FREE Pass…

Before I get onto sharing today’s card with you, I just want to let you know that I have a FREE pass to the next round of Stampin’ Fun & Friends which begins 20 September through to 4 October.

As the theme for this round is Autumn Artistry, all you have to do is leave a comment saying why you like Autumn.

Now, I know here in OZ we are only a few days off Spring, but there is something I remember about an autumn when living in Canberra many years ago. That is all those beatuiful leaves falling off the many trees in & around the parks & gardens onto the ground & myself & my girlfriend diving into them, playing & hiding. I had never seen anything like it. The memory is still very strong in my mind!

I will be using random.org to draw the winner. Closing date is 9 September.

On with the card –

With Father’s Day coming up here in OZ, we created a card last Friday which could be used for this occasion. In fact, the card suits all occasions. I found the instructions on the very talented Connie Babbert’s site. I did change the measurememnts to suit my card & to make it smaller.

Base Card – More Mustard – 5 7/8″ x 4 1/4″ or 15cm x 10.5cm

Layer 1 – Pear Pizzazz – 5 3/4″ x 3 1/2″ or 14.5cm x 9cm

Layer 2 – DSP – 5 3/4″ x 3/4″ or 14.5cm x 2cm

Layer 3 – DSP – 5 7/8″ x 1″ or 15cm x 2.5cm

Inside Card…

?After scoring my Base Card at 4 1/2″ or 11.5cm, I adhered the wider piece of DSP down the RHS of the card – as per inside photo.

I adhered the narrower piece of DSP down the LHS of Pear Pizzazz Cardstock, stamped the image using Pear Pizzazz Ink at the top of the card & adhered to the Base Card using Snail Adhesive. I wanted the tie to look like it was hanging off a hook.

After making my Tie using DSP, I attached it to the top of the card with Snail Adhesive. I inked my sentiment in Basic Black Ink & stamped at an angle to the tie direct onto the Pear Pizzazz piece.

For my inside, I stamped the images around the edge of Whisper White Cardstock using Pear Pizzazz & adhered to the Base Card.

All in all, a really fast & very easy 5 minute card!

Supplies –

Stamp Set – Totally Tool, Short & Sweet, Cheers to You

Ink – Pear Pizzazz, Basic Black

Cardstock – Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz, More Mustard

DSP – In Colours

Accessories – Snail Adhesive

Until next time, Enjoy!

Cheers…

I think this challenge & card represent the celebrations of last night.

It is actually an Inspiration Challenge from Utah Diva International

What else could I use but the Stamp Set – Cheers to You. It was just screaming out “Cheers”

Cut Wisper White Cardstock & score in half to form base card

Cut piece of Whisper White Cardstock

Using Stamp-ma-Jig to ensure your images are stamped in a straight line, stamp 3 images onto the Cardstock
Cut larger piece of Whisper White & adhere to the image piece
Cut yet another larger piece of Whisper White & adhere to previous piece
Adhere all 3 pieces of Whisper White to base card
Using Watercolour Pencils, colour images
Stamp Sentiment down RHS of bse card using Basic Gray Ink

Result – 10 mintue card!

Please excuse my colouring in on this card, but now I like to think that some of the drinks were actually on the side a little!

Stamp Set – Cheers to You, A Word for You

Inks – Basic Gray

Cardstock – Whisper White

G’Day Stampers,

I hope you all had a great Christmas, despite the floods in Qld & the snow in parts of USA & Europe. To think that Perth has Bush Fires!

Today’s card is from the sketch over at Stamping 411 and as usual a great one to use in creating a card or project.

For my card, I used supplies from the current Summer Mini Catalogue. I cut my Cardstock – So Saffron and adhered Regal Rose to the top of it. I then cut a piece of DSP – Island Oasis – to adhere to the top of Regal Rose.

Using my Scallop Trim Punch, I punched both top & bottom of the Tempting Turquoise Cardstock and adhered a piece of So Saffron across the middle of it.

I then stamped the sentiment from “Cheers to You” in Chocolate Chip directly onto the So Saffron. Inking the branch in Old Olive from the Stamp Set “Tropical Party”, I stamped a couple of random images directly onto the So Saffron.

I inked the coconut from the same Stamp Set, coloured the umbrella & straw using my Watercolour Pencils, cut around the image & adhered over the top of the branches using SU® Stampin’ Dimensionals.
