Digger Crazy

This is a brithday card I made for a little boy who is digger crazy. As I didn't have an appropriate stamp set I printed the image onto Whisper White cardstock from my computer.

I also used my new Simple Numbers Die with my Big Shot and the 'Rough Type' Alphabet from the current Mini Catalogue.

Colours are Real Red, Basic Gray and Whisper White.

Here's another example of brayering. This is a card we made in one of my Techniques classes recently.

I used 'Lovely as a Tree', which has turned out to be such a flexible set.

I layeder the main image onto Concord Crush cardstock and then onto Whisper White, which I embellished using my Scallop Trim Edge and Scallop Trim Corner Punch.

Free is Good!

Don't you just love freebies?! I used my new 'Bliss' set, which was free as part of Sale-A-Bration. I love this set and already have heaps of ideas for it.
This card was inspired by one given to me by Rachael Knight - check out her blog

Sale-A-Bration ends at the end of March, so get your orders in NOW to earn free sets.

My brayer has been getting a good workout lately. This is an idea I had after I taught brayering in one of my techniques classes.

I brayered the sky and sea, then sponged the sun. I used Basic Black to stamp the leaves and bird using my Vintage Vogue and Silhouette Sentiments stamp sets. The greeting comes from Teeny Tiny Sentiments and I also used my scallop trim border punch. 

Give it a try yourself!

If you're a little nervous about brayering why not book a workshop and I'll show you how....

Rough Type Goes Bright

I loved the Rough Type Alphabet as soon as I saw it in the Summer Mini Catalogue. At first glance I though it would be really great for scrapbooking and vintage projects, but it's so versatile that it works really well with bright and contemporary projects too!

It's also really easy to use this set as you don't need to worry about getting all the letters perfectly straight. It comes with the circle stamp that I used for 'happy', but if you have the clear mount set you can also line all the letters up on one block and stamp a whole word in one go as I did with 'birthday'.

Products in the Summer Mini Catalogue are only available until the end of March, so get your orders in soon...

Vintage Swing

Here's the Swing Card (also known as a flip flop card) that we made in the January Fancy Folds Class.

As you open the card the middle section swings around as you can see in the second photo.

For this card I decided to play around with a more vintage style than usual so I chose 'Sense of Time', which is a perfect set for this style. We also used the spritzer tool (main catalogue) and some smooch spritz (Summer Mini catalogue). To finish it off there's lots of sponging and a crumpled, layered 5-Petal Flower using cardstock and velum.

Humm, I quite liked the finished result - I might go vintage more often!

Lucky Last

This is my last Valentine offering for this year - lucky Matt, there have been quite a few (see older posts below...)!

This is another card using 'Love Defined'. Boy I've got my money's worth out of this set. You can find it in the current Summer Mini catalogue.

For this card I use my Stampin' Write Markers to colour the main image and also the sentiment stamp.

Sets in the Summer Mini are only available until the end of March so don't wait - order today!
