Playful Pets Designer Series Paper (DSP) -

Hi everyone welcome to my blog. On Saturday Michele Jutrisa gave us a sketch challenge to use and I didn't quite get my cards finished on the day - so much was happening.

You can see the sketch below that we all had to use.

I am loving the Pampered Pets Bundle on page 42 and the Playful Pets DSP on page 149. I had them out on the table so couldn't resist using them again. I will show you the cute cat at a later time.

The above puppy dog is cut out with the dies but you have to fussy cut the others  OR cheat as I did below where I used an oval to cut the sausage dog out with.

Used Basic Black & Real Red cardstock for the cards with the DSP.

Measurements I used are:

- Base is Basic Black - 14.8 x 10.5 (once folded)

- Next layer was DSP 14.3 x 10cm

- Real Red strip was 11.8 x 5cm and attached to it was

- DSP strip 11.3 x 4.5 cm glued to the card

- a Real Red strip 1cm wide and 10cm long

- Basic Black scalloped oval and the dog was cut with the die and popped up on dimensionals

Thank you for popping in

Until next time

Happy stamping, stay safe and 
be kind to one another.

INKspired Sketch Blog Hop 42 -

Hi everyone

Welcome to our INKspired Sketch Blog hop 42 -

You may have arrived from Renee

and I can't wait to see her creation this fortnight.

Now Teneale has given us this sketch 

below to use.

I decided on a Christmas card using the Christmas Magic stampset. Used Emerald Envy cardstock as the 

main card.

Placed Very Vanilla cardstock on top .

Stamped the train with Archival Basic Black ink and cut out with one of the Layering Circles Framelits and did a Real Red scallop edge framelit.

Coloured in using the Brights Stampin' Write markers and the Neutral Stampin' Write markers with

a Blender Pen.

Used some Clear Wink of Stella to highlight.

The Softly Falling textured impressions embossing folder was used to run a smaller section of Very Vanilla through.

A piece of the new Very Vanilla 1/2" Lace Trim finished it.

No wildlife tonight but my tulips are flowering and I thought I would show you 
a couple of pics of them.

Now it is onto Louise to see what
 beautiful creation she has made

Thank you 
for stopping by

INKspired Sketch Blog Hop 34 -

Hi Everyone,welcome to our hop #INK034, 
it always amazes me how fast the fortnight goes...
You may have joined the hop here so welcome or you may have joined from the delightful Marlene 
Can't wait to see what she has made

Here is another great sketch that Teneale has done for us - she is so creative!
I would still be doodling on the page deciding 

love having a sketch to work with...

For this sketch I started with Real Red cardstock and stuck a piece of Real Red DSP that was 2cm smaller on to the front.

Couldn't get the small rectangles looking good - so I went bigger..

way bigger than the sketch!

Stamped the leaves from the Number of Years stamp set in Pear Pizzaz onto the Whisper White cardstock.

I then used Melon Mambo,Daffodil Delight and Wisteria Wonder for the small flowers.

Stamped the Happy Birthday from the same stampset in the Archival Basic Black onto Whisper White cardstock and attached it under the flower bouquet.

Love the It's My Party Enamel Dots for the centre of the flowers and at each end of the words.

Looking at it now perhaps less enamel dots may have been better...

Finally some flowers from one of my gardens these are called Redhot Pokers (real name Kniphofia or Tritoma) - they are magnificent.

Thank you for stopping by to look at our hop.

Now it is onto the talented Barbara and  I can't wait to see

Just Add Ink #296....Just Add Nature

I am liking the sound of Just Add Nature in the
JAI#296 challenge
 this week and thought I would join in.
There are some gorgeous cards in the link so hop over and have a look.
I thought I would keep it simple and use the Sale-A-Bration set 
called Flowering Fields that comes in wood mounted or clear.
I decided to use the Stampin' Write Markers direct to the rubber on the stamps...gave them a huff to remoisten the ink, then stamped on the Whisper White cardstock......
Used Real Red for the flower and Old Olive for the stem and leaves

I wanted the outline of the stamp in its simplicity.
Used some beautiful Sahara Sand lace trim
across the card.

Stamped Happy Birthday from the Remembering Your Birthday stamp set
using the new Archival Basic Black ink pad which is a permanent ink onto the Whisper White cardstock and attached over the lace.

Thank you for stopping by

Bye for now
