some creations!

2008-11-30T06:33:00.004+10:00

wow, life has been hectic lately! i havent had much time for cards, (i have made heaps of layouts though!) but i have managed a few!

heres a really simple one, using the leftovers from an aussle i did for the scrap heap..this one would be gret for a male card too..easy

i made this cute little card for my friend who recently had her bubba girl, i just love the way it turned out...it is so cute!

and another one using scraps from a layout. i used a penny black stamp on it, cant see it that well, but the dress is very sparkly irl.

these ones i did for a card swap (over at the scrap heap)

using only scraps again, i kept them simple cause i had to mass produce! lol ..hope you like them girls!!

no title today!

2008-10-20T16:08:00.003+10:00

it was a hard decision...but i think i made the right one.....i have resigned from the dutch dare design team :-( with bub on the way, and being asked to join another team (more info on other blog!) i was worried i might not be able to keep up with everything! i loved creating the cards for them...but now i am concentrating more on my layouts again.....but dont panic!!! i will still try to make cards every now and then see??! (dont think i have shared these yet!)

so if i dont update for awhile...you know i am flat out!!!!!

till next time

happy birthday luke!

2008-09-29T10:36:00.000+10:00

as promised

2008-07-16T07:02:00.000+10:00

as promised, here is the other card i made to match the one from yesterday.

how cute is that bird! all supplies are exactly the same as yesterdays. i think i am finally getting the hang of this photographing items thing! my lightbox (aka a big piece of white cardstock!) works beautifully.

so now for todays challenge -

i challenge you to use brown and pink on a creation (doesnt have to be a card...maybe an otp? or a layout? or maybe yes to a card?!)

have fun with it!

Pink and green card

2008-07-15T18:49:00.000+10:00

here is a card I made for a swap over at "first Swap Blog". its for the pink and green swap, and now that the recipient has received it i can share!

the paper i used for this was rescued from the 50 cent pile at my local scrap shop, the pink and green card was rescued from my scrap box! i used my hello birdie stamps for the sentiment and the branch, the sparklies came with the stamps (bargain!) the little owl was my bargain of the week! a full sheet of cute owls , birds, and leaves for......guess how much......$1.95!!!!! so all up this card cost next to nothing! but it is just so cute..i had to make another one just for me seeing that this one was jetting over to holland so stay tuned for that one (it has a cute bird insted of an owl!)

so thats it for today, but before i go...a challenge just for you! (well this is a challenge blog! lol)

i challenge you to make a card using a scrap of patterned paper that you have had for ages ...the longer the better

have fun

luv c

one bit!

2008-07-11T06:36:00.002+10:00

todays challenge over at DD was Use only 1 piece of patterned paper. You can use different colors of cardstock, background stamps, embellishments, cuttlebug, etc.
(This theme is from Carmen at Card-art. She sponsoring this weeks challenge)
heres my card sample -

i have been wanting to do this sort of card for awhile now, and i really like the way it turned out! i have also used some delish rubons that i totally forgot i had!
have a great day
luv c

2008-07-04T06:30:00.001+10:00

todays challenge over at DD http://dutchdare-cardchallenges.blogspot.com was to use this sketch as inspiration (cant get the pic to load up, so if you want to see it...head over to DD!)
heres my attempt at this one -

i finally got around to using the pp that matches the stamp - yay!!
have a great day!
luv c

2008-07-01T06:45:00.000+10:00

i decided to throw myself right out of my comfort zone with this card....buttons....distressing....background stamping....the colours...and the stamp is soooo not my style. but overall i like the way this card turned out :-)

i challenge you today, to get out of your comfort zone and do somrthing you wouldnt normally do!
have fun with it!
luv c

2008-06-21T06:43:00.001+10:00

yesterdays challenge over at http://dutchdare-cardchallenges.blogspot.com/ was to use a stamp print somewhere on your card. i can now share the card i made for this challenge!

i love the way this one turned out.
i used the sketch from http://poeticartistry.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html (mojo monday). the paper is basic grey (nathan obb-467) scrap black card and green card (as usual!), flower trio stamp (rhonna farrer) sentiment - happy harmony (stampin up) and black grosgrain ribbon (also stampin up) thats it, you cant see it here, but the flower block is raised up a little with mounting squares.
head on over to dutch dare if you want to see what the other members of the DT did for this challenge!

gift card cards...

2008-06-20T06:39:00.000+10:00

i made 20 of these cards for some parents in my sons prep class who helped at our school fair. each card holds a gift card to the local mini golf. i think they turned out prety cute! i used my new bird stamps again (the facination should wear off soon!) and the thank you stamp is a stampin up one.

have a great day
luv c

for Bep!

2008-06-19T07:08:00.000+10:00

this is a card i did for another swap over at first swap blog. this was jetting its way over to Bep in Holland (Hi Bep!!!) and now that she has received it, i can share..yay!!!

Bep sent me this sketch to use for her card -
and heres what i came up with! -

what do you think? this sketch was a bit tricky, only cause of all the detail i had to try and cram on a card front! i left off a few details from the sketch, but i dont think it matters much...sketches are open for interpretation arent they?! i think it looks great anyways!
and heres whats on the inside -

yep, its that stamp set again!

now onto todays challenge -

i challenge you to use stickers or a stamp that is designed for children, on a card for an adult. (does that make sense?) for example...i used a packet of Disney princess stickers for the front of Beps card.

have fun with it!

luv tina

how i did it -

2008-04-22T08:51:00.000+10:00

i have had a couple of emails asking how i made this card -

it was a very simple one.

i used -

the paper was basic grey, urban couture, garbardine

butterfly stamp was a rhonna farrer one,

sentiment was a stampin up one (warmest regards)

i had the dew drops given to me...so dont know brand sorry!

also used stampin up chocolate chip ink

and the white cardstock was just scrap.

as well as double sided tape, mini glue dots and mounting squares.

i cut out some of the ppaper to fit on my white card base, leaving a small border of white all around. then i stuck it on using my tape. the butterflies were then stamped onto abit of the pp using the chocolate ink. i cut them out and raised them uip as bit with some mounting squares before sticking them on the card. all i did then was stamp the sentiment on some scrap white, inked the edges and stuck it down. i used mini glue dots to stick the dew drops down.

done!

see i told you it was easy!!!

i am hoping to make a few more of these today using different papers, so will share when they are done.

thanks for visiting!

luv c

happy 100th!!!!

a bit rude! (and sketch #41)

2008-03-29T08:35:00.000+10:00

****warning**** the following image may offend some viewers. please avert eyes now if you are easily offended. lol

last night my friend...(lets call her "ronika" (lol) ) was over to scrap, and she made the funniest card...so i copied it with her permission (of course!) and thought i would share it with you. (see "ronika" i told you i would!)please skip this post if you are easily offended...no hate mail either please! lol

i used my wild about you set (stampin up), pumpkin pie and old olive ink as well as scraps of card (and 3 brads!)
this also fits the sketch challenge over at beates blog for this week (#41)
i love it! i will never look at that stamp set the same way again! but i dont think this card will make it into the shortlist of the cards i am making for the school fete!
have a great day

recycle challenge

2008-03-17T12:27:00.000+10:00

i made 4 small cards for this challenge... you might call them a set i suppose! i rescued this from my recycling bin -

(it is the cardboard packaging that some princess stickers came in)

and i made these with it! -

how cute are they?! they are only very small, but they are so cute! i still have ariel to do, but i cant decide on her colour yet, i might do her orange...what do you think?

luv tina

mums recycled card

2008-03-17T09:14:00.000+10:00

heres what mum came up with for the recycled challenge.

she used some acetate off a display box (***note**** this was not the box she used...i got the pic off the internet just so you get the idea!)

and then she cut it out on her robo to make this -

clever huh?

good job mum!

if you have any weird and wonderful unique ideas you want for the challenge...drop a line in the comments and i will see what i can do! please dont suggest the usual ideas (use flowers...use buttons etc) i am after something different!!!!!!
so on that note....
todays challenge is.....
use something from your recycling bin on a card!!!!!
weird i know lol, but it could be a bit of card board...etc etc (hey i am not giving away MY idea! lol) make sure (if you send it in) you let me know what piece of junk you used (and a pic of it before hand if you like!)
have fun with it!
luv c
