you are all well. I had this little cutie ready to share a few days ago but a nasty Migraine crept up on me and I’m only just getting back to normal! My vision is a little bit off still so I hope the pictures look OK to you ;-)

This is my first Christmas card made in 2014 (I’m determined to get a head start this year!) and this uses the adorable Alannah & Snowball from StampArt by Kathryne. This little cutie was part of the February release, but be sure to stop back at 5pm today as we will be showcasing the new March Digi Releases…

I think these papers were a Freebie with a magazine but I really love the colours on them so I used silver/blue card and embellishments for the rest of the card. And I used a ProMarker to colour one of the silver mats blue…


Supplies:

• Image: Alannah & Snowball from Whimsy Stamps 
• Colouring Medium: ProMarkers
• DP: Magazine Freebies
• Card: Silver Glitter Paper from Stash
• Stamps: Sentiments from Whimsy Stamps 
• Dies & Punches: Mixture of Spellbinder and Whimsy Stamps and an MS Snowflake Punch
• Embellishments: Snowflake charm, Ribbon, Flat Back Gems, Liquid Pearls and Glitter Glue

Autumn Delight

Today is my day to share over on the Whimsy Inspirations Challenge. This little cutie is Autumn Delight and is one of the newest digis from StampArt by Kathryne available at Whimsy Stamps…

My flowers are handmade using Kraft card and a hessian type material. One is simply a strip of card snipped, rolled and flattened and the other is a strip of material folded, snipped, rolled and squished (works well with felt as well). I think you can get fancy dies to pre-cut the shapes for you but I think this method works well for me.

This post is a bit picture heavy but this isn’t a standard square card and I wanted to show it…

Supplies:

• Image: Autumn Delight from Whimsy Stamps 
• Colouring Medium: ProMarkers
• DP: Fancy Pants ‘Summers End’ 6x6 paper pad
• Card: Joanna Sheen Elegance Ice White 300gsm, Copper Mirri Card and brown card
• Dies & Punches: Tonic Doily Edge Border punch, X-Cut corner rounder and Woodware Tag punch
• Embellishments: Handmade Flowers, gems, flat backed pearl, ribbon bow, skeleton leaves, Stickles, sentiment peel off and Viva Decor Pearl Pen

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

• Cute Card Thursday – Hip to be Square
• Milk Coffee Challenge – Fabulous Fall Colours
• A Creative Romance – Dies or Punches
• Chocolate Coffee and Cards – Anything Goes
• My time to Craft – Autumnal Colours

• Lexis Creations – Autumn Colours
• Top Tip Tuesday – Get in Shape (My Tip is: When using a white Pearl pen/Liquid Pearls put a dot of a watercolour marker underneath and then as the pearl dries it takes on a lovely marbled colour.

Stitching at Whimsy

Morning all, hope the weather is ok where you are! We actually have blue sky and sunshine here on the South Coast today and it sure does make a difference to the mood.

Crafting is still a slow process at the moment as I can only squeeze in little short bursts in between feedings and trying to keep on top of the housework. So I’ve been having a play with digital papers as It’s something I can do one handed on the laptop while feeding Emily. I decide on my layout and resize them all to the right size (using MS Word) so that once printed and cut they are ready to glue together and my layout is complete.

Anyhoo enough waffle, it’s time for a new challenge over at Whimsy Inspirations Challenge and the theme this month is…

Real/Faux Stitching

I’ve used one of the gorgeous new digis that was released 1st March Ari & Toby from StampArt by Kathryne and some fabulous digital papers from Michelle R Designs - Shabby Chic Papers…

I actually attempted to use my sewing machine but it all started going horrible wrong so I gave up with the thread and just used it to pierce the holes, which I later joined together with a blue fine liner.

My image has been coloured with ProMarkers and FlexMarkers and cut out with Sizzix Framelits dies (I’m loving the shape of these at moment). The papers are from Whimsy: Michelle R Designs - Shabby Chic Papers and the blue card is from my stash. The sentiment is from a Paula Pascual Personal Impressions set and a few finishing touches with Viva Decor Pearl Pen, Glitter Glue, Gems and a few paper flowers.

This month our prizes are…first winner:

Second winner:

And third and final winner:

A Mystery Rubber Stamp

Happy Little Bunny

Here is some inspiration using another of March’s gorgeous new Digi’s released by Whimsy Stamps.

This is the adorable Happy Little Bunny from StampArt by Kathryne  and the fabulous Daffodil Blossom Papers from Michele R Designs….

The gorgeous little bunny has been coloured with a mix of ProMarkers and FlexMarkers. The image has been cut out with a circle Nestie and mounted onto a Picot Edge Circle diecut. The sentiment is a small tag stamp that came free with a magazine and the swirls are Lili of the Valley clear stamps. All other items (flowers, pearls, card, etc,) are from my stash.

Whimsy Challenge Midway Inspiration

Morning everyone, I’m here to remind you that you still have time to enter the current challenge at Whimsy Inspirations Challenge.  The theme this time is:

Anything Christmas Goes

I’ve used another gorgeous digi called Christmas Candle from StampArt Design by Kathryne:

The image is stunning and comes complete with the sentiment, so I really have kept this one CAS.

The image has been printed onto Elegance Ice White 300gsm card from Joanna Sheen, coloured with ProMarkers and simply matted onto some red, green and gold card. Lastly I’ve highlighted the dripping wax with some glossy accents and dotted the holly berries with some Stickles Glitter Glue.

Please hop across to Whimsy Inspirations Challenge to see the rest of the midway inspiration.

For my card today I have used a gorgeous image StampArt Design by Kathryne - Snow Day…

Another two Christmas cards made to add to my quota. I printed each image twice, once onto patterned paper (from Sarah Hurley) and once onto white card. I coloured the snowmen with my ProMarkers and then cut them out and layered them onto the patterned backgrounds.
