Beth Duff Designs: New Challenge (FREE Digi!)

This is probably one of the brightest cards I've ever created! All inspired by this super cute dinosaur digi stamp which is available (free) over at Beth Duff Designs blog for her very first challenge!

This guys little face is how I feel some days - Old but still young at heart, "trying to be cool"... I've caught my eldest child giving me the 'what are you doing' look a few times...
I decided to create  a birthday shaker card using a combination of Lawn Fawn and Concord and 9th balloon dies. I created my card base using left over bits of corrugated card and featured little die cut hearts which I then added machine stitched lines in co-ordinating colours. I kept the  same colour theme throughout the card and opted to only colour in parts of the dinosaur using my Copic markers. I call him my little white dinosaur.

There are a lot of elements in this card so I went a little over board with some detailed photos below - but there's texture, sparkle, twine and of course the fun shaker part that I wanted to share with you.




Thanks for stopping by - hop on over to Beth's blog, grab the free digi and start playing!

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,...
