Oh Christmas Tree

Happy Tuesday :)

Todays post is for my upcoming 'Inky Moose Christmas' Club card. They're simpler cards that you can make in bulk if need be!

I've used the new 'Festival of Trees' stamp set with coordinating punch (Don't you love it when there's a coordinating punch?!).
The background is sponged with the stars decorative mask and I adhered some of the teeny stars from the 'Confetti Star' punch on top. So simple but so sweet!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by :D

Beautiful Butterflies

I know I have been quiet on here of late but I have had several things on the go at once which doesn't leave me much time for posting. I do apologise!

Today's post is the three projects for my class next week. Aren't they pretty? I think they are.
I love the colour combination and the different elements going on and of course the butterflies remind me of Spring!

A Merry Little Postcard

Hello and happy Tuesday :)

If you follow me on Facebook you'll know that to celebrate reaching 100 LIKERS I randomly drew a name of one of my LIKERS and they would receive a custom made creation from me.
A lovely lady from Australia (Hi Carolyn! :D) was the lucky winner.
When I asked Carolyn what kind of card she'd like she said something with the new framelits so  this is what I came up with.

I can post the card now as Carolyn has received it!

Not LIKED me on Facebook yet?
No worries! Just click here.

Thanks for stopping by! :D

Wading In The Wetlands

Happy Friday all!
Last work day of the week before the weekend :)

Today's post is my last project for my 'Wonderful Wetlands' class.
I thought I had better come up with something original for this one ;).
I've used the last image (love these wading birds!) and sentiment from the set and sponged a beach scene. I added some cotton ribbon and a button tied with linen thread. It's what I'd call a clean look so the image is the primary focus. Sometimes less is more right?
I'm really happy with how it turned out :)

Thanks for stopping by my little piece of blogging world and I hope you have a great weekend planned! :D

Wonderful Wetlands

Isn't this card stunning?
I thought so when I discovered it on Michelle Zindorf's blog (Thanks Michelle for the inspiration!) and just had to include it as part of my 'Wonderful Wetlands' class.

I love the rich colours and all the texture. Just gorgeous! Now, I know my sentiment isn't centered but once the ink is down what can you do?

What's great about the 'Wetlands' stamp is that it comes with three images and three sentiments. This makes it so versatile and extra value for money (and who doesn't love that?!).

Thanks for stopping by and have a most wonderful day! :D

Simple, Sketched, Sweet

Hello all :)

It's another scorching day here and thankfully I have an air conditioning unit in my craft room otherwise it would just be too hot to ink up stamps!

In the new SU! catty there is a beautiful Hostess set called 'Simply Sketched' and it was one of the first stamp sets on my wish list. Having just acquired it I inked it up for my upcoming class. I saw this simple yet so beautiful card on Patty Bennetts site. Thanks for the inspiration Patty!
Like Patty I've used the new In Colours on my card (why mess with a good thing right?!).
The technique used to create the sponged background is called reverse masking. Isn't it lovely? Sometimes less is more and I definitely think that's the case with this card!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek and enjoy the rest of your weekend :D
