Today also brings the start of our weekly challenge over at Sunny Challenges & Creations & was created by Kris. Very easy this week, so we would love to see heaps of creations posted…..
Measurements – Base Card – Whisper White – 8 1/4″ x 4 1/8″ or 21cm x 15cm – Scored in the middle & folded in half Layer 1 – Basic Black – 5 1/2″ x 3 7/8″ or 14cm x 10cm Layer 2 – Whisper White – 5 5/8″ x 3 3/4″ or 13.5cm x 9.5cm Layer 3 – Basic Black – 5 1/4″ x 2″ or 13cm x 5cm Layer 4 – Pear Pizzazz – 3″ x 3/4″ or 8cm x 2.5cm Layer 5 – Pear Pizzazz – 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ or 6.5cm x 6.5cm Layer 6 – Whisper White – 2 3/8″ x 2 3/8″ or 6cm x 6cm
I did start out to use Night of Navy & Pear Pizzaz. By the time I come to the ribbon, I realised what I had done, but by then it was too late, so I continued with it. I quiet like like the colours together. Do you ever do that? I seem to do it all the time! I did want to use more of the Pear Pizzazz Cardstock, but suddenly realised that I only had 2 small bits left to complete my card!
Envelope & Inside Card…
I run the small piece of Basic Black through the Bigshot using Embossing Folder – Vintage Wallpaper. I repeated the same for the smaller piece of Whisper White using Embossing Folder – Perfect Polka Dots. The embossed Basic Black was adhered to the embossed Whisper White with Tombow Glue, then to the larger piece of Basic Black before adhering to the Base Card – Whisper White.
I punched along one edge of the small piece of Pear Pizzazz using the Scallop Trim Border Punch, adhered a piece of Ribbon along the middle, tucked ends under, tied a bow & adhered to the card with Tombow Glue.
Close Up of Flower Image…
I inked my image with Pear Pizzazz Ink & for a little bit of a different look, I randomly applied my Basic Black SU! Marker to the inked image before stamping onto a scrap piece of Whisper White Cardstock. I again stamped the image in Pear Pizzazz Ink, stamped onto the square piece of Whisper White, adhered to the square piece of Pear Pizzaz & finally to the Base Card using Tombow Glue.
I cut around the 2-coloured stamped image & adhered to the top of the stamped image using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I applied small Basic Pearls to the centres of the flowers. I think I missed a couple, but me being me, had to fix immediately as it was annoying me!!!!!!!
Again, no sentiment. This would be the perfect card for Mother’s Day.
I really love how the flower come out & will be doing more this way. It gives such a lovely effect to your image.
Don’t forget to hop on over to see what the other girls have created, as well as our weekly guest designers. We have a new guest designer for the month of Aptil too!
Today’s card is a very simple & easy card. I’ve created this for my cousin’s shop. I find with little girls, the CAS ones are the best. Add a bit of glitter or bling & you have a winner. This card is one of my more popular designs. I am also finding I am slowly using up all my bits of current & retired DSP.

I found a new challenge blog – A La Card Monkey – the other day, as I had a heap of “stuff” on my desk & had not yet cleaned up, thought I would play along. The blog has been going for some time, but new to me. This is the card I created & suprise, suprise, I ended up being “The Princess” for the challenge. How great is that.
As part of being selected “Princess“, I, in turn am a Guest Deisgner for one of their upcoming challenges & it just happens to be this week.
This is the sketch we had to use. Part of the challenge is we had to use something which represented “Memories“. To me, happiness always brings back happy memories!
I had only just received a new stamp set the morning I was asked, so of course I had to use it.

Don’t forget, any of these layouts can be changed to include current DSP & Stamps. As it is only my Volunteer Class, I am able to use anything. Plus it is a great way of using some of my stash of DSP.
This card was created for my cousin who has requested a number of Misc Cards for her shop. It is also the card we did this arvo at the Community Centre. Mind you, I did have a number of boys cards for them to select from, as not all the ladies have granddaughters. In fact, most of them have grandsons. ?
Envelope & Inside Card…
? After seeing this week’s challenge at Late Night Stampers, this is the perfect card for that too. “It is to create a Girly Girl card,srapbook page, project, or 3D item. Make your creation as feminine as you can. Lots of frilly, ruffly, and anything else you can think of items on your card. We want these creations to ooze Girly Girl!”
To me, this sort of card screams Pink, Pink, Pink & more Pink! I kept to a very simple layout & a clean card on purpose!
Measurements – Base Card – Pretty in Pink – 11 3/4″ x 4 1/8″ or 30cm x 10.5cm – Scored in the middle & folded in half Layer 1 – Whisper White – 5 3/4″ x 4″ or 14.5cm x 10cm Layer 2 – DSP – 5 5/8″ x 3 7/8″ or 14cm x 9.5cm Layer 3 – Whisper White – 3″ x 2″ or 7.5cm x 5cm Layer 4 – Pretty in Pink – 2 7/8″ x 2 7/8″ or 7cm x 4.5cm Layer 5 – Whisper White – 2 3/4″ x 2 3/4″ or 6.5cm x 4cm
I layered the DSP onto the larger piece of Whisper White using Snail Adhesive, adhered a piece of Ribbon across the middle, tucked the ends under & tied a knot to the left hand side. The whole piece was then adhered to the Base Card – Whisper White using Snail Adhesive. ?
Close up of Ballerina….
? I stamped my image onto the smallest piece of Whisper White using Staz-On Ink & again onto a scrap of Whisper White Cardstock. I coloured the image using my Blender Pen, SU! Markers – Basic Grey, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo & So Saffron. I repeated the same for the 2nd image, except just colouring the little skirt. I cut around this skirt, added Dazzling Diamonds with a 2-Way Glue Pen & adhered to the main image with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
This whole piece was then adhered to the piece of Pretty in Pink, then to the larger piece of Whisper White & finally to the Base Card using Snail Adhesive.
I stamped the sentiment onto another piece of scrap Whisper White Cardstock with Staz-On, punched with the Modern Label & adhered to a piece of Pretty in Pink, which I had punched using the Modern Label, cut down the middle & adhered to the Whisper White, so that I had a little piece of Pretty in Pink showing at both ends.
I adhered 2 Rhinestones to either end. These were coloured with a permanent marker.

Stamp Set – Under the Big Top, Happy Moments (Retired)
This is the card I created fo rthe new challenge over at Stamping 411. As soon as I saw this sketch, I knew what I wanted to use & how it should look when I finished. I wanted to try & create a shabby chic/vintage type card. I think I have succeeded in getting the results I had in my head.
As usual the operators have provided us with all the basic measurements – all the hard work has been done for us –
Measurements – Base: 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored and folded in half at 4 1/4″ – Very Vanilla Layer 2: 4 x 5 1/4″ – Soft Suede Layer 3: 4″ x 1 1/2″ – DSP Layer 4: 2 1/2″ x 2 1/4″ – DSP Layer 5: 2 3/8″ x 2 1/8″ – Very Vanilla
I Heat Embossed my image onto the piece of Soft Suede using Versamark & Clear Embossing Powder.
Envelope & Inside Card…
I adhered the DSP to a piece of Pink Pirouette so that I didn’t have the DSP straight onto the Soft Suede & to break the colours up a little. I think it looks pretty with the little bit of Pink Pirouette showing as a small edge. I then adhered this piece to the embossed piece using Snail Adhesive.
The Ribbon was adhered across the top part of the DSP & ends tucked under. The whole piece was then adhered to the Base Card – Very Vanilla using Snail Adhesive.
Stamping the image onto the small piece using Versamark & Soft Suede Inks, I Heat Embossed it. Using my Aqua Painter, I gently coloured the images with Pink Pirouette & Wild Wasabi Inks. I nearly left the leaves clear, but after looking at it for a little time, decided to go ahead & colour them. I like the little bit of green in the card! ?
Close Up of Clear Embossing & Flowers…
? I applied Pearls to the centres of some of the flowers & adhered both pieces to the card as per the sketch. I found a couple of small Butterflies that were in my packet of Pink Pirouette already cut out, so I used them on the card. The large Butterfly was adhered with Multipurpose Glue & 2 small Pearls applied to the centre. The Butterflies had been cut using the Beatuiful Wings Embosslits Dies.
I stamped my sentiment direct onto a piece of Very Vanilla using my SU Marker – Soft Suede, punched with the Modern Label Punch, dabbed a little Pink Pirouette around the edges, adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals & adhered the small butterfly to the sentiment. I applied 3 small Pearls to the punched piece – 1 in the centre of the Butterfly & 2 to replace the “o” in the words.
Lastly, I tied a bow & applied to the card with Mini Glue Dots.
When I saw this sketch, it is very similar to a scrapbook layout I have completed for a class I have this month, which I will post once the class is finished.
With the rainy weather we are having in South East Queensland & the Sunshine Coast, this card is very appropriate, as we will all soon need the boats out to get around. I love it as it keeps the humidity down! ?
Inside…
?Our class today at Crafty Creations was to create a male card. These cards can sometimes prove the most difficult to make, but this one come together quiet easy. In fact, I was really surprised at how it all came together. I love the final result! ??
Measurements –
Base Card – Night of Navy – 8 1/4″ x 5 7/8″ or 21cm x 15cm – Scored in the middle & folded in half
Layer 1 – Whisper White – 5 3/4″ x 4″ or 14.5cm x 10cm
Layer 2 – Riding Hood Red – 3″ x 4″ or 7.5cm x 10cm

Layer 5 – Whisper White – 3 1/2″ x 3″ or 8.5cm x 7.5cm
I wanted the card to be Navy & White mostly, with just a touch of Red showing.
I adhered the DSP to the piece of Riding Hood Red leaving just a small amount of the red showing at the top. This was then adhered to the piece of Whisper White prior to adhering to the Base Card – Night of Navy using Snail Adhesive. ?
Envelope…
?I stamped the image onto Whisper White using Staz-On, allowed to dry & using my Blender Pen & SU Marker – Riding Hood Red, I coloured a little of the sails. This piece was then adhered to Riding Hood Red using Snail Adhesive, before adhering to the Base Card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I stamped my sentiment onto Whisper White using Night of Navy Ink, punched with the small Oval Punch, adhered to a punched piece of Riding Hood Red which had been punched with the Large Oval Punch & then adhered to the bottom of the card with Snail Adhesive.
I love the whole look of this card!

What a great challenge Kris has provided us with this week. Along with the sketch, we had to use the stamp set “Under the Big Top“. For those of us that attended Regionals, this is the set we received FREE!!!!!
I decided to make the card for my little cousin, Kate, who is in hospital having her tonsils out & is very angry at the Doctors for what they did to her. All she wanted was her “Mummy” & poor ol’ “Pappy” was so upset that Kate didn’t want anything to do with him!!!! Isn’t that always the way????
I used a lot of pretty colours which I thought a 4 year old would like, including colours that I have not used for so long.
Measurements – Base Card – Whisper White – 8 1/4″ x 4 1/8″ or 21cm x 10.5cm – Scored in the middled & folded in half Layer 1 – Pretty in Pink – 5 3/8″ x 3 1/2″ or 13.5cm x 9cm Layer 2 – Whisper White – 3 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ or 9cm x 4cm Layer 3 – Bashful Blue – 3 3/8″ x 1 3/8″ or 8.5cm x 3.5cm Layer 4 – Whisper White – 3 3/4″ x 1 1/2″ or 9.5cm x 4cm Layer 5 – Certainly Celery – 3 5/8″ x 1 3/8″ or 9cm x 3.5cm
I run Pretty in Pink, Bashful Blue & Certainly Celery pieces of Cardstock through the Bigshot using the Embossing Folder – Perfect Polka Dots. Pretty in Pink was adhered to the Base Card – Whisper White, Bashful Blue & Certainly Celery were both adhered to the corresponding pieces of Whisper White & adhered to Pretty in Pink using Multipurpose Glue.
I stamped the image with Staz-On onto a piece of Whisper White Cardstock twice, allowed to dry, before colouring using my Stampin’ Up! Markers & Blender Pen. I repeated again for the second image except colouring the skirt only, cut out & put aside.
I punched the image using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch, adhered to a piece of Melon Mambo Cardstock which had been punched with the 2 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch & adhered to the Base Card.
I adhered the second skirt to the top of the image with Stampin’ Dimensionals & added little dots to the scallops of the Scallop Punch with my White Gel Pen. Since the photo was taken, I also added Dazzling Diamonds to the top of the sirt with 2-Way Glue Pen. What little girl doesn’t love a bit of glitter? What big girl doesn’t????
