Roller Wheel Fun

I made these on Saturday afternoon as an example of Stampin Up's new Baby Tees Roller Wheel.

Even though all the cards are the same, each one has their own personality.

I enjoy using the roller wheels in this manner just as much as using them for backgrounds etc.

Mojo Challenge Week 150

Here is my submission for the Mojo Monday Sketch 150.

I can personally now say, I have another addiction.
I can also say, if you haven't tried a mojo sketch, do it.

I used the Vintage Vogue (Clear stamp set)
Rich Razzleberry cardstock
Old Olive cardstock (Still my favorite)
Cottage Wall Designer Papers
Rich Razzleberry Ink
Rich Razzleberry Ribbon

Naturally, idea came from Mojo Monday.

One for the little men

 

I can't believe I haven't posted these cards yet.

I made them when the stamps were new and have had them sitting in my craft room for months.

Does that suggest that my craft room is a little bit unorganised?

I guess I know what I am doing today, cleaning my craft room I would say.

I used the goodmorning sunshine designer papers for these cards. I really like this paper, and I think it looks great on little man cards. Nice and bright.

This is the second birthday bot card, using the same designer papers. You can tell by the image, that I hadn't tried the watercolour paper back then. Although I am not sure whether using the watercolour technique would have the same impact.

Another idea just just sprung to mind.

I should have used the little nuts and bolts from this set on my tool cards. Would have worked in rather well. So if anyone is going to CASE these cards, let me know how it goes.

Birthday Princess

Following the 'Side Step' card I made using the unfrogettable stamp set, I thought I had better make a card using a girlie set. This one I thought was just perfect. One of my ladies had requested a card that she can CASE for her granddaughters 10th birthday. I am hoping that she will like this one.

The tutorial for this style of card can be found under the heading tutorials. Although I did alter the width of the side step so I could fit the image of the princess in. Have fun.

A few more for the boys

Mojo Sketch 148 & 149

Here are the last two sketch challenges from Mojo Monday. If you are ever stuck for an idea for a card, simply check out their site and give a sketch a go. They are really good fun, and very addictive.

Technique Instructions

I have included a free download for the Technique Classes I run every fortnight with my class. If you go to the Techniques page it is located there. When we finish some more, I will add those too. Happy Stamping.

Mojo Sketch 148 More Fishy Birthdays

Here is my submission for Mojo Mondays Number 148 Sketch. I love doing these sketches, they make card making a little easier when you have a layout.

I used the Fish stamp again. Love it. Never going to sell it. I used some glitter on some of the scales, to give the fish a bit of bling. A little bit like the Rainbow fish.

I used some old designer paper as well.
I will be making a tutorial for the fish cards I have on my blog. So watch out......

Colour my World

Colour my World Swatch Booklet Download

I made this little colour swatch booklet a while ago now, and it has been pretty popular on Splicoast Stampers. I thought I would plop it on my blog for everyone who doesn't know about Splitcoast.

Page 6 has the instructions of how to put the booklet together and page 7 has dividers (that you can place where ever you like). Please do not think that you have to follow any specific rules when using downloads from my blog. Thanks for looking, have fun building and, please let me know what you think.
When then new colours arrive from Stampin Up, I will be updating (or rather) making a newer version.

Class Tutorial - Easel Card

Free download available here

Just a quick note about my Class Tutorials. These are guides only to creating cards with basic measurements. You can change the measurements, card colours, stamp sets etc. They are not a (you have to do this tutorial), feel free to do what you want with them. Just don't reproduce them...Y'all know what I mean.

I have included samples of my cards with the guides as an idea of what can be done with the tutorials. They are not designed to reproduce my cards, but feel free if you wish to. Most products I use are Stampin Up naturally, who in no way endorse my end product.

Side Step Card Tutorial

Side Step Card

Wow, I had a lot of fun doing this card. I am trying really hard to post the tutorial on this blog, but alas I am having a little bit of trouble. If you keep checking back, it will be here soon. The tutorial has examples of two different step cards. I have spent all morning typing them up, so fingers crossed, I will be able to post it here.
A lot of the materials used in this card is 'old stock' from Stampin Up. Although only being a demonstrator of a little while, everything is still pretty new to me.

Mojo Monday Sketch 147

Finally after years of following Mojo Monday s' sketches, I have finally made a card. I have used some of the discontinued patterned paper and alas, discontinued stamps. Although, I really don't think that any of the supplies I have are really discontinued. If you want to have a go at this sketch, check out the Mojo site. It really is a fun way of making a card.

Get Well Soon Shirley

I made this card while the girls were playing with their Buckle Cards this morning.

I used one of Dustin Pikes digital images for the main image and Stampin Up designer papers just finished off the card nicely.

I think I will be using more of Dustins' digital stamps in the future. He is an extremely talented artist. Oh I  am so jealous of talented people. LOL

Here is the 'Buckle Card' the class made this week.

Shirts, Shirts and more Shirts

 

Here are the cards I have made for my children to give their father for Fathers' Day this year. The only problem I have is that I can't choose which ones to use. I spent today making the vest card, template came from Amy Celona site http://www.ustamp4fun.com/. I made a few minor alterations, but all in all, the template was easy to use. I copied the template onto some heavy cardstock, so I will be making more of these cards for sure.

Colour Selector

While searching the internet this afternoon, (while working) I stumbled across this fantastic colour selection tool. Click on the icon on my sidebar and have a play. Best of all, it's FREE. I can't find who is responsible for this, but thank you anyway.

A Little Birdy Told Me

I saw this little booklet in the latest Kaiser craft magazine and instantly fell in love with it. All Kaiser craft products can be found at http://www.kaisercraft.com.au/. This project was definitely worth making, just to sit in my craft room. There are also printable sheets on the website for the names, addresses and birthday months. I would definitely recommend trying this project.

More Pun Fun

Here are the other cards I promised. All inspiration came from Becky Roberts, all I did was stamp and coloured them in. Hope you like them. I am going to be really upset when Stampin Up decide to discontinue this set. I have used it a lot on my blog, and can imaging that everyone is getting pretty sick of seeing them. Although, these card will probably not be the last you will see of Pun Fun.  :)

Baby Pram and Feeder

I found these little cards on Splitcoast Stampers the other day and just had to try them out.

All cards are used with the Sizzix Big Shot Scalloped Circle dies.

I am definitely making some more of these, in Bashful Blue, Barely Banana and Certainly Celery.
So easy, yet so effective.

Masking Technique

Here is the card my class will be making next week. We will be using the masking technique. Once again I have used my favorite stamp set. Pun Fun. I really must admit, I really love this set. I have masked the Hippo, to give the impression that he/she is standing in front of the other animals. The colour combination and card sketch came from Becky Roberts. I love the colours here together. Should be a great class. I have made a few more of these 'type' cards, so I will post the set once I have finished them properly.

Eastern Blooms

These cards here are made from a tutorial written by 'Demo to Demo', you can find the link on the left hand side of my blog. The tutorial has a card holder in it as well, but I just wanted to get the cards done for now.

Kissing Technique

Here is the card we made to demonstrate the 'kissing technique'. This is so simple to do, yet gives your stamps a whole different look.

You can find all instructions and examples of the techniques I have on my blog on the techniques tab under my main heading.
