Craftin Desert Divas: Shake It Up! (with Fall Fairies)

Hello Welcome! This week the Craftin Desert Divas design team has been sharing shaker cards. If this isn't a card you've created before it is a must try. For my card I decided to create a little pocket using a mesh material. This requires using a sewing machine to stitch a border that holds the sequin bits in but could also be achieved by hand stitching or using double sided tape, then creating a frame with paper to conceal the tape. 
Stamp Set: 
Craftin Desert Divas: Fall Fairies
Dies: Craftin Desert Divas: Mushroom Border Die/ Outdoor Landscape Die
Copic Markers:
Hair: R21/R22/R24/R27/R29
Skin: E000/E00/E02/R20
Wings: G0000/G000/G00
Clothing: B00/B00/B01/B02/B04/G00/G02/G03/G05
Bunny: N0/N01/N03/N05/N06


Have you tried creating a shaker card before? Is there such thing as too many sequins? If you haven't tried this technique before there is a wonderful video up on Craftin Desert Divas blog by design team member Sherry - check out her take on the shaker card and give it a go yourself! 

Thanks for stopping by! 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 Fun Card!

Image
Just sharing... :) After my copic order arrived I was able to finish colouring in this stamp and create this card. I don't know about you but when I make a card, I always get to the end (or so I think so...) and go somethings missing... Add some sequins, a white dash boarder, step back...Done! COPICS: YR65 YR68 YG17 B16 R46 R20 Y11 Y15 Y19 Stamp: Unity Happy Chick Birthday This was such a fun stamp to colour, I decided I needed to make another! This time using orange as a colour base.  Link to Unity Friend with Flair . Entered into SSS Monday Challenge: B (for bird and birthday's!). #142 Entered into SSS Wednesday Challenge: Girly #553 Thanks for stopping by.  Samantha

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,...
