Sweep boy

This card was made using Little Claire Stamp Club set for November - Cutie Patooties Sweep and Girl.

I begun by stamping the image with a black Memento ink pad onto smooth white card. I coloured him in with ProMarkers. For all the background panels I used a patterned edge scissors to cut the edges.



The greeting is a peel-off also by Little Claire. To finish the card I added buttons and faux stitching.

I love ProMarkers challenge - week 92

This is my card for this week's I Love ProMarkers blog challenge. The theme of the challenge is use Christmas Tress on your project.

A few more Magnolia stamps have finally made it to the ink pad following my rediscovering of them this week. I begun my stamping the Tilda image. I coloured her in with ProMarkers. I added gold highlights with a gel pen and crystal Stickles on the fur areas of her coat.



For the background I cut a square of light blue card and a circle of white card. I stamped a snowflake pattern on them using Baja Blue and Craft White Stampin' Up ink pads. I used the large snowflake stamp around the edge of a white card blank. I stamped this with Night of Navy ink pad. I also used this for the greeting. The Christmas Trees were stamped using Old Olive ink pad. The greeting, tree and snowflakes stamps are by Magnolia.



I layered all the pieces onto the card blank as well as diecut snowflakes. I added faux stitching around the edge with a dark blue fineliner. To finish the card I added PolarWhite FlowerSoft and diamond Stickles to the trees and snowflakes.

Passion for ProMarkers - week 126

This is my card for this week's Passion for ProMarkers blog challenge. The theme of this week's challenge is “white on white”.

I have rediscovered my Magnolia stamps this week. It's been awhile since they have been out of their draw. I had forgotten just how much I enjoy colouring them in. There will be more little Tilda cards to come for sure.



For this card I begun by stamping the Tilda image. The Tilda and bench are separate stamps so I create a mask to cover the original Tilda image before stamping the bench image over the top. I coloured in the complete image with ProMarkers. I used Nestabilities to cut out the image and the frame.



For the background I embossed two panels of white card with a Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder. I attached these onto a card of white card. Across this square I added a punched strip of white card and then a strip of snowflake embossed card. The punch I used for the strip is Stampin' Up eyelet punch. The square was then added to a square card blank.

I added the stamped image and oval greeting to the card with foam pads. I cut the snowflakes with my Cricut and again added these with foam pads. I added diamond Stickles to the snowflakes. To finish I added two gems and gold dots.

Stamping - I love it!

This is my card for this week's Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge Week 81. The theme is 'Your Favorite Technique'. My favourite technique is stamping. I have also made a matching notebook to go with the card as a gift.



I begun by stamping all the rose and leaf images. The stamp set I used is 'A rose is a rose' by Stampin' Up. This is one of my favourite stamps sets that I have probably used more than any other. The stamps are two-part, you stamp the light colour first and then using a Stamp-a-ma-jig (stamping positioning tool) you then stamp the dark part of the image.



The ink pad colours I used for the items are all by Stampin'Up. I used Rose Pink, Pretty in Pink, Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz. I cut out all the piece and attached them to a card blank. I added faux stitching with a Rich Razzleberry pen. I used Cindy Loo Cricut cartridge for the lettering.



The stamped images and lettering on the notebook cover were created in the same was as the card. I also stamped the rose image on the inside pages of the book. I used my Cinch to bind the book together.
