Just for Fun

I had a last play with the little monkey from Fox and Friends.  He's been a favourite of mine and so handy.  Unfortunately this set is now sold out so sorry if you didn't get your hands on this adorable set :(

I've started off with a Pacific Point card base and stamped the little monkey several times in the same coloured ink.   I made a panel of Whisper White with a mat of Real Red and stamped the Borderlines vine stamp in Daffodil Delight.  Then added some branches from the Bird Builder Punch on Chocolate Chip.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes stamped in Pacific Point and punched out with the Modern Label Punch.  

Thanks for coming in past today.  Hope you have the chance to have a play! x

Hanging Around

There's been a few challenges lately that I've been wanting to join in with, but life has been getting in the way!  So today I took time out to sit down and join in with this weeks ColourQ. 

I've started with a Tempting Turquoise card base then added a mount of Whisper White.  A panel of Tempting Turquoise was corner rounded on opposite corners and Birthday from Happiest Birthday Wishes was repeatedly stamped in Tempting Turquoise.  My main panel was mounted onto Real Red.  I stamped the swirl from Everything Eleanor in Lucky Limeade in the top corner.  My little monkey from Fox and Friends was stamped in Island Indigo.  I punched a heart from Real Red card stock using the Small Heart Punch.  I popped it up on a Dimensional and added a Basic Rhinestone.

Back to normality today.  The children are back to school but it's the calm before the storm.  Lots of end of year activities.

Thanks for joining me today.  Your visits are always appreciated. x

Baby Boy Fox and Friends

This is a card we made at my card class this week.  A baby boy card to go along with the baby girl card I posted here. 

I started off with a Crumb Cake base and added a mat of Bashful Blue with the corners rounded. 

I then stamped some of the cute animals from Fox and Friends in So Saffron on Whisper White and punched out using the 1 1/4" Square Punch.  I also punched out 3 squares of Beau Chateau Designer Series Papers.  The squares were arranged and attached to a Marina Mist mat before running through the Square Lattice Folder. 

The sentiment is from Baby Prints and I've just inked up the word "baby" in Marina Mist and stamped onto Whisper White.  I corner rounded one end of the tag and snipped the other for a ribbon effect.

Let me show you the Baby Prints stamp set.

Cheeky Monkey!!

Good Afternoon.  

We are still enjoying lovely sunshine in the North East but the weather men say it's going to be cooler by Saturday just in time for the Children's Easter holidays.  I'm hoping it warms up again on Sunday!!

Over at Simply Stampin' we have a sketch to follow.  My card is rectangular but I hope that's still ok.  

So take a look at this cheeky monkey!  He's popped a crown on his head and is having a good look in the mirror! Hee Hee.

If you are a regular you will know that I've been having a play with Fox and Friends this week.  As Sale-A-Bration ends very soon, I thought I'd team up one of the sets with Fox and Friends.  Elementary Elegance sprung to mind and I got the idea of making the frame a mirror.  Of course the monkey just fits the bill to be the one having a cheeky peek at his reflection.  To do this I stamped the frame in River Rock on Whisper White and again on a post it note.  Then punched out the centre of the post it note with the Curly Label Punch.  I then stamped the monkey through the mask in Soft Suede.  I added a crown in River Rock with a Basic Rhinestone in the centre.  I kept the mask in place and lightly sponged some Pool Party to look like the glass in the mirror.  

The panel is attached to a mat of Pool Party which has been edged with the Scallop Trim Border Punch.  From my scraps I attached a strip of Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper (another free set from Sale-A-Bration).  

The sentiment is also from Elementary Elegance and stamped in River Rock on Whisper White and attached to a Pool Party mat.  I snipped the ends for a ribbon tag effect. This was all attached to a mat of Poppy Parade with a card base of Whisper White. 

Well my cheeky monkeys have arrived home from school and are raiding the food cupboards.  They love it when Mum has done the weekly shop and there is plenty of goodies to choose from!

Baby Quilt

Good Morning!  Hope the sun is shining where you are today.

I've a baby card to share with you.  The Friday Mashup are asking you to

Make a project using the "Quilted Cards Technique"

Or Make a project using "Something that's been forgotten (sitting in your stash forever)"

Or "Mash it Up" and create a "Quilted card with something you've forgotten about"                            

So I had great fun making my quilted card.  I stamped Fox and Friends animals in Bashful Blue, Marina Mist, So Saffron and Certainly Celery.  Then punched out the animals using 1 1/4" Punch.  I also punched another 4 squares.  Then die cut the letters using Timeless Type Junior Alphabets and attached these to the squares.  I also punched squares out of Beau Chateau Designer Series Paper and cut these in half.  Then formed a pattern onto copier paper and attached the squares to it.  I ran this through the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  Then further trimmed my "quilt" to fit the card base.  

I added a border of So Saffron and edged the bottom with the Scallop Edge Punch.  Then added another border of Certainly Celery before attaching to a Marina Mist card base. 

To finish I attached a rhinestone brad to one corner, which is my forgotten item.

Thanks for dropping by today and Welcome to Victoria.  I appreciate you following my little blog.  Hope you pop by often.

Fox and Friends play Tig and Tag

A fun card for you today.  

I was having a little shot of the fab Fox and Friends set.  

I punched out tags in Whisper White using the Large Tag Punch.  I then stamped some fun Fox and Friends slightly off the edge as if they are peeking out.  They were stamped in Real Red, Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie.  They were then mounted onto the same colour card punched using the Extra Large Tag Punch.  I then die cut some letters using the Timeless Type Junior Alphabet Sizzlits.  

I don't know if you can see but I textured the Basic Black mount with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  This was then attached to a Whisper White mat and then onto a Daffodil Delight card base. 

Last few remaining days of Sale-A-Bration.  Have you got your free set?  If not there is still time to take advantage of this fab event.  You also still have time to join my Stampers 6 starting in April.  Only 2 places left!

Have a Whale of a time!

Here's a card I was having a play with today.  

I started having some fun with the whale from Fox and Friends stamping him first in Tempting Turquoise then straight into Pacific Point before stamping him on Whisper White.  I then masked him and using a stencil scrap from Swirls and Scribbles Sizzlit, I sponged both Tempting Turquoise and Pacific Point to create a splashy background.  

The background cards are also scraps in both colours.  Stamped the border stamp from Fresh Vintage in Pacific Point onto the Tempting Turquoise card and the jumbled Birthday stamp from Happiest Birthday Wishes in Pacific Point onto the same coloured card stock.  I used a White Gel Pen to make some faux stitching.

The sentiment is also from Happiest Birthday Wishes and is stamped in Pacific Point and punched out using the Modern Label Punch.  It just fits without the exclamation mark. 

Here's how I finished off the inside -

I repeated the process of stamping the whales in both colours along some Whisper White card and using the 2 3/8" Scallop Circle Punch I made a choppy wave effect along the top.  Whale was die cut with the Timeless Type Junior Alphabet.  I cut out the word in both colours then snipped a wavy edge and attached the Tempting Turquoise onto the Pacific Point letters.  The rest was handwritten with the White Gel Pen. 

As I've used masking I'm going to pop this into Less is More

Thanks for stopping in by.  Hope it's sunny where you are.  We are having a lovely day in Aberdeen.  

Remember still time to place an order for the Sale-A-Bration freebies which finishes at the end of this month.  Also still time to join my Stampers 6 starting in April.  There will be another fab promotion in April. Lots more exciting things to come in the next few months too!

Baby Love

Hi Everyone.  

Finally managed to do some crafting after our family holiday in Florida.  We had a super time visiting Mickey and friends, going on rides and shopping.  Also managed few trips to Michaels and Joanns.  

So now that the family are back into routine I thought I would get cracked on with some new baby cards that I need.  Here's my first one which fits the Less is More challenge this week to use polka dots.  I'm hoping that my mojo came back with me and isn't still partying it up in Florida!  It was really strange picking up my crafting tools after such a long break.

Here's the details of my card - 

The card base is Crumb Cake.  I used some patterned paper from Elegant Soiree Designer Series Paper.  I stamped Fox and Friends in Bashful Blue, Crumb Cake and So Saffron on Whisper White which was then mounted onto Crumb Cake.   "baby" and "love" were stamped in Bashful Blue from Pennant Parade.  Linen Thread was used to hang the tags and a small Basic Pearl finishes it off.

A little tip to share.  I was literally becoming swamped in scraps so decided to sort them out into rough sizes.  I now have several plastic boxes (chinese takeaway boxes worked fab, used them all. must eat more Chinese hee hee) with varying sizes of scraps.  Took a whole evening and a numb posterior!  But much easier to look for small pieces for tags etc.  

Hope you are having a great week!  Take care. x

Two new challenges

Fox and Friends, in the case the little tortoise, has popped in to say Happy Birthday!

My daughter needed a birthday card for a party she's going to this weekend so I decided to try merging two challenges.  New ones for me.

The first is ColourQ where you are to use the following colours -

Don't they look scrummy together?  

And the second challenge is Freshly made Sketches which is only in it's second week.  For this challenge you are to follow the sketch in a clean style.  It doesn't have to be square but should be recognisable as the sketch. 

So onto my card.  I've used a Tempting Turquoise card base covered with Certainly Celery which has been embossed with Perfect Polka Dots.  My Whisper White panel was stamped with the tortoise from Fox and Friends in Basic Grey adding a little Certainly Celery with my Blender Pen.  I then added a pennant from Party This Way in Poppy Parade.  The Happy Birthday is from this set too and has been punched out with the Word Window Punch then set onto a strip of Poppy Parade card punched with the Scallop Edge Punch. A little Rhinestone Brad finishes off.

The sentiment in the pennant is a sneak preview from the new catalogue, Pennant Parade.  I know not much of  a tease but I might have some more for you in the coming weeks.  Remember the mini catalogue and retiral list are finishing at the end of this month.  You can order items from myself by contacting me on ails300@btinternet.com.  

Thanks for coming by today.  x 

Owly Birthday Greetings

This little owl from Fox and Friends has flown in to say Happy Birthday!  He's perched himself on a branch from the 2 step Owl punch.

Firstly I masked a rectangle to make the cloudy background with a scallop circle mask.  I've used Bashful Blue mainly with a little Marina Mist and Baja Breeze added in.  The branch is sponged using a cut out mask of the branch with Early Espresso ink.  I positioned the owl using my Stamp-a-ma-jig again in Early Espresso.  Happy Birthday was stamped from Occasional Greetings also in Early Espresso.  The card base is Whisper White.

I'm entering this into Less is More as my second card for one layer - something with legs.  Also One Layer Wednesday which has clouds as it's theme.

Thanks for taking a look, hope you've had a great weekend. x

Less is more - Something with legs

It's Saturday!  That means a new challenge from Less is More which is a one layer week and the theme is something with legs.

My first thought was a spider!!  However when I told my husband the theme of the challenge his first thought was a giraffe.  So I went with the giraffe from Fox and Friends.  Much nicer than a spider!  Having thought of a giraffe I asked him what sentiment he would put with it and bless him he came up with a few.  This is one of them.  Once I had that I came up with this idea.

The card base is 6" by 6" in Whisper White card stock.  I printed the sentiment in blue using Curlz font.  I then masked the sentiment with a circle and sponged the edges with Pear Pizzazz.  I stamped the giraffe repeatedly around the circle in So Saffron and then using a scallop mask sponged Bashful Blue around their heads to create clouds. 

I'm a bit mmmm about this one.  I like the idea and kinda like the result and it is growing on me but it's so far out of my comfort zone! 

Hope you've had a great Saturday, We had some sun but some really heavy showers too.  Thanks for joining me. x

Birthdays and Thank You's

Good evening to you all.  

Tonight I wanted to share with you some cards that I made with my daughter, Holly.  She was invited to a birthday party on Saturday so we made a card for her friend.  

She chose the colours - Melon mambo for the card base, Perfect Plum and Pear Pizzazz. The stamp sets she chose were - Fox and friends, Silhouette Sentiments and Punch Bunch.  Together we put together the layout.  I showed her how to make a sponged background and let her have a go.  She also had a shot of stamping the little flowers.  I explained how we could have put some colour on the flowers by using Mum's magic pens (blender pens).  She chose the tortoise because she said her friend likes turtles!  We stamped it in crumb cake.  I then showed her the Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die and she decided where the butterflies were to go.  I was surprised but pleased to see that she understood perspective as she explained "The smaller butterflies are further away."  I helped her to punch out the true friend stamp with the 1" punch.  It was mounted using the 1 1/4" punch.  We then punched out some perfect plum using the Modern Label Extra-Large to finish off our sentiment.  

We also decorated the middle but she had it written out before I could take a photo of the inside! 

Now after her play yesterday she was itching to have a go at her Thank You cards which we hadn't gotten around to.  Her birthday was in April when she turned 9.  This time I cut out whisper white squares and once she had chosen her ink colours and stamp sets, left her to it.  I didn't want to influence her, you know how it is, you always want to say don't stamp it there or use these colours etc. 

Well here's what she come up with.  Aren't they wonderful? 

Did you notice the owl card is a little shorter than the others?

 

 Well here's the story.  She was only supposed to make the panels but decided to make up the full card using my paper trimmer too I might add!  She tried hard but well super squint lines so a rescue was in order.  However she had put the colours together, mounted the panel onto bashful blue with a blue strip along the bottom and stamped the thank you.  She had also sat the owl on the branch without the use of a stamp-a-ma-jig!  However if she had known about it I'm sure she would have given that a go too.  Did you notice the little flowers?  Yep you guessed it she used my magic pen picking up ink from a palette of ink on the stamp pad.  Good grief she must have been soaking it all in!  

I've highlighted this one because after rescuing the owl card I reiterated that she should only do the panels, I would do the cutting out but she could continue to chose the colours etc.  After a bit of a thump and crash I went back in to see what was up and here she was trying to use the Beautiful Wings Embosslit on her own!!  Well it is part of the panel.  Her fox does look cute with it's black additions though.  

I can hear her little voice now from when she was 2 saying "I do it!" 

Sorry folks this has been a long post but i hope you don't mind my indulgence.  I told her that i would post her cards on here and that any comments would be hers so please if you would be so kind to let her know what you think.  

Thanks again. x

Less is More - Thanks

Woke this morning to glorious sunshine (I could seriously get used to this!) and the new challenge from less is more.  This week is lucky dip week and we have been given a theme of Thanks or Congratulations.  If you haven't taken the plunge yet to join in then this would be an ideal week to start.

My card sort of evolved today as many of mine do!  I started off with looking at my stamps for Thank Yous or Congratulations and chose this stamp from Afterthoughts, a Hostess Level 1 set.  Normally I would mask off the text underneath and perhaps use this in the middle, but today I decided to completely use it for the front.  The owl from Fox and Friends immediately fell into place standing on the T.  I positioned it using my Stamp - a - ma - jig (definitely a must have item at only £10.95 in the catalogue!) and stamped it in chocolate chip.  I cut the whisper white into a square and mounted it onto real red card.   I was already thinking a step ahead and wanted to make it look like a tag.  I used my crop-a-dile to punch out and set a brad then looped some real red ribbon through it.  Now I had my tag I decided it would look best  on some textured whisper white and keeping it in the square cut this to 6" by 6".  I've made a similar panel in the middle with some whisper white and real red.

Can I take this opportunity to pass on my own thanks to all the lovely limettes who have commented and visited my blog in the past week?  It's very much appreciated and I've enjoyed visiting you too.  Also a big thank you to my new followers, I hope you visit often.

I'm off out to have lunch in the garden and to enjoy this sunshine whilst it's here.  Hope you have a great day. x

Can you add some words???.......

Here are a couple of cards where I was asked if I could add some words i.e. make them personal.  Well as the cards had already been made this proved a challenge.  It was OK when I was able to make an insert and put the personal bit in the middle, well mostly...........

This is a gatefold card that I have previously posted using Fox and Friends and I was asked to put  - to Grandson and maybe his name -  Euan.  However as you can see I've pretty much filled up the middle with the little animals peeking out.  After much thought I realised I could put some computer printed panels on the inside of the "doors" and I'm really pleased with the result.

My next card to show you is using that fabby motorcycle stamp.  This time I'd used Night of Navy as a card base and Bashful Blue embossed with the square lattice folder.  I'd coloured in the motorbike to match on Whisper White.  Fortunately I hadn't put a sentiment on the front of this one so it wasn't too difficult to use the tag punches and again my computer to make the sentiment - Happy Birthday Son. 

Thanks for looking again and a Hi goes out to Valerie and Lynn.  Hope everyone is having a good week. x

Monkeying Around

A quick post tonight to share a fun card.  This card is on pear pizzazz and the central panel is mounted onto chocolate chip.  I stamped the monkey from Fox and Friends in chocolate chip ink on whisper white card, linking their tails using my stamp-a-ma-jig.  The heart is from the So Happy For You set and I covered it with crystal effects.  The "Thinking of You" is from Silhouette Sentiments with a line drawn at either side. 

Have a good evening. x

Spring has sprung at Less Is More

Another Saturday, another challenge from Less is More.  This weeks challenge has the theme of Spring but still in a Clean and Simple style.  

I'm really enjoying the challenges and having a look round blogland at everyone's entries.  There is a lot of serious talent out there and I can only hope to learn and continually improve.  It definitely makes me want to stretch myself. 

And this week was a definite stretch as I don't own any traditional stamps that would say Spring to you.  So after a rummage I came up with one of the stamps out of the Punch Potpourri Hostess Set because they reminded me of new buds.  I then decided to stamp them in bashful blue and night of navy to represent bluebells.  Tenuous maybe but that was my thought process. 

 

I stamped the bashful blue on the whisper white, then stamped with night of navy on bashful blue before using the boho blossoms punch to punch them out.  A little pearl in the centre finishes them off.  The "Just for you" is from the hostess set Afterthoughts but with "so you don't have to share" masked off with a post it. 

I made the above card this morning whilst it rained and then snowed outside.  Although some of the bulbs I planted last year are valiantly trying to come through, it couldn't have looked less spring like.  So it came to me that perhaps the next card more represents Spring here.  I thought it would be funny to use snowflakes and then I saw the little tortoise and it fell into place from there.  

I tried out the tutorial of printing straight onto the card.  I haven't managed quite an elaborate text style as was shown.  I think I need to add some more fonts to my computer.  Also I wasn't brave enough to just go for it so to speak so did a practice run on printer paper then cut to the same size and stamped it all out first.  I'm glad I did because I did a little tweaking before using my whisper white card stock.  The inks I've used are night of navy, bashful blue, and crumb cake.  I added a tiny amount of dazzling diamonds glitter on the butterfly's wings.  The stamps are from Serene Snowflakes, Fox and Friends, and So happy for you provided the little butterfly. 

Thanks for having a look and thank you to everyone who has been kind enough to post comments.  I'm off to see what everyone else has posted. x

Technology and me are not a great mix.  I've been trying to network my blog to facebook and it's just not happening the way I'd like it to.  So back to things I can do...

This card is using Fox and Friends stamp set from the mini catalogue and the background was using the Whimsy jumbo wheel.  I stamped the sentiment from the On a Pedestal set.  So a little bit of everything!
