StickerKitten: Alpaca Wishes

Hello! Welcome back! This card was shared over at the StickerKitten blog last week - I'm playing blog catch up this month (because October has been absolutely CRAZY!) 

Today I'm sharing a few cards I created from the latest collection box from StickerKitten! Its called Alpaca Wishes and just like the name suggests its got really cute Alpaca's and a soft Christmas Wintery feel to it. It's one of my favourite collections so far! 

When I decide to create a set of cards I generally like to pick a technique or idea that can be creatively developed in different ways. These cards all focus around banners and I've included a quick tutorial below.
 Supplies List:

Alpaca Wishes Christmas Sequins
Alpaca Wishes Die-Cut Ephemera
Alpaca Wishes Christmas Paper Pack
Alpaca Wishes Photopolymer Stamps (Christmas Alpacas)

Other:
Cardstock
Grey Ink
Sewing Machine
Tape Runner/Glue dots/Multi Medium Matte
Paper Trimmer/Scissors
Silver Twine
Pencil
Card Instructions:

Step 1:  Cut seven strips of various patterned paper (measuring approx.: 2cm x 9cm).
Step 2: Create seven banners.
Using a pencil mark the center of a strip. Then cut a line from the corner of the paper to the pencil mark. Repeat this on the other side and for all strips of patterned paper.
Step 3: Adhere banners to card front leaving room to stamp the sentiments.
(Card front measurements: 10cm x 14.5cm)
Corner punch the top right corner.
Stamp sentiments in dark grey ink as shown in the photo.
Step 4: Adhere ephemera (scarf and saddle) using foam tape to the alpaca.
Step 5: Add machine stitched details. (Optional)
Step 6: Using foam tape adhere the alpaca to your card front and embellish card with sequins and twine. Adhere card front to A6 card base.

Here are two more cards I created using banners as an idea within my card layout.

I love all things Llamas and Alpacas - so I absolutely love that this was a Christmas theme for the latest StickerKitten Collection Box.

Hope you enjoyed my tutorial for today!
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...

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.

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,...
