Case Study #36

Good afternoon,

Here is my entry to the latest Case Study #36 Challenge. The muse is Silke Ledlow. I loved everything about her card. I only decided today to enter into this challenge….and I only had 1.5 hours to make this card and post it…..and I had 3 mins to spare by the time I had finished!! Phew. Hope you like my take. The rose is from the DigiStamp Boutique from a collection called “Rose Collection”. I am also entering this card into the DigiStamp Boutique April Customer Competition. I coloured it in with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol.

Supplies:

Stamps: The DigiStamp Boutique “Rose Collection”
Ink: Printer, Versacolor cubes – Petal Pink and Opera Pink
Card: Regal Craft Card (Square textured single fold), white card
Other Supplies: Prismacolor pencils, Gamsol, stubbs, Patterned paper (not sure of the brand – but it is an Australian made cotton paper), Kaisercraft pearls – snow, Kaisercraft pink grosgrain ribbon, Jane’s Doodles button, pink DMC floss, Glossy Accents (to adhere bow), Creative Memories Circle cutters, sponge dauber, Copic marker, Happy Mother’s Day sentiment (from a scrapbooking magazine from about 10 years ago – I found it in my stash!)

Thanks for stopping by,

Marion

Zoo-Licious

I have been having fun playing with my new Recollections stamp set that arrived last week – Zoo-Licious. I am really into cute little animals/creatures designs as they make great birthday cards for kids.
These cards were so easy to make. I am still a beginner when it comes to colouring in with Copic markers, but I am improving – I think! It is also a bit challenging as I am so limited with the number of Copics that I own.

And a close up of the giraffe….with a teeny weeny little bit of Glossy Accents on his spots!! I couldn’t resist.

Supplies:

Stamps: Recollections – Zoo-Licious, Practicing Creativity sentiment – ‘You’re Dandy’
Ink: Versafine Ink – Onyx Black, Memento Ink – Tuxedo Black
Card: X-Press It Blending card
Other Supplies: Copic markers, Glossy Accents, Black felt pen, Googly eyes

So cute or what? Don’t you just love the googly eyes? I do!!

Thanks for stopping by,

Scrapbook Boutique Easter Challenge

Hi,
If you have been trying to access my blog during the last 24 hours…my apologies for it being offline – it was beyond my control – a data centre problem…but all fixed now!

This is my entry to the current Scrapbook Boutique Easter Challenge….squeezing it in before the deadline tonight!

I have never made an Easter card before….not something I would normally do, but I do love to make little tags! My hubby is away for work at the moment, but my dear friend invited me and my kiddlets to her place for the afternoon and dinner, so I just had to make each of her family a little something special to give them for Easter. It was a bit of a rush job but they turned out OK. Everyone got a little personalised tag to go on a couple of Easter eggs which I packaged up in clear bags and tied off with some ribbon. On the back of the tag I put the bible verse “If the Son sets you free, then you will be free indeed” – John 8:36. A very fitting verse for Easter I thought!

You will have to excuse the photos, but I had to snap these quickly before I had to head out the door to give them away and they weren’t the easiest of things to take decent photos of (cards are a little more straight forward!)

Supplies:

Stamps: Hero Arts ‘Flourish Background’ Cling stamp (CG119), Scrappy Cat ‘Playful Serie’ letters stamps
Ink: Versafine Ink – Onyx Black, Versacolor cubes – Atlantic, Heliotrope, Green Tea, Petal Pink, Bamboo
Card: White card
Other Supplies: Spellbinders nesties – label 4, Cuttlebug, Kaisercraft Flowers, R.E.I buttons, ribbon, clear cello bags, kitchen twine, sponge dauber

Thanks for stopping by. I have got some super cute animal cards to share with you soon…some new stamps arrived last week and I have been having soooo much fun playing with them. Until then,

Marion

Birds gift set

Good evening,

Today I have another card set to share with you – this one I am entering into the Card Sets Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

It uses the Hero Arts ‘Kiss from the Sun” set (I know I am using it AGAIN!).

There are 6 small cards – each say ‘Just a note’, but three have the bird houses and the other three have two birds on a branch. I just had to do matching envelopes as well. I made another folder to house them in – I am becoming a pro at making these and my cards wouldn’t be complete without Glossy Accents!!

Phew…lots of photos there!

Supplies:

Stamps: Hero Arts “Kiss from the Sun” (CL439), Hero Arts “Magic of Christmas” (CL 462) (branches), Anita’s docrafts – ‘Just a note’ sentiment
Ink: Versafine Ink – Onyx Black
Card: Regal Craft Card (white horizontal single fold), Purple Bazzill card (for folder), Purple spotty card (don’t know brand)
Other Supplies: Prismacolor pencils, Glossy Accents, Purple and pink gingham papers (from my scraps), hole punch, black felt pen, WRMK Corner Chomper, white ribbon

Thanks for coming by my little neck of the woods,

Marion

Happy Birthday Dino

Hi,

I have been playing around with the digi stamp ‘Eric the Dino’ from the DigiStamp Boutique again (in this case I think Eric looks very feminine – so Erica!). Having extra birthday cards around will always be put to good use sooner or later. I am entering this into the DigiStamp Boutique April customer competition.

I put Glossy Accents on the scales and her eyes and also a few spots on the banner – which is a Hero Arts Stamp from my favourite set – ‘Kiss from the Sun’.

Supplies:

Stamps: Eric Dino – Digi stamp from the DigiStamp Boutique, Hero Arts “Kiss from the Sun” (CL439)
Ink: Printer, Versafine Ink – Onyx Black
Card: Regal Craft Card (white horizontal single fold), white card
Other Supplies: Kaisercraft patterned paper (can’t find the name sorry!), Copic markers, glossy accents, kitchen twine, foam dimensionals, American Crafts black fabric covered Thickers – Doll, Weave Extras teeny tiny letter stickers – black, Creative Memories circle cutters, Prismacolor Pencils and gamsol (for light blue sky background), stubbs

Until next time,

Marion
