50th Birthday

Yoohoo! :) 

.. and on the last day of the month *waves* I have a card to share with you that I created waaaay earlier in the month. 

I went with a very on-trend red, white and blue combo. I used an older Teresa Collins pad with that very combo! I love how fresh this looks with the baby blue and pops of red. Will definitely be trying this combo again.

I cut the LARGE 50 using my Cameo. I created a backdrop using an embossed die cut heart. I die cut the little 'SISTER' using a C.C Designs die and added that to another heart. I stamped a happy birthday sentiment using some Lawn Fawn alphas onto a Paper Smoochers banner. 

I kept the card pretty clean..ish and simple with open spaces.. but that didn't stop me going crazy with the froofroo. I added some Doodlebug brads, Cheeky Chelseas Fimo doodads and some sequins.

Thank you for stopping by today!! I'll be back with a nip and a punch for the first of the month tomorrow, just for you! ;) xo

Love Story

Morning guys! :) I wanted to pop in and share my most recent anniversary commission with you all. 

I created this for my boss to give her husband on their 3rd anniversary. I wanted to make something a little different to the usual froofroo stuff, as it is for a male after all.

The main part of this card was stamped using Love Story from My Favorite Things in Soft Suede ink from SU! I then added two banners, stamped with Lawn Fawn alpha stamps and hand cut. I embossed both the banner and the sentiment. As for the rest of the card I added a pop of blue with some leaves, brads and a mat underneath.

Last but not least I scattered a bunch of sequins, wooden buttons and Liquid Pearls. Thank you for stopping by today, peoples! :) xo

Some Bunny Loves You

Today. Today.. I'm excited to share this card I made for MMCS with you all.

I took HUGE inspiration from Nicol Magouirk, you can drool over her card (and the rest of her blog) HERE.

I made this scene using a bunch of stamps from a couple stamp sets, both available at My Mum's Craft Shop. It was super easy to do, and all of the fussy cutting made this super relaxing.

Paper Smooches - Metropolis

For the sky line, clouds, moon and stars

Mama Elephant - Honey Bunny

For the adorable little rabbits

I used a bunch of cardstock: green, black, grey and navy. I also used a slice of paper from Carta Bella Baby Mine Boy for a different shade of green.

I stamped a sentiment from Honey Bunny in Versafine Onyx Black ink. 

As for embellishment I sprinkled a few gold sequins through the sky and some Striped Candy Dots through the grass. Job done.

Be sure to stop by the blog throughout the week for inspiration from the AWESOME DT girls! 

Spring Flowers

Afternoon everyone! :)

Apologies for the late post.. you guys know how I roll.

You have probably all spied the new challenge over at Passion for ProMarkers this morning!

Our wonderful Marie wants us all to use PEARLS AND PINS on our projects!

Here's what I came up with using the gorgeous Spring Flower Hair from A Day for Daisies, who are sponsoring this challenge and generously offering the WINNER a $12.00 gift certificate to their store! Wowzers.

I kept this card pretty simple, as I wanted all of the focus to be on that gorgeous image (I think I need to take myself on a little shopping spree over to the A Day for Daisies online store - LOVE the style of digi). I didn't even add a sentiment as I thought that took away from the image.

I had to create a space to add a couple pins and pearls, and I thought a wedge of organza bow would work perfectly for this. I double looped the bow, poofed it up and added a couple pins to the knot. I then searched my (extensive) pearl stash and came up with this big beauty which I adhered over the knot. 

Perfect.

Thank you for stopping by so late on. I hope my card was worth the wait! :) Out. xo

Blue Wedding Challenge

Morning guys! :) Another week DONE - we can tick that one off! ;) Even better news is.. I'm off work next week. Yipppeee!! Another full crafty week ahead of me. I cannot WAIT!

I know what you're thinking.. "Boy, oh boy. Weren't you just off?!" I was. You're right.. but I gotta get my holiberries in at work before BOOM.. all the weeks are gone. I don't think I'm off again til August, so you can all rest assured that I will be grafting 'til then! ;)

Onwards.

Here's my latest WEDDING COMMISSION from a lovely lady who is slowly (I hope) becoming a regular. This is the second card she has ordered from me and from what she told me, she was super pleased with it. That's always what I like to hear - it's what I do this for. I hope the married couple love it too.

I used my Cameo to create the names for the centre piece of this card. I then created a little Paper Smooches banner to stamp the date. I fussy cut that and added it to the bottom of the card.

For a little decoration I added some My Favorite Things - Blooming Roses in shades of blue, and I die cut them using the Rose Bouquet Dies. I added the standard froofroo of sequins, pearls and doodads. 

LOVE! :) I hope you do too. Thank you for stopping by. HAPPY SUNDAY. xo
