Weekly Wednesday Archive #11

Hi,

Wednesdays seem to come around so quickly.  This week is a card I made in 2011. It was made for a birthday for my mother.  It was well received, but then all mums love what their children make and gift them.  I know I do :)

I made all the flowers from scrapbooking paper

All the product used to make the card is retired Stampin Up apart from the plain coloured cardstock. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Weekly Wednesday Archive #10

Hi all,

This weeks archive card is c.2012 and was made for a show and share board at a Regional Stampin Up event held in Brisbane.  At the time the card was made the products used were current which was one of the criteria for the show and share.  It is to give people ideas and inspiration for products that are for sale in the current catalogue.  Alas most of the products now are retired.

Anyways without further ado;

The Card

The card front has had a piece removed forming a gap which is then held together with randomly butterflies that have been stamped in various colours and punched using the punch to match.

The sentiment is stamped directly onto the background and the frame over the top is paper glued to lightweight chipboard and die cut using a framelit die using the Big Shot.  I then placed the frame over the top of the sentiment.  The small butterfly placed on the frame has a body which is a paper bead made from rolling some paper tightly, similar to quilling.  The antennas are thin strips of paper with the ends curled.

Thanks for stopping by.

Card Concept Challenge #27 Love

Hi,

Sharing my entry in the Card Concept Challenge #27 Love based on the inspiration image below.  I am entering in the Shabby Chic/Vintage category again.

Here is my interpretation

An Easel Card

This cute bear is a Stamp It stamp.

Coloured with copic markers.

Had a blast making this card.  Think I will stick with this category at The Card Concept as I'm enjoying this style and maybe I can use up some of my over burdened craft product stash.

Thanks for stopping by.

Weekly Wednesday Archive #9

Hi there,

This week from the archives is a 3d card from a decoupage kit.  It came from a book which had several cards in it and included all the background papers and other embellishments.  No stamping etc was involved just cutting and layering of the main image and attaching it to the matching background.  The only technical and fiddley bit is cutting all the images out for layering.  They are great for when you just want to make something without having to think or design.  I really like 3 dimension on cards so I really enjoy making these types of cards.

Can't seem to get a good shot of the layers which is a shame

as the flower bouquet is quite dimensional.

Thanks for stopping by.

Freshly Made Sketch Challenge #170

Hello,

Two posts this evening as I have to hopefully catch the deadline for the Freshly Made Sketch Challenge #170.  Here is the sketch.

Here is my interpretation.

 

Thought this would be an appropriate theme as Valentines Day is fast approaching.  Most products are retired Stampin Up and the Embossing Folder brand I'm not too sure.  This was very quickly put together this afternoon.  I really like this set it is a Valentines set .  It has some sweet images.  I especially like the heart banner.
Thanks for looking.

Nice Surprise

I received a very nice surprise.  I was a Challenge winner in the Shabby Chic Vintage category 

for The Card Concept Challenge blog.  Challenge #26 which was also their one year anniversary.

This was also the very first time I had entered any of the Card Concept challenges so I was very happy my card was chosen.

 This is my card entry.

Using this image as the concept and inspiration

I encourage you to have a go at entering.  Its about a fortnightly turnaround so the deadline is not so demanding and there are 6 style categories to chose from or you can enter a different card in each category if you are game!
Thanks for stopping by.

Weekly Wednesday Archive #8

Hi there,

Where did that week go?  Can't believe I haven't posted anything since last weeks Weekly Wednesday Archive post.  The year is already speeding past.

Today I have to share a 21st birthday card I made for a friend in c.2012.  It is a twisted easel card.
Made with Stampin Up retired products.  Seem to have a lot of retired Stampin Up stuff!!!!!

I always find it hard coming up with an idea for a male card.  This card took me forever to make.
I seemed to fuss with nearly everything.
