New In Colors

Hello there

Today's card is a birthday card using the new In Colors, Crumb Cake, whisper white card stocks along with the jumbo wheel Friendly Words & the stamp set Printed Petals.

Inside:
There is also a clear rhinestone brad in the middle of the flowers. I know that I have spelt "colors" the american way but that is how it is spelt in the IB&C so that's they way it must be!!!

Thanks for looking,
Jody

Upside down......

Hi all,

Today's card is one I made for my special little friend Flynn who has recently turned 4.

This is my first attempt at fancy water colouring & I really like the way it turned out. I'm pretty impressed with the way it looks & the little boy reminds me of Flynn with his brown curls.

Brocade blue & old olive card stock, watercolour paper, markers, aqua painter, silver brad, lots of tags die, brocade blue ribbon, tall tales dsp. Image from Kazzaz.

Thanks for looking & please leave a comment if you like what you see. It'd be nice to know that people are taking the time to look at my blog.

Thanks

Jody

Get well wishes......

One of my best friends recently had some major surgery on her head, so I thought this card was pretty appropriate (but only if you have a silly sense of humour!!!).

You can see the sparkle a little better with this close up. I have used a new stamp set called "To a Classic" & thought the banged up car was perfect as she gets my silly humour most of the time!!

Thanks for looking

Back from holiday.....

Well after a week in sunny Grantham in QLD visiting my family, my kids and myself have returned home to temps of a chilly 10-15 ˚C. The sun is shining beautifully but the winds are cold.
In an effort to warm myself up I am showing you a “z” fold card with the retired but still gorgeous Pink Flamingo DSP. I love the bright colours in the paper & by adding just a little Dazzling Diamonds to the cut out flower it puts a bit of a sparkle to everything.

Sorry the last pic is blurry!!

I have received my first order from the new IB&C & just don’t know where to start with it all. I have many cards & gifts to make but my mojo still seems to be on holiday!!!

Thanks for stopping by today & if you have any questions leave me a comment, I would love to hear from you.

Sparkling Grace

Today's posting is all about a lovely little flap card that I have made. It is using the Level 1 hostess set Organic Grace which will be retiring at the end of August.

The is the flap card closed. It is held together with white 1/4" grosgrain ribbon. I have used a number of punches to put behind the cut out flower. I used wide oval, large oval & 1 3/8" circle. I used my paper snips to cut perfectly around the flower which is stamped in pretty in pink & then the 2-way glue pen helps the dazzling diamonds to stay put. The patterned paper is from the Level 1 hostess set Patterns pack II.

Here is a close up of the "blingy" flower.

Inside the flap card. I have lined the inside with a piece of pretty in pink c/s & used my sizzlets lots of tags die to cut out the piece in Kraft at the bottom. Then I have stamped the sentiment in chocolate chip ink.

I have made a different version of this card with a pocket on the inside to hold a gift card but you could also use a little Dotto on the plastic gift card & just stick it down leaving it exposed.

Thanks for looking,

Jody

Congratulations.......

Hello

Today's card features the Friends 24/7 stamp set plus a greeting from one of the stamps in Fun & Fast Notes.

Using my stamp-a-ma-jig for perfect placement, I first stamped the "medallion" stamp with Rose red in the centre, then without cleaning my stamp I stamped into Basic Black ink then onto my card. I actually didn't know what a wonderful effect I would get but I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. I think on my next version of this card I will add a Rose Red c/s layer between the white & black & maybe emboss the Rose Red image.

I also used my Sizzlets "lots of tags" dies to cut out the little piece that the sentiment is on. I have used a silver brad to hold it in place. My next version I will use a Rhinestone brad for a bit more bling!! The words "congratulations" is from the cake stamp in the Fun & Fast Notes set, I have simply inked up only the words then stamped onto my tag.

I have prettied up the inside by stamping a lone "medallion" image just for a bit of interest. I don't normally decorate the insides of my cards but I thought on such a special card, why not!!

I have a friend in mind who this card would be perfect for as she recently got married.

Thanks for looking,
