Baby Onesie card



Kind of a crappy picture eh? It's the pink, the pink, it's too light. It's Pink Pirouette, one of SU's new "in" colours, I am not a big fan of it that's way I choose to work with it for this card because I don't really care for it, it's too light.

Isn't this card awesome? I have seen alot of them but never knew how to do it. I stumbled, as always across the tutorial in one of my blog search sessions. The template for it can be found here. I tweaked it a bit myself. I just love, love, love them, the baby onesies I mean.

All supplies SU except for buttons.

Pink Pirouette for the onesie, whisper white for the scallops and 2 white buttons.

Back to my roots


I had my first "splurge" gathering last night, I think things went rather well. 9 of us get together every month, spend 25.00 on SU, eat and craft. It was fun. I haven't made any masculine cards in awhile which is strange as I really enjoy and do alot of manly cards.
All supplies used are SU.
The base is close to cocoa, I matted not quite navy on it with 3 always artichoke brads. I used a mat of bashful blue which I faux stitched, the bear is matted on always artichoke, faux stitching as well. I stamped a sentiment from Lots of thoughts and punched it using the tab punch, threw in a little stapely poo to make it more manly. The bear image is from the stamp set Yukon and I used a blender pen and chalks.

Masterpiece





This won't be a long post as my entire family, including myself have been VIOLENTLY ill. This is the masterpiece, I am quite proud of it. All supplies used are the same as listed in my other posts.

Round 2 of demo swap card











Another cold day out on the prairies, I'm trying to keep warm, thought I would blog. My sister and I have been working on a tutorial, (another vague empty promise here) which I hope to add soon. I have been checking out other blogs alot lately and find I like to visit sites with tutorials, and obviously nice eye candy.

For those that have been here before, this is the other card I came up with (the card on top), for the demo swap on Splitcoaststampers I didn't like the original (one on bottom) so I made another. I still didn't like it, so I made another, I went through some of my cards received in swaps and found a rockin template. I am excited to post it. Well enough of that, check back again to see the master piece.

All supplies used SU

Base is Kiwi Kiss, then matted on Cameo Coral.

Itty bitty bolds with versamark and Iridescent Ice on Cameo Coral.

Mat of white , scallop edge punch, Raspberry Tart DSP, scallop edge punch.

Rose red scallop punch, kiwi kiss circle punch, whisper white circle punch.

Spring stems stamp set coloured with Old Olive and Rose Red markers (you can get away with using old olive to match with Kiwi Kiss is small doses)
