Two pretty cards

I often create two cards that are the same or similar at one time. If you have all your crafty stuff out I figure you might as well.

I had some new music butterflies that I wanted to use so that gave me a starting point. I loved the music pp that they are made from.  I used a base of kraft and punched along the bottom edge. These cards fold upwards. I put some pink paper on the card on the inside so you could see a splash of colour through the punched area. I added some Kaisercraft music pp that is embossed. Very pretty. Then I chose to cut out some hearts and ink around the edges with pink.  I had previously created some flowers using rose tissue paper. I added those and some various pink flowers to finish my cards off.

I'm entering these in this month's anything goes challenge at Scrapbookit.

Thanks for looking and happy crafting.

Heartfelt Thanks card

Here is a pink card I have made to enter the Soul Scrappers' TTT18 challenge. The criteria I chose from the tic tac toe was crumpled paper, stripes and a butterfly.

Thanks for looking.

Kaisercraft cards

Wow, it's been a while since I entered the Kaisercraft challenge. I've used 100% Kaisercraft products to create these two cards.  The July 2016 is a sketch. Here it is.




I'm also entering these cards in the Archiscraps July challenge.  Here is their inspiration image.



The Kaisercraft Base Coat ranges are some of my absolute favourites and a perfect fit to meet both challenges.

Here are my two cards.

Challenge to make a project celebrating your own culture

At Unstampabelles this month we challenge you to make a project which celebrates your own native culture.

One of the most popular pastimes in Western Australia is fishing.  I've created a square card (to incorporate this month's twist) which features fishing. My Mum, Dad and two brothers all LOVE to fish. I like it too but don't go often any more. I used to love going out with Dad to fish when he had his boat. He swapped it for a caravan, which Mum prefers as she gets seasick. They are currently enjoying a warmer climate travelling in their van and more than likely doing some fishing.



Check out what the other Designers have done. Each Monday new inspiration is released. Why not enter?  Here is the prize you could win.

Two thank you cards

For CC52 challenge over at Soul Scrappers you have to use embossing folders on a card.

I chose to make two cards using two similar embossed thank you images.

The ribbon on each is velvet in a lovely sage green colour which I am really loving atm.

The flower is a tulle one with copper rhinestones by Webster's Pages. Just gorgeous.

These are nice, smallish cards which can be tucked in with a gift.

Music card

I have made an elegant card for the TTT17 challenge at Soul scrappers.

Hope you are having a wonderful day.  Thanks for stopping by.

My first Pocket Letter

I've noticed this pocket letter/page craze happening for a while now. I've always thought that it would be fun to make one.

June's challenge at Unstampabelles is to make one or make a gift holder. The twist is to include a crown.

I started out by deciding to use pink and green as my main colours. I collected lots of items that were these colours and selected a few sheets of complementary papers as well.  I already had the trading card sleeve to put them in as I keep my ATCs in them.

For the letter portion I made a kind of envelope using my WRMK envelope maker.  I had a pretty butterfly clothing label which I added two paper circles to with some embroidery thread as the closure. I used a small tag to write on (from Kaisercraft).

This is the finished product. I am quite pleased with it.

I hope you will consider joining in this month's challenge. Remember not to use any stamps on your entry in order to be in the running for this prize.
