Slim Line Fun

Wow!  This is me sharing a second card for absolutely no reason, except for, simply, I can.  I got a little time in the craftroom to play. 

I am sharing with you today my latest crafting purchase/obsession.

Slim Line Dies

And in Australia we have our very own home grown company with their very own line of dies.

Today, I share with you a project I made using 

Gum Leaf Slim Line Die

Stitched Rectangles

Slim Line Card and Envelope (10pk) (very reasonably priced!)

Gums and Roses stamp

Gum Leaves (the original one I used has been retired but this is close)

The colouring is very simple.  You don't need too much else with this.  I just love that they have Aussie images for us to use.  Cannot get enough of these.  Will have to try and make a few more.  
These will be available in my market stall or upon request.  So stay tuned for more slim line fun in the future!

Happy crafting!

We are back with another great Sketch for you this week.  

#655

Used another one of my great sets from Kindred Stamps.

Science Geeks.  But now that I check for the link it turns out it has been retired.  Sadface I know. 

For those KS fans that would like to know all colour combinations with Copic markers that I use for all the sets, I will be making  a Pinterest board and sharing them all in there.  Will save you all scrolling through my blog (unless you really want to...lol)

#139 Include an Animal

 

Another month of some great inspiration for you all is happening over at

 

Creative Craft Cottage Challenge

The theme this time around is Include an animal.  So, again, I have printed off some digital images from the 

Koala-fied Pairables set from Digi Doodle Studios

I made this for my young niece.  I kept it very simple.  I just love CAS (clean and simple) cards.  They really make the main image pop! Isn't he a cutie!

This is one of 4 images available in the set.  It also comes with some sentiments.  The clouds are a set of 3 dies from Lawn Fawn.

Happy crafting.

Party Birds

Today I am sharing with you my latest project as Guest DT over at 

Digi Doodle Studios

And I was lucky enough to get the chance to work with 

Party Birds

Our theme this month was animals. So what better way to celebrate than with some party animals....er...birds!  lol.  They were so much fun to colour and can be used for many celebrations. And I also thought putting them on a banner would be perfect. I can see a whole length of them at any party.    

And don't forget one of the best things about using digital images, is you can resize for whatever size you need for the project you are doing.  I use my WORD document most of the time but there are many different programs out there that can be used.  You just need to find the perfect one for you. 

If you pop on over the Facebook, join the Digi Doodle page and find the challenge for the month for your chance to win.  We would love to see what you come up with. 

Happy crafting!

Wow!  That last week just flew by.  We are back with another great challenge for you this week.  

Make the Cards Challenge

This one is a sketch challenge.  These take a lot of the hard work out for you.  

And here is my take on it.  

It has been a long time since I stamped with my Heartfelt Creations flower sets.  This is the Dogwood flower coloured in pink.  The geometric shape is from a Gina K set (the only one I own :-(.  The wood panel is also from that set.  I masked them both off when stamping.  And I placed a light blue hue in the back ground and finished off with a couple of gems randomly placed.  

I had a customer ask me the other day for a belated birthday card.  Out of all the cards I have made over the years I have not one.  So I have now rectified that.  Not something I would think of doing. You have to listen to what the customers are after.  

Don't forget to play along for your chance to Guest Design for us!  

Happy crafting.

 

Birthday, Happy Birthday

Today's post is one just for me.  

This project is one that I had wanted to do for a long time.  Hubby is a huge fan of James Bond (and so am I!).  When I seen this little fellow holding his weapon I jumped at the chance to use him.  

 Secret Agent is the stamp sets name, from Kindred Stamps

The stenciled background is black ink, and from Visible Image. Time Tunnel.

I stamped the Top Secret all over that red banner. 

I used Neutral greys for his suit, E71 E74 E77 for his hair.  Skin is E00 E11 E02.  Very simple but very effective.  

I hope you get a chance to do some crafting for yourself at some stage.  

Happy crafting.

April CCC Digi Creations

 

We are back with another great month of inspiration over at CCC Digi Creations.  

This month our theme is Animals.  So include any kind of animal you wish and enter for your chance to win. 

Here are my little creations.

As soon as I find anything Australian I am on it!  These cute fellows are from Digi Doodle Studios from the Pairable set Koala-fied

There are 2 different images with some sentiments included.  Totally worth getting, and great value fro your money.  I coloured and cut 3 and placed on these gum leaf covered notebooks.  I cannot get enough notebooks in my life (paper obsessed much?  LOL), so I have one on my desk, one in my handbag and one on hand at my market stall.  You never know when you need to jot something down for reference later on.  

Play along as we love to see what everyone comes up with.  

Happy crafting!
