My Little Paper World

I can't believe how fast the months are flying by! Last week an awful cold flew through the household - I'm only now feeling better and playing blog catch up with all my June blog post. This card was shared on Ink Road Stamps blog last week. Check out the original blog post - here . I decided to take Ink Road Stamps Between the Lines and create a triangle background which included making use of the stamp set to highlight and add interest to my background. This took quite a bit of time but well worth the effort - I kept it simple by adding the sentiments from Just a Number using the same colour palette.  While I had the stamp set out I decided to create another card. This time I stamped on strips of cardstock and stamped the sentiments directly on to the card. I added this to a black card base. I love the contrast in colour. The bright really pops of the card! Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Today I'm sharing a card I created using Elizabeth Craft Designs: Jungle Cuties . I've actually had this stamp set for ages (before I became a design team member...) I fell in love with it's cute critters and I previously use it to create other cards - which you can view here .  Today I'm using the little elephant stamp to create this baby card. I stamped and used the co-ordinating dies to cut out the elephants, which I then coloured using my Copic markers. The background was stamped using a stamp from the same set and I added a few stitched details and sequins to add interest to this card.  I added the sentiment from an Avery Elle stamp set which complimented these elephants - perfect for a baby card. Change the colours to pink and it could very easily be used to celebrate a baby girls arrival.  The elephants were adhered using foam tape - I do like to add dimension to a card. Thanks for stopping by for this quick card share today! Happy C...

Easter is on it’s way! After Christmas when Hot Cross Buns became available at the shops I was thrilled! I’m also a BIG chocolate eater – I love Easter and love getting a chance to challenge myself and create a few Easter themed cards with a few supplies I got from Craftie Café . I have in the past created my Easter cards based on religious themed stamps and dies, but as I’ve had kids (who are all now at the age where an Easter egg hunt is the best thing ever!) my cards now reflect this… so todays card (with video tutorial) is rather cute and was a lot of fun (messy too!) and all about the eggs…and bunnies! Here is the card: I used a combination of Lawn Fawn inks, my finger (wonderful stamping tool!) and Poppystamps die - bunny ears to create this grid layout Easter card. The sentiments are from Impression Obsession: Easter Basket - which is unfortunatlely now out of stock - but any Easter sentiment would work with this card. I took the opportunity to create a few ...

I was bummed that I didn’t get a chance to use  Ink Road Stamps – Fir Real  set before Christmas. The tree stamps are gorgeous and you should all know by now how much I love stamping patterns. I also have a huge stash of Christmas, Valentines, Easter etc. stamps that just sit in their packaging to only get used once a year…so I was determined to figure out a way to use this set! After staring at it for a bit, I realised a simple masking technique would turn those trees into a triangular geometric shape that I could work into an awesome background… Here are my cards: For more details come and check out my blog post on the Ink Road Stamps blog - here . Happy Crafting!

Back again sharing a card I created using a planner stamp I got from  Craftie  Café . The planner stamp I’ m using is Hero Arts   – Girl Talk by Kelly  Purkey   and  it’s all about encouragement and motivation. From a planner point of view it looks like something you would use on a date you had a big test, or simply going to the gym with a friendly reminder that ‘you can do it!’  But it also has a  great Supermom (American spelling)  image  and words of encouragement that could be used on a card to give to someone who might need a little motivation or a little reminder that they’re awesome  or that they’re super !    Here is the fi rst card:   As I was making this card I decided to take a few photos – so below you’ll also find some instructions as well as the supplies I used to create this card.   Step 1:  S tart stamping your background.   Note: Card front is slightly lar...
