Create with Connie and Mary 262

Hi Everyone,

There's a colour challenge at Create with Connie and Mary with the following selection below

Aren't these a fabulous combination.  I am loving the new colours Bermuda Bay and Smoky Slate at the moment and couldn't wait to play along with this challenge.

Here is my card using Top Notes & Lattice dies and Papillon Potpourri, Six Sided Sampler and Itty Bitty Banners stamp sets.


Yes, I've made another Easel Card, this time using the Top Notes die on my Smoky Slate card.  Papillon Potpourri Butterflies have been stamped with Black Stazon ink onto the Bermuda Bay card and punched with the Bitty Butterfly punch.  Has anyone noticed how I give this set a workout and probably use it more than any other stamp set in my vast collection.  Just love them.  This card is totally not what I had planned to make.  I was just going to use the Six Sided Sampler set and make a masculine card from all the Hexs but I see my demo friend Justin made a gorgeous and unique card of his own with the Hex Punch and some Paper Pumpkin stamps (not available in Australia) and loaded it just yesterday, so that made me change my mind and my card completely.  I really do love this colour combination and Bermuda Bay will be a favourite of mine for a long time to come, I'm sure.


I've layered a Label cut from the Apothecary Accent Framelits out of Basic Black card up with the Hex stamp and the greeting to act as the anchor for my easel to stand in the next photo.

Thanks very much for calling in to see today's card and latest challenge entry.  Feel free to leave me some comments and I love hearing what you think.

Have a great day and enjoy what's left of the weekend.

      Thank you so much Margaret. Butterflies are my favourite subject to stamp and Easel cards are my favourite type of cards to make, and I do love my lattice die.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge as I d

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Hi Everyone, I thought this weeks Just Add Ink challenge - "Just Add Blokes" was a great opportunity to get in and make a Male card .  For those of you outside Australia, "Blokes" is another name for Men. Today I'm using Mosaic Madness bundle set teamed with a greeting from Loving Thoughts stamp set.  I don't understand why, but the simplest cards seem to take me the longest.  I agonise over them, and yet I can make something much more involved quicker, when I have a clear vision in mind. I've taken the colours for this card from the colour challenge this week for Create with Connie and Mary so this card is doing double duty for both challenges. Here we are The cardstock is Berrmuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White and Smoky Slate per the colour challenge.  Here is a closer look at the Mosaics.  The Bermunda bay one is raised on dimentionals. This picture below gives you a closer look at the greeting. Thanks so much for stop
