Saturday Sketch

 Good Morning Everyone...

We have a great sponsor this week:

We Are 3 Digital Shop!!

We Are 3 Digital Shop has generously offered a $15 Gift Certificate to their  shop!

Here is Week #557

It's the 5th Saturday ... pick any sketch from 215-556

And here is what I came up with.  

This cute little fellow is called Hearts and Home Birdie.  I did trim him off his original branch that also had a HOME sign hanging from it.  This shows you no matter what image you have you can take away bits to make the image more versatile.  

So if you have an active blog why not join us and have a go! 

Come One Come All

Hi everyone. Today I am sharing my latest make with the stamp set Come One Come All.  

This set  would be great for invitations to that special occasion. 

Come One Come All is a versatile set.  It has all these little images that can be used with any theme.  They also make great backgrounds.  I gold embossed the balloons and stars randomly on black card.  And in between all the embossed images I used a lot of gems, for that extra bling!

To separate the black and white card I added a gold foil border.  I also used the gold foil as a backing for each of the center shapes.  The Come One Come All and popcorn image are also from this set.  

When making invites we usually do them all the same.  And if you are making a few of them, it can get tedious, so, I made 3 different designs to change it up a bit.  

Now I have to go and plan a party just so I can use these, lol.  

Have a great crafty day!  

Sending Sunshine

Hi everyone!  I am here today sharing a little interactive card I made using one of the cutest images around from Craftin' Desert Divas. 

 Sending Sunshine

These kind of Peek a boo cards are very easy to make.  As long as you have some foam mount tape you are good to go.  The pic of the bird is popped up using said tape and the other is tucked underneath with a pull tab.  Great way to give someone a secret message also.  The little sunflower is a smaller version of the one the bird is holding.  The advantage of using digital images is the resizing ability.  I went with some soft summery colours on this one.  I have coloured this bird in so many ways I really should just do a rainbow bird...hehe.  

Queen Of Hearts

Back again with a shaker card this time!  I haven't made many of these but I thought this fitted this character perfectly. 

Queen of Hearts from Heartcraft Papers March release.  

With the shaker mix I only had sequins red, black and silver.  So, I grabbed one of my dies that had multiple tiny hearts and cut out a few of these and added them to the mix.  If you don't have the right colour mix....make your own!  

I hope you liked this project.  Have a great day!  

Bursting Love

The March Kindred release is here!
And didn't I have some fun!  That is the name of the game after all.  When I first got this set I was thinking....ummmm. But once I made my first card the ideas just started flowing.  

Bursting Love is the set I am sharing today.

This first project is a gift tag. Uses 4 images from the set and I just hand drew a party hat and gift.  Just a little light humour for this one. 

This female image is bad ass!  And her stance just enhances this.  I put a wall between these 2 as I really don't think they get along...lol.  

This one has the humour in it also.  This is what I call "special hugs".  A bit of sass for that friend we all have...lol. 
Both these projects, I have use the Tim Holtz 3D embossing folder (rivots I think) on silver foil card.  Then rubbed black paint over it, then wiped off with a dry paper towel.  Gives that great industrial look and feel.  

The entire Kindred Stamps March release will be available Friday, March 22nd at 8am PST/11am EST.

CDD Wedding and Non release

I have 2 projects to share with you today.  To start with I will share my wedding card.  

This image is from Wedding Day Digital Stamp.  I love this gorgeous couple.  You can change the hair to suit the couple and the colour of the card and flowers to suit the brides choice of colours (if you know them), or just your favourite colours, after all the card is from you.  

The second project is a non release card, but a different kind of folding one.  

When I cut an A4 piece of card in half to get my card base, instead of folding it in half I measured the half way point and folded the two sides in to meet in the middle.  Cut some patterned paper ti fit each panel.  The rectangle shape on the front is only adhered to one of these panels allowing the card to open from the centre.  

The tree trunk image is Growing Love and the cute bunny is Spring Friends. A great combo.  You could make this into an Easter card or even a welcome baby card.  Versatile images allow you do change it up to whatever is needed at the time!  Love it!

Don't forget to check out all the other fabulous projects from the other Design Team members over on the gallery page on FB.  The ideas are limitless.  

CDD gnome

I have another share today for you all.  This "sexy" gnome.  LOL  This is from the latest release from 

Craftin Desert Divas

I had to go punny with these gorgeous little images.  How can you not!  

Spring Gnome
This fellow has a little more self confidence than me...hehe.  If these gnomes were in a animated show of their own I reckon this one would be the silent type.  Sweet and silent.  The foliage is from Inside Scallop Circle dies and the frame is Inside Scallop Rectangle dies. 

Don't forget Craftin Desert Diva's are having a challenge over on their FB page.  Go and check it out!
