Jaded Blossom: Challenge Guest Designer

I'm thrilled to say that I'm a guest designer over at Jaded Blossom for this month! The last two weeks I've been buried in paper, ink and lollies (yup the sweet delicious kind) to create a few fun projects that I can't wait to share with you!

First up, I'm participating the this month Jaded Blossom Challenge. I've never actually created from a tic tac toe challenge board before. I have to say I probably included more then the three I actually need to pick from...

Here is my card:

Here is the challenge:

I chose diagonally working with die-cut, enamel dots, and circle. (Technically I also used the opposite diagonal line and used birthday, enamel dots, and blue!) 

The supplies I used to create this card are listed below with direct links. This was the first time working with Jaded Blossom stamps and dies - I love that they have such a fun selection of party favour items. The Bot Candies and Robotastic stamps are perfect for card making and the Ric Rac Topper Die makes such a fun extra gift to give away to someone on their special day.
Supplies Used:

Other:
Ranger Dye Ink
Neenah Solar White Card
Blue cardstock
Twine
Sewing Machine
Cuttlebug
Enamel Dots
3D Tape/GlueDots/Tape Runner
Scissors/Paper Trimmer
MISTI
Scoring Board
Embossing Folder
I created this card by first embossing the 'gears' on to blue cardstock. I used a corner punch on the top right corner then added a machine stitched border. Next, I stamped and die-cut using the Bot Candies stamp set and co-ordinating Candy Charm & Banners die. The sentiment is from the stamp: Robotastic this  was also stamped (in blue) then cut out to create individual words. I assembled my card (as shown). The card is embellished with enamel dots and a twine bow.  

TIP: The card front was too large to fit within the embossing folder - so I decided to only use a section of it. The impression was made diagonally. 
All of the candy charms plus sentiment was adhered to the card using foam tape!  
I hope you can play in this months Jaded Blossom Challenge! Here is a link back to their blog for details. See their design team in action. 

I have a few more card this month to showcase their June Release items so come back - it's going to be such a fun, inspirational, creative month...

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,
