Envelope Card

Thanks, again, to Cambria for this fab idea! Check out her blog for instructions, they are easy to follow!
This is the cover of the card - far left.

This is the inside of the card. The flowers have been stamped in a random fashion over the pocket. Inside the pocket I cut out an envelope I made on the Cricut, & put a paper clip bookmark inside the envelope. Once again, the paper clip idea came from Cambria! Lastly, I Cuttled a piece a blue card to glue onto the back of the envelope so it isn't so flimsy.

You can make these for any occasion - make them as 'get well' cards & put a band-aid inside, with a tissue & maybe an Asprin or something! Let your imagination go wild & HAVE FUN! :-)

The writing is all over the place on here as I have not yet mastered all the tricks of how to get it RIGHT! Be patient with me! :-)

My last word for this post...be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle...

Square Scallop Card

I love the soft colours on this card! The pink card is Bazzill, I'm not sure what the blue card is, but it is slightly textured like Bazzill.

The idea for this card came from some cards I saw on Cambria's blog - I spend quite a bit of time there as she has SO many awesome cards & fun stuff! :-)

I've used my half circle punch from SU, that punch is just awesome!

I glued some ribbon across the center of the card, it's a bit hard to see but the ribbon has tiny hearts on either side of it. Very delicate & pretty!

Ok, I think that might be it for today, I have been 'doodling' around on here most of the day & it's time for dinner now! Stay safe & see you again tomorrow! :-)

"Stars"

The words on this card are from Stampendous. I stamped the words on white linen card then sponged pale blue ink around the edges. I've used a fancy corner

punch on the corners, I think it's an EK Success punch.

The butterfly is actually a photo corner, I chopped off the sticky corner bit & just stuck it to the card.

I punched out the tiny flowers & glued them on in a random fashion. I put tiny pink paper dots in the center of each flower.

I layered the words onto blue card, then finally onto the pink (Bazzill) card.

(I'm in love with Bazzill...)

Foam pocket

This is a little 'pocket' I cut out on the Cricut & then decorated with FOAM cut-outs - I used my Cuttlebug dies to cut out the foam shapes! I didn't know if it would work on foam...obviously it does! And they cut out very nicely thank you!!
I will make a bookmark to go in the pocket. I was really just experimenting with the foam, trying to think of other things besides paper & card that I could cut out! I cut the pocket at 5 inches. Now...what else can I cut with the Cuttlebug...??!

"Sunshine"!

It's the blogger! I made this to wear at a stamp class I went to - I was sick of the "Introducing..." stickers we were given to wear! I made the frame from some firm card & covered it with the yellow daisy paper. I added little gems to the center of each daisy. The sunshine stamp is from Azadi Earles & I got it from Rubber Stamp Rendezvous in Illinois when I was visiting a very dear friend of mine! (She took me to some amazing stamp shops...we had FUN!! - thank you Rosy! :-)

There is a little wooden rubber stamp hanging off this, a sunshine stencil & a cherub from an old ear -ring I think!
Ok, that really IS it for tonight, I really have to go...now!! Take care & keep stamping!

If you have a card or something you have made & want to share it with me, email it to me here!! I would love to see your treasures! :-)

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween to all my visitors!! We don't really celebrate Halloween down-under, but I DO have a few Halloween stamps! (you got to, don'tcha!)

The cat face is from Stampworld Australia. (He also looks good stamped with sunglasses...)

I liked the orange & turquoise colours on here, probably not your 'normal' Halloween colours!

The words are from Inky Antics.

A fairly simple straightforward card to make, nothing too challenging or difficult!

Ok, I am outta here for the night...see ya tomorrow! :-)

Misty Morning

I stamped these images mostly with black ink, but added a very small amount of sepia to certain area's. I like the way you can make actual "scene's" with the Stampscapes stamps. I know they aren't everyone's cup of tea, but that's what makes us each unique!
Whatever you stamp - enjoy it, enjoy yourself, that's what it's all about!

Some people have asked me if this is a photograph I've taken, & are surprised when I tell them I stamped it!

Ok, I think that's me for today!
