A Happy Hooray Feather card!

You might have noticed that I've got a bit of a thing with feathers at the moment!! I'm also TOTALLY loving the "A Happy Hooray" stamp set which has a wonderful feather (along with some other goodies) and when I saw THIS card I knew it was a case for sure!!!
I demonstrated the Baby Wipe Technique with this very card in my Paper Dolls Stamp Club just last night and the ladies LOVED IT!!! Such a wonderful technique and soooo easy with amazing results every time!

The "thanks" is from "another thank you" stamp set which works perfectly, add some sparkly sequins and you have a very clean, simple, elegant card!! Watch out for some more baby wipe cards soon.....

Paper Dolls stamp club - DIY nest {july projects}

With August nearly over I thought I'd better show you last months Paper Doll projects I showed in my stamp clubs. I wanted to showcase the wonderful new Backyard Basics stamp set and have a play with the colour theme from the Soho Subway Suite.
For my first card I took the inspiration straight from Convention!! (sooo love their displays this year) Inside an old printer box they had made a nest similar to this one....

Then I wanted to do a male card (as they can sometimes be tricky) with the wonderful little bee. It was inspired by my get well soon card I made HERE with some tweaking!

To make the nest it's easy peasy, just cut thin strips of desired cardstock (I used early espresso) then roll into a ball-like you are making chocolate balls then spread out a little till you're happy with the size!

 

 

I put LOTS of sticky strip on the card itself and then stick down the "nest" to that!! If you have some fly away pieces then just snip them till you're happy!!!
What do you think?? Let me know if you give it a go, I'd love to see!!

Spinner card with Pinwheel die - Paper Dolls stamp club {June}

Have you played with the sweet little Pinwheel Die?? It's in the Seasonal Mini and sadly wont be making it to the main new catty (released on Mon 1st July!) in saying that neither will the cloud embossing folder (SAD FACE) so with this in mind I HAD TO use them for my Paper Dolls stamp club this month!!
A very long time ago I made a spinner card, it was cool and makes a very fun children's card!! I thought it was time to do it again and the Pinwheel die is PERFECT! I saw this card HERE and made one myself.
My Paper Doll ladies LOVED IT, there were plenty of "Weeeeeeeeeeeeee" being said as they saw their card come to life!

For the second card we used the Pinwheel again with the same greeting (from Bring on the Cake which is crossing over to the new catty, YAY!) and made some grass. Have you tried this??? You know when you "muck up" your scallop edge punching?? Well that's grass!!! You'll laugh when you end up with a perfect scallop edge that then you have to some how MUCK UP to get your grass!!! Funny!!

The DSP I used is also from the mini, it's called Sprinkles and Sunshine and is sooo sweet and bright and fun too. I have a scrapbook page I'll show you with it soon.

 

Lastly I made this groovy Elephant card with the You're Amazing stamp set and the retiring DSP that matches! He looks soooo cool as he spins around!!

Paper Doll stamp club ...... saying goodbye to Forever Young stamp set

It's true, it's taken me far too long to post these cards I demonstrated with my wonderful Paper Doll stamp club last month..... Mmmmm! But I'm here now and I'd love to show you as it's that time of the year in the stamping up world that we say goodbye to loads of wonderful stamps, colours and more. So for the last two months I've been showcasing some of my favourite's and giving them one last Hurrah!!
I used retiring colours... More Mustard and Bravo Burgundy and retiring stamp sets... Forever Young and Established elegance.
I wanted to show off the wonderful and very versatile Natural Composition Specialty DSP (which has actually made it into the new catty!! YAY!) so came up with these....

 

 

I do like my cards to complement each other for my club so we went with the same layout just with different embellishments and colours!

 

Have you tried the Rock and Roll technique??? That's what we did on the tips of the tree to make it look more Autumn like! I love this tech, it's SUPER easy and gives awesome effects!!!

 

Did you know the Spritzer is saying Goodbye...... make sure you get all the goodies you want before Sun cause it'll be too late come Monday!!
See you soon with some more show and tell,
