Happy Father's Day

It's Father's Day here in Australia, and we are celebrating the Fathers and Father Figures in our lives. I CaSeD Sharon Burkert and made this card for my Dad and Father-in-law.

I used my Sponge Brayers to sponge my circle in Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Rich Razzleberry and then stamped the tree from Rooted in Nature on top in Black Stazon. I've also stamped some other leaves from the set in the background in Versamark ink. I don't have the co-ordinating framelits (yet!!), so my leaf die is from the Flourish thinlits dies. I've also popped on some Copper thread. I embossed my sentiment in black to make it stand out a little more.
Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there!

CCMC525 Country Home

 

It's Thursday, and that means it's Challenge time again over at www.createwithconnieandmary.com.

This week is a colour challenge, and these are the colours we had to work with:

 

I'm multitasking again this week and I used these beautiful colours to make a special card for another special friend's birthday this month. I have another Sneak Peek for you too. This stamp set is called Country Home. I've also used the Tin Tile embossing folder again, and I couldn't resist the Frost White Shimmer Paint again too! I've coloured this image with inks and Blender Pen. I took a notch out of the corners using my 1/2" Circle Punch. For an embellishment I've used a Galvanised Clip (coming soon!) and a little piece of Gorgeous Grape Mini Striped ribbon. My sentiment is from Itty Bitty Greetings.

I hope you like my card. Check out what the other talented stampers have come up with HERE. Don't forget you can play along over on the facebook page!

Nature's Poem

The Nature's Poem Suite is my go-to for masculine cards. That's not to say the nature-inspired images don't work for women too, because they definitely do. It's just that masculine cards can be a little tricky, and this suite ticks all the boxes.
Here I've used the Nature's Poem Designer Series Paper and also the Rooted in Nature stamp set. To embellish it a little more (who says men can't have embellishments?), I've used some Nature's Twine and Leaves Trinkets.
This would make a great Father's Day card!

Graceful Glass

Although it doesn't look like it, there's barely any stamping on this card. The beautiful stained glass panel is part of the 6"x6" Graceful Glass Vellum. I have coloured the reverse side with markers. The result is soft and pretty. To make the colours really glow, I adhered the panel to a piece of Whisper White cardstock.
TIP: so that the adhesive doesn't show, lightly sponge the glue onto the Whisper White cardstock, and then place the vellum on top and smooth it on gently.
The only stamping on this card is the sentiment, from the Painted Glass stamp set.
The colours I've used here are Lovely Lipstick, Pineapple Punch and Basic Black.

CCMC524 First Frost

 

It's Thursday, and that means it's Challenge time again over at www.createwithconnieandmary.com.
This week is a sketch challenge, and this is the sketch we had to work with:

I have a busy week this week, getting ready for my team weekend retreat. So, I multitasked and used this week's challenge to make a special card for a special friend's birthday.
I'm playing with some new products again this week, from our upcoming Holiday Catalogue. The stamp set is called First Frost, and it contains beautiful watercoloured-look images.

• I've using the matching Frosted Bouquet dies on this card too, in Vellum and Sparkle Glimmer Paper.
• I've also used a new embossing folder called Tin Tile. I know I'm going to be using this one a lot!
• Everything on this card is sparkly, thanks to a liberal dose of Frost White Shimmer Paint (also coming soon!). I've used a sponge to lightly apply it.
• My colour scheme is Whisper White and Blueberry Bushel (one of this year's new In Colors). I love how crisp these two look together
• I've also used some products from our Annual Catalogue - Tufted Embossing Folder, Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon, Stitched Shapes dies and sentiment from Picture Perfect Birthday.

I hope you like my card. Check out what the other talented stampers have come up with HERE. Don't forget you can play along over on the facebook page!

Pretty Petal Promenade

I made these cards for some special team member's birthdays last month. I used the stunning Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper, and a few pretty embellishments. I made each one a little different to personalise them. I also sponged each doily (on the reverse side) to co-ordinate.
Hope you're having a lovely week!
