A Little Leafy With Cloud 9 and Archival

Hiya everyone, This month at Ecclectic Ellapu the Purple teams theme is Leaves/Foliage. I have had this great stamp set from Cloud 9, called Leaves, for years and it was still brand new in it's packet lol. So basically as you can see I stamped a pretty much random scattering of leaves about using Archival Inks in Viridian, Potting Soil, Library Green, Watering Can, Plum and Leaf Green. It doesn't show to well in the pic but I didn't clean my stamps in between each colour which in some cases made whole new colours and in others gave a nice mottled effect.

I used a Spellbinders Lacey Square die for my sentiment which is from Inkadinkado's Expessions set. I added some more leaves around the words and mounted the die cut with foam tape for some dimension. A nice easy one this time... Stay tuned though because I also have another more feminine card featuring one of my all time favourite stamp sets :)

A Little Dylisions Goes A Long Way

So what happens when you spill Calypso Teal Dylusions over your almost finished project? lol. That's what happened to me here . . . I tried to tip some back into the bottle and made an even bigger mess on my floor as well. Thank you Ultra Clean stamp cleaner for getting it off the lino.

I have to say the Ranger/Tim Holtz watercolour paper is the best I have tried. Love love love it. I used some paper towel to blot off the puddle of dylusions and now if I hadn't told you you wouldn't know it was a huge oopsie! The paper can really take a lot of water without breaking down and pilling.

The flowers and elephant are stamped with Archival ink. The flowers are coloured with Dylusions and Glimmer mist. The elephant is coloured with Copics and a lil Atyou Spica for some extra sparkle :) He is also paper pieces to add some dimension.

Dried Marigold, Texture Paste and Spellbinders

Hi everybody, sorry I've been away for so long, but I've had a busy month! Been on holidays, my daughter graduated high school among other things lol. So we have a new challenge starting at Eclectic Ellapu and for the Purple team the the theme is to use Texture Paste. I was a bit challenged by this card, nothing seemed to balance out but I got there in the end.

To start this card I used a Heidi Swapp mini stencil, with Liquitex texture paste. Over this I used dried marigold distress ink. I also used distress ink around my card base. I then used my ebosser to cut Spellbinders dies, the top butterfly layer is vellum. I used more dried marigold on these as well as to stamp the Fiskars sentiment. I added some ribbon and bead string as well as bling from Kaisercraft to finish.

Captivated By Silence Goth Card

Ok, so I got an order for a goth birthday card the other day and this is my attempt at one. It's good because this month for the Purples at Eclectic Ellapu the focus is Lady's Birthday. After trawling through my stamps I found this Sweet Pea stamp by Anna Marine called Captivated By Silence, unfortunately I'm not sure they have it anymore . . . I coloured her with copics.

As I wanted some matching papers I had to hand create one to pick up the purple in the colouring, so I took a ruler and copics in 100 an V09 and alternated stripes. I also used a piece of paper from Kaisercrafts Violet Crush 6" stack. The doily behind the image is a die from Lifestyle Crafts, all other dies are from Spellbinders, including the D-lite sentiment which I cut from black cardstock and coated with Glossy Accents and adhered to another hand coloured piece of cardstock. The flowers are from I Am Roses and also coloured with copics. I also used plenty of foam tape between the layers for some dimension.
Happy to say my customer was very happy :) Thanks for stopping by.

Stretch Your Stamps 2 DIY Stamped Letter Embelishments.

G'day, this is my second card for day 10 of Stretch Your Stamps 2 at Online Card Classes. As I already had the red cs out I decided to go red again lol.

For this card I used stamps from Paper Xtra, Vermillion Archival ink, Matte Accents for all the letter gluing and Xcuts Slimline Alphabet.

Stretch Your Stamps 2 Random Patterns

I have to say this card for Stretch Your Stamps 2 at Online Card Classes posed a bit of a problem as I don't really have many graphic stamps but I found Fiskars Shapes n, Such in my stash and it had two patterned squares of differing sizes. I also used Distress Inks in Ripe Persimmon, Antique Linen, Tumbled Glass and Peackock Feathers as well as Archival Black to stamp the sentiment from Kaisercraft.

Well I am now onto day 7 of Stetch Your Stamps 2 at Online Card Classes, almost there. This one would have been nice and quick if I had thought to trim the stamp before I started lol.

Stretch Your Stamps 2 Watercolour Spotlight

Hi we are at the bonus day and the final stretch of Stretch Your Stamps 2 at Online Card Classes. Panicking a bit as I have 6 cards still to make (I wanted to do more but time is of the essence lol) in the next 24 hours lol. Sorry in advance for the glut of close together posts!

So the storu behind this card and the next one is that I had a specific stamp set I wanted to use that I put somewhere so I could find it . . . and promptly lost it lol. I had to borrow some stamps off my friend to do this one, but may after class finishes now that I found my stamps in a spot I looked five times I will make this card with my original vision.

I have used Stazon Jet Black to stamp my stamps, the sentiment is from Kaisercraft and the flowers are freebies off a mag I think but I'm not really sure. I used Dylusions, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists and a home made glimmer mist as well. Oh and it's on Ranger Watercolor Cardstock, my new fave watercolour cs! I need to get the hang of this technique a bit more.

Stretch Your Stamps 2 Over The Edge

So I am at the mid point, Day 6 of Stretch Yours Stamps 2 at Online Card Classes. I tried using this Mpress stamp for another technique but there wasn't enough open space for colouring. It looks great for this technique though :) I used Hero Arts white embossing powder, Distress Inks in Seedless Preserves, Festive Berries, Ripe Persimmon, Mustard Seed and a brown which I cannot remember lol. I need to start taking notes as I create! I died some white grosgrain with the distress inks to match and used staples to attach to the tag. The background is stamped with the same colours of ink stamped off so its barely there, using a Cherry Blossom stamp from Fiskars.

Stretch Your Stamps 2 Easy Watercolour Outline and Debossing

So we are at my second card from day 5 of Stretch Your Stamps 2 at Online Card Classes and I have chosen to use an Mpress stamp set, same flower again I know lol. It looks good what can I say?  I used Distress inks in Pine Needles and Aged Mahogany for the flower and Tumbled Glass for the border. I have used some Hemtique Twine and a Buttuerfly border punch I have for the itty butterflys. Really need to start writing on my dies what brand they are . . . I coloured the butterflys with Aged Mahogany so they tied in with the flower and sentiment from Whimsy Stamps.

Special 200th Blog Post Mini Easel Card With Drawer Featuring Candy Lane

So for my 200th blog post I thought I would have a break from SYS2 and post my Daughters 11th birthday card. As you can see it has a bit of a twist. It's an Easel box card so that you can put whatever you want in the little drawer that comes out. Here is a link to the youtube vid I watched to show me how to do this. I used two colours however because that's what miss 11 wanted lol.

I used KaiserCrafts Candly Lane 6" paper pad for this card 'cause if you can't tell . . . my daughters favourite colour is hot pink lol. I also used dies from Spellbinders and Lifestyle crafts as well as archival ink for the sentiment and prima flowers nd some resin floers from Ebay.

For the foam insode I just used some that came in something new once upon time. I have a box full of this stuff just for that purpose. She also got a ring and bracelet in this so I cut slots using my Tim Holtz Scissors and my Prima Knife.

Onto day five of Stretch Your Stamps 2 at Online Card Classes. For this card I used Embossing powders I got a very long time ago in tiny little vials from Spotlight.

Stertch Your Stamps 2 Colouring and Tiling (not so much...)

So I don't have a background stamp suited to this colouring technique so I decided to go in a whole different direction. I took a stamp set I had recieved free with a magazine and paired it with Hampton Arts Clear Expression stamp set Beach Bum.
This technique is from day 2 of Stretch Your Stamps at Online Card Classes. As you can see I used fussy cutting instead of tiling . . . Hey whatever works, right?

Today I also used Gelatos in the following colours, Black Licorice, Blueberry, Butter Cream, Butterscotch, Margarita Mix, Metallic Blueberry, Metallic Grape, Metallic Melon, Metallic Mint, Red Cherry and Snow Cone. Phew that's a lot of colours lol. I also used Hero Arts White embossing powder, an embossing buddy and the Stampin' Up blender pen.

Watercolour Daisy Thanks

Hi Everyone, this week at Eclectic Ellapu I chose watercolour for the theme because I am doing a class at Online Card Classes. I bought a bunch more last weekend because they had $5 off every class except for the new one coming up. If you haven't guess this is the class I am doing, Watercolour for card makers, lol.

I used Windsor & Newton Cotman Water watercolours in a 45 pan set that I have with Stampendous Daisy Thanks clear stamps that I have stamped in Stazon jet black as my archival has grown legs and run for the hills... For some reason my Stazon had dried out something fierce and I had to reink it twice to get it wo work . . . For my first attempt at this technique it didn't turn out too bad lol.

Hero Arts Watercolor Petals With Distress Markers

Hiya, I am doing classes at Online Card classes atm and one is Water Color For Card Makers, that link will take you to the main page. If you are interested in their classes right this very minute they have $5 off til the end of the weekend in the US. I bought a whole bunch lol.

For this card I used the Hero Arts Watercolor Petals with Distress Markers in Aged Mahogany, Victorian Velvet, Spiced Marmalade, peeled paint and I think Pine Needles. I created the border after I stamped (the opposite of what I was supposed to do and not with the right technique as I didn't have what I needed on hand) with some leftover Windsor $ Newton Cotman watercolours. The sentiments are from different stamp sets and when I find them I will let you know, they are stamped with stazon.

A Very CAS Birthday With Gelatos

Hi everyone :) Still having computer issues and well to be honest issues with the freezing winter we are having in Aus this year. It's that time again though and this time for the Purples it's ANYTHING GOES at Eclectic Ellapu. Sorry for the glare on my card but I forgot to take a pic before I packaged it up to sell lol.

This was a very easy card to make. Basically I stamped my image straight on to 300gsm white cs that is made so you can work right on it. I got it from a craft show I went to last year and I'm hoping when I go back in November that they have more. I  coloured using Faber-Castell Gelatos I used with a waterbrush straight from the tubes so I could get the intense colour. I made sure not to use too much water so the cs wouldn't warp and the colour wouldn't bleed through.

I went around the edge of the card with blue and smudged it with my finger and then did the same with a Tim Holtz Movers and Shapers Label with a pink gelato. I used foam tape to raise the label for a little dimension. As you can see this was a nice quick card to make and I was trying out another CAS idea. I'm getting there I think lol.

Large Flower Background And Flutter Trees

Hiya, long time no talk . . . My cat really did it this time :( She knocked a pretty big cup full of water all over my laptop and while it still works not all the keys work properly lol. So I have to use a combination of laptop and tablet to do a post and well most days it's just too much work lol. Anyways the challenge at Eclectic Ellapu for the Purples this time is Birthdays with Butterflies. If You didn't guess I picked that one ;) Not many pics this week as that's just too much work switching constantly between pad n lappy lol.

So because I just got my Inktense pencils and some new spellbinders dies I thought I would combine the two. The dies I used are In'spire Celebration and Flutter Tree D'lites. For a full list of suplies look in the labels. The copious amounts of cutting were done in my Ebosser.

1. Cut 6 sets of trees, butterflies and sentiments from plain cs
2. Stamp background and then position tree and sentiment, die cut
3. Colour the background with a watercolour medium ( I used my new inktense set squeal), I hadnt kept my middle tree pieces but I decided the finished card needed them and went a hunting lol. Next time I will make sure to colour these at the same time too.
4. Glue the 6 trees together plus the stamped tree, glue 3 sentiments plus the stamped one together.
5. Once you have trimmed your background cut a card base to measure and then go over the edges of the base and background with white Adirondack Paint Dabber
6. Adhere background to base and then add the tree and sentiment.
7. The butterfly dies join two together at a time so what I did for these was turn my stamp stamp side up and work out roughly where I wanted the butterflies and pressed them onto the stamp then matched up the lines on the background.

The inspiration for this card came from one Jennifer McGuire posted on her blog a few months ago. She only used a sentiment but I thought this is so cool it could work with anything :)

More of My First Mini Part 5

Getting there :) The next images we got a little Australian followed by a lil camp :) lol

 Ok so we started with Prima and KaiserCraft papers, spellbinders butterfly circles, a tag cut with my ecraft and some brads and pearls.

 Flowers close up ;) I added white adirondack paint dabber around around the edges of the mini albums mini album lol

 The first page flips open for some journalling with some more flowers and brads. The darker pages you see here are from a magazine from years ago lol.

 The lace holds the book in place as it is fully removable.

I guess this is where we get camp haha. I used Lifestyle Crafts dies for the lettering and corner flourish. I love this KaiserCraft paper, all the white lines are flocked.

 A little Priscilla with both my girls.

And some Dame Edna for the Aussies and Brits who know who she is lol.

 And then we went a little Gaga. The panel that says Gaga is actually a little teeny pocket to hold the tag that's behind in place.

The tag has a Lifestyle Crafts Tab It Kit tab on it.

The back was done with Distress Stains and edged and stamped with distress inks. Hopefully all these journalling spots have been put to good use . . .
