Happy Birthday Girls + Just Add Ink #202

Hi Everyone,

Today my youngest daughter has a party to attend.  It's a joint 13th Birthday party for 2 girls Laura and Hayley. We've bought them similar presents and I wanted to also make them similar cards.  Although Anna was not really in favour of that idea this is what I've made.


I've combined stamps from different sets here including Perfect Pennants, Memorable Moments and Another Great Year to create these Window topped Centre Easel style cards.  The patterned paper used on the card is from the Watercolour Wonder pack.  They are essentially the same card with some mix and match of the colours.  The next photo shows the opening.


I've used cardstock of Island Indigo, Whisper White, Crisp Cantaloupe and Garden green with Window & Bitty Banner Framelits and x-large Oval , Decorative Label punch circle punches.  I've taken a picture side on so you can see how they sit.


I've also taken individual pictures of the cards below.



Happy 13th Birthday girls.

I've also decided to enter these cards into the Just Add Ink stripes challenge this week.

    Carolyn - these cards are absolutely fabulous! I totally LOVE the colours you've used (I can barely combine 2 colours - you've nailed heaps!). The perfect cards for 13 year old girls! Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink!

    I love the addition of the little cupcakes to the sentiments, Carolyn. Beautiful job with these cards, and well done on creating two distinctly individual cards with much the same supplies. Thanks for joining in the fun at Just Add Ink this week.

    Wow these cards are gorgeous - I like that you went with similar cards and pressies for the girls, I'd have done exactly the same. Loving those cupcake embellies popped up there.

    Thanks for joining the challenge at Just Add Ink.

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

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

Image
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
