Indigo birthday

A quick post this Tuesday morning!

Here is another indigo background that I made using Memories Unicorn white ink and the Crafters Workshop Mini Fish Scales stencil.

The Happy die is from Winnie and Walter  as is the rest of the sentiment which is heat embossed in black.

I cut the Happy out of a patterned  and textured card stock which was part of a wedding invite!

Thanks so much for stopping by…

Have a great day!

Celebrate Everyday!

I absolutely love this sentiment from the Hero Arts  CL498 stamp set! 

It makes me happy everytime I use it! 

Today I have used it along with another  favourite stamp set from Hero Arts..Friendly flags.

I am playing two challenges today with this card... 

A Blog named Hero 'favourite hero arts stamp' challenge and the Case Study Challenge .

I started by stamping the flags onto coloured paper with Memento inks. 

I then cut them out, ran them through my Xyron sticker machine and then put them together as a bunting.

The background is Hero Arts woodblock 'Newspaper Background' stamped with memories Sand ink.

Thanks so very much for stopping by!!

Enjoy your day!

Polaroid fun!

Happy Wednesday!!!

I LOVE the nostalgia of polaroid photos, so today I have a card  today for my weekly post at
Craft Adda that indulges this nostalgia!

To make the Polaroid frame, I used my square nestabilties die on white cardstock. 

I was inspired by this blog post by writescrapbook .com.

I then cut around it to create the frame. 

I stamped the cupcakes from the Stampendous 'Hey there cupcake' stamp set  with teal zeal and summer sky ink from Memento and cut them out. 

The background is embossed with a Cuttlebug dots embossing folder. 

The background stripes are from Impression Obsession, stamped with Memories sand ink . 

I then put it all together using some double sided foam tape to add dimension.

The  fabulous sentiment is from Hero Arts.

I'm really happy about the way this card has turned out!!

Try it...its really easy!

I am entering this card for the SimonSays Stamp 'Anything Goes' challenge featuring Impression Obsession.

Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoy!

Sending love in the mail...

I struggled with the Friday Mashup Challenge this week...But then inspiration came by way of
'Nicole's Craft Nook' and this card.

Here's my card..

The stamps I have used are from the lawn Fawn 'You've got mail' stamp set. 

Inks are from Versafine (imperial Purple), Memento (lulu Lavender) and Memories(Sand).

Here is the image for the Mashup...I got inspired by the little packet of mail in the mailbox!

I hope you are inspired to play too!

I will be back later today with my post as DT for the Craft Adda Blog so stay tuned!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoy!

Beer mug birthday

I recently made this card for a cousin's birthday. 

The Beer Mug is a stamp I created when I first started papercrafting. It's a simple and fun motif and I have heat embossed it in Chestnut embossing powder before colouring it in.  

I created the background with the DesignBlocks Birthday background stamp  from Hero Arts stamped in Sand ink from Memories on a Kraft card. 

The sentiment is from Stampendous. 

The loops that are peeking out is the 'loops edger' die fro Cottage Cutz....one of my newest acquisitions!

Thanks for stopping by....

Would love to hear from you...

Enjoy!
