Ink Road Stamps: Friday Feature

Merry Christmas everyone!

For me - Christmas is about family, sharing the magic (and the meaning) of Christmas with my little ones and eating as much pudding as I want without feeling guilty!!! It's also about cranking that Christmas music up because I LOVE singing Christmas songs whilst I bake, wrap presents and clean the house in preparation for tonight's dinner - which I am hosting!

So it's a quick post today - sharing some Christmas cards I created for Ink Road Stamps - Friday Feature using Full Circle.



I made a few different colour combos with this card - which I'm glad I did for those last minute Christmas cards people bring with them... 

To create these cards I created a template on my Silhouette. I then took some scrap white card big enough to adhere between the card front and card base and stamped an assortment of full circle stamps (alternating in ink colours). I then embossed my card front, added some machine sewn stitching to the triangle and put that aside. The (now) stamped scrap white card I also added some sewing features and adhered gold (heat) embossed circles to it. I assembled my card - card base, stamped circles card, card front. Adding a star to the top of my tree... 

Below are a few more examples: 






Wishing you all a safe and joyous Christmas!

Happy Crafting!

Growing in Unity: Day 1

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,
