Feather and Fairy

Here is todays card, I used Bahama Blue card stock, and used some  gesso to add some of the white shading on the card, and a small white doily which I coloured with Tim Holtz distress ink in "Walnut stain"  I added a bottle top with a little girl image and I cut the feather and pen nibs with Tim Holtz Bigz die "writing desk", a white organza bow and a small silver fairy charm that came in a packet of charms from China.  I think this cutting die will become a favourite of mine, I really like Tim Holtz dies!!!

Two New Cards

 These are two cards I made yesterday afternoon, the first one has orange cardstock as a base with paper from a free paper pack from Australian Simply Cards issue Number 63, the square section is from the same pack as is the dark coloured flower.   I used the spotted paper from the pack and used scrap paper from my stash for the flags and used similar to cut out the butterflies with a punch, un-named, the large spotted paper came out of the scrap basket too, and the ribbon bow was out of my ribbon stash and the little blue flower in the centre of the larger flower was bought in a pack from one of the "cheap shops"










This card was made with green card
stock for the base with white card
for the topper and was edged with
Memento ink pad "Cottage Ivy"
and the stamps came as a free gift with
one of the Papercrafter card kits.
and the brass anchor was in a pack of
charms from China.

First Christmas Card Challenge for 2014

I made this card this morning for the First card challenge of 2014 from

52 {Christmas} card Challenge of 2014, at http://52cct.blogspot.com.au , I made this card out of mostly scrap papers that were left over from last years cards!  I used a red cardstock together with a white card embossed with an embossing folder from Cuttlebug, I don't know the name of this folder because when I bought it at a craft shop in Queensland there was no name only a cellophane bag, the red stars came from a free pack of christmas dodads from a magazine, the sentiment was stamped with a Christmas Stamp from www.sullivans.net which I bought at last years Newcastle's Craft Show.   paper backing that was cut with a Couture Nesting Die "Victorian Rectangle"  I shaded the edges with Memento ink pads, "Lady Bug" and "Cottage Ivy" Hope you all like this one!!!

Sewing Room

The inpiration for this card came Baukje's Cards and Crafts. her newsletter on 2/1/14, I really like this one and found some cutting dies that I could use to make a similar card, I used plain white cardstock with a black topper, then more white which I embossed with Mpress "Retro Swirls"  I used a Joy Crafts cutting die "sewing room set" and the scissors were bought from China in a batch of charms, the model is a Sizzex Movers and shapers, also called "the Sewing Room Set" I also used a magnetic base tray for this die, the flowers are cut from two punches from carl.mfg.co.Ltd. "Sakura" and "small daisy", the gems are from my stash and I don't remember where they came from.   The embossing is highlighted with Memento ink pad, Bahama Blue and Black, I also used a Spellbinders embossing mat for the sewing machine and cottom reel.

Sky line

These are two cards I made yesterday,

they are made with dark blue card stock,

and I used Die-Namics Skyline cutting

die in Silver Card, which looks unusual in the photo's I also used Die-Namics cutting die for the "Celebrate" and a

Marianne's Creatables cutting die for the

"Happy Birthday"   I am very pleased with the way these cards turned out! I used Sellotape double sided tape to stick on the skyline and Xyron 1.5 adhesive tape machine for the sentiments.

Birthday Card

Here is today's card, I haven't posted anything because I have been visiting my son and daughter in law and their kiddies for Christmas, so haven't made any cards,
this one is on an orange card stock, with paper from a free pad
from Australian Simply Cards, I used a doily that I bought from IGA supermarket, with one of the flower pop outs in the
pad and used a rhinestone brad for the centre, I used a Marianne's Creatable "Happy Birthday" cutting die for the
sentiment on the inside of the card.

 

Time Flies

These are todays cards, I used ordinary card stock for the bases on these cards,

and used for the top one paper from "Petite Pages" from a Webster 6" x 6" pad that I got free with Australian Simply Cards magazine, I used the Tim Holtz clock from the Movers and Shapers magnetic die and the clock face is from  a Bo Bunny 6" x 6" pad "Timepiece Collection" which I have for some time, it is a lovely collection of

papers the stamped clocks were free stamps from "Craft Stamper Magazine"

For the second card the paper used is from Graphic 45 "Bohemian Bazaar" "Dazzling Sunset" I really love the Graphic 45 papers, they are so easy to use.  The clock was cut from Blue card stock at the same time that I cut the cold one on the other card. and the wings on both cards are from Tim Holtz cutting die "Heart Wings" that is another favourite, and the stamps on this one are from, I think, Stampers Anonymous.

I am very happy with these cards, I usually make one for sending and the other to put in a box for the gift boxes of cards that I make.
