Masking


The white cardstock was masked (with post it notes) before stamping the Canvas background stamp. The flowers from Simply Said were overstamped on the canvas. This was a quick and easy card and fun. Something to add to scrapbook pages also.


Going Gray.....??


Going gray (well perhaps??) was the cardstock used with whisper white and versamark stamped flowers from Simply said and stems from Mixed Bouquet. The Going gray A4 cardstock has been retired also. It is so unusually useful and effective. Also Mixed Bouquet is being retired and it will be missed alot.

Rhinestones are from
KAISER scrapbook.

Bold and Bodacious


These have got to be some of my favourite colours. The flowers are inked in Cool Caribbean and Pumpkin pie. The cardstock is chocolate chip with Au Chocolat designer series paper. The stamp set is Bodacious Bouquet. Pity some of these colours won't last. The Cool caribbean is part of the in colour range and won't appear in the next catalogue. The Au Chocolat double sided paper is available until 31 March also. The swirl is stamped in Whisper white craft ink pad and the pumpkin pie half circle has been stamped with Versamark and the Canvas background.

Artfully Asian

Using the leaf stamp from the Artfully Asian set only, it has been stamped repeatedly on the side panel and coloured in black. Then stamped in white on black and coloured in white, using a circle punch to add to the card. The centre image has been coloured in Pretty in Pink. The photo, well, gives an indication of what it looks like. The canvas background stamp was lightly inked in white and stamped on the black background.

Chocolate!!!



This card uses the designer series double sided paper Au Chocolat from the Summer mini catalogue. The Mixed Bouquet rose was stamped in Basic brown ink onto Very vanilla cardstock and coloured simply with the blender pen before the ink had dried. Stay tuned to see more of this paper on cards and albums...................

Friendship Blooms




Sonya Rossetto has created these beautiful cards with the Sale-a-bration set called FRIENDSHIP BLOOMS. The cutout flowers are embossed in white on vellum which creates a wonderful effect. Bashful blue cardstock and ink were used also. Lovely!!

Coaster Mini Album







I have put a few photos of the kids, that they'd taken of each other, into this mini album using coasters for each page. It was fun and easy. The colour scheme evolved from the photos.

Stampset: Big deal Alphabet

Star!

One for the kids perhaps using the Big Deal Alphabet and a star I traced out. The colours are a little better in real life.

Cardstock & ink: True thyme, Cool Caribbean, Sage shadow

Stamp sets: Big Deal alphabet, Riveting and Polka dots and paisley

Green tree frog fun


I've just started a few kids projects. Perhaps it's because of school holidays but this card uses Pocket Fun to make a birthday card. The green frog has Crystal Effects so it's nice and slimy. Again money or a gift voucher can be slipped inside the front pocket.
Cardstock: Gable green, Not quite navy, real red
Ink: Not Quite Navy, Olive green
Stamp sets: Pocket fun, Polka dot & paisley, Canvas, Riveting
