Pat Carr's Stamp Camp April 2013 - Workshop Card - Very Vintage

Hi Stamping Friends,
Last weekend I attended Pat's Camp at "Avalon" in Toodyay, Western Australia.  We all had a fabulous time and I did a Workshop on this card.  It came originally from Carolyn King who is also in my Stampin' Up! Upline group under Ngaire Anderson.  I was totally in awe of this group of Ladies that attended the camp, this was a big project, at times very inky and messy and they handled it with ease.  Well done to you all! 
I only saw photo's of Carolyn's card during my prep and they are similar, but my colour is more intense than what Carolyn created and you can find her Tutorial and Photo's here.
This is the card everyone made:









Supplies:
Stamps: Artistic Etchings, Established Elegance, Elements of Style, Collage Curios, Vintage Labels (R), Papaya Collage, Style Beautiful (R), Vintage Verses, Everything Eleanor
Card and Papers: Perfect Plum, Sahara Sand, Confetti White
Ink: Versamark, Perfect Plum, Sahara Sand, Basic Grey, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Platinum Shimmer All Purpose Ink
Finishing Touches: Whisper White Organza Ribbon
Cool Tools: Big Shot, Sizzix Large Doily Die, Embossing Buddy, Clear E/Powder, Heat Tool, Sponges, Mini Mister, Misting Box, Paper Towel, Scrap Paper, Large and Small Tag Punches, Dble Sided Tape, Dimensional, Mini Glue Dots 
I have another card that I made in the same style but different colours, that I will post soon.  There is also the Shoebox cards, some Tutorials and another couple of workshop projects, some of which I have to finish making.  So drop back soon to see some more inspiration.
Thanks for stopping by today.  I love to hear from you.

Today's post is for this weeks Merry Monday Sketch Challenge. I have used another cute image from Mo Manning called Penguin With a Gift.  I coloured the image with my Copics.  I wasn't happy with the face so I stamped it again and cut it out and mounted it on Dimensionals, no mistakes in stamping right?

The Bashful Blue mat was embossed with the Northern Flurry E/Folder and I added a crystal on the banner.

Merry Monday #58 - Nordic Santa #2

Hello Friends,
Today's post is for this weeks Merry Monday Sketch Challenge and the 52 (Christmas) Card Throwdown.  I have two cards for you this week, I wanted to try a couple of different ideas, so although they are similar, they have different design ideas incorporated in them. For this card I stamped the Santa on Crumb Cake and Paper Pierced his robe and coloured the rest off him with Prismacolour Pencils. The Bashful Blue background was embossed, I used a Christmas word stamp for the die cut tree and sponged the edges. The present was finished with Dazzling Details and a Gelly Roll Pen.  Then I added some Buttons which had Silver cord threaded through them and a Silver Star. I have put the other card in a separate post.

Seize The Birthday #13 - Male Card - All Aboard

Hi Stampers,
Today's post is for the Seize The Birthday Card Challenge this week to do a Male card following the sketch from last week. My card is pretty straight forward, I followed the sketch, cutting, punching, stamping and embossing the sentiment.  Finished off with the two square brads from my stash, scored a couple of lines on the inside and stamped the train silhouette. I like how the background DSP stripes are on an angle and then striped in the pattern, a lucky find in my stash of retired Stampin' Up! papers.

Merry Monday #56 - Jingle All the Way

Happy Easter Monday Everyone,
Today's post is for the Merry Monday Sketch Challenge this week.  After some polling from our dedicated followers Lesley and the Design Team have voted and we will be doing Sketch Challenges only from this week. For this challenge I have used Designer Paper all the way, even for the sentiment, no stamping at all. The row of stockings on the DSP determined the layout and I changed it to a Landscape card. I embossed the Whisper White card , made my flags, and added the sentiment and dressed it up with the crochet cotton and little bells, using dimensionals to give some dimension to some of the layers. Nice quick and easy card.

 

 



Supplies:

Stamps: None

Card and Papers: Wild Wasabi, Whisper White, Kaisercraft Mint Twist DSP

Ink: Light Grey Copic

Finishing Touches: Crochet Cotton, Jingle Bells, Clear Thread

Cool Tools: Big Shot, Sizzix Polka Dot E/Folder, 1 1/4" Square Punch, Martha Stewart Screw Punch, Needle, Dble Sided Tape, Dimensionals, 2 Way Glue Pen

Thanks for taking the time to stop by, I love to hear from you.
