G’Day Friends,

Thank you for joining me.

I am sharing yet another card created with the gorgeous Coastal Bliss Card Making Kit whch was the Kit available in December 2024 from Uniquely Creative.

Be sure to check what Robbie has created by clicking HERE .

The original card is below or click HERE to see the post.

To change out today’s card for a female, add a little bling & a small bow.

This scene reminds me so much of Honiara, Solomon Islands although it could be a scene from anywhere around the world.  It looks so peaceful & tranquil.

Supplies

  • Coastal Bliss Card Making Kit – Uniquely Creative
  • Basic White Smooth Cardstock – Paper Rose Studio
  • Baby Blue Cardstock – My Stash

Rainy Weather for The Paper Funday Challenges

Published on by Vicky Wright2 Comments

G’Day Friends,

It is once again time for another Challenge over at The Paper Funday Challenges.  The twist for March is Weather Related.

As I write this, we have a Cyclone bearing down on us just off the coast which is how my card come about.  I took the inspiration off a bright umbrella & chair sitting high up on the sand dunes this morning, looking like it was about to topple over into the waves.  I thought it funny as it was about 5am with no sun, only lots of wind & rain.

I created the “raindrops” by randomly blending a Tiny Dots Stencil over a piece of Basic White Smooth Cardstock.  I wasn’t too sure how it would work, but happy with the result.

The chair & umbrella have been coloured with Copics & taken from the colours of the ones on the beach.

Copics

  • Chair – Y04, Y08
  • Umbrella – B02, B05, BV00, BV02, R81, R83

Don’t forget to head on over to The Paper Funday Challenge Blog to see what the rest of the Design Team have created along with the entries.  We would love to see what you can create, so please feel free to add your link too.

Until next time, Happy Crafting

G’Day Friends,

I have a new Collection to share with you for our Anything Goes Saturday.  This Collection is way out of my comfort zone but I love everything about it.  It’s good to get out of your comfort zone, right?

I decided to go with square cards throughout the month for this Collection.  I think they may look even more special with this type of card.

Don’t you love the colours & the butterflies?  The flowers are just so dainty too.  I can see myself creating with this Collection until the cows come home!

Sweet Shabby Easter for Lavender Blu Designs Team Project

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

Are you ready for another Design Team project?  This time Fiona from Lavender Blu Journals has released a Sweet Shabby Easter Kit, although my card isn’t really shabby.

Click HERE to shop Fiona’s Esty shop.

I decided to create with little snippets from here & there of the Kit.  I love it when I can do that.

This card is perfect for the Easter Cards we are currently creating for the Homemade Cards for Seniors Australia Group.   If you are in Australia & would like to join in, please click on the link to request to join.  Currently we are creating Easter Cards until mid-March.

I am loving the lovely soft pastel colours in this Kit – soft blues, pinks, apricots & purples.

The eggs were printed twice, with one lot being adhered straight onto the paper while the 2nd lot were popped up with Dimensional Tape.  In saying that I did add a couple of extra ones to the fold.  Can you pick them?  I repeated the same process for the flowers.

Supplies

Cardstock –

  • Basic White Smooth – Paper Rose Studio
  • Fresh Freesia – Stampin’ Up!

Until next time, Happy Crafting.
