Manly Monday with Nature’s Harvest

G’Day Friends,

Thanks so much for dropping by today.  It is always very much appreciated.

Can you believe how fast Mondays come round?

My card today is one I created for a challenge in a FB Group – CASE-ing Tuesday

This time it was the 2021 July-December Catalogue, P30.

I decided to try & create a male card, although it could be for male or female.

I’ve used the lovely Harvest Meadow DSP for my strips.  They were adhered to a piece of Very Vanilla & then to a Misty Moonlight Base Card.A piece of the same DSP was chopped before being adhered over the top of the strips with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The reeds were die cut with the Harvest Dies in Misty Moonlight prior to being adhered to the DSP panel.  The sentiment is from the Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set, stamped in Bumblebee Ink onto Very Vanilla, trimmed back to size & shape & adhere to the card front with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Timeless Tropical

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

To create my card I am sharing with you today is one that was created from a Sketch Layout that we had over in our Customer FB Group a little time ago.  It is a fairly easy layout but one that can have lots of different outcomes.

I started with a piece of DSP from the Pansy Petals DSP.  Yes, I am still playing with it and loving the opposite sides.

Deciding on the Timeless Tropical Stamp Set, of course I had to go for bright & tropical colours – Granny Apple Green for the fronds, Coastal Cabana for the flower & Early Espresso for the trunks & the sentiment.

While wanting to keep a clean look to the project, I decided to randomly adhered our Clear Rhinetsones to the centre of the flower & around the Basic White panel.

I think they finished the card off perfectly, don’t you?

G’Day Friends,

You may notice over the next few days a repeat of a couple of previous posts.  My blog has been updated meaning that I have lost the last few posts.

My card I am sharing with you today is one that I created for a Take 5 Challenge over in our World Card Making Group where we had to create a project with Soft Succulent Card Base, Smokey Slate Cardstock, Blending Brush, Die Cut or Stencil & the lovely Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon.

I created my card with the Plenty of Patterns Decorative Masks where I blended Soft Succulent Ink over a piece of Basic White Cardstock with Soft Succulent Ink & a Blending Brush.

This piece of cardstock was layered onto Smokey Slate prior to a piece of the lovely Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon adhered across the front & then layered onto the Soft Succulent Base Card.

The sentiment is from the Many Messages Stamp Set, stamped onto Basic White, die cut with a die from the Messages Dies & adhere to the right side of the Card Front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

To comple the card Soft Succulent In Colour Jewels were randomly adhered to the front.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Happy Stamping!

Textures & Frames #3

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

We were given a Colour Challenge over in our WCMD FB Group the other day with Coastal Cabana & Flirty Flamingo.  If you haven’t joined for our day, be sure to by clicking on the above link.

As I’ve mentioned, the fun Textures & Frames Stamp Set can be used for all sort of things – so many ideas, only 2 hands lol.

This set is FREE when you spend over $90 but only during August-September Sale-a-Bration which ends 30 September.

The “baubles” are from the Textures & Frames Stamp Set, the “string” from  the Penguin Place Stamp Set, the bow from Tidings & Trimmings Stamp Set & the sentiment from the Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set.

The background was embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder.

To complete the card I added Clear Rhinestones to the centres of the bows.

I love when I can mix & match my stamp sets to create a project.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Happy Stamping!

Textures & Frames #2

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

Today is my 2nd card with the fun Textures & Frames Stamp Set which is one of the products you can earn for free during August-September Sale-a-Bration.

I will be honest & say that after playing with this set it is now one of my favourites.  So many possibilities!

I saw this idea on Pinterest & must admit that this is exactly what the circles in the set reminded me of!  Thank you so much for your inspiration.

I was given a colour challenge to use Pool Party, Very Vanilla, Night of Navy & Cinnamon Cider which I am not a big fan of so it proved a little hard for me.  I am also not a fan of colour challenges but I played & this is the final result.   Note the minimum use of Cinnamon Cider lol.

What do you think?  Did I manage to hit the brief?

What are some of your least favourite colours  you like to create with?

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Happy Stamping!
