Print Candee – Anything Goes!

It’s time again for another blog hop with Print Candee!  Today is a little sad as it’s our last hop, but I gotta say it’s been the most amazing experience being a part of this very talented team and Jocelyn has been the most awesome coordinator!   Our theme is ‘Anything Goes‘, which is actually very difficult when there are soooo many fabulous digi images,cliparts and design papers to choose from at Print Candee.   I thought that my card for today had the perfect sentiment…   and I definitely will miss you all (but you can’t get rid of me that easily, I’ll be visiting for sure)!!   From here you are off to visit Kalyn’s blog.

Tama’s Birthday!

So I had heaps of fun creating this awesome bright ‘monstery’ card for a little boy we know (called Tama-iti, or just Tama for short – it’s a Maori name, just in case you were wondering).  I kinda went a bit digital crazy at Print Candee, which is not hard to do.  These images are awesome and I can see just so many uses for a paint splatter, how much fun is that!  I made this card a little while ago and realized that I hadn’t shared it…  hope you are having a great week,  I’ll be back tomorrow with a Print Candee Blog Hop, see you then!

It’s Party Time… at Print Candee!!

How easy is it to have a party with Print Candee, they have so many ‘ready to go‘ fun kits that it was difficult to choose….  but I have a fab friend who is going to get some funky cupcakes, a cute boxed gift and a fun tiara to wear at her party!  This set was so easy to make, just a little tweaking on the computer, print, cut, paste and voila!   I chose this Zebra with Hot Pink Party Kit with Banner created by Michelle Bradley Designs and combined it with this Crown Clipart by Pink Pueblo, LOVE it!

It’s time again for another blog hop with Print Candee!  Today our theme is a Color/Photo Inspiration and it comes from Design Seeds where you can find the most awesome collection of fun!  You should have arrived here from Kalyn’s blog and then you are off to visit Jocelyn, I’ll bet you can’t wait to see what inspired the rest of the Creative Team, so hop on over and take a peek!    Today I played a sweet Ice Cream clipart set from Booclips and popped it on one of Adrienne Looman’s Cotton Candy papers…. I  just adore these!   Do you know the most wonderful thing about digi’s?  If you make a mistake, you can  print it again and voila…  no-one will ever know….

A Special Print Candee!

Yippppeee, it’s time again for another Print Candee Blog post!!  I can’t wait to see what the team have come up with.   The theme this month is to make a ‘Thank You Project‘ for a special person.   For me that was easy, I asked a close friend to feed our furchildren (we have 2 cats) whilst we were away for a couple of nights, so I made her a quick giftcard set.  I found this amazing collage sheet from The Digi Butterfly and thought it was appropriately combined with this Pink Pueblo Cats Clipart image!  Simple but effective.

With Love – Print Candee

It’s the first of the month (and April fools Day……  ) and that means that it’s time again for another Print Candee post.  Today Jocelyn has been very specific about what she wants us to do….    it’s Anything Goes!  Well that really does open the flood gates, have you seen the variety and awesomeness that is Print Candee, it’s actually very difficult to choose, Go take a look for yourself HERE, you will love it!

So recently I’ve had the urge to watercolour, I keep having these glorious visions and when I saw this Bird Artwork by Adrienne Looman Designs, she had me at Hello!  Oh, and I’ve had my eye on these Heavy Metal Frames by Lilmade for some time and when I saw Print Candee’s Shiny Metal Alphabet…  it’s as good as the Polished Wood Alphabet I knew it was perfect.  Now originally I had no background plans at all and the card was looking a little less glamorous than I visioned, then after just a little troll through all the paper packs available I found this little gem by Digital Potpourri called Icy Blue, and in ‘real life’ the colour is, what can I say…  superb!

One more thing before I finally do go, please go visit the other DT members, they are honestly such a talented bunch, you can find their links in my sidebar!  Enough rattling on, here is my ‘glorious vision’….    slightly different to my normal style.

Print Candee Tutorial & a Surprise!

From a sheet of printed images to a bright cheerful boys card & giftboxes in no time at all, it’s that easy with Print Candee!!  And I’m going to show you just how simple it is.

First I chose the products that I wanted to use:  Little Cowboys – Red & Blue, the matching Little Cowboys Paper Pack and Polished Wood Alphabet all created by Print Candee as well as some awesome Woodgrain Pattern Papers from Fancy Dog Studio and it was as simple as downloading, opening the file, sizing it how I wanted and then print.  (BTW I always print in High quality)

I wanted a distressed edge on the brown border layer… but first I had to go searching for my ‘distressing tool’, tells you just how much I distress…  although, I did get distressed looking for it!   Here’s a few photos of my project… with the big news at the end…..

Printed & Ready to Go!
The final product!

Holidays with Print Candee!

It’s November and time for another Print Candee Blog creation!  The theme is ‘Holidays’ and kinda appropriate for this time of year.  I am busily working on my Xmas card stash and there are so many wonderful products to choose from at Print Candee.  I have used this amazing Paper Pack created by VN Digital Art and combined it with the Woodland Creatures Clipart by Sparrow Graphics.  What I like about these is the versatility, they make the perfect Xmas card but are not  specifically for Xmas.  I love it if I can ‘multi purpose’ a product!

Bella Baker’s Birthday Cake!

Here I go with the Print Candee digital stamps again! They are so addictive…  I have  a friend’s birthday soon and this Bella is perfect for her!  There it is, my favourite blue green, but you can’t blame me, I was inspired by the current challenge inspiration from Jay Gee’s Nook.  It was the colours, and the cakes, and the little rose buds…. loved it all!  I also thought this would be a perfect entry for the LilyPad Cards Simon Says Bling challenge…  too easy!

A Gift For You – Print Candee!

Hi everyone, well I finally immersed myself in a full day of card making and I’ve had a mountain of fun.  Everytime I visit Print Candee I find something else amazing….  it makes my decisions very difficult.   Anyway after much clicking and ooohing and aaahhhing  I decided to use these wonderful images from Pink Pueblo and Print Candee!  They are super easy to use and print like a dream!    The theme for the Creative Team this month is to create ‘a gift for you’.   I wanted to make a gift card set and was inspired by THIS wonderful creation by the very talented Marion.  I followed THIS very easy tutorial by Debby, she is a master of CAS and is such an inspiration.  Are you ready for…   the photo extravaganza?
