Penny Black 'For you' - a birthday card for my Godfather

Hi and welcome to my little Blog :-) This is a scheduled post because I won't have access to my computer for 2 weeks - it will be very strange to not use it - eek - I think I will feel naked!! Anyway, onto the card.......

I made this quick and simple birthday card for my Godfather's birthday. Hope you're not tired of looking at dog cards! We have so many male birthdays in August in my family - I feel like it's a production line! I have used one of my favourite sketches from Splitcoaststampers SC278 - it's a great sketch because you can have lots of layers or very few. This time I used a circle for the centre image instead of a square.

Not much to explain really. I stamped the image with Versafine Vintage Sepia and coloured it with OMS and Prismacolor pencils, then lightly chalked around the image. I stamped the image again and cut out just the present, added some fine blue glitter with AI glue just to add a little "zing" to the card, then popped it up on 1mm mounts (dimensionals).

I used a Horizontal Slot Punch to punch the hole for threading the ribbon thru just for something a little different but not too fancy for a guy's card.

Easy peasy!

I'm also popping this card into the Splitcoaststampers 'Free for All' Challenge F4A17 of "Man's Best Friend" which can be a dog, cat, goldfish, reptile - any pet you like.

Thanks again for stopping by!

Penny Black Feeding Frenzy - birthday card for my BIL

Hello and welcome to my Blog!

I made this little birthday card for my BIL's birthday - he loves dogs so it wasn't a hard choice to pick a stamp with a Penny Black dog on it! I only bought this cute little stamp the other day and couldn't wait to ink it up - it's so adorable - and I love how their little tails are furiously wagging.

I stamped the image onto Watercolour paper and watercoloured it with acrylic paints. The main image panel and sentiment are up on mounts (dimensionals), The bone is a button and the designer paper is digital.

The sentiment stamp originally had a present in the centre, but I masked it out so I could put the paw pad button there instead.

I am popping this card into the Splitcoaststampers 'Free for All' F4A17 Challenge of 'Man's Best Friend' eg: dog, cats, fish, reptiles etc.

Plus I am also entering the card into the 'Stampin' for the Weekend' Challenge 45 of 'Anything Goes' which can be anything as long as it has a stamped or digi image on it. Makes it a nice and easy challenge :-)

Thanks again for stopping by! Back in a few days with another card.

Lili of the Valley Challenge #55 - Thomas big bunch of flowers

Hello and welcome to my Blog :-)

My DD will be turning 7 very soon and this is the card I made for her birthday. Her favourite colour is pink and she loves cats, flowers, butterflies and glitter, so this is what I came up with. The Lili of the Valley image of 'Thomas - big bunch of Flowers' was the perfect choice. And of course, I had to colour Thomas in the same colours as our own cat Ruby. There is a little pic of Ruby on the LHS of my Blog - scroll down to find it if you want to see her.

Over at the Lili of the Valley Challenge Blog, the fortnightly challenge #55 is a Sketch Challenge plus flowers. Here is the Sketch:

I really love this layout and I'm sure I will use it again.

The image was coloured with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. I added Art Institute very fine transparent pale lemon/pale pink glitter to all the flowers plus the punched butterfly, as well as the cat's ears and cheeks. This is the first time I have used my Octagonal Nesties - aren't they cool?! The lacey corners are a Cuttlebug diecut from the Vintage Die set; it's actually a square die but I just tucked them under the octagon - it's like they were made for each other :-)

Here is a little close-up pic of the transparent glitter. I love how it still lets your shading/colouring be seen and just adds sparkliness.

All the panels are up on mounts (dimensionals). I added some wide pink lacey ribbon across the bottom panel (can you see it?) and added the darker pink cotton lace over the top. The hole for threading thru the darker pink lace on the main panel was made with a Stampin' Up horizontal punch and the lace bow itself was made with my Bow Easy. I did add some Fray Stop to the cut edges of the bow to stop them from fraying.

All the designer papers are digital. The panel underneath the cat was put thru my Cuttlebug using the Roses embossing folder - I really love the bit of texture it adds.

Lastly, I added the pink gems to the top LHS and bottom RHS of the card. I decided not to add a sentiment like the sketch - I didn't think it really needed it.

I am also popping this card into the latest Splitcoaststampers Ways to use it Challenge WT275 Raving on Ribbon. Check out the Gallery for all the cool ways you can use ribbons.

Thanks again for stopping by! Enjoy the rest of your week!

Penny Black new slapstick stamp: Come fly with me!

Hello and thanks for stopping by :-)

I always struggle to think of "titles" for my cards - but this was easy seeing as the little boy had a plane and I've been listening a Michael Buble song in the car: "Come fly with me". Now I can't get the song out of my head LOL!!

Last Friday on Splitcoaststampers, the Free 4 All Friday Challenge for this week was: 'It's a boy thing' - which was very timely because I had to make a "boy" card - and let's face it, masculine cards ARE a challenge aren't they?!! I love to see what other cardmakers come up with. See this link for the deets on the Challenge.

This is another Design Team card for Fat Cat's Card Corner using the gorgeous Penny Black "Wish you were near" slapstick stamp that they sent me. I made another card here which I posted on my Blog about 2 weeks ago using the same image. I love how the little dog is leaning into the boy with his tail wagging - isn't it just such a sweet image?!

I stamped the image onto Watercolour paper and watercoloured it with acrylic paints. You can't really see in the photo, but I added light yellow glitter to the stars on the plane's wings and ribbon tail. The main panel is up on 1mm mounts (dimensionals).

The sentiment panel was diecut with my Cuttlebug and Spellbinder Star Nesties; the green layer/star was hand-cut by tracing the outside of the same nestie I used for the white cardstock so I could have a small border. To diecut the green cardstock with the next size up Star nestie made the panel too big and it looked a bit silly. The stars around the sentiment are the leftover punchies from my Martha Stewart Stars edge punch - they were just the right size I needed to add "something" to the panel; it looked kinda bare with just the words.

When I did the side panel, the brown cardstock base all but disappeared on the brown designer paper background and you could barely see where I had used the Threading Water punch, so I added another layer underneath of blue cardstock to make it stand out more including covering the holes made by the punch (hope that makes sense!). In hindsight, I probably should have just used blue cardstock to begin with, but I'd already finished the panel and didn't want to do it again.

The brads are from a baby embellie set by Brandcorp which I purchased at Target in the Stationery/Scrapbooking section. And the ribbon came from Spotlight. The ribbon was attached in a 2 separate elements and the bow was made with my Bow Easy.

Thanks again for visiting - enjoy the rest of your week!

Penny Black 'For goodness sake' card number two

Hello and welcome to my little world :-) I haven't had much time for cardmaking this week because my DD was off school all week with a chest cold - which I have now as well :-( Still, us Mums just keep going, don't we?!

I made another DT card for Fat Cat's Card Corner using the gorgeous Penny Black 'For Goodness Sake' slapstick stamp that they sent me in my DT Kit. Check out the first card I made with this set here. I have just checked their website and they are out-of-stock until June but you could email them and ask if they might be able to reserve one for you.

I stamped the image onto Watercolour paper and watercoloured with my acrylic paints. I added some fine crystal glitter to the flower on the girl's hat and poncho, and on the 3 dots on her shoe, as well as the bunny's tulip and heart.

The large flower was diecut with the Marianne Design Creatables flower die that was part of my kit - there are 2 sizes of flowers in the set (plus 1 leaf die). Once I diecut the flower, I ran it thru my Cuttlebug using the Textile embossing folder just to add some texture to the designer paper. The flower is up on a 2mm mount (dimensional).

For the sentiment, I diecut lavender cardstock with my Cuttlebug and Spellbinder Scalloped Heart Nestabilities die then punched the white cardstock with my old Carl CP-2 Heart punch (which I have had forever). The tiny heart in the centre of the panel is a leftover punchie from using my EK Success Arrows Border punch - I added some Crystal glitter to the heart too.

The bottom panel has been punched with a Martha Stewart Pinking Scallop edge punch - I seriously love this punch - it's so pretty. I ran the panel thru my Cuttlebug using the 'oldie-but-a-goodie' Swiss Dots embossing folder then attached the ribbon. The bow itself was made with my Bow Easy, then I sewed on a gold heart charm before I glued the bow onto the card.

All the designer papers are digital and are from NitWit Collections Fat Quarter Bundle Series "Just Ducky" ©2010 by Mary Fran of www.nitwitcollections.com

I think you could use this card for lots of different occasions: birthday, friendship, thank you etc.

I'm popping this card in this week's Splitcoaststampers "Ways to use it" Challenge WT272 of "Paint". Of course, I used paints for watercolouring.

Thanks again for visiting and have a great weekend - hopefully back in a few days with another card.

Penny Black: Wish you were near.......

Hello and welcome to my Blog :-)

When Fat Cat's Card Corner sent me this Penny Black image "Wish you were near" as part of my Design Team pack, I literally squealed with delight! Oh my gosh - isn't it just so adorable?!! As you probably can already tell from my Blog, I LOVE Penny Black stamps, so I couldn't wait to ink this little guy up! It is a slapstick unmounted stamp that you just pop on your stamp block - it already comes with the cushion and the back of the pack has a coloured picture of the image which is helpful for colouring the image.

I stamped the image onto 140lb/300gsm Watercolour paper and watercoloured it with JoSonya Acrylic paints. The sentiment I actually cut into 4 pieces so I could fit the words into my Spellbinders diecut circle - very handy having an umounted stamp that you can chop up! The 3 stars around the sentiment are the leftover punchies from my Martha Stewart Stars punch - they were just the right size that I needed. The blue circle was punched with a 43mm Kaszazz circle punch as the layering looked better having a narrow border than the next size up of circle nesties. The sentiment panel is also up on 1mm mounts (dimensionals).

The side panel has a score line next to the Fiskars Threading water punched border - you probably can't see the line, but trust me, it's there. I made it with my Martha Stewart Scoring Board and put it there so that when I add the designer paper to the panel, I can butt it up against this line and I know that it's straight.

Aren't the designer papers gorgeous?! I love these colours - they seemed to be perfect for this image. All the designer papers are digital papers by NitWit - Series "Snow Folk" ©2009 by Mary Fran of www.nitwitcollections.com The papers are from 2 collections: Snow Folk Too and Snow Folk Collection The striped heart on top of the ribbon is one of the elements that comes with the set - there are several different hearts in the set - just adjusted the size I wanted on my Scanner program, and pressed "print" to print it on white cardstock, then simply cut it out.

Thanks again for stopping by to have a peek at my card!

Penny Black: 'For you' - Doggone - it's another birthday card!

Hello and thanks for stopping by my little Blog :-)

Over at Splitcoaststampers, about 2 weeks ago Roxie posted a fabulous sketch: Sketch Challenge #278 and thought it would be perfect for my nephew's birthday card. This is one sketch I will definitely use again - I really love it!

The image was stamped with Vintage Sepia ink and then I heat-set it with my heat-gun to make sure the Odorless Mineral Spirits wouldn't bleed the outlines. I coloured it with Prismacolor pencils + Gamsol and lightly chalked around the image for the sky and ground. I stamped the image again and cut out just the present and added fine blue glitter plus I coloured in the bow with a gold gel pen then popped it up on 1mm mounts (dimensionals).

The paw pad is a button which I cut the shank off and attached with a 1mm mount.

The gorgeous designer paper is from a digital set by NitWit Collections called FQB (which stands for Fat Quarter Bundle) - Me-Wow Collection. Isn't it adorable?!

Challenges:

I am entering this card in the Crazy 4 Challenges C4C36 where the Challenge is to use this children's nursery rhyme to create your card -

What are little boys made of?
Frogs and snails
And puppy-dogs' tails,
That's what little boys are made of.

So you can make a boy card, or something with frogs and/or snails, puppy dogs etc. What a fun challenge!

I am also entering this card in The Treehouse Challenge #049 - THT049 which has a Masculine Theme. I love challenges with Masculine themes because, let's face it, masculine cards are "challenging" and we all need ideas - it's great to look at DT cards for loads of inspiration!

Hopefully I'll be back tomorrow with one of my Fat Cat's Card Corner Design Team card.. It has been drizzly and grey all week - not great photographying weather, but the sun should be shining tomorrow according to the Weather Bureau. See you again soon! And thanks again for visiting!

Lili of the Valley: Thomas - Letter for you

Hello! Happy Monday and welcome to my Blog! It's the start of Term 2 at school so I was back doing the school-run today and catching up on cleaning the house after a whirlwind seemingly went through it these past two weeks!

I made this card for my soon-to-be 8 year old niece and thought it would be fun to use some new items the postie brought to my door the other day - which is also the Ways to Use It Challenge #261 (WT261) at Splitcoaststampers from a few weeks back where the theme is "What's new?". See this link for the deets.

So what's new on my card: the Designer Paper is a digital download I did from a few days ago, the cat is my new stamp from Lili of the Valley (LOTV), the flowers are from my new Cuttlebug flower die set, the bottom punched border is my new Martha Stewart Floral Lace edge punch and the embossed purple cardstock is my new Cuttlebug Caramello embossing folder. Sometimes it takes a while before we get the "latest" craft items here in Australia - so some of the items might not seem very new to you if you are in the USA - but they are to me.

I rarely use purples to make a card which is odd because it's my favourite colour, yet I only have about 6 purple ribbons compared to about 100 pink or brown ones. Anyway, I think I'll use purples more often from now on - they look so pretty and are a very nice change from pink.

Isn't this cat stamp just so adorable?!! Being a cat-lover, I had to have this cat (along with several other designs) as soon as Lili of the Valley (UK) released them. I coloured the image with Gamsol and Prismacolor pencils and I added Kindyglitz Crystalina to the cat's cheeks, flowers and around the edges of the envelope. I wrote the 'for you' on the little card with my Zig black pen. I lightly chalked around the image with my Kaisercolour chalks.

The image panel was popped up on 1mm mounts (dimensionals). I also ran my Warm Violet ink around the image panel and Peach Pastel ink around the Buttercream cardstock panel because these panels were handcut using the Nestie as a stencil and it makes them look better because it tends to hide my not-so-perfect cutting! I wish Spellbinders would bring out the inbetween sizes in the Labels Nesties - it would make things so much easier.

The Designer Paper (floral background and purple gingham) is a from a digital set called "Noah's Too" by NitWit Collections. I said I would never use digital papers - I'm eating my words since I thought I would give them a chance and try them and oh my gosh - I am such a convert! They are BIG files to download, but I can print them on my printer using the "Standard" setting which doesn't use too much ink and they just look fantastic. I love the idea of being able to resize the image, or change the colours - and even with only my Canon Scanner program - I don't have Photoshop.

For the flowers: I attached the different coloured elements of the flowers to white cardstock to give them some stability as the Designer paper was printed on just ordinary printing paper which is thin so I needed some extra thickness to keep all the bits together and so I could bend the petals up a bit without ripping the paper! The button is sewed on with Anchor stranded cotton using the full 6 threads. Two of the flowers were mounted with glue dots, and the top LH one is on a 2mm mount so it would be slightly higher then the one next to it.

The ribbon was attached in 2 separate elements and the bow itself was made with my Bow Easy.

I am also entering this card in 3 Challenges:

Alice in Wonderland Challenge - Chapter 8 (OAC8) - the Challenge being "flowers".

The Pink Elephant Challenge #62 - which is 1 image, 2 dies and 3 of my favourite embellies: the 2 dies being the Labels Nesties and the Cuttlebug Flower dies, and 3 of my fav embellies are the flower buttons.

Colour Create Challenge #42 - which is Lilac, Grey & White + the extra challenge of Gingham (my cat is coloured grey in case you are wondering where my grey is). I had to think very hard about how to incorporate the "extra" challenge of Gingham, but that's why it's called a Challenge isn't it?!

Wish me luck :-)

Thanks for stopping in to have a peek at my card!
