A Happy Day Publication!

Today I’m sharing a card that was published with the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine where the call was to mask a space for sentiments.  A little different to my usual style, but I really did have fun creating the sentiment panel and the matching embossed border.

Other Supplies: Ranger Embossing Powder – Liquid Platinum.  Cotton

Feathers?

I never really did get into the ‘feather’ phase and when the call came from the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine for this as inspiration I initially wrote it off…  and while I was waiting for some texture paste to dry,  I remembered that I won the Thataway collection from Studio Calico a little while back and it had some die cut feathers, and then I found the stitched thingys and then I just started adding stuff and all of a sudden I’d made a card that I hadn’t intended to do in a style that is very different to my usual, so go figure, I had some fun!  Then my texture paste was dry and I was back to the card I had originally started lol.

I suppose it’s good to push those comfort zones a little every now and then.  Have a fabulous day!

Video : Celebrating Altenew’s 1st Video Challenge!

Gotta say that I fought with this card to the end, but had so much fun that I can’t complain.  These Painted Butterflies are one of my most fave sets from Altenew that I couldn’t resist using them for their First Video Challenge….  Also I’m using those frosted sheets yet again….

You can see my video here or Watch it at Youtube.

Not sure that I’ve ever stamped black flowers before, but I am kinda liking the boldness and I decided to try embossing the Delicata gold on the stencil stripes and it seemed to work a treat!

One Die…. Four Ways!

I have a really quick publication share tonight as I’m  totally enjoying my holidays and haven’t even had a chance to make any cards yet! I also just got back from a visit to my brother and SIL  in Gladstone (only a 8 hour drive away) but it was so nice to see them, we ate way too much they have the best Indian restaurant across the road and to be honest it’s worth the drive lol.

So I thought I would share this publication for The Australian Cardmaking, Stamping and Papercraft magazine where I was asked to use one die… four ways and this is what I came up with using some fab MFT products (my apologies in advance for the photo heavy post).

Happy Mother’s Day!

I love flowers on a Mother’s Day card, I know it’s predictable but isn’t that okay, especially when they are as stunning as these Magnolias from Altenew!  I decided it was time to get out my Inktense pencils again and my colouring was inspired by Marika and if you haven’t visited her before I suggest that you click right HERE she is amazing!

I was lucky enough to have this card published recently in the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine.

Forever Fabulous Vellum!

I haven’t had a chance to make a card for way too long now, it’s been a very social month  here and while you are reading this I am off camping at the beach, so fingers crossed the weather is kind.  I am definitely having crafty withdrawals, but do have a card to share.  It’s a publication for the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine, this vellum is so nice (I accidentally bought the wrong one) it has these fab flecks in it!
