Elizabeth Craft Designs: Jungle Cuties

Hello - Today I am sharing a card I created using a stamp by Elizabeth Craft Designs called Jungle Cuties. I've had this stamp for awhile and I specifically wanted it for the elephant but I'm really into monkeys at the moment -so... Ta-dah we have another monkey card... 

I really wanted to get my copics out too - I don't colour enough, I really enjoy it though so I've made a decision to colour more in 2018. I love the designs in this stamp set - the images are simple enough to colour and its always nice when you already have the copic markers that work well with a design. I have a lot of greens and quite a few browns so I wasn't pondering over colour combos which I sometimes feel is half the challenge when you don't have all the markers and lots of gaps in between.

Here is the card:



I started off by colouring the stamped images. I used my silhouette to cut them out and then I put them aside to work on the card front. This stamp didn't have any sentiments - and I don't really have any jungle appropriate themed sentiment stamps in my stash so I decided to make my own and print it out. Swinging by...to say hello! seemed to match this swinging monkey perfectly. Once printed, I used a MFT cloud stencil and distress ink -  tumbled glass to blend a very light cloud background. I added a machine stitched line to the top and then carefully arranged my leaves and monkey finishing the card off with some green sequins.

Here is another card using the same process above, changing the sentiment to Happy Birthday PARTY ANIMAL! 




Thanks for stopping by - I will have a few more cards to share using this stamp set soon, I've already coloured the elephants... :) 

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!

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,
