Be Merry


Hello Everyone,

Are you enjoying your weekend, people?  We've just had a big thunderstorm here on the Sunshine Coast this afternoon.  Certainly helped cool things off a little and the bit of rain was welcome.  I've spent the morning shopping with the girls and other than my craft have been catching up with online friends.  It's been a pretty good and relaxing weekend for the most part.

Today I had a play with one of the new Single Stamps which arrived in my order on Friday, called Be Merry.  I love that it's a tag style stamp and it has a beautiful cursive font to it.  I've stamped in Coastal Cabana Ink onto Whisper White Card for my greeting.  My card base is Cherry Cobbler and I've embossed a layer of Coastal Cabana card with the Pretty Prints embossing folder then added some banners from card and co-ordinating Winter Frost dsp.


If you think this card is familiar, then you may be right there.  I've CASE'd my good friend Justin (JK Cards), just changing some of the colours and layout around slightly.  You can view his card here.

Here is another look at that stamped tag.


Thanks for calling in today.  Hope you're having a fantastic weekend.

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.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
