G’Day Stampers,

Today is the 2nd day in my series of showcasing the gorgeous Sale-A-Bration Oh So Ombre DSP, Level 1.

I’ve teamed it up with the lovely Butterfly Gala Stamp Set which I haven’t used for so long.  Sometime we forget about our favourites in favour of new product.  The sentiment has been punched with the Timeless Label Punch.

Happy Stamping!

G’Day Stampers,

I saw the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches & liked the look of it so I decided to play along.  I love their challenges but it has been some time since I’ve played along.

I had the Geared Up Garage Bundle siting on desk from Friday’s class & decided I would try & see what I could create using the sketch.  I am happy with the result as I wanted the card to be suitable for male or female.

I have a couple of more cards to share with you throughout the week, so be sure to pop back.

By clicking on the link below you will be able to download a free tutorial to create your own card.  The tutorial includes both the products used & the measurements (metric & imperial).

Don’t forget to pop on over to check all the lovely creations by the team & the entries.  Thank you FMS for a great challenge.

520. Cheers to You – Geared Up Garage Bundle

Today’s card is the last of the Retiform Cards we created over a month in our Class a few weeks ago.  It is using one of the sets retiring at the end of the month.  I will miss Seaside Shore but of course SU! never seem to disappoint as there is always something to replace them by.

You can find the tutorial for the Retiform Technique by clicking on the Technique Page.  Be warned though it is very addictive & no 2 cards will ever be the same!

Until next time, Happy Stampin’

 

 

364. Hope You Day Goes Swimmingly – Seaside Shore

G’Day Stampers,

I have a simple, quick & easy card for you today.  I am trying to use up as much DSP as possible before it retires.  Along with the DSP, I am also going to try & play with stamp sets that haven’t seen ink for some time.  This means that over the next couple of months you will see lots of cards using lots of retiring product.

This card took me all of about 10 minutes once I knew what I wanted to do & how I was going to create it.  Don’t you just love this type of card.  I don’t think it needs much as the gorgeous DSP from the Color Theory Pack says it all.

By changing the colour & sentiment, it would be perfect for the males.

Until next time, Happy Stampin’

 

 

368. Just a Note…. – Crafting Forever

A couple of weeks ago I created 2 cards using the fun “Bike Ride” Bundle.  Well today I am showing you the 3rd card created using basically the same supplies, colours & layout.  The differences being I’ve used Chocolate Chip as my Base Card, Embossing Paste & Crumb Cake & Chocolate Chip Ink Re-Fills along with Sunshine Sayings for my greeting.

To achieve my “footpath”,  I added a 3 small amounts of Embossing Paste onto the Silicone Craft Sheet, added a very tiny drop of Crumb Cake & Chocolate Chip Ink Refills to 2 of the amounts but not really mixing them.

I placed the “Brick” Decorative Mask to the bottom part of a piece of Whisper White Card, applied the White Embossing Paste followed by the Crumb Cake & then the Chocolate Chip to the Mask.  I found doing it this way, I had a more of a distinctive look with the colours.

The “Happy Birthday” was stamped onto a scrap of Whisper White CS, punched with the Classic Label Punch & adhered behind the bike to look like a “flag”.

I’m finding this Bundle lots of fun with lots of ideas popping into my head as I create my cards.

Until next time, Happy Stampin’
