HO HO MERRY CHRISTMAS

I love this image from Bugaboo Stamps because it reminds me of my own two cute kids and how happy that I am to be truly blessed to have them in my life. I would also like to thank my girlfriend Vicki for helping me work out my card design, you know what I mean… when you just go blank…. and not sure what to do, and there is a looming deadline. I’ve had my eye on this red & white striped ribbon for a while, and a friend recently gave me some so I’ve used it to add texture to the front of my card combined with the embossed layer.

Christmas Card

I used some patterned paper from Kaisercraft and the flowers on this paper are all velvet. and it feels so nice and especially perfect for a wintery style Christmas Card.  I wanted Candy Cane Ava from Bugaboo Stamps to look like a Christmas ornament hanging under the tree. I added a smile to Ava with my Copic Multi liner.

Sweet as Cherry Pie

This image reminds me of my girlfriend Tracey who makes amazing meals and especially desserts, so when I saw this image called Dotti Baking from Bugaboo Stamps I had to have it! I decided to make my own sentiment on the computer and I’m very pleased how it turned out.  I used my White Gel Pen to add tiny white dots to her dress and dimensional adhesive to really lift the pie…it’s making me hungry talking about it!  I managed to find some paper in my stash that has cherry’s and I’m committed to using what I’ve got and as I explore my stash I definitely have more than I thought! I used my button die to get the perfect colour for my buttons!

Stella on Summer Holiday 5 o’clock

This stamp reminded me straight away of my mother in law who will be 83 soon and I know she will show the whole neighborhood this card, and they will all totally love the humor!!! As soon as I saw this image at Bugaboo Stamps I knew it would get a laugh and I love how this image comes with it’s own perfect sentiment!! To add a tropical feel I used a cocktail umbrella and added some bright flowers. I used yellow as my 5% accent colour to go with the blue sky & ocean and used it on the frame of my image and added flowers that I have had in my stash for at least 5 years and finally used them.I actually have a whole drawer of flowers, and as I am a hoarder have amassed a fair few over the years and it’s time to start using them up!!! I really love this sand paper to literally bring the beach to my easel card, there is nothing like the feel of sand beneath your feet..it really makes you feel like you are on holidays!!

Rainbow Thank You Card

I chose this image from the silhouette range of images from Bugaboo stamps because I could visualize a rainbow as the background and it’s just an amazing piece of art and it was the perfect image for a rainbow theme. When I went to pick up my Copics to start colouring a rainbow I couldn't remember what order the colours went in and had to look it up. Here is the order  for a Rainbow….Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet if you are like me and not sure of the exact order. I wanted a darker background at the top  to pop the focal point forward and really frame this rainbow and used dimensional adhesive to add even more dimension. I chose a ribbon that picked up all the colours I used in my cardstock. I used Dimensional Magic to add  a 3d effect and it really made a difference especially for my hummingbird! I used my Butterfly embossing folder so it adds another natural element both on the front and the inside of my card. I made this card for my daughters hair dresser and wig lady to thank her for everything she has done and the wonderful friendship they formed.. Altogether  my daughter has used over 50 cards to thank everybody the whole cast and crew after a great show working together in Annie the Musical from Brisbane, it’s been an experience of a lifetime!

Ladybugs Birthday Card

This week I have used an image from Bugaboo Stamps and I’ve had my eye on this image for ages and couldn’t wait to start colouring it in ! It’s called Scene it-Ladybugs. There is something about the colour of a ladybug that is delightful and just so very cute! I added Glossy Accents to add some shine to my ladybugs,flower centers and butterflies. I used Sizzix Buttons #5 and die cut my buttons so they exactly match my card! I added a hit of blue to my colouring to create a sunny spring day! As you can see I made an easel card, because this year I decided to try to do more with construction style cards and projects in an effort to expand my horizons. I used hot pink knitting wool, tied off on my buttons to add some texture to my card and spotted designer paper to accentuate my lady bugs spots!

Bugaboo Stamps Stella Nursing Hospital Food Get Well Card

This week I used my new Bugaboo Stamps image called Stella Nursing- Hospital Food and it really brought a smile to my face the minute I laid eyes on her, so I knew it was the perfect card to make this week for something bright and colourful to give to my sick friend. It will be great to look at…. and she will be able to  feel the love even if I’m not there with her. I added these flowers with a set of punches I forgot I had and ran a few through my embossing folder to add some depth and texture to the flowers.

Please come and join us this week at Card Crafter’s Circle Challenge 4 and
