Simply Wonderful Sale-a-bration Card


Hello Everyone,

We had a bit of an incident recently when someone tried to steal our "Bender" robot and only got away with his head.  I'm pleased to report we have had him fixed.  My husband made a new head for him and I have a picture below to share with you after my card pics.

Today I'm having a play with some of the new products available for Free during Sale-a-bration just by placing an order.  I have used the Irresistibly Yours Designer Paper and the Simply Wonderful Greeting stamp set which I've combined today with By the Tide to make a masculine card.  Let me know what you think of this card.




The cardstock used is Not Quite Navy (retired), Crumb Cake and Lost Lagoon with a small amount of Whisper White used for one fish.  The Inks used were Midnight Muse (retired), Early Espresso and Crumb Cake.  I also smeared a little Illuminate ink over the fish.  The Deco Label framelits were used to cut out and mat the fish images.  Here's a closeup of the fish.




The Irrisistrably Yours papers are ideal for sponging and this particular sheet reminded me of scales.  I went with masculine colours sponging with Early Espresso and Midnight Muse (retired) on the paper.  Here is the photo of the full card.  The fish and the shell have both been fussy cut.



I'm happy with how this card turned out.  I hope you like it too.  As promised, I have a pic below of our robot "Bender".  He's new and improved and hope that no one tries to steal him again.



I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.  See you tomorrow.

    Very cool Carolyn. Really like that new DSP, it allows so many possibilities to create backgrounds. Curious about Bender? Seems like a very friendly robot! Glad he has been given another head.

      Hi Louise, yes that dsp is wonderful, endless possibilities. Bender comes from the animated TV series Futurama, made by the makers of The Simpsons.

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
