Awesome News! I'm designing for...

Hooray! I'm designing for Craftie Cafe!

I was super excited when I got the email and I'm so happy to be part of this team to showcase some of the awesome craft products that they stock.

This is my first blog post for this design team - the theme: Mother's Day!

This year will be my 4th year personally celebrating as a 'mummy'. I'm hoping I will get my first handmade card from my 4 year old who started kindy this year. For those that don't know I am a mum of three. So far...I've been a little too busy (doing mummy stuff) to celebrate previous mothers days (and they're too little to make me breakfast in bed!) but I've always made the time to create a special card for my own mum - who (especially this year) has been super helpful.

I made this card using Waffle Flowers Leafy stamp and coordinating die set. Below you will find a slideshow video of instructions and a supplies list with links to the products used to make this card.



Happy Mother's Day Slideshow Tutorial



Since I was experimenting with shades of grey ink on kraft card my original card (below) shows an example that you should always wait for the ink to dry before proceeding with the card. The next day when I had time to work on it a little more I noticed the grey was a lot lighter than the day before. It still gives it a nice shadow effect but it is really important to make that swatch and to let it dry completely!



Here is a list of supplies used to create both cards.

Supplies Used:


Other:

Tape Runner 
Scissors/Paper Trimmer 
Bazzill – Kraft 
KaiserCard – Ivory 
Light Pink, Grey Cardstock 
Prismacolor Pencils - PC928 PC938 PC956 
MISTI 
Neutral Twine 
Gold Washi Tape 
Simon Says Stamp Ink - FOG (Card#2)
Wink of Stella – Clear 



Craftie Cafe stock a lovely range of Waffle Flower Craft stamps and dies, and as they're one of my favourite brands to play with you will see a lot more inspiration using these stamps soon!


Happy Crafting!

Growing in Unity: Day 1

Image
Yippee!! After waiting 11 months, 10 days, it's finally my week to share my Unity cards. 5 whole days of inspiration is coming your way...oh! and lets not forget the sponsored giveaway by Unity at the end of my week - a grab bag with 25 random stamps! My first card I decided to use one of my favourite sets - I actually combined two (no, three!) Unity sets that really go well together. How do you use your Unity stamps? Would you mix and match them? When I first starting stamping (15 years ago) the thought of mixing sets would make me cringe - but now... no problems! I think it's a great way to make the most of your stamp collection. Here are my cards using Unity: Tumbleweed Houses , On My Way and Gypsy Journal (sentiment only) I coloured the images using a few of my ZIG brush pens and cut them out with my silhouette (for those who are visiting me for the first time - I try to avoid fussy cutting!) I added a few sewing machine details and adhered the hous...

A Super Quick Card!

Image
Just sharing another card I made (with the help of master 2 1/2yo). Stamp is unity -  Vase with stripes.  C oloured with prisma pencils and gamsol. A super quick card to make as master 2 1/2yo did most of the work. I just added some washi tape, sequins, twine and a stamp I coloured in during the week (for practice)  :) Entered into  ARTastic Inspiration Photo Challenge . Link to Unity Friends with Flair.

A Spring Inspired Card...

Image
This week (or should I say the last few weeks) have been super crazy busy! We got good news, my Hubby renewed his work contract with the option to move back home to Adelaide (which of course we jumped at!) So...we are now packing our belongings in to boxes and the worst room is...come on! have a guess! :) Yup!! My craft room... But its mostly packed up, with the exception of a few stamps, paper packs, a handful of embellishments and my copic markers.  Last week, in between all the craft room packing (I got distracted a few times!) I created this card, its from Unity's ...bunches of love stamps. I decided to make a few, I hate having left over paper, so I tend to create a card (generally for someone's birthday coming up) and then duplicate it so I have a stash of cards for those occasions you forget someones birthday coming up!  This was the perfect stamp set to do this! While stamping, I wished I had that misti tool Ive seen a few times now through youtube videos,...
