You Nailed it!

 Hey!

I am playing the  Less is More Week 257 challenge with this card.

The challenge was to make a CAS card using Neutral colours.

After a little thought, I pulled out this stamp set from MFT. I used Memento Desert Sand and Brilliance coffee bean inks to stmap the images.

To create  interest, I die cut the panels using Simon Says Stamp stitched squares dies. I also punched out  a few circles and, stamped a nail image (from the stamp set) and stacked them up to create some height and make them look like nails.

I really like the way this card turned out!

I hope you like it too!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Happy birthday to you!

Hello all!

I am playing the retrosketches#196 challenge with this card today!

The pretty printed papers are by crafttangles Craft Adda and the star and guitar dies are from mft. and the pretty sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh.

The sentiment is from one of my favourite stamp sets from Hero Arts.

Perfect card for a rockstar chick??!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Watercolour Party!

Hey there!

I am playing the Simon Says stamp Wednesday' Party 'challenge as well as the 

Simon says Stamp flickr 'watercolour' challenge!

 I heat embossed the fireworks (from Stampendous)  with silver and gold for a celebratory feel!

I then watercoloured the background using my Sakura Koi watercolours. 

The sentiment is the Simon Says Stamp Absolutely edge die and stamp set.

Thank so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

50 and fabulous!

Hey everyone!

I am playing The Paper Players 'All About Numbers' challenge  today! 

I made this card for someone who loves Tiffany's, hence the colours and the box.

To get the colours right, I heat embossed a piece of card stock multiple times with aqua embossing powder. I then die cut and created the box. 

The numbers and sentiments are also heat embossed as are the stripes! This card was truly an exercise in heat embossing!!!

I created a pocket on the inside to add some cash as a gift.

 

supplies used are from...

Simon Says Stamp, Winnie and Walter and American Craft Brand Zing embossing powder.

Ribbon and pearls are from my stash.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Here is some inspiration to get you started....

To make this card I decided to use NEW stuff from my stash. Something I have never used before!

The gold glitter patterned paper is a free down load from Winnie and Walter, as are the Cheers die and the confetti cutaways.

I added some pretty pink posh sequins to add some more cheer and sparkle.

To make the shaker tag, I used NEW shaker pouches from Impression Obsession. They are just fantastic to use...so easy and simple!
I had two squares cut with Simon Says Stamp Stitched squares left over after making my Christmas cards. So I decided to use them to make a tag.
The stamps are from the Avery Elle birthday animal stamp set and the sequins are from my stash.

A baby guest book

Hello and Happy New year!

Today for my official Craft Adda blogpost,  I have a guest book that I made for a new baby.

Since we didn't know if it was going to be a boy or a girl, I decided to use a neutral colour like red and have the pages stamped in pink and blue on the inside.

 Its a simple book...I  cut some mount board to A5 size and covered it with some patterned paper.

I then created the label by printing it on the computer and cutting it down to size. I then layered it with more patterned paper and added the cute boy and girl charms to finish the cover.

To make the pages, I stamped baby motifs in pink and blue onto white cardstock. I then cut the pages to A5 size and go them bound together with the covers at my local stationery store.

We hope this inspires you to create a book of your own.
