May Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

G’Day Friends,

It’s time for the Stamp ‘n Hop May Blog Hop.  This month is all about Fantastic Fun Folds which will be a lot of fun.  Be sure to follow along by clicking on the links below.

Now, I’m not sure if this fold has a name & if so, I couldn’t tell you the name.  I saw something on Pinterest a few weeks ago & now for the life of me, can’t find it again.  If you know, could you please let me know.

It is fairly easy to create, although it is a little bulky when closed.  I think if I did it again, I would certainly take a little of the bulk from inside.

Supplies

  • Hidden Creek Collection – Arden Creative Studio
  • Basic White Smooth Cardstock – Paper Rose Studio
  • All Occasions Sentiments – Paper Rose Studio
  • Mistsy Moonlight Cardstock – Stampin’ Up!

Until next time, Have a craft day – Vicky

Picket Fence Studios for The Paper Funday Challenge

G’Day Friends,

It’s time for our May challenge over at The Paper Funday Challenges.  This month we are sponsored by Altenew & Picket Fence StudiosThe twist being – Celebrate Something New.

I only have a couple of stamp sets by Picket Fence Studios including the Seashells waiting to be Found which is what I went with to create my card.

Now, I will be honest & say my card is totally different to what I started out to create.  It sort of took a steep turn once the sponging had been done.  But hey, that is what crafting is all about, right?

The Shells have been coloured with Copics while the sentiment was stamped in Navy & die cut with the matching die from the Bundle.

Don’t forget to pop over to The Paper Funday Challenge Blog to check out what the rest of the Design Team have created along with the entries.  Better still, why not play along with us this month by adding your link over on the blog.

Until next time, have a craft day.

Echoes of the Outback for Anything Goes Saturday

G’Day Friends,

I’ve used the oh so lovely Echoes of the Outback Collection to create my card today.  If you love the rich colours of the Australian bush with all it’s beautiful flowers, euclalpus, animals & patterns, then you will love this collection.

It reminds so much of my home town, minus the drought – Winton!  Mind you, in saying that, after all the rain last month, the countryside is absolutely stunning at the moment & the wildflowers will be simply gorgeous this winter.

Be sure to check out Robbie’s project.

I’ve used a mixture of the Creative Cuts & images from the papers to create my card.

Supplies

  • Echoes of the Outback Card Collection – Uniquely Creative
  • Echoes of the Outback Cardstock Bundle – Uniquely Creative
  • Basic White Smooth Cardstock – Paper Rose Studio

To view how today’s card was created, click on the image below.

Did I mention, there is now an Echoes of the Outback Card Kit for purchase.  These kits are limited, so once gone, they are gone!  This kit has been specifically created for the beginner crafter although would suit the more advanced crafter too.

Until next time – Have a crafty day!

Lavender Blu Design Team Project with Vintage Victorian Romance Digital Papers

G’Day Friends,

It’s time to share my first May Design Team project for Lavender Blu.  I’ve used the very lovely Vintage Victorian Romance Digital Kit for my card today.

It was a little hard to select the paper from this kit as they are all so lovely.  I find this is the hardest when working with papers.  Then I had to decide on a layout & what I was going to do.

If you subscribe to my Newsletter, then you would have alaready received this project, along with the PDF Tutorial on how it was created.

The paper was scunched, distressed & inked prior to being layered onto a Cherry Blossom Cardstock layer.  I distressed the edges on this layer too, along with the circles & strip along the card front.

The sentiment is from the Sketched Aster Stamp Set & was stamped in Crumb Cake Ink.

Supplies

  • Vintage Victorian Romance Digital Papers – Lavender Blu Journals
  • Cherry Blossom Cardstock – Paper Rose Studio
  • Alabaster White Cardstock – Paper Rose Studio
  • Crumb Cake Ink – Stampin’ Up!

Until next time, have a crafty day – Vicky
