Delicious Doodles, Saturated canary and Just Inklined card bundle

Good afternoon. Well it has been a beautiful day here in Australia- Anzac Day- where we remember the fallen heroes who made this wonderful country the free country we live in today.

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn;

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,

 we will remember them.

I have a few cards to share with you today.

Below was an easter card for a customer. She sent me a picture and asked me if I could "do something like that" so I can not take full credit for the design (although I did change it up a bit) but i can not direct you to the original source as I do not know who it was.  The image is Just Inklined called Meadow Rabbit.  I basically found an egg shape on the net and draw it on my DP and then cut it out with fancy scissors.  I ruffled some organza ribbon added a large bow and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Bundle of cards- Just Inklined, Delicious Doodles, Magnolia, Sylvia Zet Whimsy,

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by :-) My apologies again for my absence- I wouldn't have thought a new baby could make the days so much shorter :-) So I thought I would upload a few pic of some cards I have done at once :-)

Below is a golden Retriever image by Just Inklined.  It was made for a customer who wanted a white only card.  I needed to add a little copper colour to define the image, but mainly kept to white. I embossed plain white card and used white flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.  Die cuts are Spellbinders, Tim Holtz, Magnolia and Joy Crafts. The little dangle charm is handmade.

Below is an image by Delicious Doodles called spitfire.  I needed no colour for this image and kept the card quiet neutral for a man.  dies used are from Heartfelt Creations and Cheery Lynn. The layers and printed paper is from a Prima pad - Engraver collection.  I stained up some muslin cloth with distress inks and used charms from ebay and Nini's Things from facebook  

Below is Tilda with many hearts. I used Desert Sand ink by memento to create a no lines effect.  I used dies from Magnolia, La La Lands, Joy Crafts and Tim Holtz.  DP is Kaiser Craft pad called Lavender Haze. Flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts and charm is from Nini's Things. Sorry I did not keep copic colours.

Top Tip Tuesday Guest Designer male card Spitfire Delicious Doodles

Good morning! Thanks for stopping by.  I was lucky to be picked as Top Tipper over at Top Tip Tuesday a few weeks ago, and was asked to be guest designer for their challenge this week.  The challenge is to use metal faux or real! So I have used some metal charms and wait for it... I have a done a male card. I KNOW! shock horror lol!!! I have used "spitfire" from Delicious Doodles, and didnt have to colour it at all- super simple!  The sentiment is a combination using a Popcorn bear sentiment and a Whimsy notables 2 outer frame stamp and cut with the notables 2 die. I used DP from two Prima pads- called "Cartographer"  and "engraver".  Die cuts are using magnolia swirl die, Cheery Lynn Gears die and Heartfelt Creations Layered Elegant Swirl die.  The charms are from Nini's Things on facebook. 

Here's my top tip for the challenge: When distressing edges of your cardstock, ink the edges and distress whilst still wet.  Place the edge of what you are going to distress onto your table leaving about 1cm hanging over the edge of your table. Working from the centre of your cardstock and out to the corner, distress using your distressing tool. This way, your corners stay intact, and your paper will not get creases in it. The slight wetness left by the ink helps it “puff”up.

So now its your turn.... Pop over to Top Tip Tuesday and show us your metal! and while you're there, why not leave a tip to help us all craft a little easier and you could be the next Guest Designer?!

Saturated Canary "Princess Zella"

Good evening!!! Phew I've finally got some time to upload these cards I have had done for quiet some time! So sorry for my absence lately- things are just a whirlwind here... preparing for our baby (due 1st September) and also I have taken on a local monthly market called the handmade expo.  I do the Morayfield   one as it is close to home.  It doesn't make me millions, but keeps me out of trouble and pays for a copic or two :-)  Oh and it is a REALLY good reason to keep on crafting ('cause we all need a reason for that LOL!!!) 

Anywho, enough gabbling, tonight I have another Princess Zella image by the awesome Krista Smith from Saturated Canary.  I'm sorry it seems all I am doing is her images lately, but I just love them!!!  Onto the card.... 

I have used papers "Jaunt" by Authentique and "Kraft Notes" from Forever Friends pad.  The dies are MFT "large leafy flourish" and the corner die is a Cheery Lynn "Lace Corner Deco die".  Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts (wild rose, poppies, hip rosebud, gypsophila) and I have added some crystals that I stuck to some fishing line to the flower arrangement.  The organza ribbon is from my stash ad the happy birthday cake charm I got from ebay.

Saturated Canary Roses are red, Violets are Blue

Good morning. Here's one I did yesterday.  I coloured up my new Saturated Canary digi called "roses are red violets are blue".  I followed the sketch from Sketch and stash, only rotated it, BUT by rotating it to suit my image, I didnt have a vertical sentiment, so used a round one from LOTV.  I hope this still meets criteria. I have added loads of flowers from WOC.  and into the flowers I added some white glitter twirly things from the local $2 shop.  I made the charm quiet a while ago from pearls, rhinestone spacers, and a crystal bead I had from my jewellery making days.  The 2 design papers are from an Authentique pad called Fresh.  The dragon fly die cut is Cheery Lynn.  The craft card and ribbon from stash.

Magnolia Secretive Tilda and some exciting news

Good morning! WOW it has been forever since I've posted here! I have been super busy the last couple of months, but the best achievement I have made is falling pregnant with my third baby (second pregnancy)!!! We are so super excited and so are the kids.... due on the 1st of September, I am 14 weeks pregnant :-)  

I have been working on a couple of cards... this one is a pull out step card using a magnolia image called Secretive Tilda.  I like this design of card because you only use the one design paper.  I have used sheets from a Bo Bunning pad called Prairie Chic Collection. The flowers and chandeliers are WOC, the dragonfly is cut using a Cheery Lynn die.  The little butterflies are the punch outs from my Martha Stewart pop up butterfly edger.  The friendship stamp is from whimsy cut with the coordinating die.  the little banners are from a sheet of die cuts (sorry, not sure of brand).  I have tied off the banner with some divine twine

Hope you like it :-) Check out Southern Girls Challenge this week, they are asking to see banners or pennants on your creations.  Hope I have inspired some creativity in you. Stay safe XOX Tania

Saturated Canary Princess Zella

Hello. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year. I must apologise for not posting much lately, with Xmas and work, school holidays, time just gets away! And then Mozilla decided to play up so I had to download Google chrome so I could sign in! but I have managed a couple of cards today. I  went shopping at Saturated canary a couple of weeks ago, but have only just managed to colour up some of the lovelies today.  I hope to get them all coloured and up on my blog over the next week before I head back to work boohoo :-(

To start with, I have coloured the lovely Princess Zella with my copics.  I went for blues and aquas this time and had the perfect co-ordinating paper for both the colours and the image.  The DP is from "My Memories" and only have numbers- 154987 and 154982.  the first one has rain drops, which went perfectly with the drop of paint from Zellas paintbrush :-) 

I FINALLY recieved my magnolia swirl die after ordering it in November (9 weeks- record!!) so I have used it here and a Cheery Lynn butterfly die, the small butterflies are the off cuts from a Martha Stewart pop up butterfly edger.  I have used Divine Twine (new to my stash!) and I made the dangle charm. Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Plus the usual splish splash of stickles, dimensional magic and rhinestones :-) 

I would like to enter in the following challenges:

Sparkles Monthly challenge: anything goes

Wild Orchid Challenge: anything goes 

Simon Says Stamp Challenge: something new (new image, magnolia die, and twine)

Mo Manning Baby Fairy Flora plus tutorial on folding the card

Good morning.. sorry I have not made a post seems like forever!!! I have been shopping over at Mo's Digital Pencil and just had to buy this adorable little baby... isn't she cute?? She is called Baby Fairy Flora and you can get the digi version  here  OMG I love these images (I bought a few- so stay tuned!!).  I have done a different card, one I saw on a google search and then went and made my own dimensions.  I have used paper from Paper inklings, dies from cheery Lynn and Susanas Custom Art and Card.  I have flattened bead caps and glued dew drops onto them.
I have put this card on ebay along with some other stuff :-)

I will put directions with cutting and scoring dimensions of this card below if your interested.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Papertake Weekly: Flower Power 

One Stitch at a Time: Use a Digi

Divas By Design: Anything Goes
CMC Copic Challenge Group: All about Kids

So to fold this card, you will need a piece of cardstock 15cm X 25cm.  I find cutting the card first helps.  You are going to make two cuts.  each horizontal cut is going to be 5cm apart from each other.  The first cut is going to be 5cm from the top.... start cutting 5cm in from the edge.  cut 10cm long.  The second cut is going to be 5cm below that cut, only cutting from 10cm from the edge of the card again cutting 10cm long.  

You are going to score vertically.  In the top section you will score at 5cm scoring down to the start of the first cut, then score at 10cm, scoring from the top of the card and down to the start of the second cut (you will be scoring through the first cut).  Then score from the end of the first cut (this will be 15cm in- you can see why I find cutting first is easier!) down to the bottom of the card. Finally scoring from the end of the second cut down to the bottom of the card.

Use your bone folder to get crisp folds :0)

Hope this makes sense.

Til next time, Stay safe XOX Tania
