Elizabeth Craft Designs: April Showers

Hello - Today I am sharing two cards I created using Elizabeth Craft Designs: April Showers stamp and co-ordinating die. This was such a fun stamp set to colour that I decided to make a quick video tutorial which you can view below.

Here is the first card: 
Sentiment: A little rain makes the sunshine even brighter.
I also used Elizabeth Craft Designs: Garden Notes Frame It/Stitched Rectangles die as well as the grass die that is in the Elizabeth Craft Designs: Adventure Edges die set ( I love this die - an essential for creating beautiful scenes).

I really love the ducks in this stamp set - as I was making these cards all I could think of was the nursery rhyme Five Little Ducks. For my second card I decided to focus on the Mummy duck and her five little ducklings...
Supplies List:
Elizabeth Craft Designs
April Showers 
Adventure Edges
Garden Notes - Frame It/Stitched Rectangles
Clear Double Sided Adhesive

Other:
Copic Markers (markers listed in video)
Cardstock
Lil' Inkers - Cloud Die
Twine
Sewing Machine
Sequins
Foam Tape/Tape Runner/Glue Dot



Both cards have quite a bit of dimension - where possible I added foam tape. I added machine stitched details though the rectangle die on it's own is also beautifully stitched. I embellished the card with sequins and a twine bow.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed both cards today and my quick colouring video.

 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,...
