Coffee date?

Hi, hope you guys are online frolicking among all the CHA peeks and competitions today:-) I was up until 1 a.m last night doing just that!! ( it's the time difference that's a killer!!)

So I woke up early morning to make this card just before I get to my other activities for the day..

I am submitting this card to the Hero Arts July challenge since its to do with food.. I used their 'Have a Donut' set, I love this set but never gets used as often as I would like.. Time to put an end to that right away!

So here goes..






Today I took the picture outside since my light which I photograph with is broken:-(

Here's the close-up of the window, I stamped the inside of the card with the donuts and the ledger stamp,

As you can see, my Cuttlebug makes a guest appearance on all my new projects these days, here I used it to create a little window and cut out the slightly larger acetate circle that I adhered inside with some glossy accents.. (nothing like a good smear of glossy accents to adhere transparencies and acetate since its hardly noticeable..)

Supplies:

Hero arts stamp: Have a Donut, Ledger Cling stamp

Stampendous sentiment stamp

Distress ink Mustard seed, Wild honey and Barn door also used a bit of Shabby shutters for the card base

Clear embossing powder

Memento Ink in London fog and Tuxedo black

Basic grey Lime rickey paper

Acetate sheet

Cuttlebug

Permanent marker in black

Thanks for dropping by today:-)

Venice in one page

I did some serious scrap booking during this weekend, I have more cards also that I entered for challenges which I will post later, but for now here is a layout that I did for 'stamping on a page' challenge. Since I promised before, that I would do a page which does not include my dogs, here it is, Its our honeymoon in Italy..

I used the Hero arts Cling dots and the La Lettre stamp for this page. It gave the most amazing vintage feel to it.. I stamped the dots with Versamark and embossed in gold.

I used Pink Paislee- Queen Bee for this layout, seems to be my 'go to' paper this week!! The title was made by stamping with a Heidi Swapp set I bought from Etsy. I used Olive ink by Colourbox for this.

Flowers are cut out from Queen bee paper, I have also inked the corners with Tea Dye Distress ink.

Can you see the faint lettering that overlaps the dots? Isn't it gorgeous? I wiped off the stamp before I stamped so that some areas would be missing.. gives a lovely aged look.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a great NSD!

More Mothers day!

Hi again, been totally inspired to make mothers days cards.. woke up with a head full of ideas:-) Don't you just love days like that?

I made this to enter the Hero Arts challenge, I wanted to do something with more dimension and layers this time around.. I used two background stamps, the Ledger cling stamp and the La Letter wood block stamp. The blue background is from Pink Paislee, finally put it to good use:-)

I stamped the blue base with gold ink with the letter stamp twice, this is to cover the larger area used here.. the woodblock stamp is quite small for a project like this.

I cut out the flowers from the Pink Paislee papers and set them aside. I needed butterflies to give some texture, so I bought the Flutterbies Digital set by Hero Arts for this. They are soo awesome! I printed two whole sheets in different sizes for later. They are real value for money:-) I Coloured them in with my Copics.

I stamped a few tiny bees and butterflies from a Prima stamp onto the blue background. Cut out a piece of creamy coloured card stock and tore off the top edge, stamped the sentiment and embossed in gold embossing powder I picked up from my visit to Thailand. After embossing I stamped the Ledger. I then distressed with some Tea Dye Ranger ink.

With my finger nail I distressed the edges of the blue base card to look a bit rugged. I have seen Jennifer Mcguire do this and it works wonderfully, she has some great tips on her blog check it out, its on my blog list.


So here is the card,
