More Card Crazy

Still crafting like a mad person, which is not a bad thing, my craft room is my sanctuary. 
Whipped up these 2 cards tonight using some new to me stamps from Mama Elephant and Winnie & Walter. Am totally in love with them!!

First up is a card using Winnie & Walter create your own sentiment sets: The Big, The Bold and You and The Big, The Bold and The Happy. I love the absolute heck out of these.


The photo is lousy, it's so hard to capture the sparkliness. 

The background was created with a silver and a teal gelato and rubbed in with perfect pearl mist.
I want the sentiment to really stand out so decided to keep the card super simple. 

Next up is Mama Elephant - Make a Wish sentiment set. Again, totally in love!! The boldness of these sentiments is amazing. 



The background was created by swiping my mini distress ink across the page in rainbow order and then spritzing the whole thing with a perfect pearl mist. I cut it out using Mama Elephant - Femme Frames. 

Hope you're all having a fabulous day :-)

Crafting Crazy

So I have been crafting/card making like a mad man lately.. Unfortunately there is only so many hours in the day, so blogging took a backstep. 

Here are the photos of my recent creations, if you have any questions about products or techniques, please feel free to email me or comment below and I will answer them :-)

Sweet Baby Girl

I know my photos aren't that great, but I so wish I could capture the trueness of my creations. This card, for example, is so shimmery and sparkly. Adorbs. Lol

I used a couple new (new to me) Simon Says Stamp dies.. A2 Curved Edge and Baby, along with the coordinating Baby stamp set and the Drawn Hearts background stamp. The Kangaroo is from Lawn Fawn - Critters Down Under. 


Hope you're all having a fabulous day :-)

Can't Wait to Hug You!

I went to a craft show on the weekend and finally picked up some color bloom sprays.. Sooooo gorgeous.. If you haven't got any yet, don't wait any longer. Well worth your dollars! 

Anyways having a play with my sprays and stencils and fell in love with this background, found a Little Miss Muffet digital stamp I'd printed out awhile ago and decided to colour her to match. I also just received my HUGE Simon Says Stamp Mother's Day order and in it was the Hero Arts/OWH Lil Hoot stamp set, that's where the sentiment comes from. Of course my Mama Elephant Creative Cuts had to come out to play as well (stupidly addicted). 

Hope you love her as much as I do. 
Have a fabulous day :-)

MIA

I'm sorry I've been away for so long.. I promised myself I wouldn't let life get in the way, but alas, life has a stronger will than I! Lol
Between wedding planning, moving house, organizing two birthdays and my partner FIFO, doesn't leave much crafting time. 
My new craft room is enormous, I'm so thrilled. Once she's all set up and ready to go, I'll share some pics. Hopefully it won't be too much longer and I can get back into things. 
Hope everyone is doing well :-)

Showcase those Charms Baby!

My mission for this DT entry was to showcase some charms available over at Scrap Goodies, I think I have done an okay job. I have only just started my charm collection so this is my first time working with them. It was fun though, and thank god for glossy accents! THE BEST GLUE EVER! haha

I created this card for my mother-in-laws birthday coming up. I used Prima papers, Prima flowers, Prima crystals.. are we sensing a theme here? lol
Ooo I also got to use my new Prima distress tool, that some fabulous lady gave me for my birthday, it is every bit as cool as I though it was going to be, and GUESS WHAT?!?! Scrap Goodies have them in stock!!


This is also the first time I have played with texture paste.. very cool! I used a stencil and then sprayed some glimmer mist on it to give some colour and a hint of sparkle. Stencil, ribbon, charms, papers, crystals, flowers are all available from Scrap Goodies.. GO CHECK IT OUT! :-)

The one big flower is an I am Roses flower that I coloured with a Copic marker. The owl is made from the Stampin Up Owl Builder punch.


Did I showcase the charms baby?? lol
