Fab Friday #25


Hello All,

Welcome to Sunday on the Sunny Sunshine Coast, Qld.

What a gorgeous day and the most perfect weather we are having here.  If you don't know where the Sunshine Coast is, its in the state of Queensland here on the East Coast of Australia.  I have had one little catastrophe today, with the water pump leaking everywhere and I've had to turn off our water inside the house until my husband gets home from his work away.  For those of you not familiar with a water pump, it's for people who live in rural areas and are not connected to a Mains water supply.  We rely on our own supply which is pumped from a tank.


I've made today's card for the Fab Friday Sketch challenge based on the sketch below.


It's quite an easy sketch and thought it would be great to make another quick Father's Day card for next weekend.  We celebrate Father's Day here on the First Sunday in September and that will be Sept. 1.

Now for my card.  I've used the stamp set Wetlands, stamped in Early Espresso Ink onto Crumb Cake Card and used the square panel on the sketch to cut a Window with the Window Framelits.  The Early Espresso Card front has been embossed with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder and I've added a little Linen Thread and one of those Big gorgeous buttons.


The frame is cut from Always Artichoke Cardstock.  Have a look here at the inside.


One last look at the card, and thanks so much for stopping by and leaving me a comment.


Whatever is left of your weekend, make it a great one.  See you next time.

    This is such a great masculine card! I love the window on the front allowing the goose to peek through from the inside. The button and thread are perfect finishing touches. Thanks for joining us at Fab Friday!

    This is a GREAT card. I really like how you make that a "viewing window". I have a card I might use this same technique with! Lovely job with your manly card!

    I love this set, Carolyn, and you've used it so beautifully on your card. Best part of the window is how pretty the inside of the card looks too. Great job!
    Thanks for playing with us at Fab Friday.

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.

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
