Happy Australian Day!

As Make It Crafty is Australian based I thought it would be a great idea to make a Australian Day Card. They have loads of Australian inspired stamps including this awesome Kangaroo with her little Joey in her pouch. I kept the colours on this card a little towards the earthy spectrum as I thought they would perfect with this theme and stamp and also that makes this card more gender neutral. And I also have a video showing how I colour Kangaroo & Joey and put the card together.

And by the way, for the next couple of days the australian category on the make it crafty website is 50% off!

Copic:
Kangaroo: E40, E42, E43, E44, E47, 0 (Colourless Blender)

Tiddly Inks January Release

So jumping in to my DT position with both feet at the same time, today is the release day for the new Tiddly Inks images. You got alot to choose from, and I just couldn’t choose I went with four! Four you say but we see five. Well Christy threw in a little extra challenge just in the last minutes, give Semi Sweet purple hair, and I do have an affinity for bright coloured hair (I do have bright pink myself). So instead of heading to bed I’ve been sitting up playing with my purples. Hope you enjoy my cards, and don’t forget to hop over to the Tiddly Inks Store where there are loads of new stamps to choose from. And if you want to see what the rest of my fellow DTs have come up with head over to the Tiddly Ink Blog, where you can see all of the new released stamps all coloured up.

You Are Pawesome

Hi!

When I saw this stamp set over at Simon Says Stamp I was over the moon, I’ve been looking at these cats and dogs that Kristina Werner designed for quite some time, really loving them but never taking the plunge. Until now, these where to pawsome to give up. This card are a little bit smaller than the ones I usually create, just because I found the perfect spot on the paper, so I just had to cut it to that size. Hope you like the companion video too.

Copic:
Fur: W2, W4, W6, W8
Nose & Ears: R30, R32
Ball of yarn: Y23, Y26, Y28

Snow Much Thanks

Hi!



I’ve got a lot of craft resolutions this year, things like trying out new stamps, techniques and products, taking courses to learn new ways to be creative and use the stuff I get. One part of this is to use my Simon Says Stamp card kits more than I’ve done the past months. I’ve also going to join in with more challenges, yet another way to try new things. I will also be creating more videos, instead of 1-2 videos a week, there will be at least 3, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I hope you join me this year, I think it’s going to be an awesome and creative one.

So this cards does a few of the resolutions in one. It’s based on the challenge over at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Inky backgrounds, also it uses the Simon Says Stamp January Card Kit from 2015 and I’m using my distress inks, which I am learning about in the Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry 101 class over att Online Card Classes.

Distress Inks:
Dusty Concord
Chipped Saphire
Faded Jeans
Broken China
Tumbled Glass
Evergreen Bough
Pine Needles

There is so many beautiful and cute stamps out there and I want them all!


After buying a bunch of digis I went to see if they had any challenges to play with, and wasn’t I surprised when I saw that they had a DT call.

Gorgeous Flowers Blooming just for you – Make It Crafty Blog Hop

Happy New Year! We hope you have had a wonderful time over the holidays and wish you an amazing 2015! Today we are excited to be sharing a new release of beautifully illustrated flower stamps from Make it Crafty. They are intricate and delicate with lots of detail and are the perfect choice for many occasions. These gorgeous new flowers are available in both digital and rubber and the rubber stamps also come with a hand written sentiment, which of course you could use between all the different flowers.

I got to play with the Lilies, and as it is a sympathy card I wanted it to be extra clean. So I went with white on white, but to get a little bit of colour and sparkle I used a border stamp that I embossed with some yellow gold embossing powder. I coloured the Lilies with my copic markers and then cut them out and put them on foam squares just to get a natural” shadow behind them.

You can find all the new stamps here:
