Simon Says Stamp: Monday Blog Challenge

Hi All,

Todays card post will be entered into the Simon Says Stamp Monday Blog Challenge - Wonderful Watercolour.

a

To make this card I used some watercolour paper and peerless watercolours. I added a layer of colour onto the paper, then set it to dry. Once it had dried I then went back with a second layer of colour to create a more intense background. Once the second layer was dried I added a polka dot stencil (made with my Silhouette Cameo machine) and used a baby wipe to dab away some the colour.

Using my Silhouette Cameo Machine I cut out the work Merry in silver foil cardstock and 4 layers of white card stock to add some dimension.

Adding the word Christmas stamped onto some white cardstock and sequins this card was done!!

Lawn Fawn Black Licorice Ink Pad

Congrats to you two: Wedding Card

Hi All,

Today's card it yet another wedding card. I just can't seem to keep up with the amount of weddings happening at the moment. Its spring here in Australia...so its wedding season!!


This card is super simple. First off the base is Neenah Desert Storm 110lb cardstock. I then used some patterned paper from the Simon Says Stamp May Card Kit 2015. Using the Your Perfect Day stamp set from Stampin Up, I stamped on Whisper White Cardstock , backed on Crumb Cake cardstock, with Licorice Black ink from Lawn Fawn. With some clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh added for a little extra bling, my card was done!!

Thanks for popping by...happy crafting!!

Simon Says Stamp: Clean & Simple Christmas Blog Challenge

Hi All,



For todays card I stamped the snowmen on some white cardstock and coloured them in using my copic markers.
I then used the some distress inks on another piece of white cardstock and created a gradient background.
A little tip for the snowmen is that instead of cutting out those tiny little arms I stamped them on the background piece and layered the coloured snowman image on top. This is great as you would never know that it has been done like that and I don't have to stress about cutting all those small details out!
To finish off the card i added some Wink of Stella to all of the colour areas and some Glossy Accents to both of the buttons and the little heart!
So that's todays card. See below for a list of all items used on this card.
Have a lovely day and....happy crafting :)

Wedding Card: Stampin Up

Hi Everyone,

Todays post is inspired by Stampin Up's Your Perfect Day stamp set.

I love the simplicity of this card. There really isn't much to it!!


First I stamped the wreath & extra leaves in Pistachio Pudding Stampin Up Ink pad. I then used second generation Crisp Cantaloupe ink for the flowers (this means I inked up my stamp and then stamped on a piece of scrap paper and then onto my card. This gives a slightly lighter shade of the ink that was used)

I then used the sentiment 'Congrats to you two' from the stamp set, and stamped it in Black Licorice Lawn Fawn ink.

To finish this card I added some Pretty Pink Posh Clear 4mm & 6mm sequins.

Other Products Used

Stampin Up Whisper White Cardstock
Neenah Desert Storm 100lb Cardstock
Tombow Mono Adhesive
Stampin Dimensionals

Thanks peeps.....happy crafting :)
