Video : Altenew Focus Post – Cake Love!

My first card (and probably my fave) was created with Continue reading
Video: Neat & Tangled Guest Designer – Floral Hearts : Two Ways!
Today I have two more cards using some fun products from Neat & Tangled, this is my last post as Guest Designer… I can’t believe how quickly this month has flown by.
My focus today is the Floral Heart stamp set and matching die and the video is a little longer than usual as I filmed both cards, almost in production line style.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5bHTEt5vM0]
I had to use the Awesome die again, but this time I made it all gold and shiny!
For the remaining sentiments I used the My Favorite Nut stamp set.
I love that the Floral Heart die can be separated, what a genius idea!
I would just like to say a big Thank You to Neat & Tangled I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as Guest Designer this month!

Video : Colour with ‘U’ – Using a Coloured Image!
Today I am back to Colour with ‘U’ and it’s all about watercolouring with a ‘coloured’ image. My ‘go to’ stamping colour for outlines is black and today I thought I would have some fun changing it up a little. I have filmed the card today and

These ballerinas are so sweet, and I know it’s a bit cliche, but I just had to colour them in pink (just to get it out of my system… next time I’ll try different colours, I promise)
Thanks for stopping by today, I really enjoyed creating this card and look forward to sharing more with you real soon. Hugs,

Video: Gerda Steiner Go Wild Party Animals!
I had so much fun stacking the Gerda Steiner Designs Party Animals and the Go Wild stamp sets that I made two…… YES, the Go Wild set has been released and it’s uber cute!
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyTD9ZqGaoU]
The sentiment came from the Moody Unicorns stamp set.
My second card was pretty much the same layout but I changed it up by repeating the same animal for each tier instead. I also thought it would be fun to ‘spatter’ the background and this time I used a sentiment from the sweet little Hedgehog with Sign mini stamp set.
You can find the Party Animals and the Go Wild stamps sets here at Gerda Steiner Designs. Hope you love these cuties as much as I do!
Have a great and crafty day!

Here is the inspiration for this month’s Moodboard challenge…
Obviously I had to use this fabulous colour combo and couldn’t resist adding a striped umbrella to add the ‘fun’ element! I achieved the bright colours with my Zigs and this time resisted adding water on the images (love that option with these beauties) but, the background is the same colours but mixed with water!
How cool are these transparent Nuvos… I am seriously addicted!

Video : It’s time for ‘Action’…. Wobbles!
When I saw the smaller sized Action Wobbles I just knew I ‘had to have‘ them, and now my world is complete lol. They are seriously the perfect size… and for a person who makes very few ‘interactive’ cards, I’m hooked! I decided to film as I created so you can watch the process.

STAMPtember : Simon Says Stamp and Altenew!
Today I created a very quick and simple design with the STAMPtember exclusive stamp set designed by Altenew. This is a beautiful leaf layering set and it’s called Be-Leaf-Me and is perfect for so many different occasions.
I decided that I ‘needed’ to play with my new Zig real brush markers. Yes I finally caved, I bought them and I blame all of you personally, but when I say blame it’s in the nicest possible way because I already love them lol. Just look at that vivid bright watercolour!
There’s heaps of inspiration and so much more happening at Simon Says Stamp this STAMPtember, you should head over and check it out yourself.
I just had to share! Hugs
