Less is More OLC Stripes challenge #376

Hello, my card today is for the latest  challenge over at the Less is More challenge blog.  This week is a one layer card using stripes.  I stamped this cute bunny from the  Uniquely Creative Whimsy Bunnies Stamp set and coloured it in with my Prisma pencils.  This stamp set is so cute and I'm very happy to have stumbled across this Australian Company.  You can click here to check them out for yourself.   




                                              



Thanks for looking and I'll be back on Friday with another CAS-ual Fridays challenge.

CAS-ual Fridays Rainbows and Butterflies



Hello and happy Friday!  It's time for another fun challenge over at the CAS-ual Fridays challenge blog and this we it is Rainbows and butterflies,  how fun is that!!

I stamped the flower from Mon Ami stamp set and coloured it in rainbow colours with my Prisma Pencils.
I used the coordinating die to cut it out and adhered it to my card panel with foam tape.  The butterflies are from the "Be" stamp set.  I adhered my card panel onto a top folding card base with some more foam tape.








If you would like the chance to win a $25 voucher to the CAS-ual Fridays shop, all you have to do is make a card with rainbows and butterflies and link it up on the challenge blog here.  Michele will double the prize to $50 if you use CAS-ual Fridays stamps as the main focus of your card!  Good luck!


                                    

                                        Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!

Less is More colour challenge #375

Hello and happy Sunday!  It feels like ages since I played along with Less is More so I made time today to make a card for the current Tangerine and Olive colour challenge.  When I finished my card and photographed it I thought maybe it's more red than tangerine but then I realised there are different shades of tangerine so I'm happy with that.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it! LOL

I stamped the flower from CAS-ual Fridays Mon Ami and die cut it with the co-ordinating die.  I coloured it in with some Altenew artists markers.  I must admit I haven't used my Altenew markers very much but they are so beautiful I am going to find more time to play with them.  I stamped the stem and leaves directly onto my card panel and adhered my flower with dimensionals.  I coloured some white cardstock with the same Altenew marker and cut it into two strips and adhered them directly onto a top folding card base.  The card panel was adhered with foam tape.

NEW Craft Stash Blog Hop: DAY 2





No automatic alt text available.


Hello and welcome to my blog and day 2 of our New Craft Stash Blog Hop!  May I say I felt very honoured to be invited to join these very talented designers!!


I received some happy mail on Friday from the lovely Michele of CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.  I have challenged myself to make some quick cards and I thought the Sassy Smiles stamp set would be perfect for these.  There are so many fun sentiments in this set!! (do what makes your guts grin!! LOL)

I placed the SMILE stamp into my MISTI and used three different colours of Catherine Pooler Inks, blending the colours as I went with a blending tool.  I learnt this trick from Catherine!  I stamped the sentiments underneath in Versafine Black Onyx ink, die cut the panel with a stitched frame and used some foam tape to mount onto a top folding card base.  The little hearts are from the same stamp set.

Hows that for some quick cards!











                                         Here's the stamp set I used and the CP Designs ink colours.

CAS-ual Fridays Challenge #203 Heat Embossing


No automatic alt text available.

Hello and happy Friday!  We have a heat embossing challenge over at the CAS-ual Fridays Inspiration Blog this week.
We also welcomed  8 new talented designers to our challenge blog this week so make sure you pop over and check out all the inspiration.

 I never tire of watching the magic of heat embossing.  I white heat embossed the flowers from Pretty Posies onto Bristol card stock,  coloured them with my Zig Brush Markers and die cut them with the matching Posies Fri-Dies. I stamped the sentiment from Shenanigans in Versafine Black Onyx ink and heat embossed with  sparkle embossing powder.








                              




If you would like the chance to win a $25 voucher to the CAS-ual Fridays shop, all you have to do is make a card using heat embossing and link it up on the challenge blog here.  Michele will double the prize to $50 if you use CAS-ual Fridays stamps as the main focus of your card!  Good luck!
