Carolyn's Card Creations

Hello Everyone, I am still trying to use up retiring products here at every opportunity and today is no exception.  I've used the Chalk Talk stamp set for this particular card combined with the Papillon Potpourri butterfly stamps and Moonlight paper stack.  Come and have a look. I've used cardstock of Basic Gray and Whisper White only for this card.  Inks were Hello Honey and Island Indigo.  Cutting banners out of strips of  leftover patterns is a great way to combine them and make use of them.  Here is the full view. Thanks so  much for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

Hello Everyone, Sunday is time for the Can You Case It?  Challenge and I'm playing along as a challenger rather than part of the Design team this week as its our team's week off.   Here are the challenge details. I wanted to use more of my stash of products before our new catty goes live, so I've chosen to use paper from the Back to Black designer pack and I've combined it with Butterfly Basics and Label Love stamp set. I've stamped the main Floral image from the Butterfly Basics stamp set onto Whisper white Card and cut it with the largest framelit from the Apothecary Accent set, a set which is on our retiring list and I've aded a butterfly using the Papillon Potpourri stamp set.  The Greeting comes from the Label Love stamp set and punched is punched with the matching Artisan Label punch, which are also products on our retiring list.  I;ve created Black and White borders for the patterned paper and used the Dotted ribbon border punch on the...

Hello Everyone, I have another simple card to share with you today that I made to use up some vintage paper from the Afternoon picnic retired pack.  Come and have a look. The greeting I've used comes from the Perfect Penants stamp set which has been cut out with the Banner framelits.  I've also added one of my favourite butterflies cut the with the Butterfly thinlit dies.  The cardstock used is Sahara Sand, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Wisteria Wonder and Very Vanilla. Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Have a good one.

Hello Everyone, I have just got home from a long afternoon between school pickup, doctors, x-rays then shopping.  We decided to eat dinner while we were out too and had Pizza.  The news not too good for my youngest who looks to have a slight fracture of her wrist.  No basketball for her tomorrow night, unfortunately and looks like she might miss the school competition at Caloundra next week too.  We will find out more next week. Onto today's card using the Butterfly Thinlit die and the Curly Label punch combined with the Moolight paper stack.  Come and see. The cardstock used is Lost Lagoon and Basic Black and the greeting stamped directly onto the card comes from the Butterfly basics stamp set.  Here's the full pic of the card. Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

Hi Everyone, Wednesday means its challenge time at the Paper Craft Crew once again.  We hope you will join us for this sketch challenge.  Come and have a look. Today I wanted to use another favourite set that is retiring called Blooming with Kindness.  I've teamed it with Gorgeous Grunge and the Moonlight paper stack. The cardstock I've used is Lost Lagoon, Whisper White and Daffodil Delight.  I've used the banner framelits with the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp just for you and stamped the blossom in Lost lagoon ink.    I've cut out and mat the blossom with the Label Framelits and added a little butterfly punched with the patterned paper with my Bitty Butterfly punch. We hope you will join us over at the Paper Craft Crew  with a card of your own.  You will find lots more cards to inspire your creativity there from our Design Team. Have a great day.

Hello Everyone, I've made another male birthday card today for Happy Tuesday where I've combined the From the Herd stamp set with paper from the Adventure bound stack.  This card is similar to the Design team square one I made for the Paper Craft challenge last week, however I've made it in a standard size.  Come and take a look.   I've stamped the Happy Birthday from the set onto card and cut it out with the Word Bubble framelit and cut an extra one as a mat in black. The cardstock I've used for my card is Basic Black, Basic Grey and Very Vanilla.  I've used the Woodgrain embossing folder on the Basic Gray side panel which you will see in the full pic of the card below. Thanks so much for joining me today.  Have a very happy Tuesday.

Hi Everyone, How was your Monday?  Mine always starts off early and in a rush, but then I get to hang out at Badminton for the morning and that's cool.  I enjoy my Monday mornings, just like I enjoy my coffee.  While I had the Perfect Blend stamp set out, I stamped some extra images and cut one out with a little paper piecing to create this card. I'm using up some vintage dsp called Afternoon Picnic for this card, which I've combined with cardstock of Old Olive, Very Vanilla and Wisteria Wonder.  Come and have a look. I've also used the Label and Banner Framelits to cut the panels and mats.  Here is the full view below. Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you have a great day.
