Quick SAB card

Card: confetti white, basic black, whisper white
Ink: real read, basic black,
Stamp set: fresh vintage
Accessories: 1.4" basic black grosgrain ribbon, rhinestone, 3/4" circle punch

Another quick, clean card using the fresh vintage SAB stamp set (free when you spend $120!). I have stamped the flower and border images in real read, stamped the little flower on wisper white and punched it out, with real red sponging. The rhinestone and bow create a little texture for a "everyday" card. I'm enjoying using confetti white at the moment - it give a beautiful textured and flecked look to any project. Enjoy!

To market, to market

Card: melon mambo, chocolate chip, old olive, whisper white
Ink: chocolate chip, old olive
Stamp set: delicate doilies
Accessories: beautiful wings embosslit, big shot, white bakers twine, melon mambo button (ice cream parlour), rhinestone, sponge

On the 1st April, I will be selling at Craftea, a local craft market. This is one notebook I have done up to sell at the market, but I am slowly building up my stock... I have plenty of cards now, thanks to my project of posting a project every day for a year :-)

Here, I have used the masking technique that I have used for a few different project lately. I just love the torn look without the bulk of a layer of card. I have added butterflies, one with a rhinestone, and the big one with a button and bakers twine to create the 'feelers'. Not the colour combo I would have chosen, but I have used my colour coach to help me along, and it's growing on me :-)

Try Stampin' on Tuesday - 55

Card: crumb cake, soft suede, very vanilla, confetti white
Ink: soft suede
Stamp set(s): fresh vintage, french foilage

Accessories: beautiful wings embosslit, linen thread, very vanilla velvet ribbon

Over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday, they challenged us with a sketch this week. This was my take and I love, love, love this card! Subtle textures, soft coloures to give a vintage, worn look that is also whimsy and elegant.

I have layered soft suede, confetti white, and very vanilla with some stamping on the crumb cake. I have torn the very vanilla on one corner and stamped on the confetti white underneath. I have stamped a number of french foilage stamps at the edges, with the Sale-a-bration stamp from fresh vintage as the focal point (free when you spend $120!!). I have sponged all the edges in soft suede. The inside panel has been stamped at two corners and sponged.

JAI Challenge 107 - Just Add Nikki Spencer

Card: poppy parade, pool party, wisteria wonder, whisper white
Ink: poppy parade, pool party, wisteria wonder, lucky limeade
Stamp set(s): fresh vintage, so happy for you
Accessories: paper vellum, silver brads, rhinestones, beautiful embosslit, big shot, sponge, circle punch

This week's challenge over at JAI was Just Add Nikki Spencer! I chose a recent project Nikki has blogged here and CASEd it for this challenge. Very fun! I've used a circle punch and punched a post-it note to mask off the circle in the middle, then stamped and sponged it to bring out the circle a little more. I have added a sentiment on paper vellum and attached it with two brads. I'm pretty happy with the results! Oh, and I have again used one of the SAB (Sale-a-bration) stamp sets - free with an order of $120!

Torn birthday

Card: poppy parade, calypso coral
Ink: poppy parade, calypso coral
Stamp set (s): fresh vintage, well scripted

Accessories: calypso coral ruffled ribbon

Another quick and easy project today... Similar to this one. Loving the colour combo and the new Sale-a-bration stamp set - Fresh vintage (yours for free when you spend $120!). I created my artwork by tearing up printing paper, masking off the top and bottom of the panel. I sponged calypso coral, then stamped with both calypso coral and poppy parade. I added a sentiment and bow. The inside panel was stamped on two opposite corners in calypso coral and poppy parade. Love how this has come up!

Leaving gift

Card: riding hood red, cherry cobbler, whisper white
Ink: cherry cobbler
Stamp set(s): just believe, so many thanks
Accessories: riding hood red taffata ribbon, rhinstones, scallop circle punch

My sister wanted a little gift to give a work-make who was leaving today. So, this easal card was in her card tin I give her at christmas, and I co-ordinated the stamped candle and wrapped it up all nice for her. That's what I love about the Stampin Up! products - they are masters at co-ordinating everything and it makes creating these sorts of gifts a breeze!

Simple fresh vintage

Card: whisper white
Ink: cherry cobbler, early expresso
Stamp set(s): fresh vintage, well scripted

Accessories: cherry cobbler scallop ribbon

Happy first of March!! I needed a very quick and simple project to post today... And this one I found online met my needs! Love the simplicity, the colours and the design. I meant to use dimensionals on the main panel, but I had already put on tape before I realised...doh! I may do another one for my stash, and I'll be using dimensionals to give the project a little more dimension and texture.

I have used one of the Sale-a-Bration stamp sets (yours if you spend $120, not including shipping before the end of March!), and the gorgeous scallop ribbon. The card was crying out for some colour inside, so I decided to stamp the flower in one corner. Beautiful!
