Male Card...

G'Day Stampers,

It has been a couple of days since my last post.

This is one of the cards we made Wednesday, using the great & effective Technique - Crayon Resist.  We also stamped off to create the faint shells in the background.

Although it was created for a male, it could easily be a female's card as well.

Supplies -

Stamp Set - Seaside, Bitty Birthday

Ink - Creamy Carmel, Ballet Blue, StazOn

Cardstock - Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Ballet Blue, Glossy White

Punches - 1 3/8" Square, 1 1/4" Square

Accessories - Snail Adhesive, Grosgrain Ribbon - Chocolate Chip, Stamping Sponges, Crayons

Don't forget, if you would like to learn new techniques, please see the Classes at the top for times & dates.

Until next time, Enjoy!

Shells.............

G'Day Stampers,

An early start this morning.....

After coming home from the beach yesterday arvo & finding this great, but oh so easy sketch  - http://just-add-ink.blogspot.com - decided to add the 2 together & here is my interpretation of the sketch.

The DSP I've used looks a little like starfish, so decided to go match it in with the stamp set.

Card -

Supplies -

Stamp Set - Seaside, Bitty Birthday

Ink - Chocolate Chip, Not Quite Navy

Cardstock - Very Vanilla, Not Quiet Navy,

Chocolate Chip

DSP - Bella Bleu

Accessories - Anywhere Glue Stick, Mini Glue Dots

I've stamped the greeting from "Bitty Birthday" straight along the strip of Very Vanilla.  It isn't a straight line, but I wanted it like that, as it sort of reminds me of the waves coming in.

Until next time, Enjoy!

A Couple of Days....

It's been a couple of days since my last post, but hopefully this card will make up for it.  Yet again another birthday!

Supplies -

Stamp Set - Seaside, Great Friend - "For You"

Ink - Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue

Cardstock - Whisper White, Bashful Blue

Punches - 1 3/8", 1 1/4"

Accessories - Adhesive Glue, Mat Pack, Chalks

Non-SU - Cuttlebug

I've used the cuttlebug to emboss the Whisper White so that it looks a little like small waves.  

Using Chocolate Chip stamp pad, I then chalked the shell using shades of different blue.  Pefore adhereing to the Chocolate Chip, I then pieced 3 corners using my Paper Piecer & Matt Pack.  Great little Tool!

Enjoy

Tmw's Today...

Supplies -

Cardstock - Whisper White, Basic Black, Pink Pirouette - Textured

Ink - StazOn Black

Stamp Set - Fifth Avenue, Warm Words

Accessories - SU Embossing Powder - Clear, Snail Glue

Birthday Card...

I almost forgot to post the matching card.  I did this to match in with the place cards, and as usual had no idea what I was going to do, except I had the colours in my hand ready to go.

Supplies -
Cardstock - Whisper White, Basic Black
DSP - Urban Oasis
Punches - Oval, Scallop Oval
Stamp Set - Oval All
Accessories - Pearl from Pretties Kit, Snail Glue, Stampin Emboss - White, StazOn - Black, Cuttlebug

You are not able to see, but I embossed the same flower on the envelope - black on black.  It come up really lovely as it was just suttle & didn't stand out
Until tmw - Have a great day!

Vicky
PS  Have I mentioned how I love these new DSP's...
