Stamp Ink Paper #21 - Rich Razzleberry Wonderland Card

Hi Everyone,

Happy Tuesday and what a wonderful day it has been for me.  Today was our Melbourne Cup, the biggest horse racing event on our Calendar of the year, and called the Race that stops a nation.  Everyone has heard of the Melbourne cup in Australia and most people would watch this race.  In fact in Melbourne they actually have a holiday for it.  For me, its a chance to frock up and go out to a function.  This year our venue was the local RSL club which was great in our heat, because it was air conditioned and they have a big screen tv for viewing.  We watched a fashion parade, and had a wonderful lunch before the race.

On to the reason for this post which is this week's challenge at Stamp Ink Paper.  Here are the details.



I have already made dozens of Christmas cards and am busily making more.  This was an easy challenge for me.  Sometimes the simpler cards turn out to be the most elegant.  Here's mine below using the Wonderland Stamp set which I've combined with the Sleigh Ride edgelits.  I love how this turned out.




The cardstock is Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White and Basic Black.  The only ink used was Rich Razzleberry with the tree image stamped twice but not inked up the second time.  The Edgelits were cut twice, once in Whisper White and again in Basic Black to create a shadow when adhered together and ever so slightly offset then that panel was raised on dimentionals on the lower edge of the card.

Here's a closer look.




Rhinestones and a Wonderland embellishment complete the card.   Please visit our Stamp Ink Paper site and see what our other designers have made for you this week.  They are so talented there is sure to be further inspiration for you there.  Can't wait to see what you create for this week's challenge.

One quick pic of me all dolled up for the Melbourne cup function.  You don't often see me this glam., lol.



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
