Paper Nest Dolls - Safari Owen

Hi Everyone :-)

Today is video editing day for me, I'm falling so behind as always, it's so hard to get time to do voice overs at the moment, our house always seems to be full of noise lately :-)

I created this card using a Digital Image from Paper Nest Dolls called Safari Owen, he is currently (at the time of this post and video going live) being offered for free which is awesome.

Why is he for free? He is free to raise awareness for Australia and the horrible weather we have had lately, since November we have had drought, fires, hail and flooding.. the only thing we haven't had where I live is snow.. and we won't as where I am in NSW it doesn't get cold enough for snow. The weather is just miserable and we cannot wait to go back to normality.

I had so much fun colouring this image up and putting the card together, when I first seen the image I envisioned the guys/girls who work at Australia Zoo and how they wear Khaki, so those are the kids of colours I went for when colouring. I also used my Copic Multiliner to write Zoo on his pocket :-)

  

The paper pad I used is from Kaisercraft and is called Australiana, this is one of my all time favourite paper pads at the moment, I love all the patterns in it and all the awesome sentiments.

I used my EK Success Cutterbee Scissors to fussy cut the image out leaving a nice white border around the outside.

I cut down the "I made it to Sydney" logo using my Ek Success Scissors and worked my card around that.

I used American Crafts Cardstock to mat my patterned papers and also added a doily in. You can get away with using a doily on a male card if you use it in the right way, I love the way it worked on my card today.

The leaves are from Kaisercraft's Gum Leaves dies, I ran them through my Big Shot just using some green papers, I then ran them through a second time in a darker green.\

  

I used some of the leftover white blending card from the image in my EK Success Star Confetti Punch, it's a great way to use up leftover papers.

At this stage I hadn't stuck anything down yet, I pulled out my good old Tim Holtz Ranger Mini Distress Inks and grabbed the Vintage Photo, I used a mini ink blending tool to carefully add some ink to the outside of everything except the doily and the image. I love the way it finished everything off.

I adhered everything to a Couture Creations Card Base using Helmar Acid Free Adhesive - this is my go to for Liquid Adhesive.

I used all the same patterned papers etc and decorated the inside of the card to match.

Finally once I had my card complete, I pulled out some of my Tonic Studios Nuvo Crystal Drops in Dirty Bronze and Woodland Green and added a few drops around the card and on the leaves.

  

I hope you have enjoyed my post today, if you have any questions feel free to send me a message or contact me via facebook (all links can be found below).

Whimsy Stamps - PC Grant

Hi Everyone,

Today I am sharing with you one of the new Whimsy Stamps images from the Digital Release, this is Grant from the Pollycraft collection.

I printed the image out onto X-Press It Blending Cardstock using my Brother Laser Printer.

I ran the image through my Sizzix Big Shot using a Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle die, the top of the balloon was going to be cut off so I carefully fussy cut it using my EK Success Cutterbee scissors, when I ran the die through I carefully slipped it underneath so it wouldn't get cut off.

I coloured the image up using Copic Markers, I used my Colorless Blender to add some details to the image.

I pulled out an old Whimsy Stamp set called Party Mini Letter Seals, I stamped out the birthday sentiment onto some scrap X-Press It Blending Card using Memento Tuxedo Black and a Lawn Fawn acrylic block. The sentiment needed to be matted so I ran a Lawn Fawn Circle die with some American Crafts Cardstock matted it and adhered it to the image using American Crafts Foam dots.

The patterned papers are from The Craft Stall Mini Stack, and I matted them using American Crafts Cardstock.

I adhered everything to a Couture Creations card base using Helmar Acid Free liquid Adhesive.

Finally I adhered some leftover stars from EK Success Star Confetti Punch, I used some Wink Of Stella Clear to the balloons and the present to finish them off.

I hope you have enjoyed my post today, if you have any questions feel free to send me a message or contact me via facebook (all links can be found below).

Whimsy Stamps - Love Australia Koala

Good Morning All,

Crissy Armstrong from Whimsy Stamps has designed this gorgeous Digital Stamp Set called Love For Australia, all sales from this stamp set will do donated to WIRES who look after all our injured animals here in Australia. As you will probably know we have had some pretty terrifying bushfires here over the past couple of months, causing loss of life, homes and loss of wildlife and their homes.

We are very grateful to Whimsy Stamps for their assistance in our fundraiser efforts.

This is a super cute stamp set and I hope you all have fun creating with it.

I have used the Koala from the set plus some of the leaves.

 

I printed the images out onto X-Press It Blending Cardstock and coloured them up using Copic Markers, I fussy cut the leaves using my EK Success Cutterbee Scissors. 

The sentiment is also from the Digital Stamp set, I trimmed it down using my Tim Holtz Guillotine then using my Cutterbee scissors to banner the end of it. 

I used a Spellbinders Labels Eighteen die to run the image through my Sizzix Big Shot then added the grass in with my Copic Markers. 

Using a 12x12 Kaisercraft paper pad called Australian I cut down some of the tin shed type paper, matted into onto some American Crafts Cardstock using Helmar Acid Free Liquid adhesive. From the same paper pad I cut down the sheet with all the logos etc and used the New South Wales map, which I love as it is where I am from.

  

I added some Tonic Studios Nuvo Crystal Drops in Dark Walnut, I love the way everything is flowing together.

I also used all the same papers, the leaves are from Kaisercraft and I cut them out of some green American Crafts Cardstock.

I cut another one of the banners from the sentiment sheet to put on the middle of the card.

Finally I adhered some more of the Nuvo Drops and that finished off the inside of my card.

  

I hope you have enjoyed my post today, if you have any questions feel free to send me a message or contact me via facebook (all links can be found below).

Paper Nest Dolls - Koala With Heart

Hi Everyone,

A few days ago I shared with you a stamp that Paper Nest Dolls is currently offering for free at their shop to raise awareness for Australia and the animals injured during the fires. This stamp Koala with Heart is another one of their freebie images to raise awareness.

I printed the image onto X-Press It Blending Cardstock using my Brother Laser Printer, I then proceeded to colour him up using Copic Markers.

I also used my Uni-Ball Signo White Gel pen to add some details to the image and finish it off.

I ran the image through my Sizzix Big Shot using Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle dies, I also ran the next size circle die through using some American Crafts Cardstock. I layered them together using Helmar Acid Free liquid adhesive.

I stamped out a sentiment from Taylored Expressions Simple Strips stamp set and ran it through my Big Shot using the matching dies, I just used Memento Tuxedo Black for this.

The patterned papers are from Crate Paper Little Boy Blue Paper Pad, unfortunately I couldn't find this paper pad to link it up for you, I know I have had it for a little while.

I also matted the patterned papers using some white and some more of the same blue card stock from American Crafts.

I finally adhered all the layers to a Couture Creations Card Base, I purchase these in bulk with matching envelopes.

I decorated the inside of the card to match using some leftover of the patterned paper pieces.

I hope you have enjoyed my post today, if you have any questions feel free to send me a message or contact me via facebook (all links can be found below).

Mo's Digital Pencil - Future Rock Star

Hi Everyone,

A friend of our family and his wife are expecting there first baby in the next few weeks and I made them a crochet blanket, all I needed was a card to go with it.

I had already purchased this Digital Stamp months ago ready to make this card, reason being is because this image had jumped at me and I new it was perfect for my friend.

My friend is Guitar mad, and so this image was of course perfect, I even stalked his Insta trying to find photos of his guitar as I couldn't remember what it looked like :-) I wanted to get everything correct right down to the last detail.

I printed the image out onto X-Press It Blending Card using my Brother Laser Printer, then proceeded to colour the image up using Copic Markers.

  

I wanted to run the image through my Big Shot using Spellbinders Labels Eighteen, I knew it was not going to completely fit into the largest of the dies, so I placed the die over the top of the image and used a mechanical pencil to trace around the die, this way I could see exactly where the die was going to cut. I then used my EK Success Cutterbee scissors to fussy cut the left hand side of the guitar. I then erased the pencil lines. When I run the die through my Big Shot I slide the die underneath the part that I don't want cut off and run it through.

I used patterned papers from Crate Paper Little Boy Blue 6x6 Paper Pad, I still wanted to give the card a babyish feel to it. I matted the patterned papers using American Crafts Cardstock.

I also cut down the little H is for Horse Block, the baby is a little boy and his name is going to be Hudson so I was thought this would be a cute little addition. I used my Cutterbee Scissors to cut it out and banner the end of it.

The centre piece of card I ran through my Sizzix Big Shot using a Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle die, I used the outside piece for the inside of my card.

I added Tonic Studio Nuvo Crystal Drops in Neon Blue Crush and Liquid Mercury, the blue is one of the Glow In The Dark line, can't wait to see it glowing in the babies room.

  

I am super excited for my friend to receive my little package of card and crochet baby blanket.
