Baby Duo

I has been a few days since my last post, I have been creating away but am not able to show you those yet...but in the meantime I have created these baby cards for the shop that sells my cards.

 

 

 

How adorable is this Teddy Bear  by Darkroom Door - it certainly takes the work out of making Baby Cards - a good thing when you need them quickly - as we all know, babies don't wait for anyone! LOL!

 

 

 

 

The bear is stamped onto brown card

 

 

 

 

I have used Spellbinders Lacey Circles and Classic Ovals Nestabilities, the Dies are cut using the

Grand Calibur® Machine.

 

 

 

 

The sentiment is cut out using the Fancy Framed Tags One.  The adorable bear is layered onto white card that has been embossed using the Spellbinders Elegance M-Bossabilites.

 

 

 

 

This card is for the following challenges:

Anything Goes Challenge - Animals

Papelitos Stamps - Anything Goes

Papertake Weekly - All Creatures Great and Small

Cards by Lady Anne / Monday Anything Goes Challenge - Always Anything Goes

Fine and Dandy

I had a lot of fun creating this card, after being inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest - so much to see over there and a constant source of organised inspiration - you have to love that!

We will be making this card at my Card Design Class Next week - using NinaB Designs Flower Garden set for The Craft's Meow.

 

I have added Liquid Pearls to the tips of the Dandelions and cut them out with the Spellbinders Grand Calibur and the Classic Ovals Nestabilities - the card would not be complete without the addition of at least a few Want2Scrap Pearls - love them!

This card is for the following challenges:

LOC Dotted Flight

I have something a little different today - I like to challenge myself to trying different styles and this one was a one layer card - not at all my style of preference! LOL!

I cut an oval using my Spellbinders Classic Ovals LG and used it as a mask - I love how versitile the Nestibilities are.  The Classic Ovals LG has been cut using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur

stamping the script stamp from the Layers of Color The Love Chapter clear art stamp set across the entire card base, using the Dotted Delight clear art stamp set I stamped the bird in Tuskineko StazOn in Timber Brown

Each corner has been stamped with the Layers of Color Merci Bouquet clear art stamp set and coloured using Stampin Up Chalks/Pastels and a Blender Pen - shading has also been added around the edges of the oval.

The flower is from the Flowering Gems clear art stamp set and has been popped up on a foam dot (I could not help myself! LOL)

If you are anything like me - you have a lot of digi images saved to use ONE DAY.  I decided this was the day to use at least one of them...

I could not resist this owl from The Graphics Fairy

It has been but out using the Classic Ovals LG from Spellbinders, which I have also used as a mask for sponging. I have used the Grand Calibur for cutting (of course!)  The sentiment is a Rubon!

The DP and leaf ribbon is left over from one of the Classes I teach - I am always trying to use those things that gather on my desk - but to no avail!! LOL!  I am having fun trying anyway!!

This was a quick and easy card, as much as I love adding lots of detail, it is good to be able to make something quick - I need to do it more often when my supplies for the  Boutiques that sell my cards are getting low...

LOC Nostalgic Christmas

The theme for my Card Design Class at my LSS is Christmas in August - LOL - too late for July!!   I could not go past the Layers of Color Reindeer Waltz art stamp set

I have created a Tent Card using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur and Classic Oval Lge to create the opening in the card.  The Reindeer has been stamped with Walnut Stain Distressing Ink and cut out using the Classic Scalloped Ovals Lge Nestibilitie.

I tried to keep it simple and hung the scalloped image using gold thread, running the tape over the thread down the length of the Scalloped Oval to make it more secure.

The flowers are from the Layers of Color Nature Walk art stamp set - a favourite of mine, I love these flowers as poinsettia's, they are so versatile.  I have coloured them with SU Chalks/Pastels and a Blender Pen, adding some 3D Kindy Glitz for that shimmer that is synonymous with Christmas.

The side view gives you an idea of the Tent card - it is so easy and such an effective card - I know the ladies will LOVE it.

The other card we are creating is a simple one using the Layers of Color Vintage Medallion art stencil

along with the flower from the Nature Walk art stamp set.

The first card is for the following challenges:
