What Will You Stamp 203? #WWYS203

What Will you Stamp Challenge number 203.
I hope that you like what I can come up with for these awesome challenges.
I hope more of you join in with these great stampset challenges as they are fun!


I really haven't been able to participate the last couple of months as I didn't have any of the great sets that were featured. (it would be nice to have a never ending bank account but it is just not possible!)

I am back anyway for this one.


The stamparatus is the best invention to get the sentiment just right on this card.
I love it and I think I should crack it out more often.

This is a simple card but with a bit of layering and dimension it comes up pretty cute!

  • Stamps: Colorful Season (Colourful Season)
  • Ink:  Blushing Bride, Crumb Cake and Sahara Sand
  • Card: Whisper White, Blushing Bride and Wood Textures DSP
  • Tools: Seasonal Layers Thinlits with the bigshot.
  • Embellishments: Dimensionals

The Paper Players 424 #PP424




I was looking through the challenges available this week and saw these pretty colours...


I got excited and whipped up a card for it.


But silly me didn't read the last line and a colour of your choice. 
Oh well I was going to go back and add to it but I like it just the way it is!

I purposely left off the sentiment as it didn't look right any which way I tried to pop one on. This card is going to be perfect for an anything goes card!

  • Card: Whisper White, Pool Party, Grapefruit Grove, Daffodil delight and Gingham Gala DSP
  • Tools: Butterfly Beauty Thinlits with the bigshot

Inspire.Create.Challenge #034



I have found another great challenge! The Inspire. Create. Stamping Challenge....
This makes me so excited!

This fortnight is a colour challenge

Gorgeous Bright Colours! I love them.

Here is a card I made with these great colours.... I made a sympathy card but you can change the sentiment to be anything!


This has been in my head since I saw this great saleabration stampset but it has taken me a while to figure out how to make it...I had to handcut the night of navy blue card to fit the vellum piece and then fussy cut the coloured image.... a bit time consuming but worth it in the end!


  • Stampsets: Lovely Lattice & Itty Bitty Greetings
  • Ink: Lovely Lipstick, Call Me Clover, Pineapple Punch, Calypso Coral, Night of Navy and Stayz on Black
  • Card: Whisper White, Night of Navy, Calypso Coral, Pineapple Punch, Watercolour and Vellum
  • Tools: Stitched Labels Framelits with the bigshot & Aqua Brush
  • Embellishments:  Dimensionals, Frost Shimmer Paint and Lovely Lipstick 1/8" Grosgrain ribbon

Fab Friday Challenge 154 #FABFRI154

Fab Friday Challenge
This week is a great sketch.


This week is a colour challenge..... so so much green!!

I figured out a way to make green pretty......



I tried my hand at a bit of no line watercolouring. 
It's my first attempt so don't look too closely...… 
Well you know practise makes perfect so I had better keep on giving it a go!

It does take a bit of time but I think it is worth it in the end. 
I think it looks a bit like a painting don't you?

Caseing the Catty Sunday Challenge #CTC211



This is a facebook challenge that I think I have only made one card for previously.
I love the suites that are featured this week so I thought that I would join in.

Here is the info for this week
Every Sunday at 7pm (AEST), there will be a new challenge where we are CASEing a section of the current Stampin' Up! catalogues.
This week we are casing the All My Love section, pages 4-9, from the 2019 Occasions Catalogue.
You can CASE directly or be inspired by a sketch/layout, colour combo or embellishment.

Here is the page I chose my CASE from.


page 7 of the Occasions catalogue.


My take on the card in the bottom of the pic slightly changed with colour, sentiment and features a butterfly rather than the flower image....

  • Card: Whisper White, Shimmery White, All My Love DSP, Lovely Lipstick Foil, Vellum, Soft Seafoam, Flirty Flamingo and Crumb Cake
