Card Class July

Well I haven't blogged for a couple of weeks due to our camera going to camera heaven....
I am very sad as it was a brilliant digital SLR camera but we did have it for 9 years...
Time to start saving again

I grabbed out our Nikon underwater camera and thought it may work but the quality may not be as good.
I am pleasantly surprised!

I have a small monthly cardmaking group of ladies whom I adore.
They are such a lovely group and generally we make two cards in one of our cardmaking sessions.
We made a shaker card as our first card (see previous post to this) using my daughters 6th Birthday card as the inspiration. (I usually do one more involved card or a card with a different fold/layout first and then the easy card second.

This card above is the easy card using Jar of Love Bundle and it was super quick to make too.

• Stamps: Jar of Love
  
• Ink:  Dapper Denim, Pumpkin Pie, Soft Sky
• Card: Whisper White, Soft Sky, Dapper Denim, Real Red and By The Shore DSP
• Tools: Everyday Jars and Layering Circles Framelits with the Bigshot and Confetti Hearts Border
• Embellishments:  Dimensionals

What Will You Stamp? Challenge #73

I have been lucky to be included in this challenge as a guest stamper this week and I just received this set in the mail so it was perfect timing.

This is just gorgeous this set and I had plans on making my daughters birthday card with it alongside with a couple of other stampsets so here it is.

She turned six last Monday and loved this shaker card I made her.
Unfortunately she wasn't well all day so we celebrated a few days later.

Just a little tip though if you are putting a bit of the Dazzling Diamonds inside the shaker.... be very very careful when you seal it so it doesn't get on the mounting foam and not seal the shaker properly.

I saw the jar and thought that this is exactly what I wanted to do with it.

• Stamps: Jar of Love, Fairy Celebration and Number of Years
  
• Ink:  Staz On Black, Flirty Flamingo, Sweet Sugarplum, Daffodil Delight, Pink Pirouette, Wisteria Wonder, Wild Wasabi
• Card: Whisper White, Shimmery White, Sweet Sugarplum and Flirty Flamingo
• Tools: Everyday Jars Framelits & Large Numbers Framelits with the bigshot, Silver Stampin' Emboss powder
• Embellishments:  Dimensionals, Foam Adhesive Strips, Rhinestones, Dazzling Diamonds glitter, Silver sequins, Wink of Stella and Sweet Sugarplum Ruched Ribbon
• WWYS73

The Artful Stampers Blog Hop Challenge 93

Welcome from Jane's blog this week.

A sketch challenge this week

I have been away for the weekend and only arrived home last night so I whipped up this card to go with this sketch but I made it a little more symmetrical by putting a flag in the right hand side of the yellow slightly different to the sketch.

I had also been in the craft room till nearly midnight creating a gorgeous card for our daughter who turns 6 today.

Bright and cheery I think.

What Will You Stamp? Challenge #70

Hi, I haven't posted for a couple of weeks as we went on holidays with our little family.
I have never been in this challenge so I thought why not?

This bundle arrived on my doorstep when I was away so my friend Emma picked up the box and babysat it until I arrived home.... I was in heaven as this set was the first on my wishlist!

I had an idea with the pinata to have is suspended as if it was hung from the roof of a party.

A great bright cheery card. I love these colours together they work so very well.
The sentiment is raised in the middle with dimensionals and glued down on the sides to give it a 3d effect.

• Stamps: Birthday Fiesta
  
• Ink:  Memento Black, Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Tempting Turquoise and Emerald Envy (Stampin' Write Markers also in these colours)
• Card: Whisper White, Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Tempting Turquoise, Emerald Envy & Festive Birthday DSP
• Tools:  Fiesta Time Framelits Dies, Layering Squares Framelits Dies & Brick Wall Embossing Folder with the Bigshot, Fringing scissors
• Embellishments:  Dimensionals, Rhinestones
• WWYS70
