Hello

I hope you are having a lovely Sunday or Saturday depending on where in the world your are :)

Have you seen the latest Paper Crafts 'Die Cutting for Paper Crafters' magazine? Our very own Angeline is featured in this issue - a lot!  She is amazing :) Today she is sharing another example with this fabulous tag using the 'Tropical Leaf' die cut from Memory Box.

 Angeline

I have a very sweet card from Iwona today who used this lovely silhouette image 'Dancing with Flowers' from Hero Arts. I am really loving the pink and grey colour scheme.

 Iwona

Ange is taking a wee break this weekend.

For my card I combined the yummy ice cream stamp from 'How Sweet' by Jane's Doodles with the mad scientist (that's how I think of him), from 'Great Chemistry' by Paper Smooches. The fun sentiment I found on line - it is a kid's quote I believe.

Thanks so much for stopping by :)

Hello

I back today sharing another display of wonderful cards from the Jay Gee's Nook Design Team :)

Ange made this beautiful one layer card using 'Antique Blooms and Butterflies' from Hero Arts. The fun thing about this set is that it comes with it's own dies!

 Ange

And a couple of gorgeous tags...

First Iwona has used 'Chloe Stem' from Memory Box and some fun splatter to create this wonderful tag.

 Iwona

And this one from Angeline using 'Tropical Leaf', also from Memory Box. Both tags use the negative space brilliantly.

 Angeline

I love combing stamp sets from the same company and also mixing sets up from different companies - makes your stamps go so much further. For my card today I have used Paper Smooches 'Pretty Phrases' for my sentiment and 'Chubby Chums' for my little dog. The santa hat comes from Jane's Doodles, 'It's The Season' set.

I'm off to watch a movie - hope you are having a relaxing weekend.

Hello, hello... how are you all today?

I am in a good mood, because I just started two weeks holiday - yay me! I have heaps and heaps of work around the house that needs doing, but I am hoping to slip away every now and then to make some cards :)

I have some fun cards to share with you today.

Angeline makes the most stunning cards using dies - here she has used the 'Prim Poppy' die from Memory Box.

 Angeline

Ange's fabulons création could easily be used as either a masculine or feminine card. The images and sentiment come from 'Old Fashioned Afternoon' by Sweet Stamp Shop.

 Ange

I love this Christmas card from Iwona - look at that adorable bow!, such a fun little addition. This stamp is called 'Ivy Wreath' and it is from Hero Arts.

 Iwona

I made a cute little card today using some new goodies from the shop :) The tree and grass are both dies from C.C. Designs. The cute owl image is called 'Birthday Owl' and is from Lil' Inker Designs - there 2 Cute Ink line of stamps.

Well I sure hope you have a fun weekend planned with lots of crafty time :) Thanks so much for stopping by.

It's A Beautiful Day!

The sun is shinning, there is a cool breeze blowing and it's Sunday - absolutely perfect :)

I am just popping in here to share Jay Gee's Nook Design team cards.

And to match the gorgeous Spring weather is this gorgeous card from Iwona (happy coincidence). This sweet girl is 'Sweet Thinkin' Mae' from Some Odd Girl.

Iwona

 How fun is this Teacher card from Ange! I love the framed sentiment and the gorgeous gingham. Ange has used 'School's Out' from Sweet Stamp Shop.

 Ange

Angeline has created yet another stunning project using Memory Box dies. This is so dramatic with the red and I love how she created the shadow under the flowers.

Angeline

For my card I used this gorgeous rose bud from the new Jane's Doodles set 'Roses'. It is coloured with Prismas and then I covered the bud with glossy accents - you can't really see it in the photo, but it looks great IRL :) The banner is from Purple Onion Designs.

Well, I hope you enjoy your weekend.

Congratulations Lauren. Please email me with your address and I will pop a little something in the mail for you. 

Angeline is so good at creating focal points on her cards. Here she has masked a circle and used the woodgrain stamp from 'Grunge' by Skipping Stones Designs. She then layered die cuts 'chloe stem' from Memory Box and these adorable bird dies from 'Folk Art Florals' by Wplus9.

Angeline

Ange has a wonderful CAS card using dies. She has also used 'Folk Art Floral' dies from Wplus9 and combined it with 'fresh cut grass' die from MFT. The sponged clouds in the background are beautifully done.

 Ange

I love the way Iwona has coloured these adorable air balloons from 'Old Fashioned Afternoon' by Sweet Stamp Shop - another fabulous CAS card.

 Iwona

I have used this adorable image from 'Funny Bunnies' by Lil' Inker Designs for my baby card - coloured with copics. I have also used 'Fishtail Banner' dies from MFT.

Thanks so much for stopping by :)

Hello

Are you having a lovely weekend? Mine is very quiet, but that's just what I needed after a busy week at work :)

I have some fabulous cards to share with you today. Ange has gone girly and bright with this gorgeous birthday card. I love this colour combo and isn't her colouring amazing! This very sweet image is 'Balloon Kaylee' from Some Odd Girl.

 Ange

Wow, Angeline just has such a fabulous clean style and all her cards are just gorgeous! This is such a clever use of the 'Chloe stem' die from Memory Box.

 Angeline

I have a friend who just got a new puppy, so I thought I would make a tag to go onto a bag of dog food I got as a 'welcome' present. The tag is a die from MFT - 'Tag - You're it'. The little puppy is stamped on patterned paper and it and the sentiment are from 'Buddie-Bee' by the Sweet Stamp Shop. To finish it off I added twine from The Twinery.

It's hard to tell in the first photo, but the puppy was pieced and lifted with dimensional foam.

Well, I am going to be having a busy time on the blog this week, starting tomorrow, so I hope you will pop back and have a look.

Thanks for stopping by:)

Hi there.


Before I show you todays cards, I wanted to remind you about our current challenge - you can click the  photo to be taken to the original post. There are still 6 days left to play along and we have had some really gorgeous entries so far :)

Angeline is still on holidays this week and I am sure she is having lots of fun!


I just adore the latest release of Purple Onion Designs stamps by Stacey Yacula. Ange's adorable card and wonderful colouring really help to highlight just how cute this little guy is! Check out 'Freckles' and his friends here.

 Ange

For my card today, I am using this beautiful new die from Memory Box called 'Honeyblossom Spirg'.  


There is a new challenge blog I just found called CASology - their challenges are based on one word cue cards and the current word is 'Happy' so I am entering this card.

Thanks so much for stopping by and for all the wonderful comments you have been leaving :)

Happy Sunday :)


I can't tell you how happy I am that school holidays have started... two weeks of, hopefully, stress free pottering around home and lots of crafty time. Yay!!


Ange unfortunately can't be with us today, she is looking after a sick child. We wish her all the best and  pray that Calum has a speedy recovery and is soon up and running around again.


But, lucky for us, the wonderful Sue from My Inner Reflection has stepped in to be our special Guest Designer this week. Welcome Sue and thank you for sharing your gorgeous card with us.


I love the tiled look Sue has created here using the butterfly from Hero Arts 'Antique Flowers and Butterflies' set. This set also comes with all the dies to match, which is perfect for making cards.

 Sue

This elegant card from Angeline uses the die 'Wild Blooms' from Memory Box - they make beautiful intricate dies. I love the tone on tone effect Angeline created on this card.

 Angeline

One of my favourite card designers is Savannah O'Gwynn... I could seriously CASE everything she does!  She is so fearless when it comes to using Pattern Paper, something I truly envy.  Ironically, the card I am casing today is one where she has only used a little bit, but it is seriously one cool card :)

My version still uses these great speech bubble stamps from Paper Smooches 'He Said She Said'. I also used this cute little puppy from Sweet Stamp Shop's 'Buddie-Bee'. Pattenered paper from Lawn Fawn, coloured card stock and a computer generated sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Cheers

It's time to share this weeks DT cards with you :)


This card from Angeline is very elegant - the white on white is lovely. Fabulous way to use die cuts, the 'Wild Blooms' die from Memory Box has been cut twice for added depth.

Angeline 

I love Ange's bright and fun card - the yellow really pops. She has combined 'Happy Bugs' and 'Old Fashioned Afternoon', both from Sweet Stamp Shop. Fantastic way to used patterned paper too.

 Ange

I have used the new and adorable set 'Critters Down Under' from Lawn Fawn and combined it with my favourite gingham paper.


I am entering this into the Moxie Fab Gingham Challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by :)

Hello and happy Sunday :)

Before I show you todays cards, I just wanted to remind you of our current challenge - you still have time to play. The details can be found here.

Wow, this card by Ange is just stunning! This gorgeous image is from 'Victorian Summer' from Skipping Stone Designs.

 Ange

Not only is this card by Angeline gorgeous, but it is a great way to use up scraps. I just love the design of this card and that font is fantastic. The sentiments are from Purple Onion Designs - 'Baby Noteblock'.

 Angeline

My card today uses a few products. Those fun bunnies are from 'Grey Hares' by Skipping Stone Designs, the tree is 'Twiggy Tree' from Memory Box, the grass die is from My Favorite Things Die-namics and the sentiment is from Lawn Fawn's 'Sophie's Sentiments'. (I actually made a boo boo with the sentiment and this is the only way I could cover it up)  :( 

Well I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.

It's Lynn!!!!

Congratulations Lynn. Please email me and I will pop something in the mail for you. Next week we will start a new challenge.


Ok, I do have some cards to share.


Angeline has made this very cool and trendy tag using washi tape - I love washi tape :) The cute boots and sentiment come from Jane's Doodles 'Raindrops' set.

 Angeline

How about this super gorgeous Mother's Day card by Ange! I love the colour variations on the flowers - so lovely. Ange has used Jane's Doodles 'Mother's Day' set and Basic Grey/Hero Arts 'Luscious Patterned Flowers'.

 Ange

For my card today I am using the same background as my previous post (this was the first one I did, but I was going to bin it because of the bad stamping at the bottom - changed my mind :)). 

There are some new Memory Box dies in store so I decided to play. This uses 'Perched Reedbird' and 'Woodland Branch' - these dies are so delicate. The sentiment is made using some old Making Memories stickers I found and a few drops of distress ink ' spiced marmalade'.

Ok, I am off to get some lunch... I am starving after all my hard work :)

Cheers
