Craftie Cafe: Sneak peek planner card

It’s a new year and I’m back again for Craftie Café – this month showcasing planner stamps!

Unfortunately, I’m not a planner girl – I keep all that stuff digital on my boring phone…not that I haven’t been drawn to those cute planner stamps or thought about changing it up and going back to a paper diary! I just think I’d procrastinate on the keeping it updated and organised and get distracted with buying more stamps to decorate it (haha!)

So for this month’s theme I’m using those cute planner stamps but I’m creating cards with them – so for those who have an abundant amount of planner stamps can be inspired to utilise them in other ways…

Here is the first card:



I made a few birthday themed cards using Taylored Expressions: Puffy Alpha and Sneak a Peek. I originally thought I’d make some happy new year cards but January marks my thirty something birthday…so I’m in a birthday mood at the moment!




To create these cards I started by stamping all the letters and animal characters on white (copic friendly) card. I used my silhouette to cut them out but for those who don’t have one stick with good old scissors – and cut them out. I thought about colouring the letters – but I changed my mind as I was working out placement, instead I used wink of Stella – clear and gave them a lot of sparkle. The animal characters I coloured in with my copic markers. I’ve listed the markers below along with the rest of the supplies I used to create these cards.

Once the characters were all coloured I assembled them on to my card front. I used foam tape to prop up the letters and tucked the characters where they could fit behind the letters. I finished the cards off by adding stars and sequins. Matted the card front to a black card base and lastly added some black and silver twine to fit in with the sparkly letters and star theme I was going with…

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 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,...
