Zoo Babies...

I've loved this cute little stamp set since I laid eyes on & have only just managed to ink it up now.  Shame on me!

 

Today's card is one we created in our Friday's Crafty Creations Class.  As usual, I CASEd my card for today.  You can see the original on Pinterest.  I changed my up a little using all SU! Products, but the class did actually use the Embossing Folder which is on the original card.  Thank you so much for your inspiration.

 

I've also used the gorgeous new Embossing Folder - Decorative Dots - which is a FREE item you are able to earn in the upcoming Sale-A-Bration, starting Tuesday, 28 January.  All you have to do is spend $90.00 AUD (excluding P&H).  Contact me for more details!

SC 089/13...

It was my turn to set the challenge this week at Sunny Challenges & Creations.  I went with the theme of "BABY".

This could be anything from cards, 3-D Projects or even a Scrapbook page.  In fact I very nearly did a page, but my mind went blank at the last moment.  I even had a hard time creating my card for the challenge.  Do you ever get something in your mind, knowing that it is all wrong, but not knowing where to go?  This happened to me. 


Once I had finished my card, I suddenly realised that I had created the whole card on top of my catalogue which was opened at the page the stamp set appeared on.  I am just lucky that I didn't get glue, etc all over the page......

My card is a little different as I don't really have any "baby" stamps, except for my wheel.  As bicycles seem to be popular at the Handmade Expo I attend, I thought it perfect timing to catch up on  my baby cards.

For the inside of my card, I cut a piece of Whisper White Cardstock back to 5 1/2" x 3 3/4" or 14cm x 9.5cm & adhered to the inside Base Card.  I cut an upside down "V" into a 3/4" x 5 1/2" or 2cm x 14cm piece of DSP  to form a pennant shape & adhered to top of Whisper White Card.

Feeling Sentimental....

...  for a Baby Girl's Card.  I love the clean crisp look of this card.

This is one of my cards I created for The Handmade Expo a couple of months ago.  In fact, it is proving to be one of my popular Baby Cards, probably because it is so different & has the clean look about it.  I've had so many comments about it that one lady brought 3 of them.  Mind you, I don't create a lot of the same cards, but this is one card that I tend to re-create, usually in different colours.

Today's card is for a Baby Girl.  I will post the others in a couple of days time.

MDS....

Inside Card...

Yahooooooo, I have finally managed to use MDS for a card - little though it is, I did it!!!!!!!

I have played with it over the weeks since purchasing it & I must say I LOVE it.  I don't know if I will use it that much but hey it is a start & who knows what I will create in the future.  For the moment I am quiet happy with myself with what I created.

I've been creating Baby Cards for The Handmade Expo the last couple of weeks as this is one sort of card I seem to sell a lot of.  I don't know what it is about them that seems so popular but the public love them.  Maybe it is the clean look as I like to keep my Baby Cards mainly White with just a little bit of colour.

I cannot take the credit for my card today as I found it on Google, so please if you recognise it, let me know as I would love to give you the credit for your beautiful card.  I did change the colours a little.

Not only did I manage to use MDS but also the stamp set "Pennant Parade" which has been sitting on my shelf gathering dust.  I also used my new EF - Houndstooth.  I wasn't too sure if I would like this folder, but I have to say "YES".................. AND can see myself using it on lots of things.

Supplies -
Stamp Set - Hoppy for You (Retired) - but I had to use it, as this card was screaming for it!!!!
Ink - Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, Lucky Limeade
Cardstock - Whisper White, Pacific Point
Accessories - Stampin' Dimensionals, Snail Adhesive, White Gel Pen

Sorry it is only a short post as I am on the way out the door for my day at the centre & as usual running late.

Happy Stampin'

SC 017/11...

My card for this week's challenge over at Sunny Challenges & Creations is back to the basics & a very simple, easy card!

Gwen set the challenge this week & along with the sketch, a "Nursery Theme" was added!  Now, we all need baby cards sometime during the year, so what better way to begin the new year with adding this type of cards to your stash.  Don't forget to head on over to  Gwen & Kris's blogs to check out what they have created.

Measurements -

Inside...

I run my smaller piece of Whisper White Cardstock through my Bigshot using Embossing Folder - Perfect Polka Dots.  I punched 2 strips of Pink Pirouette Cardstock using the Pinking Heart Border Punch & adhered once piece on either side of the embossed Whisper White piece.  This piece was then adhered to the Base Card - Whisper White - using Snail Adhesive.
 

I stamped my image onto a scrap piece of Whisper White Cardstock using Pink Pirouette Ink.  Cut the oval with my Bigshot & the Ovals Dies.  I again punched a long strip of Pink Pirouette with the Pinking Heart Border Punch & carefully adhered around the oval to form a border.  This piece was adhered to the card using SU Dimensionals.

For my greeting, I stamped onto another scrap of Whisper White Cardstock using Early Expresso Ink, punched with my Word Window Punch, adhered to a piece of Pink Pirouette Cardstock which had been punched with the Modern Label Punch & adhered to the Base Card using SU Dimensionals.

SC 003/11...

This is my 2nd card for the challenge over at Sunny Challenges & Creations Why not head over there & have a go, while at the same time, use that stamp set "Fox & Friends" which may not have seen ink for some time.

This is the great thing about the challenge or as someone described it "Double-Sword" where as you have a sketch to work by as well as a particular stamp set!

All my measurements may be found Here...

Using the Scallop Border Punch, I punched both pieces of Real Red Carstock & adhered them to both ends of the DSP.  I punched a random number of colour circles in Baja Breeze, Pear Pizzazz, Real Red & Pacific Point Cardstocks using the different size Circle Punches & adhered them randomly to Whisper White.  This piece was then embossed using the Square Lattice Embossing Folder & adhered to Pacific Point, then to the DSP & finally the base card.  Are you stick of this folder yet?  I'm sure not!



Inside Card...



I run a piece of Pear Pizzazz Ribbon across the card, followed by a piece of Real Red to the centre of the Pear Pizzazz.  I stamped the turtle image onto a scrap piece of Whisper White Cardstock & punched using my Circle Punch, adhered to a punched piece of Baja Breeze, then to the Scalloped Circle of Chocolate Chip & finally over the top of the ribbons.  I stamped another image using Pear Pizzaz, cut his shell out & applied to the brown image using SU Dimensionals. 



I inked small white dots around the Scalloped Chocolate Chip Circle using my White Gel Pen.

For my greeting/sentiment, I stamped it onto a piece of Whisper White Cardstock using Chocolate Chip Ink punched using the Word Window Punch, adhered to a piece of Baja Breeze which had been punched using the Modern Label Punch & adhered to the card.

I've just realised that I used a hell of a lot of punches, but I think doing it this way can sometimes bring a whole new look to a card.



Supplies -

Stamp Set - Fox & Friends, Short & Sweet

Ink - Chocolate Chip, Pear Pizzazz

Cardstock - Pacific Point, Pear Pizzazz, Baja Breeze, Whisper White, Real Red

 DSP - Celebrations

Punches - Scallop Edge Border, Scallop Circle, 1/2" Circle, 3/4" Circle, 1 1/4" Circle,

1 3/8" Circle, 1 3/4" Circle, Modern Label Extra-Large, Word Window

Embossing Folder - Square Lattice

Ribbon - 1/2" Stitched-Poly - Pear Pizzazz, 1/4" Grosgrain - Real Red

Until next time, Enjoy!

SC 003/11...

Okey Dokey, this will be our third week for the challenge over at Sunny Challenges & Creations and it is going far better than we ever hoped!  If you haven't seen the challenge, why not head over & see for yourself.

This week, I had to provide the sketch & stamp set to use.  I chose Fox & Friends!

Base Card - Pretty in Pink - 5 7/8" x 4 1/4" or 15cm x 10.5cm
Layer 1 - Rose Red - 4 1/4" x 1" or 10.5cm x 2.5cm
Layer 2 - DSP - 4" x 4 1/4" or 10cm x 10.5cm
Layer 3 - Rose Red - 3 1/2" x 2 1/2" or 9cm x 6.5cm
Layer 4 - Very Vanilla - 3 3/8" x 2 3/8" or 8.5cm x 6cm
Layer 5 - Rose Red - 1/2" x 4 1/4" or 1.5cm x 10.5cm
Layer 6 - Ribbon

I adhered Rose Red top & bottom to the DSP.  I stamped my images randomly & direct onto Very Vanilla Cardstock using Rose Red, Pretty in Pink & Soft Suede Inks.  I wanted to bring another colour into the card & browns always work well with pinks, although I didn't want a strong brown, so Soft Suede Ink worked perfectly.

 I adhered Very Vanilla to Rose Red & then to the DSP.  I adhered my Ribbon to the small piece of Rose Red, tied a knot & adhered to the DSP.  This whole piece was then applied to the Base Card.

I stamped my sentiment using Soft Suede Ink, punched it out using the Modern Label Punch, swiped Pretty in Pink around the edges & adhered to the card using SU Dimensionals.

All in all a lovely card for a baby girl!

Stamp Set - Fox & Friends, Short & Sweet

Ink - Rose Red, Pretty in Pink, Soft Suede

Cardstock - Very Vanilla, Rose Red, Pretty in Pink
