Happy Saturday friends, It’s lovely to be able to share with you my first card using the Rock Star bundle. I’m a fan of all music stamp sets so this particular suite was going to end up with me at some stage. I just got it in last week and I love all the fun options that are available with the stamps, dies, embellishments and the black and white Designer Series Paper. It’s a great guy set and those black and white papers are so versatile.
I followed the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #fms626 . I started by inking up my guitar in Tuxedo Black. Then I wiped back the neck end of the guitar with a paper towel and coloured the stamp with the Starry Sky Stampin’ Write Marker. I added any details that may have come off with the Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker. Then I stamped and die cut the image. On top of this I stamped a texture image from the Of Art & Texture stamp set. This is part of our Online Exclusives range. I really love how this stamp added just that little bit of colour to the image.
For the background some Shimmery White Embossing Paste was coloured with Starry Sky ink refill before application. The shimmer is so much fun and adds to the rock star look of this card. I applied it fairly thick as I wanted a more uneven, textured look.
I die cut a circle using the Stylish Shapes dies and added some blending through a mask. This was cut in half to form the sketch. The guitar was added on top with a pick die cut from Silver Foil. To complete the card I added a heat embossed sentiment with a little star from the embellishments in the Rock & Roll suite.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a lovely weekend and a long weekend if you are in Melbourne!
Hello everyone, Welcome to a new week. I love the colour palette of today’s card. I didn’t set out to create with this but it just turned out this way and I love the beautiful, beachy tones of this that I’ll probably be using it again.
Inspired by the sketch at Global Design Project Challenges I used the bird from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set as my main image. This stamp set is just my style and I love the artistic look of it.
This sketch is a really classic layout and the offset design lends itself to so many interpretations.
STAMPED BIRD
After picking my Designer Series Paper, I then chose my stamp set. The bird was inked up in Boho Blue then I wiped off the beak, feet and branches with a paper towel and added the Crumb Cake Marker to it before stamping the image. This iwas then coloured in Watercolour Pencils of Coastal Cabana, Balmy Blue, Cajun Craze, Early Espresso and Basic Gray.
OFFSET PANELS
To create the offset panels, I cut a piece of Poetic Expressions Designer Series Paper at 13.3 cm x 9.0 cm. I added a die cut Deckled Rectangle on top which was embossed with the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder.
Banners die cut using the All That dies were embellished with some flowers die cut from the Kraft Note Cards. The natural tones of the Kraft work well against the Boho Blue. A Linen Thread bow added the perfect finishing touch.

Happy Monday friends, I’m getting back to the rhythm of going back to my day job today after being on 5 weeks school holidays. Ah, the end of no alarms and sleep-ins.
For this sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches FMS620 I’ve use the Enjoy the Rhythm stamp set as my featured image.
The 3 circles have been die cut from different dies to create different edges, while the main image has been coloured with Stampin’ Blends.
For the Wild Wheat circle I applied a mask to create some texture and then stamped the music score for some detail. This card was one of the cards I created during my Free class on Friday. You can watch the video (link below).

The Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper from our Sale-A-Bration catalogue is such a beautiful pack of paper to work with. Filled with images of birds and florals you get a beautiful selection of designs to choose from.
For the base of my card I have picked a pretty tone-on-tone Lost Lagoon sheet from this pack of DSP.
I fussy cut the bird’s nest from the Everyday Details stamp set and coloured it with Stampin’ Blends. This is such a pretty image and with those birds creates a beautiful focal point.
Purchasing the Everyday Details bundle during Sale-A-Bration will qualify you for a free Sale-A-Bration product.
For the top of the banner I added a die cut from the Everyday Details dies. This particular border die cuts into the cardstock but doesn’t cut around it. I used a trimmed to cut on either side of it before attaching it to the banner.
To balance the large bird’s nest, I added a layered flower from the Translucent Florals dies which I coloured with Stampin’ Blends. Some leaves cut apart from the Gorgeously Made dies added create a pretty arrangement to coordinate with the Fresh Freesia sentiment.

I thought I may struggle with this sketchfor the #30DayChristmasCardmakingChallenge However, with a little bit of thought I was able to recreate it using the presents from the Beary Cute stamp set.
The image was stamped in Night of Navy ink on Fluid 100 Cardstock then watercoloured with Tahitian Tide and Night of Navy ink refills and a Water Painter. I was so happy with how this turned out as it was something a little bit different.
Each of the images was fussy cut and then adhered onto the Delightful Floral Designer Series Paper. I die cut the sections of the tree from the Merriest Trees dies and then blended Parakeet Party ink onto it before curving the edges with a Bone Folder. With the Merriest Trees dies you can can create different sized trees using the layered dies.
I stamped and cut apart the sentiment from the Joy to You stamp set to work in with the sketch. This stamp set has some large sentiments which are perfect as focal points but can also be cut apart to create customised sentiments.
