Easy Masking with Enjoy the Rhythm

G’Day Friends,

Can you believe this is our last day of sharing Male cards with you? Where has that month gone? We do hope you have enjoyed seeing lots of inspiration and ideas for your own cards.

Now, I will be the first to admit, I don’t have a lot of masucline stamp sets, but it is amazing what you can achieve when looking at your stamp sets with new eyes & thinking “outside the box” so to speak.

Wonder what Robbie has created today? Be sure to head over to check out her card by clicking on the link.

I was gonna case a card from the Annual Catalogue but as usual changed my mind at the 11th hour & decided to play with our Decorative Masks. You can have so much fun with these things, I know I do.

The Mask is from the Artistic Decorative Masks. A little Lost Lagoon Ink was blended over the top with our Blending Brushes.

Don’t you just love Colour Combination? Pumpkin Pie, Pretty Peacock & Lost Lagoon. Colours I would not normally put together, especially tossing Pumpkin Pie into the mix but they work so well together. Why not have a play with this colour Combination yoursef?

By clicking on the link below, you are able to download a FREE PDF Tutorial. It includes the Supply List to create the card along with Measurements – A4 Imperial & Metric PLUS Letter Size.

If you live in Australia, don’t forget to use the August Host Code – NJTAWKJR – only if your order is under $250. Valid from 1 – 31 August 2023.

Stampin’ Up! Hey Chuck Bundle for Males

Published on August 15, 2023August 15, 2023 by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

A little reminder that today is the last day to subscribe to our August Stamp & Card Club as well as the Exclusive Online Class. All the details are available by clicking on the images below.

Each Sunday, Tuesday & Thursday Robbie from Creations in Paper & myself share a card with you. August is all about the males! Be sure to click on the above link to check out what she has created. It’s as much a suprise to you as it is to me.

You will be happy to know that I found my rooster from my “live” on Sunday, so instead of letting it go to waste by tossing it out – my normal parctice – I thought it the perfect opportunity to use it on today’s card.

Only parts of the image have been coloured with our Stampin’ Blends. You could always colour his body if you wanted. If you don’t have the Blends, use what you have in your “stash”.

Once again, the layout is very simple with the focus being on the Fractured Card Technique. Have you had a play with this type of card? Warning – it can be very addictive.

Download the Tutorial by clicking on the link below. It has the Supply List to create the card along with Measurements – A4 Imperial & Metric PLUS US Letter Size.

Card Candy with Zany Zoo by Stampin’ Up!

Published on May 11, 2023May 11, 2023 by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

Are you ready for another Card Candy? Much to my surprise I am really enjoying the creative side of these. I hope you are too.

During May, both Robbie & myself are sharing different ways of creating Card Candy/Embellishments for your card projects. If you are a scrapbooker, then these will suit you too as they are perfect for your pages. Don’t forget to jump on over to check out what Robbie has created.

I went straight to the Annual Catlaogue to find inspiration today. Don’t be scared to do that – ther are great for lots of ideas, tips & inspiration. I completely forgot to take a photo of the tag prior to adding it to my project!

Doesn’t that Granny Apple Green base card make it pop? I wasn’t too sure if it would be too much, but I think it does.

After chopping a small piece of the Zoo Crew DSP into 3 pieces & adhering them to a piece of Petal Pink, I think decided that maybe the Basic White layer would be too stark so I then decided to sponge Pumpkin Pie over it & randomly stamp a few of the musice notes just the same as the Tag.

The Ribbon Duo Combo Pack in this Suite Collection is really very pretty. I love the soft Petal Pink & Lemon Lime Twist contrast. Would never have thought to put the 2 colours together but they compliment each other so well.

Oh, did I mention this Bundle will be showcased in our next Online Class to Go!? All the details will be released this coming Monday.

Don’t forget to head on over to Robbie’s blog to see what she has created.

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints & Blending Brushes

Published on April 28, 2023April 28, 2023 by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

It’s time for a Create Weekly Sketch Layout! This week is all about #13 which is a very easy layout but one that can be replicated in so many ways.

I also have a different way for you to save the Layouts which makes great use of the 6 x 8 Photo Albums. Eventually they will all be converted to this way as I think it is the just another way of using our Albums. They will also have their own page! A video will be uploaded sometime this week showing you how to organise them but in the meantime, click on the one you would like –

Click on the preferred layout to download, save or print & place in a folder for future use
The coloured layout & the sample layout can be placed in the Album back to back if you like

I decided a little bit of blending would suit this layout so I went with Crumb Cake, Peacan Pie & Pretty Peacock. Not colours I would normally put together but it is always good to get out of your comfort zone.

The lovely fern leaf is from Nature’s Prints Bundle, stamped with Pretty Peacock Ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock prior to being die cut with the matching die from the Natural Prints Dies. The sentiment is from the same set but stamped with Peacan Pie Ink. To complete the card I added a small bow from Linen Thread & randomly adhered 5 x Rustic Metallic Dots to the card front.

Be sure to check out the video on how I created today’s card by clicking below. If you have trouble viewing the video, click HERE.
