Month: September 2015

Hi!

Today is a start of something new, 2 Cards 1 Card Kit, this is going to be a monthly video series where I go through the simon says stamp card kit for the month and then show you how I put together two cards with it. I’ve been subscribing to the Simon Says Stamp Kit since December 2013, I love to get that little package of coordinated pattern papers, cardstock, stamp set and other bits and pieces. And since they raised the prices you also get (almost everytime) a little die to play with. I thought that these videos would be as much for you as for me, to kind of kickstart me into using the kits and get the ideas flowing.

We are slowly creeping towards October and Halloween! So there will be loads of fall and halloween projects coming up these coming weeks. Today I’m doing a one layer card, a true one layer one as I coloured on the card base, an all because I just needed to enter the challenge over at Lawnscapeing Challenges, it’s a bi-weekly challenge and this time it’s “One Layer Card”.

I have totally fallen in love with lawn fawn, and you will be seeing even more cards from me coming up with these cute characters.

Todays card is for the Little Miss Muffet Challenge, it’s bi-weekly and this time it’s bingo! So come and play, I had so much fun putting this card together. The line on the bingo board I choose had the Little Miss Muffet image, dies and pattern pappers. I chosen to use Polka Dot Pals Danielle because I thought she would work awesomely with the fall/thanks giving papers that I chosen, also I have been digging through in my Simon Says Stamp card kit after that cute and adorable coffee cup die. But it was worth the digging, I really like the end result so I hope you will too.

Hi!

This card was inspired by the tree trunk in the stamp set, I knew I just needed to do something with it, and I knew I wanted it to be “naturally” cut off. When looking through my dies I decided that the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangles would be perfect. Then it just came together, love when cards just come together.

Have you seen these adorable trains over at the Little Miss Muffet Stamps Store? I just feel in love with the locomotive with all those adorable little bats flying out of the chimney. This was one of the most detailed cutting I’ve done in some time, but I really loved it! I have had this idea in my head since I saw the stamp and I just knew I had to try to get it working. Like this it can be used as a decoration for a wonderful halloween table or on the mantel.

So after making that little clean and simple card yesterday (which I posted this morning), I went over to Lawn Fawns blog and found out that they have a challenge (only open for a couple of more hours when I’m writing this). The challenge is texture, and the wheels in my head started spinning so fast. I knew that I just needed to make a remake of that card, and personally I think this one turned out much better. I actually livestreamed this one on Periscope, which is a new livestreaming app on ios and android, my username there is mispasttimes. You can find that livestream there for the next 24h, but you can also find it at katch.me/mispasttimes, it’s only about 13 min, that’s how fast this card came together.
