It's a Boy Thing

Hello Blog Friends - I hope you are making it through the week without too much going on.  Life nowadays is so busy we often don't have the time to make the most of moments.

I have had some Studio time and played with these robot images that have been stamped waiting for some colour for some time - I have used Imagine Crafts 'featuring' Tsukineko Memento Markers and love the result.

The robots have been fussy cut/hand cut and popped up on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L3D Foam Squares for dimension onto the A2 Distressed Edges Spellbinders® Nestabilities® Card Creator.  This has then been 'splashed' using Imagine Crafts 'featuring' Tsukineko Fireworks Sprays in Dandelion, Danube Blue, Bamboo Leaves and Summer Sky.

The sentiment is from Clear Stamps and has been stamped using Imagine Crafts 'featuring' Tsukineko VersaMagic.

The second card has the same image but coloured slightly differently and popped up on a Diecut from the A2 Modern Stationary Card Creator.  This has then been 'splashed' using Imagine Crafts 'featuring' Tsukineko Fireworks Sprays in Dandelion, Tangelo and Summer Sky.  The sentiment is from Flourishes.

These cards are for the following challenges:

Deer Oh Deer

Hello Blog Friends - it is nice to be able to sit at my desk for a little while this morning - my back is on the mend, not as quickly as I would like but slowly is better then nothing.

Today I am sharing a pair of cards I created for the first birthday of some very special twins in our family - these girls have been fostered by our nephews and are not only gorgeous but very loved and blessed to have a large family that adores them.

I have used the Deer Spellbinders® Shapeabilities® Die D-Lites™ and love how it can be used to create original little deer - depending on cardstock and the embellishing that is done.

The first deer has been adhered to white cardstock that has been embossed only using the Elegant Ovals Nestabilities® and sponged using Imagine Crafts Featuring Tsukineko Radiant Neon ink in Electric Purple.  The card base has been cut/embossed using A2 Curved Matting Basics B Nestabilities® Card Creator Dies - I love this shape card!  The sentiment on both cards us stamped using  Imagine Crafts Featuring Tsukineko  Memento in Tuxedo Black.

The second card has been cut using the A2 Valiant Honor Nestabilities® Card Creator Dies and Authentique Paper.  

 I have used  Scrapbook by Adhesives by 3L - 3D Foam Squares for dimension ,and E-Z Runner on this card, the bling is from Want2Scrap©.  All Dies have been cut/embossed using the Spellbinders® Grand Calibur® Die Cutting and Embossing Machine.

These cards are linked to the following challenges:

Gold Majesty Circle

Hello Blog Friends - today I am sharing a card that is definitely 'pretty in pink!' As a first daughter I has so much pink around me I avoided it as I got older and actually didn't start liking it again until I had my first daughter - and now it is a regular 'visitor' on my projects.

The card base has been created using the Romantic Rectangles Two Spellbinders Nestabilities and it certainly lives up ti it's name - wouldn't you agree!?  The Authentique Paper has been adhered using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner.

The Gold Majesty Circles has been cut/embossed using white card and the Grand Calibur Die Cutting and Embossing Machine and popped up on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares for dimension. The Die-cut has been sponged using Imagine Crafts 'featuring' Tsukineko Memento Luxe in Rose Bud.   This is followed by the Persian Accents Spellbinders® Shapeabilities® - cut/embossed in white cardstock and also popped up using 3D Foam Squares.  Finishing off with a white Mulberry Paper Rose.

This card is for the following challenges:
