His & Hers lesson 2.....

Woo hoo, I finally got around to having time to make some cards for lesson number 2. Jennifer showed us a kaleidoscope technique with a large leaf stamp which of course I did not have so found a butterfly wing in one of the Stamps of Life sets that I used instead. I used the same Fiskars birthday stamp on both cards and because I didn't have a background stamp I computer printed the dictionary print over the top on the masculine card. At first I wasn't that keen on the masculine one but it is growing on me.
 

More cards using free magazine stamps, these two are based on the design in the magazine itself and I ended up making two, nearly the same  to use up the oval cut out piece. The Fiskars lacy doubles interchangeable border punch got put to work and some tags cut with the Cricut.

 I decided to try the double stamp concept below which I have seen on several cards lately but I wasn't so happy with my result so will keep trying on that one.

 
I started off a scrap whisper over at Home and Scrapped in March and it has now come to and end and everyone has completed it. It managed to change quite a bit in the process but there was still some great layouts done. It was inspired by a digital layout I had seen in CK magazine a few months ago which I cannot put my hand on now. I liked the angled play with scraps so thought I would try it for myself and use up some of my never ending scrap pile.

 
Have a good weekend and Happy Craftin'........

Gosh Christmas is creeping up fast

I'm not real good at this blogging stuff, am I? I have really neglected it lately. We spent a lovely ten days in Cairns in the beginning of November which I am sure you will see in the layouts that I will be creating over the coming months and indeed in the last couple of Cybercrops. We stayed at Holloways Beach which is approx 10kms north of Cairns city and the beach is not like our South Aussie beaches where we have the soft hard packed sand, it was grainy and moved a lot under foot. In Cairns itself you cannot swim at the beach as the city has a more swampy beachfront which is muddy and tacky with lots of crabs. At this time of the year also, the waters are full of stingers so it is dangerous to swim in the sea unless in an enclosed netted off area for protection. Holloways beach had a small area to do this and the boys liked it but the current was strong and wavy and no sooner would they stand up than wave would come and dump them under again. It became a little much for them a

My Christmas cards with North Pole papers.....

Image
Last Christmas season I bought the Kaisercraft North Pole 6.5" x 6.5" paper pad as I really loved the colours of the papers. Of course I really didn't get a chance to use them much  because I had already made my cards earlier in the year so have been putting them to use in recent weeks for my cards for this Christmas Season. Inspired by Pinterest above.    A sketch from Paper Wishes for World Card Making Day was used for above and below.  Above is another Paper Wishes sketch for World Card Making Day and below is OWH sketch #236. Another Pinterest inspired card using a lace stamp from Kaisercraft - Oh so lovely set.   More Christmas cards for my own use made with Kaisercraft North Pole papers. #wcmd2015 @sctmagazine - Challenge #3 sketch challenge Mojo Monday sketch #334 And last but not least another sketch that I can't find the details for. Thanks for dropping by again, Happy Craftin'...........

The last of the scraps.....

Image
The last of the glossy magazine scraps with toppers and extra bits. These went to Combat Cards SA just before the close off of Christmas cards.   Stamps are from a Clear Impressions set with Creative Stamping magazine. Die-cut is from Stampin' Up.     These are based on some sketches but it has been a while and I can't remember which ones they were so I  won't be able to share that this time around. Thanks for dropping by ......
