Craftin Desert Divas: Skatin By!

Did you miss out seeing Crafting Desert Divas July stamp release? I've created a second set of cards using the Skatin By stamp set. This time I've combined them with the Star  Galaxy Stencil and used black as my card front. The skating critters really pop off the card!



This stamp set is perfect for boys but I know a few girls who would also love a skating themed cards - so I made a few to add to my card stash. Colouring in these critters was easier then I thought it would be - I chose a few colours I knew would work well together...blues, greens, pink and orange. I've listed the Copic markers I used below and you can view a quick colouring video of the bunny I made for a previous card - here.

To create my card front I had the help of my Silhouette Cameo. I don't really use stencils much but I wanted to create my own cut file using a tracing of the stencil. I did this by using my PixScan mat and the trace option within the silhouette program. I then stretched it to the size I needed and the machine did all the hard work of cutting it out. I then ink blended distress ink colours on watercolour card and adhered these to the back of the cut out. I added machine stitched details and sequins to each card. I then adhered the Skatin By critters added the sentiment and finished the card off with a twine bow.  



Check out Craftin Desert Divas Gallery on Facebook for more inspiration! I'll be back during the week with another set of cards using the awesome YOU stamp set...

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 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,
