Happy Birthday Flip it

HI Everyone, 

A my super quick card today was made using the Sizzix Fancy frame flip it and Brackets2cut stamps from The Stamps of life. A bit of ribbon for an embellishment and the card is finished.

Have a good day.

CCEE1432 Baked goods

It is the beginning of a new month and a new hostess on CCEE Stampers. Amber has challenged us to create a card with a County Fair theme. It wasn't until I was posting this card that I read the finer details for this challenge that was that you got extra points if you used green on your card. Green is the colour (color) for the 4-H youth organization  administered by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)......Oops.... but I do have a green background so I hope that counts.
Now we don't use the term county fair but I am guessing that it is the same as our Royal Queensland Show . If you are a local you would call it the Brisbane Ekka, which just happens to start this week. There is a wide range of competitions wood-chopping, animals, produce, crafts and many more. A favourite of mine is the cake decoration entrants.
For the front I have used La La Land Crafts Chef Marci  on Designer paper DCWV sweet stack

On the inside I have used Elizabeth Craft Designs Lorna Label pop up designed by Karen Burniston and the stand up helper Happy Birthday as an embellishment.

Take care

Read between the wines

This is a card I made awhile ago and I have just realized the it needed to be blogged. I have used the Stamping Bella uptown girl , a sentiment from verses and a MFT die-namic die.

Leopard Stand up

Hi Everyone,

Today's card was a special request card, something with leopard print.

I have used Sizzix Regal Stand up die designed by Stephanie Barnard from Stamps of Life. The flower was made using the MFT die-namics Plentiful Petals and a gem stone brad. The Dies that I have used along the bottom all come in the stand up set this set contains 22 different dies.

 

On the inside I have used MFT die-namics to show case the retired Stampin up verse that I picked up at a market stall.

Glitter Butterfly

Today I cased my card from my friend Frances aka Stampowl, when we got together on Thursday, I was shown some of her Elizabeth Craft Designs samples and I just loved this layout using the word stand up helpers.

 Actually I can't even take credit for this butterfly either as it was a gift from stamping sister Colleen, although I do have the dies for it, you can follow the link to see Els's utube tutorial.

 For the inside I have used the Lucy label pop up die, the Katie label die designed by Karen Burniston and the small butterfly die used with micro fine glitter and copic pens.

I hope you like my card
Hugs

CCEE1431 Song Inspiration

Our challenge on CCEE this week is to create a card inspired by a song.
I have had an idea since I purchased this Stamping Bella stamp, it was actually inspired by the Movie - Funny Face, where Fred Astaire does sing a song of the same title to Audrey Hepburn. Of course there is the Donna Fargo or the Red Hot Chili Peppers songs with the same title, so I hope that I have met the brief this week.

All stamps are from Stamping Bella and the dies are from My Favorite Things.

Now pop on over to the CCEE Blog and look at the other designer creations, while you are there add your own creation to the link.

Cheers

Stenciled

I had so much fun using the stencil and ink the other day that I decide to play again. It wasn't until I was posting the photo that I realized that I had used the recipe for this weeks CCEE1430 challenge.

For the background I have used TCW stencil template and sponged Adirondack inks ginger and raisin. The dies are from spellbinders and all stamps are from MFT.

Have a great day

Twin Boys

Time for a fun card my Cousins daughter recently gave birth to twin boys. It has been 4 years since we have welcomed twins into the family.

For the base card I have used Sizzix Regal stand up die designed by Stephanie Barnard. The stamp set is the Fizzy Moon set New Addition.

The heart ribbon was a cream adhesive tape that I coloured with copic markers.

Have a great day

Something Special

When I found the stencil that I used for this weeks CCEE challenge I also found Tim Holtz distress stain. I remember I purchasing this at a show and a friend putting it is my hand saying you really need this, having no idea what to do with it, it went to the back of the cupboard. 

I am not sure if it was meant to be used this way but I quite like the look of the white ink on the black card it look a little like clouds, I had lots of fun using this product so maybe she was right I did need it. LOL

 I finished the card off with a MFT Die-namic flower and black ribbon.

Cheers
