Hi Stampers,

   

  Firstly i want to apologise for the quality of the photo, my phone decided it didn't want play ball and all my photos are coming out blurred !!! Hopefully i will manage to rectify this soon.

The card base is whisper white, then a real red layer and finally simply irrestible dsp ( white on white embossed 12 x 12  ) for the top layer , which i coloured with Night of navy Ink . ( all by stampin'up!) .

I cut two of the clearly besotted cityscape dies, one in white and one in hello honey by Stampin'Up!.

I stamped the superhero sentiment onto the mama elephant bold banner creative cut die in whisper white with momento tuxedo black. I also the POW image from uniko stamps onto whisper white with the tuxedo black in and fussy cut it out.

For the hero image stamped and die cut and then coloured it in using my spectrum noir alcohol markers.

Bring on the Cake !!!

Hi Stampers,

 For today's card i decided to used the cute "bring on the cake" stamp set by The Cat's Pajamas Stamp company. It turned out so cute and I have a feeling i will be using it on alot in my card projects,

I think the bunny character is adorable,I can see so many possiblities!!!

The card base is 9 x 5 1/2 , scored at 4 1/4 in Neenah solar whire cardstock, the next layer is basic black and the next is  Bristol smooth watercolour card , which I cut using the Stitched die from the Mama elephant  basic die creative cuts set.

I stamped the Image using ranger archival black as it's waterproof and ideal for watercolouring, I then coloured it using my Zig real colour brush markers and my aquapainter to blend and smooth it out.

I created the background using winnie and walters confetti stamp set, which I stamped using my SU ink pads in tempting turquoise, melon mambo, daffodil delight and crisp cantelope. For the ground i used Pear pizazz from SU and my aquapainter, to created the grass i just used my zig real colour pens. 

I added acccents using my white gel pen and clear wink of stella.

I stamped the sentiment using ranger archival black ink , adhered the layers to the cardbase and it's done...

Thanks for stopping by and see you soon.

Birthday Blueprints...........

Hi Stampers,

           Todays card project was made using  MFT's  Blueprint 26 Die set. I really enjoyed using it and have a feeling I will be using it many times more very soon, so watch this space!

 It turned out to be  a bigger card than normal, measuring  6 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches. 

 I used coastal cabana cardstock by stampinup for the main balloon and birthday dies cuts ( sadly this colour is now retired :( )  for the middle portion of the card i used Stampin'Up's whisper white card stock which i spritzed with docrafts gold spritzing spray.  I cut the Happy and the bow from whisper white also and finished of with basic black bakers tiwne by Stampin'Up!  for the balloon string and a few sequins.  I used Crumb cake cardstock by Stampin'Up! for the card base.

I used to be Stampin'Up! demonstrator , so have a vast amount of there products left over from that, some sadly now retired but where possible i will link to current products or you can contact you nearest demonstrator for a catalogue.

Thanks for stopping by and i hope to see you again soon.

Sweet Kitty birthday wishes !

Hi stampers,

 For today's card project I used the papermania 4 x 4 little meow - you are lovely clear stamp and the  Glitter tape in gold.

Card base was cut a 4 1/4 X11 , scored at 5 1/2 , I used Stampin'Up's blackberry bliss cardstock for this.

I then cut a smaller layer of Blackberry bliss ( which I had randomly placed stripes of gold washi tape onto ) using the largest of lawn fawns small stitched rectangle dies and the stitched circle die from Mama elephants sew fancy creative cuts die set. 

I backed that with some of Stampin'Up's designer series paper. For the sentiment I used the May all your dreams come true from MFT's birthday bears stamp set and Stampin'Up's word quote dies.

I coloured the kitty using my spectrum noir markers and fussy cut it out.  The tiny bow was cut using MFT's blueprints no 26 Die set in Stampin'Up's coastal cabana cardstock.

I used to be a Stampin'Up demonstrator, so a lot of my Stampin'Up products may now be retired, please contact your local demonstrator to find out, alternatively you can take a look on the Stampin'Up's  website.

MFT Have a Beary special day shaker card

Hi stampers,

 For today's card project , I decided I wanted to make a shaker card using the MFT birthday bears stamp set  and the mama elephant love quotes die

 I just love how it turned out! I used my spectrum noir markers to colour in the bears, balloons and presents. 

For the card base I used whisper white cardstock and for the layers I also used whisper white card  and  Stampin'Up's coastal cabana cardstock. Which I cut using the mama elephants basic die creative cuts.

For the shaker part I cut the aperture using the mama elephant love quotes die, to which I attached acetate I then surround the aperture area with foam tape making sure I was completely enclosed ,so all the shaker elements, sequins, seed beads etc would not escape ! 

I stamped the happy birthday sentiment onto the shaker backer and filled the shaker. I then place and adhered all the stamped coloured and cut elements onto the front of the card.

I finished of by adding texture with my white gel pen and finally adding glossy accents to the balloons and presents.

Once it was all dry I put the card together and voila the card is finished!
