Picture Perfect Again

Yet another one sheet wonder inspired card, the only difference is I'm using 6x6 rather than 12x12 and I'm only making two bases at a time, however I am enjoying it and it is reducing the paper mountain lol.

I wanted this set of selfies from MFT as soon as they were released but I had to wait as they kept going out of stock, I finally managed to get them in June and I have used a few already. Now this card was made a while ago but I had to wait until the recipient had received it before posting it.



Ingredients
Image: Picture perfect from MFT
Sentiment: photobomb from Mama Elephant
Card: smoky shadow from Papertrey ink
Papers: Party patterns from MFT
Dies: polaroid die from MFT (retired version)

Penny Black So Much Love

These two cards were made at the same time as the girl holding balloon cards, I had the stencil out on my desk and thought why not make a few with the same look. I did mask these as well but I could have achieved the clouds without masking just as easily. 





Ingredients
Image: "so much love" from Penny Black
Stencils: mini cloud and drifts and hills both MFT
Sentiment: "birthday balloons" from Penny black
Card: "grape jelly" from MFT and "hibiscus burst" from Papertrey ink
Inks: twisted citroen, mowed lawn and tumbled glass distress oxide inks
Dies: A2 stitched rectangle stax from MFT

Reveal Wheel Twila Version 2

This is the second card I have made in this style, this year though I wasn't as organised and ended up not batch making them at all. Next year I need to do this as it was more stressful trying to get everything done nearer the birthdays.

Not much else to say except this one isn't on an action wobbler as it needed to be posted, hopefully though the little one liked it.

One Sheet Wonder

At playday a while ago Kay was making One Sheet Wonders and Kathleen thought they would make a great idea for our weekly crafty meet up. Now normally I chat at these meet ups rather than craft but I thought I would give it a try this time and I'm so pleased I did.

I only cut into two sheets of 12x12 and I made 16 card bases ready for images, on the night I actually stamped and coloured the nine you see below. The others I have in my card base box ready to go.

I don't have a lot of 12x12 patterned paper but I am going to cut up some more in different colour ways and have a go.













Ingredients
Images: "layering butterfly" from Hampton Art and "make a point" (retired) from Stampin Up
Card: "pink" from Papermania and "steel grey" from MFT
Dies: Spellbinders circle and scalloped circle nesties

Men in Black

This card was so far out of my comfort zone I think I need a new zip code lol. I was at my crafty friends house and we decided to try her ink sprays, she had all manner of sprays from oxides to cosmic shimmer so we just played and once the backgrounds were dry I knew I wanted to make cards with them, however they don't suit my normal style so she suggested using a different style and I really enjoyed it.

Unfortunately as I made them at her house and used her stuff I have no idea who makes the dies, I kind of wish I did know as I think i might need them both lol.

JASON 50

As soon as I saw this image I knew who I would use it for but it was a small stamp and I wanted to be able to increase the size, so I contacted the lovely owner of CC designs and asked if it was going to be available as a Digi and she said yes, I bought it as soon as she released it and it has sat waiting ever since.

I coloured it to look like the guy and he loved it, he was most impressed with his name in an eclipse style as he hadn't seen that before.

I let the image be the star of the show and this style is one I will definitely be recreating.

Penny Black Birthday Balloons

This stamp was my only purchase from Violettes Scrapbook store in Lakeland Florida on my recent trip, it is a huge stamp and as you can tell completely fills an A2 and i have even cut her legs off lol.

I enjoyed making these cards and using different card and hair colours broke it up quite a bit too.This year I have managed to continue the two cards one sitting quite a lot, not every time but on more occasions than not. I hope it is something that continues in my card making journey.

Ok on to the card, its fairly simple as its a large image and has lots of colouring so I just stencilled the background with the mini clouds that were already on my desk, it did mean cutting a mask which was time consuming but worth it.



Ingredients
Image and Sentiment: "birthday balloons" Penny Black
Dies: A2 stitched rectangle stax from MFT
Card:
Stencil: Mini cloud stencil from MFT and tumbled glass distress oxide ink

Once upon a Time.....definitely the end (for now)

So I thought I had shown all the designs of this card style when I found this one and I thought it was cute and deserved to be shown.

I really feel like making more of this style, each time I find one I haven't shown before I want to make more lol, maybe thats the simplicity of the design that speaks to me.
