Sorry...

Hello

I have a quick and simple card to share today - I always need belated birthday cards because I am hopeless at actually sending out cards!

I love this cat, he is from Skipping Stone Designs (unfortunately no longer available). I coloured him with copics and then cut him out. The sentiment I did on the computer.

Thanks for visiting :)

Iwona has added some stitching to make these gorgeous blooms, with a little help from 'Pretty Peonies' from Jane's Doodles :)

Onto some cards :)

Ange has very cleverly used the roses from 'Victorian Summer' - Skipping Stones Designs - to create a decorative edge on this lovely card.

 Ange

How about this stunning cutie from Angeline! What's not to love about this card, especially the orange and the image!  This is 'Rosie' from Purple Onion Designs.

 Angeline

Iwona has a fun card today that uses 'Raindrops' from Jane's Doodles. The stamped background is so effective in creating the mood of this card.

Iwona

I am loving all the cards I have seen lately using the emboss resist technique, like this one and this. So here is mine, using 'Roses' from Jane's Doodles.

I used the current Play Date Cafe challenge colours, although I don't think mine are quite dark enough!

Enjoy the rest of your day... my daughter is taking me out to lunch :)

Hello.  How are you all?

I am bad! Not bad in feeling unwell or anything... just bad, naughty! I am a very, very, VERY slow card maker. I have spent a lot of time this weekend making cards, trying to get a start on all the DT cards I need to make (there are a few new releases over the next couple of weeks). But... I ran out of time to make a card for TODAY!!!

Thank goodness my wonderful DT girls are on the ball :)

Ange has made a stylish card combining the flower stamp from 'Fly High' - Jane's Doodles and this wonderful sentiment from 'Grand Greetings' by Lawn Fawn. Gorgeous design and card.

 Ange

Isn't this card from Iwona fabulous! I just love the splatters - such a fun detail. She has used the Fresh Picked stamp from Wplus9 along with coordinating Wplus9 Dies (Label Layers 5 and Fresh Picked die - for the berry).

 Iwona

Angeline has made another stunning one layer card - seriously she is the best at these types of cards and what an unexpected, yet lovely colour palette. Stamps used are 'Dandelion Dreams' by Skipping Stones Designs.

Angeline

It's Lauren A!!!!

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 :)

Jay Gee's Nook - And A Welcome Back

Hello

I have some truly gorgeous cards to share with you today, but first, I would like to welcome back Iwona to the Jay Gee's Nook Design Team! We are so excited to have her join us again :)

And can I just say WOW! This card is amazing - Iwona is certainly back with a bang :) Superb colouring as always. This adorable image is called 'The Runaway' from Gorjuss.

Iwona

I LOVE the elegant look of this bookmark. Angeline used 'Beautiful Botanicals' from Skipping Stones Designs. Make sure you pop on over to Angeline's blog - she has made more of these gorgeous bookmarks in a variety of colours.

 Angeline

How perfect is this card from Ange!  It is brilliant use of negative die space for a fun rainbow effect. The image is from Paper Smooches 'Teen Routine' and the music notes die is from MFT.

Ange

For my card I used this super sweet 'Poppy' image from Purple Onions Designs, coloured with Prisma pencils (still learning to get the hang of these :)) The sentiment is from Jane's Doodles 'Just Dad' set and the little banners from 'Party Time'. The embossed background is an old Cuttlebug folder called 'bloom dots'.

I am entering this into the current Simon Says Challenge -Animal Antics.

Me

Enjoy the rest of your weekend :)

Well a happy hello to you all!  I hope you are enjoying your weekend.


Angeline is away on holidays at the moment, lucky girl, so it is just Ange and me today :)


And speaking of Ange, she is also in the 'Holiday spirit' and made this gorgeous CAS Christmas card. Don't these fun sock stockings just pop on all that gorgeous white space!  You can find these fun images in 'Hello Friend' from Avocado Arts.

 Ange

For my card today I decided to participate in the challenge over at Skipping Stones Designs, using this photo as inspiration.

I used the bird and sentiment from 'Heartsong 2' from Skipping Stones and paired them with this fun patterned paper from Lawn Fawn.

As always, thanks so much for stopping by :)

Lazy Sunday

Hello!


As my blog title suggests, I have had a very lazy Sunday so far... it's been fabulous.  I did have enough energy to make a card to share - but first, lets see what the DT girls have done :)


Angeline has made a perfect Father's Day card using 'Grunge' from Skipping Stones Designs - simple, graphic and those nuts make a wonderful embellishment. 

 Angeline

I love this plaid kite Ange has made - such a fun and adorable card. The stamps used are 'Cut Loose' and 'Word Salad', both from Paper Smooches.

 Ange

I have used lots of fun goodies on my card. This gorgeous background is the new impression plate from WPlus9, it makes a lovely deep impression.  The 'hello' sentiment I cut using MFT Die-namics and the fun bunny is from 'Grey Hares' by Skipping Stones Designs.

I used these wonderful colours from the current Play Date Cafe challenge as inspiration. My Raspberry and Blackberry colours are as close as I could get :)

Enjoy you day :)

Design Team Cards

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.

Carbon Copied

I am so excited today! I'm playing along with the fabulous Karen Baker for a Carbon Copied Challenge (same stamp set, same challenge, same day!) I love Karen's style and have been following her for a long time - she is the queen of misting!

We are both using the gorgeous 'Heartsong 2' stamp set from Skipping Stone Designs and playing along in the Cas-ual Fridays Challenge - Feathered Friends.

I stamped the bird image with Versamark ink and embossed it with clear powder, then used Distress Inks to colour the background. (Sorry that the card looks a little out of focus, not sure what happened) :)

I can't wait to see what Karen has created, come with me and check it out :)

 Ange

Angeline makes the most elegant and stylish cards and this one is another stunner. All stamps used are from Skipping Stone Designs, 'Heartsong 2' set.

 Angeline

My card today is ultra CAS. I have used stamps from 3 new Purple Onion Designs sets - these stamps from Stacey Yacula are so gorgeous, LOVE them all!  The stamps are 'Tucker', 'Flit & Flutter' and 'The Sweetest Day Sentiments'.

Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day.

Hello


I hope you are all enjoying your weekend. The weather here is absolutely stunning :) I have spent some time this morning getting crafty, so after this post I had better do some housework!


Let's see some cards!


First up is this sweet creation from Ange - the sponging of the sky is gorgeous! All stamps used are from Lawn Fawn - 'Critters in the Forest' and 'Grand Greetings'

 Ange 

Angeline has made another fabulous one-layer card using stamps from Paper Smooches - "Reflections" and 'Pretty Phrases".

 Angeline

I am thrilled that Jay Gee's Nook is now stocking Skipping Stones Design's gorgeous stamps! They really are a delight. So for my card today, I decided to join in on their sketch challenge here.

This stamp set is called 'Grey Hares' and there are some really humorous sentiments that come with it.

Thanks so much for stopping by :)
