Father's Day Note

Hello Blog Friends - here in the Southern Hemisphere we celebrate Fathers Day on the first Sunday in September....so I thought I would share a card I have created for that day.

I have used Authentique Paper - I love the colours of the Favourite Collection - they are bright and cheerful - perfect for a masculine card.

The image  is a digital image from The Graphics Fairy.

The sentiment is from SRM Stickers and the button from my stash. Want2Scrap© bling has been added -  I love to have little points of interest on a project,  I have also used Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: EZ Runner and 3D foam squares. 

This card is for the following challenges:

Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes with the option of torn edges

Steampink

I had a lot of fun creating this card - it is for Card Design Class next week.  One of the ladies asked about Steampunk and I thought I would create something along that line...

 

I have tried to keep to the 'Edwardian with a modern twist' style and used  a couple of digi images that I have.  They have been coloured using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento Markers.

All sponging has been done using  IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento - Desert Sand and Toffee and IMAGINECrafts®/Tsukineko® Sponge Daubers™.  The bling is from Want2Scrap© - 72 Count - Brown Rhinestones - Self Adhesive

I have used the  Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine

to cut the A2 Distressed Edges Spellbinders™ Nestabilities® Card Creator, Sprightly Sprockets 

 Spellbinders™ Shapeabilities and Grommet Tags Spellbinders™ Shapeabilities.  The background is embossed using the Creative Cogs Spellbinders™ 3D M-Bossabilities™ folders

 

 This card is for the following challenges: 

Inklings and Yarns - Always Anything Goes 

Penny's Paper-Crafty - Sentiment

LEJ Designs - Emboss It 

ABC Challenge - L for Lovely Lace 

By the Cute & Girly - Vintage

 Card and Scrap - Use dies

Easter Chick

I am back to share another Easter card with you, only a couple more to share which is just as well because tomorrow is Good Friday here in the Southern Hemisphere.

I have used another image from Magic Moonlight Free Images - they are just so adorable and certainly helped me get multiple cards created.

I have cut the image with the Spellbinders Labels Twenty Three Nestibilities- don't you just love the shape of this one - it was definitely a 'must have' one for me...and if you know me at all you would know that I am going to tell you that I cut the Die using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine.

The sentiment is computer generated and has been cut with the Spellbinders Ribbon Banners Shapeabilities and the used the Die as a mask before removing it - it is such an effective technique - I love it! The background paper is from way down deep in my scrap pile and has been embossed using one of the new Spellbinders M-bossabilities - called Flower Fun.   I love these folders, the embossing is so deep and the folders are double sided - you have to love that!

This card is for the following challenges:

More Than Favors Wacky Wednesday - Easter/Spring 

My Mum's Craft shop - Easter/animals

Papercraft Star - anything goes 

Paper Shelter Challenge -anything goes/ Easter 

 Penny's Paper-Crafty - Easter

Thank you for your comments and all of the support you give me - you make blogging such an amazing place to be!! Your encouragement is such a blessing for me - it makes my day!  I will be back later today with a Sneak Peek of my Spellbinders post. God bless you!

Easter Greetings

I love to create but there are those moments when I feel panic set in - one of those being this week when the local store that sells my cards needed a top up of 40 cards....Now, I know that is a good thing but it also sent my stock of  'reserves' back a bit - not a great feeling....especially when they ordered 12 Easter cards on top of that!

Once my 'panic' subsided I got out my Spellbinders Die Templates, along with the Grand Calibur and was off to a good start.  Images was the next thing - so I printed off some free digi's from the Magic Moonlight Free Images Blog and I was on my way!

I cut out this image using the Spellbinders Labels Fifteen  and the Spellbinders Grand Calibur Die Cutting Machine    

The sentiment is computer generated - I cannot believe that I do not own one stamp with Happy Easter on it, or something along that line....I need to rectify that!  The sentiment is cut using the Spellbinders Ribbon Banner Dies

Some gorgeous crochet lace and Mulberry Paper Flowers and pearls - but you knew that didn't you! LOL!

and one very quick, vintage card is finished - it doesn't get much easier than this as the Girlz in my Card Design Class are going to find out tonight as we recreate this card along with one other....
