Sweet Sunday Sketch #199

Happy Sunday!!! It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch, I hope you'll be able to join us!

So, this week has seen my small Flossie officially graduate from Kindy ( here in Oz that's the first stage of schooling here, then we have Pre-Primary and then into Yr 1 etc) and with that and the last day for my Big Flossie looming ( Wednesday actually), teachers gifts and cards have been a priority. Today's card was on of the Thank you cards, and we gave this one to the beautiful lady who runs our school canteen. Here's my card:-

And here is the sketch:-

I've used a little creative license with this one, just a little. I couldn't get the three little embellishments to work with the stamp I'd used, so I opted to use a gorgeous, vintage doily instead... It's still passes, Right!?

The colours I used are Crisp Cantaloupe, Bermuda Bay and Baked Brown Sugar. The stamp set is Million and One. I've embossed the sentiment is Early Espresso Embossing Powder and added my THREE ;-) embellishments around the sentiment ;-). Hope that's ok Boss ;-) (Karen G) hehehe

Sweet Sunday Sketch #196

Happy Sunday and welcome to another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge!!! All sorts of drama today!!.. Firstly I couldn't find the sketch that Karen had sent to me, which meant I couldn't make my card until one of the other lovely Sweet Sunday Stampers posted their card becaaauuuseee... by the time I'd actually realised I couldn't find the sketch, most of them would've been in bed or close to it!!.. Just a teeny tiny problem with me being on the opposite side of the world ;-). Never fear, I found it, I've made a card and here it is:-

And the long lost sketch for you to follow along with:-

I've used the colours from the Birthday Basics DSP pack for  my card today. Smokey Slate, Basic Gray, Crisp Cantaloupe and Pool Party. The stamp set I used is from Chalk Talk, and I stamped the image onto Whisper White Card Stock using Jet Black Stazon Ink, then used my Blender Pen to colour the "BIG" in Pool Party. I also used the Chalk Talk Framelits to cut the other images on the tag. I added some Pool Party Seam Binding and a little bit of the This and That Washi Tape.

Sweet Sunday Sketch #195

Happy Sunday!!! It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch, so I hope you'll be able to join in on the fun!!

Karen has designed another FUN sketch for us to play with, and here is my card for this week:-

 

 And here is the sketch:-

A beautiful friend of mine is having her Baby Shower TODAY!!, So I wanted to make a card for her... YES, it's a GIRL!!!. I've used Pink Pirouette, Pool Party and Crumb Cake as my colour base (Thank you for the nudge Color Coach!!) Of course, I couldn't make a card at the moment without Burlap Ribbon (LOVE!!!) and some sparkliness, today in the form of Glitter Paper!!!. The background of the label on the front of the card is embossed in Pool Party embossing powder and the label is from the Chalk Talk Framelits, which of course coordinate with the Chalk Talk Stamp Set, which is where the delightful image is from.

Some Pool Party Seam Binding and a Designer Very Vintage Button, finish this sweet card off perfectly!

I made a quick little tag to go with it and a GORGEOUS PINK Bow using the NEW Gift Bow Bigz Die!! LOVE it!!!

Sweet Sunday Sketch #194 - Merriest Christmas Wishes to you!

Hello!!.. I'd love to say Happy Sunday, but it's not!!...My apologies for the lateness of my Sweet Sunday Sketch post. It's been a challenging couple of months here, with a few little, niggley health issues, and while I'm still trying to get on top of them, I shall not let them rain of my stampin' parade!!!.

So, although late, here is my card for this fortnights sketch challenge:-

And here is the sketch for you to follow along with, if you haven't already:-

I had fun with this one and even rebelled a tad and flipped the sketch! I know.. such a rebel, right!?  I decided to keep on a Christmas card roll, and create another to add to my stash. I've used Crumb Cake and CHerry Cobbler as my main colour combo and added some Old Olive in the form of Markers and Washi Tape!. I also used some of the GORGEOUS Burlap Ribbon (LOVE) and the stamp set is Tag It!, oooh and a little bit of Gorgeous Grunge in the background... did you see it there!?

I've decided to get a start on some Christmas Cards :D.

Also, some of the delightful Cherry Cobbler Ribbon (also in the Seasonal Catalogue AND a SERIOUSLY GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS Frosted Finishes Embellishment... SERIOUSLY GORGEOUS!!!

The sentiment is from the Merry Little Christmas stamp set, YEP, you guessed it, from the New Seasonal Catalogue, and I've embossed that in Black Embossing Powder. I think I would've preferred it in perhaps Silver or Espresso, but I don't have those YET... I think I'll have to get some :D

Sweet Sunday Sketch #191

Hello!!!!... Firstly, let me apologise for my low profile of sorts of late. My beautiful little family and I have all been fighting a few nasty bugs for the past few weeks and they've left us all doing pretty much nothing but trying to recover fully. I think I can safely say, that we are well and truly back to normal... well almost! NOW... it's Sunday!! Which means... it's Sweet Sunday Sketch time!!.. I've missed playing with my gorgeous Sweet Sunday Stampers.

Here is my card for this weeks sketch:-

 

And here is the sketch for you to play along with:-

I've used some of the NEW In-Colors for this card... I have to say, they could quite possibly be my most favourite In-Color, colours!. Strawberry Slush, Costal Cabana and Crisp Cantaloupe are the colours I've used. The stamp set I used is Yippee-Skippee, and I've LOVED this saying since the millisecond I saw it at the South Pacific Convention in May. It ALWAYS makes me smile!! I've used my Stampin' Write Markers to colour the image. I've added some Silver Glimmer Paper, Victoria Crochet Trim and some Strawberry Slush Ruffled ribbon as well as a Designer Vintage Faceted button with some White Bakers Twine which I coloured Strawberry Slush!! Oooh... I added some yummy Vanilla Smooch Spritz too.... because everything is better with sparkles, right!?

One more thing before I go.... next Saturday ( 24th August) I have the pleasure of presenting at the Perth leg of the Stampin' Up! My Digital Studio - Make a Statement Tour!! If you live in the Perth area I'd LOVE to see you there. It's going to be an awesome day ( what Stampin' Up! event isn't awesome!!) and if you'd like to come pop on over here and register! All  the details are there and for the teeny, tiny registration fee of $35 (which includes the MDS software!!!) you can see first hand just how exciting a SU! event is!!! Oh, and I'd LOVE to see you too!

I actually had heaps of fun putting this card together. It's the first time I've had a chance to sit down and my stampin' desk and create something with my NEW goodies, AND... I can't wait to sit down again soon and do more.

Here is my card for today's sketch:-

And here is the sketch for you to play along with:-

When I went to Convention (back in May!), all the attendees were lucky enough to receive this stamp set ' Really Good Greetings'. I absolutely adore it and am so pleased with how this turned out.

I've used some of the new and GORGEOUS colours... Crisp Cantaloupe, Baked Brown Sugar and Costal Cabana ( and thanks to an equally gorgeous stampin' sister, everytime I type, think or use Costal Cabana, I burst into song!!!.. AND now it would be quite likely, you are too!! ;-).

I've also used my Polka Dot embossing folder, my  Fancy Fan embossing folder, Delicate Designs embossing folder and Needlepoint Border embossing folder ... Goodness! The Large Scallop Edgelit got a little play too.

One of the GORGEOUS Designer Very Vintage buttons adorns the bottom of the greeting also.

Sweet Sunday Sketch #186

Hello!!!! Long time no hear, right??? My apologies for that. I'm back this week though for a NEW Sweet Sunday Sketch.

Here is my card for this week:-

 

And here is the sketch for you to play along with:-

Sooo... this card didn't quite work out the way I'd hoped... it looked much better in my head than it seemed to turn out... hmmmm... perhaps I'll play a little more with it and see if I can get it to, well work out a little better.

I've used Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Calypso Coral and GUmball Green as my colour combo ( I took some inspiration for that COMBO from the NEW This and That set in the upcoming NEW SU! Catalogue!!). The stamp set is Summer Silhouettes and the sentiment is from my Create a Cupcake set. I've also used a NEW set Gorgeous Grunge, it will be in the NEW Catalogue which is due to be released on the 1st July!!! Gorgeous Grunge allows you to be perfectly imperfect with splotches, lines and drops!!.. LOVE that... my crafting OCD for perfect placement LOVES that too .. hehe.

Sweet Sunday Sketch #184

I'm just sneaking in here... possibly unnoticed, quite likely a little noticed with my Sweet Sunday Sketch, which should've be here last week, but, well... it's a BIG bit late... SORRY!!

I've been battling a cold and a bout of Laryngitis this past week, so haven't had much of a chance to sit down and type my post.

I won't ramble on, so here is my card for the last this weeks sketch ;-) :-

 

And here is Karen's fabulous sketch:- (I'm pretty sure, you've already seen it, BUT, just in case ;-)

I've use Island Indigo, Tangerine Tango and Whisper White as my colour combo and kept this one pretty Clean and Simple... I did have a little helper with this one ( my little 4yr old) so don't look too closely at the off centred centre piece... oops.

Be sure, if you haven't already, to pop on over to the other Sweet Sunday Stampers for some AMAZING inspiration:-

Sweet Sunday Sketch #183

Happy Sunday!!! It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch!!. I hope you can join us and play along.

You might want to sit down for this one!!!.. I've gone all crazy this week and actually made a BOYS card!!! YEP!!!! A MALE CARD!!! Not a drop of pink to be seen... not ONE!! I did manage to squeeze a little something special onto it, but I'll let you figure that one out ;-)

So, here is my 'NON- PINK, Male card:-

And here is the sketch for you to play along with:-

I've used Soft Suede, Early Espresso and Crumb Cake as my colour base and added a little colour with a Baja Breeze tie. The stamp set is Best Dad Ever. I really need to use that one more. It's such a fun and easy stamp set to use to create BOY cards!! ;-) Who'd have thunk it! I've added a few little extras... some Linen Thread, Button Boutique Button and some Rhinestones (I told you I squeezed something special onto it!! ) ;-)

All of the goodies on my card can be purchased ONLINE at my Stampin' Up! Shop!!! EXCITING!!.. Click on the SHOP NOW button at the top of my blog if you see something you need!!

Sweet Sunday Sketch #181

Happy Sunday!!! Happy EASTER!!! I hope you and your families have a wonderful Easter. It's time of course for another Sweet Sunday Sketch. I hope you can find some time to play along with us.

Here is my card for this weeks challenge:-

And here is the sketch for you to play along with:-

I'm not goint to lie, this sketch had me in a panic. Those of you that know me, know that I most definitely struggle with TILTED panels. They kinda freak me out... I don't know what it is, apart from the non straightness of it, but TILTED panels take a lot of looking at and thinking and, and, well you get it, right!?

Soooo... I decided to make the whole 'tilted' experience this week an easy one and use a piece of Designer Series Paper, More Amoré, to be exact and use the delightful phrase that is printed on the equally delightful DSP as the main part on the abovementioned TILT!!. Genius, don't you think? ;-)

The colours are all based on the More Amoré DSP and I've added some Rhinestones to bling it up just a tad. The little banner was made using my  Hearts a Flutter Framelits.

Did I mention that you can get ALL of the goodies I used to make this card from my ONLINE store!!?? So head on over if there is anything you need :D.

Happy Sunday!!! It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch, so I hope you can join us!!

This week some beautiful friends of ours had a SWEET Baby Girl!!! So, I've made today's card for her!!.. I can't wait to snuggle her.

Here's my card for this week:-

And here is the sketch for you to play along with:-

I've used the gorgeous  More Amoré Speciality DSP and the equally delightful Happy You (Hostess Set) Stamp set for the image. I watercoloured the baby using Rasperry Ripple, Primrose Petal and Blush Blossom. The ribbon is the GORGEOUS two tone ribbon from the current seasonal catalogue and I've also used the Large Scallop Die and  Textured Impressions 'Delicate Design' Embossing Folder.

Happy Sunday!!! It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch. This one is FUN! So I hope you can join us in the challenge.

I must apologise for being AWOL the past few weeks. I've been REALLY, REALLY AWOL!!!.. Goodness. My little girls have both started school, one in Yr 1 and my baby in Kindy! We've been busy adjusting to the CRAZY school, afterschool activity schedule, which is really CRAZY. On top of that I've been struck by a HORRIBLE head cold, which has really hit me for a six, it's still lingering, so fingers crossed it's gone by the week.

Anyhoo... I did, FINALLY, get a chance to sit at my desk and stamp. It's a new concept this past few weeks, I haven't sat at my desk, computer or heaven forbid, pulled out a stamp for about 2 weeks!!!

Our very own VICKI, came up with today's sketch, and I have to say, I LOVED it!!!!

Here is my card for today:-

And here is the sketch for you to play along with:-

I'm so lucky to have been offered the opportunity to have some of my cards go for sale in a local Card and Invitation store. This month we've been asked to create LOTS of baby cards, soooo, I thought I'd start with one for today's sketch too.

I've used my Sale-a-bration set Patterned Occasions, isn't that Elephant adorable!!?? The sentiment is from my Teeny Tiny Verses and is stamped in Midnight Muse. The other bits and pieces are Midnight Muse DSP, Baja Breeze DSP and some Midnight Muse Satin stitched ribbon.

Sweet Sunday Sketch #177

Happy Sunday!!!! Hope you've had a wonderful weekend. It's time of course for another Sweet Sunday Sketch, so I hope you can join us.

Here is my card for this weeks challenge:-

And here is the sketch for you to play along with:-

I've been wanting to try out the "Chalkboard" technique that I've seen on various blogs, so that's just what I did this week... try it out :D

I've used some of the DIVINE papers from the NEW Seasonal Catalogue More Amore Specialty DSP... GORGEOUS!!!! And some of the equally DIVINE Two Tone Ribbon. The stamp set is a Sale-a-bration set called Vintage Verses ( YOU can earn this one for FREE!!!), and I've used Versamark ink and White Embossing powder on the image. Some White Craft Ink to make the Black Cardstock seem Chalkboardy and that's it. It's a really simple technique, VERY effective and FUN!! Can't wait to play around with it some more .

A Sale-a-bration to Behold!!

Be sure to check out my other post today with all the deets on SALE-A-BRATION... you can find it right HERE! :D

As promised, I'm BACK!!! How do we top the excitement of Sale-a-bration??? Well, we gather together with a wonderful group of Stampin' Chicks and throw a Soireé of all Soireés'!! And when we do that, we not only celebrate the AMAZING Sale-a-Bration brochure, which in itself is worthy of a party, BUT, we add to it a BRAND NEW Seasonal Catalogue which is sooooo divine, I can barely contain myself!! Seriously, you'll be swooning and oohing and aahhing and possibly even drooling a little over the DIVINENESS that fills this little beauty!!

So, here is YOUR invitation to join US in a Celebration of Sale-a-bration AND Seasonal Catalogue AMAZINGNESS:-

 

Isn't that invitation divine? My gorgeous stampin' bestie (Sarah Klass) designed it!!.. She's AMAZING!!! Oh, she'll be there too!!! :D

 

There will be FUN, NEW PRODUCTS, FUN, STAMPIN' and quite possibly a lot of SQUEALING!!

 

Now that you're coming ;-), all YOU need to do is to send me an email and let me know how many spots you'd like to reserve, I can then send you my account details so you can transfer your entry fee and secure your spot! Sound good!!???

 

It really will be FUN!!

 

Thanks for stopping by.
