Cards For Today

Here are a few cards I made this week. The paper flowers on some of them were made using the Cuttlebug Quilling dies, great fun!
The Halloween one was made using a spellbinder die (circle) and I sponged the circle with a yellow stamp pad then stamped the face (SU sponge stamp set). I coloured the cat with copics, and the mouse. This card was alot of fun to make!
Thanks for visiting, have a great weekend! {{HUGS}} from me to you:-)

Spring Is Here!

And not only in my garden! The bright orange flower (Ice Plant) is one of the flowers in my garden & the other flowers are some paper ones I have recently made, using the Cuttlebug Quilling dies. Lot's of fun!
We are having another wet weekend here:-( so I'm using the time to sit at my desk and create!

A Whole Bunch of Cards!

Ok, so here are the cards I made about 2 1/2 weeks ago but never got round to uploading until now. This "book" card has 2 layers of pages. Hard to see on here.

The little paper butterflies on some of the cards were made using a die from Kalsbeek, it cuts out 3 different sizes & you just fold them in the middle to form the butterflies. They are SO easy to make:-) The Santa stamps with the swinging stars is from Rubbadubbadoo. So is the book stamp. The first card on here is made using the Dahlia nestabilities - so much fun! The center of the card was emmbossed with these new irridescent embossing powders. Not sure what they're called but will blog it later if I find out! Thanks for visiting today, enjoy your weekend:-)

"Jewels" # 2

Here is yet another card I made using "Hippy Girl Jewels"! This time I used the Labels Four nesties - I just loooooove these!! They remind me of an antique mirror!

The flower gem in her hair is pink but is showing up as silver. I used some paper flowers & some tiny nail gems (for your fingernails) that I found somewhere. Because the nestie shapes were a bit wider than the burgundy card, I added a piece of embossed card to the side. (Did the same on the inside of the card.) I used my cuttlebug folders to emboss them. (Flower strips) As per usual (for me!) I added Kindy Glitz to parts of the image! Oh yes, & around the edges of the nesties. Can't wait to use these nesties again! Thanks to Rebecca Bodini (Bizzy Becs) for the inspiration!!:-) Thanks for visiting & I hope everyone has a great weekend. It's gong to be a wet one here in Titirangi - perfect for stamping?!! See ya..

"Jewels"

Oh my gosh..I made a card!! The stamp is called "Hippy Girl Jewels" & she is from Bizzy Becs.

The card was inspired by Bec herself, I saw a similar coloured card she had made & it got me inspired!

I used my Mega Curved Nesties for the three layers of card. After stamping the image I sponged the background with a pale lilac stamp pad. The image is coloured with my Copics. I added stick on pearls & a heart shaped eyelet for her belt buckle! The gold swirls on the corners are made with an EK Success punch. (Wave Flourish I think?!) I coloured some paper flowers with my Copics to get the colours I wanted & added a star shaped eyelet to the center then stuck them to the card. I also drew some white & pink dotted lines around the 3 nestie shapes. I used a folded pale lilac card for the background card. I added white dots on "Jewels" eyes to make them show up more. The last thing I added was some Kindy glitz...can't make a card without that stuff!! Phew, I think that is all I did...except stand back & admire it for ten minutes & have a cup of well earned tea!! Thanks for visiting!

Lazy Daisy

This is a Hero Arts stamp, "Flower Wood Background". I stamped it with an Opalite stamp pad (can't remember which colour) & then sprinkled it with different colours of Interference powders. I know whis stamp says it is a "wood" background, but to me it could easily be water!

I used my scallop nesties for the pink circle & added two star shaped eyelets.

The cream coloured background card has lines embossed across it.

My Sunshine

This butterfly stamp is from Inkadinkado. I stamped it then used a scallop nestie to cut out the circle shape. I used gel pens to colour it. I stamped it again on scrap card & cut out one butterfly, coloured it & stuck it on top of the card so the wings stand out. (Pink b/fly top right) Hard to see on here.

This is a nice delicate sort of stamp that could be used for all kinds of occasions. I had fun with it!

Not sure who the words are by. I stamped pale blue leaves all over the blue card before I stuck the circle to the card.

Lilac Flowers

I used my new cuttlebug folder to emboss this silver card. The card didn't need much added to it so I just glued 3 paper flowers to it. The card looks blue but IRL it is silver! A sort of sparkly silver. I also added some tiny pearls to the center of each flower.

Star Girl

This stamp is from River City Rubber Works - Global Solutions. I used my wavy cutter for the lilac hill & some flower punches. I added gems to the centers of the flowers. I made these cards last week but just never got round to posting them! Thanks for visiting!

Some Bunny Loves You!

...another quick & easy card using my wavy cutter from Creating Memories. I forgot to colour the bunny before I scanned this, so I will now go & lightly colour him in a beige colour!

More Flower Power!

The words in these cards (with the girl pointing to the star) say, "Star light star bright first star I see tonight, I wish I may I wish I might have the wish I wish tonight." I hand wrote the words & had it made into a stamp. It is stamped in a pale pink & would not show up when I scanned it.

I used my wavy cutter for the pink hill. I used various daisy punches to make the flowers. Each daisy has a tiny gem in the center.

Floating Daisies

This bunny stamp was from the cheap bin at Spotlight!
I used my wavy cutter for the green hill. I added a tiny white pom pom to his tail to give him some depth & character!
Another fun card to make, & quick & easy!

Best Friends

"Make A Wish" is from Stampendous & the friends are from "Artee". I used my wavy cutter to make the black wavy hill & stamped the people FIRST, then placed the wavy hill so their feet were standing on top of the hill. I added some punched out flowers & a tiny bit of colour to the card. Easy peasy!

Girl Pointing At A Star

This stamp is from River City Rubber Works. I used my wavy cutter thing to make the grass & layered it on a pink card then finally onto a white card. I punched out various size/colour daisies & added them to the card. The girls dress was re-stamped onto some scrap card then cut out & stuck to her dress. I also run it through my swiss dots embossing folder!

Forgive any spelling mistakes in these posts because my reading glasses have just fallen to bits on me...again!! The nose pad just fell off & I am having to glue it back on! It better work! Thanks for visiting & I hope you have a great weekend!

Flowers

I used my cuttlebug dies to make the flowers & the vase is a Stampendous stamp which I stamped & then cut out. I added stick on pearls to the center of the flowers. The tiny pink bee is from the flower die set.

I used my scorpal to score the criss cross backgorund.

In The Pink

I used some pink shimmer sheetz for this card - that coloured mylar stuff. I used my Friends Forever cb embossing folder to emboss it. This stuff embosses really well! I layered it onto a pink card & punched the corners using one of my fancy punches. Then I layered it onto a dark wine coloured card & it was done!

I didn't add any embellishments to it because the mylar is enough glitz, I think!

A quick & easy card to make! The hardest part was deciding what cloured mylar to use & which folder to emboss it with! That took me 10 minutes & a cup of tea!

Have a good weekend & thanks for visiting!

Yellow Flowers For YOU!

It was a simple case of stamp, sponge & swirl for this card! SO easy! I stamped the flower (Hero Arts) in black Impress ink. Then I inked up a sponge with yellow ink & carefully dabbed it on the flower, then I swished the sponge in circles & it was done! You don't want too much ink on the sponge, it's easier to add more than try & get rid of too much!

This was only going to be a "let's-try-it-out- and-see-what-happens" test card, but it came out good enough to make a card with! I stamped the leaves in green (Tea Leaves) ink randomly. I lastly added some orange & lime ribbon (it's really bright in reality!) 2 yellow brads, a couple of white daisies & it was done! Oh yes, I also layered the daisies onto black card, then onto the yellow card. All the colours are nice & bright..in reality! You gotta believe me!

Hope you had a great weekend & thanks for visiting! Heart hugs from Sunshine!

Flower Girl

I don't know what company made this stamp, it was an un-mounted one given to me some years ago. But isn't she cute! I used my meaga rectangle nesties for the white card. I made some paper flowers with my cb dies & added pale pink flowers to the centers, with a stick on pearl. I coloured her using a mixture of copics & water colour crayons. The colouring in is not my best effort as I did this before I had my reading glasses back! I was desperate to colour it so I had a go!

Pearls & Flowers

I used my forest branches eb folder on one side of this card. Using my mega rectangle nesties I cut out the pink & white rectangles.

I made two cream coloured paper flowers using my cb flower dies & added a pale pink paper flower on top & lastly stuck a stick on pearl to the center of each flower. That was it! Another quick card!

Flowery Wishes

This was the first one of these cards I made, & liked it so much I just carried on making them! Hey, I was on a roll! The flowers are from a cuttlebug die & I embossed the card (pink) first, using my swiss dots folder. I stamped the leaves on one side of the card & embossed with my Hearts folder on the other side. I then layered it onto the pink card. Easy & quick cards to make :-)
