Postage Due

Hello Everyone,

Today I have a french inspired card for you with a stamp set called Postage Due.  I'm using a combination of many products here.  When I tend to play with a new technique, like the recent Tie-dyed embossing I do a number of different backgrounds at once, trying out different stamp sets and I usually put some of them aside for later use.  It's once such piece I'm using today.  I often have many different projects on the go at once.  I get bored with making the same thing, plus I'm always looking ahead to new products or the classes I have to prep for.  I even get asked to make cards in between times, like a request for some Wedding cards I received yesterday.    Hence I chop and change.

This is the card I finished off today.


It's a gatefold design with a base of Basic Gray.  The front panels of the card have been layered with Winter Frost Paper from the Stack available in the Holiday catalogue.  The feature panel is mat with Melon Mambo card and is also Basic Gray which was stamped with versamark and heat embossed with Pool Party and Melon Mambo embossing powders with a little bit of my Frosty glitter mix added to the pink.  Have a closer look.

My Square card measures 13.5 x 27 cm in length with both sides folded in to meet in the front, then the feature panel is adhered onto the left hand side.

The greeting on this card is from the set called Sweet Essentials which was punched out with the Modern Label punch.

Thanks so much for coming to see today's card.  I'll leave you with another photo from my backyard.  Some more of our local visitors with Cooroy Mountain in the background.


Don't you think this is about as far removed as you can get from my french inspired card today.  Have a great day.

    Awesome photo of the kangas. This tie dye effect is very intriguing. I never thought of doing this with it. Very clever. Vx

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

Image
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
