Birthday Card and Thank You Tag

Hi everyone,

I haven't posted on my blog here in a while (sorry) but I thought this would be the best platform to tell the story behind these creations I made for a crafty friend of mine I met this year through Instagram.

I was cleaning my 5 year old rabbit, Casper's FAVOURITE food/treat bowl in the bathroom one morning in early June 2019 and it just slipped right out of my hands onto the tiled bathroom floor and smashed into a couple of big pieces and a lot of very tiny pieces. 

Sadly they do not sell this bowl in Australia (where I live) anymore. I bought the bowl in 2014 when I first got Casper. 

So I was on a mission to find Casper's favourite bowl but failed until my Mum found it and showed me it online. I was squealing happily when she found it only to find out that they DON'T ship to Australia. 😞

I then had an idea...I decided to ask a crafty friend I met online who lives in the USA (where the bowl is located) if she could do me a huge favour and purchase and pack and ship to me. I told her I would pay for the bowls and postage to Australia and she happily agreed to help me out. It might be ridiculous to some people but...I purchased 10 bowls for Casper in case of any future accidents, I'd always have a back up. LOL! 😄

Casper isn't any ordinary "normal" type of rabbit...he gets attached to things a bit like us humans do. So when he heard me scream when I accidentally broke his favourite bowl and had to show him what happened he was very depressed for days and had to use a temporary food bowl which he would refuse to eat out of and I didn't know rabbits could cry but he was crying real sad tears. 😞

What made it worse is that his bowl broke only a couple of days before his 5th birthday. 

Fast forward a few days, Samantha (my crafty online USA friend) got all of the bowls and shipped to me and mentioned her birthday was coming up which was a "hint hint, wink wink" situation. 😜

So I got a list of her favourite things (colours and animals) and came up with something for her birthday card and then had to create something even more special and I was so happy I had the stamps to create what I had in mind. 

I made a double sided tag with a bunny representing Casper on each side looking happy, thankful and grateful with a "I Can't Thank You Enough" sentiment and some raining carrots and turnips that represent Casper's favourite food bowl on one side and the other side with some gems/jewels and the sentiment "You're A Gem". 

The "You're A Gem" represents after she agreed to get me the bowls and me telling her that she was a gem which made her so happy because no one had ever said that to her before.

Primrose Birthday Card ~ Jo's Scrap Shack

Hi everyone,

I am so excited to share with you all that I am now on Jo's Scrap Shack Design Team. Today I want to show you all a card I made for Jo's Scrap Shack Fun-Day Friday Challenge #274.

The theme is "Anything Goes" and the sponsor for this week is Imagine That Digi Stamp. The lucky winner will win a $12 coupon to the Imagine That Digi Stamp online store.

 

Ok lets see how I made my card. 😊

First I grabbed one piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and cut it down to 8 1/2 inches by 5 1/2 inches with my Tim Holtz Maxi Trimmer and folded it in half while using my Teflon Bone Folder to make it fold nicely, this will be my card base/front.

I chose to work with the Primrose digi stamp set from Imagine That Digi Stamp which you can get HERE. I used the Primrose bouquet and the Happy Birthday sentiment and resized the bouquet to about 3 1/4 inch by 2 1/2 inch and the sentiment was resized to about 2 3/4 by 1/2 an inch on a Word document and printed out onto some A5 sized X-Press It Blending Card.

I coloured the Primrose image with Copic Markers (Y08, YG67, G29, RV21 and RV23).

Then I used my Brother Scan N Cut to cut the Primrose image out and went around the image with a Memento Tuxedo Black to make the image look a bit nicer.

I used a blending brush to apply some Distress Ink in the colour Spun Sugar onto some A5 sized X-Press It Blending Card so then I could use a My Favorite Things die called Single Stitch Line Oval (which may be retired as I cannot find it on their online store) with my Sizzix Big Shot to cut out a cute oval frame to go around the Primrose image. I applied the same ink to the sentiment and used a Heffy Doodle die called Strips of Ease to cut the sentiment out but altered the width using my Sizzix Big Shot.

I adhered the oval, sentiment and image onto the card front/base with Art Glitter Clear Adhesive. I then decided the card wasn't completely finished yet so found some flat back pearls in my craft room and adhered the pearls with some Ranger Glossy Accents as that glue is really strong for this type of embellishment. 

And that's a wrap for my Primrose birthday card for Jo's Scrap Shack Design Team!

I hope you will come and join us at Jo's Scrap Shack's #274 Fun-Day Friday Challenge!

Kindred Stamps ~ 2017 December Release Blog Hop ~ Demon Hunters

Hi everyone,

I am the lucky last on the Kindred Stamps Blog Hop! 😊 This is my first time being a Guest Designer for any company and also my first time participating in a Blog Hop!

I am so excited to show you all my projects for the Kindred Stamps 2017 December Release! When I was asked to be apart of the December Release and given this Demon Hunters stamp set I squealed! 😄

I made 3 projects which include an A2 card, an interactive A2 card and 2 bookmarks!

I will firstly start off with the 2 bookmarks. 😊

I die cut the bookmarks using a My Favorite Things die with some white cardstock and then used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks for the backgrounds. The Angel one I used "Peeled Paint" and for Moose and Squirrel I used "Broken China". I stamped the bees from a Lawn Fawn stamp set on the Angel bookmark and the sentiment 'my PEOPLE skills are RUSTY' from Demon Hunters with Brilliance Graphite Black ink. Moose and Squirrel sentiment 'Emotionally Attached to Fictional Characters' from Demon Hunters was also stamped with Brilliance Graphite Black ink, the star background is a stamp set from Lawn Fawn and I used Brilliance Galaxy Gold ink. I added some clear Wink of Stella to the bees and Angel's wings. I then laminated both bookmarks and then punched a hole using a Fiskars punch and then threaded some black and white twine through the punched holes.

________________________________________________

Let's move onto the A2 interactive card! 😄

 

First I cut my card base at 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches, and folded it in half. Then I cut the card frame (black cardstock) using My Favorite Things A2 Rectangle STAX Set 1 ( 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" ).

I used another My Favorite Things die - A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Set 2 ( 4" x 5 1/4" ) for the card front using kraft cardstock, to make an interactive opening window for the card using a Lawn Fawn die. I used a My Favorite Things stamp for the 'Merry Christmas' sentiment and stamped with VersaMark ink then heat embossed it with some WOW! Embossing Powder. I thought the card front was a bit too...plain, so I added a cute red button and some red sequins to make the card POP! I also added some clear Wink of Stella for a bit of sparkle to the Angel's wings.

Let's take a look inside the interactive card! 😊

I made a Christmas-y background on some white cardstock using Tim Holtz Distress ink "Abandoned Coral" and Distress Oxide ink "Cracked Pistachio" and then carefully used a water sprayer to spritz water onto the pistachio colour to make it look more fun.

I used an alphabet stamp set from Lawn Fawn to create the 'TO: YOU, FROM: and &' and I used 'MOOSE' and 'SQUIRREL' from the Demon Hunters set using Brilliance Graphite Black ink.

The Christmas hats were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black from a Lawn Fawn stamp set (one was mirror image stamped), I used Copic Ciao markers to colour them in and then added some clear Wink of Stella for a bit of sparkle.

________________________________________________

Last but not least, the A2 card! 😄

 

First I cut my card base at 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches, and folded it in half. Then I cut the card frame (black cardstock) using My Favorite Things A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Set 1 ( 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" ).

I cut the card front with My Favorite Things A2 Rectangle STAX Set 1 ( 4" x 5 1/4" ).

I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink "Forest Moss" for the grass, "Faded Jeans" and "Black Soot" for the night sky and then used Brilliance Starlite Silver with a paint brush to splatter on some "stars".

I used a My Favorite Things die for the sentiment which I cut from some kraft cardstock, the sentiment 'My Prince Charming hunts demons, ghosts and monsters, has a brother and likes pie' was stamped with Brilliance Graphite Black ink.

________________________________________________

All of the Angel, Moose, Squirrel and Car images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto X-Press It Blending Card so I could use my alcohol markers to colour them in. Everything was adhered with Tombow Multi Mono Liquid Glue.

Auzz Trinklets N Crafts ~ Christmas

Hi everyone,

This month's theme is Christmas at Auzz Trinklets N Crafts and I have a BEARY cute card to show you all. 🐻🎄

~My Process~

First I cut my card base at 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches, and folded it in half. Then I cut my card front (kraft cardstock) using My Favorite Things "A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Set 1" ( 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" ).

I stamped the 'Merry Christmas' sentiment using Mama Elephant's "Bella Letters" with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks "Candied Apple" and "Lucky Clover" with the Tim Holtz stamp platform. I did one colour at a time and carefully removed the ink from either side of the stamp to achieve the 'two-tone multicoloured look'
I then cut out the sentiment with My Favorite Things "Stitched Fishtail Flags STAX" ( 5/8" x 4 1/2" ) die using the Sizzix Big Shot but altered the length.

I stamped the tree, star and tree trunk from My Favorite Things "Oh Christmas Trees" with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks "Fossilized Amber", "Lucky Clover" and "Walnut Stain". The hats, bears and presents were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink so I could use my Copic Ciao markers to colour the images in. The bears are from Heffy Doodle's "Beary Big Heart" and the hats and presents are from Lawn Fawn's "Holiday Party Animal". I coloured the images in and cut them all out, the pink bear image is originally hugging a love heart, but I cut around the bear as I only wanted to use the bear in this project.

I adhered the card front, sentiment and images with Tombow's Permanent Adhesive Tape Runner.

I added some Wink of Stella to the white on the christmas hats, ribbons on the presents and the star. I originally had nothing on the tree, but it looked unfinished so I added Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops "White Blizzard" to represent baubles and I used a Wink of Stella fine tip pen to 'join' the baubles together to look like sparkly tinsel. I also added some Sakura black glaze pen for the bears noses.

~Products Used~

Accessories: • Sizzix Big Shot • Tim Holtz Stamp Platform • Poppy Crafts 210gsm A4 Premium White Cardstock • Sakura Gelly Roll Glaze: Black • Memento Pen: Tuxedo Black • Martha Stewart mini scoreboard • Tombow Permanent Adhesive Tape Runner • Copic Ciao markers: C0, Y17, RV02, RV10, RV29, BV02, B00, BG01 • Tonic Studios Nuvo Glitter Drops: White Blizzard • Wink of Stella brush pen: Clear • Wink of Stella fine tip pen: Clear •

Auzz Trinklets N Crafts ~ Pets and Animals 2

Hi everyone,

This month's theme is Pets and Animals at Auzz Trinklets N Crafts and I have another cute card to show you all. This one will be going to my 7 year old cousin for her 8th birthday, she loves dogs and I thought this would make her feel very happy when she receives it on her birthday and knowing her favourite cousin handmade it for her. 😛

~My Process~

First I cut my card base at 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches, and folded it in half. Then I cut my card front (blue cardstock) using My Favorite Things A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Set 1 ( 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" ).

I cut out the grass hill with Lawn Fawn's "Stitched Hillside Borders" die then put it through the Sizzix Big Shot with My Favorite Things A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Set 1 ( 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" ).

I cut the clouds using Lawn Fawn's "Simple Puffy Clouds" die, adhered it to the card front using Tombow's Multi Mono Liquid Glue and stamped the sentiment 'YAPPY BIRTHDAY!' from Mama Elephant's "Playful Pups" with the Tim Holtz Stamp Platform using Versafine Onyx Black ink.

I stamped the trees from "Snow Day" by Lawn Fawn using Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Evergreen Bough. Once cut out, I went over the trees with the ink pad dabbing them until I was happy with the result.

I stamped the dog "Lunar Animals" and birthday cake "Unicorns and Rainbows" by Mama Elephant using Memento Tuxedo Black on some X-Press It Blending Card so I could use my Copics to colour in the images. I didn't like having the cloud on the cake image, so I carefully trimmed it off using some scissors.

I adhered the card front to the card base using my ATG gun, everything else was adhered with Tombow Multi Mono Liquid Glue.

I added some Wink of Stella to the icing on the cake and Sakura black glaze pen for the dog's nose and eyes for some dimension.

Auzz Trinklets N Crafts ~ Rainbows

Hi everyone,

This is my first time posting for the Auzz Trinklets N Crafts blog, I'm so honoured to be a part of Auzz Trinklets N Crafts Design Team and can't wait to show you my creations.

This month's theme is Rainbows and I have a cute colourful card to show you all.

~My Process~

First I used Poppy Crafts 210gsm Premium White Cardstock to cut my card base at 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches, and folded it in half. Then I cut my card front at 5 1/2 by 4 1/4 inches.

I used the Tim Holtz Stamp Platform to stamp the circles from Lawn Fawn's "Let's Bokeh" with Tim Holtz Distress Inks (Abandoned Coral, Shaded Lilac, Spun Sugar, Squeezed Lemonade, Cracked Pistachio and Mermaid Lagoon). The Stamp Platform is amazing because it lets you stamp repeatedly in the same spot, which is fantastic when using Distress Inks in particular.

I stamped the bear from My Favorite Things "Friends Furever", the paintbrush and pail from Lawn Fawn's "Chirpy Chirp Chirp" and the little rainbow from My Favorite Things "Magical Unicorns" on to watercolour paper with Versafine Onyx Black ink. Tim Holtz Distress Inks are also great for watercolouring, which I did using a regular paintbrush. I added White Blizzard Nuvo Drops to the paint brush and the paint pail. To add dimension to the bear's eyes and nose I went over them with a black Sakura glaze pen.

Using the same watercolour paper, I cut the stitched square from Lawn Fawn's "Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up". I stamped 'YOU COLOR MY WORLD' from Lawn Fawn's "Starry Backdrops" in Versafine Onyx Black, then heat embossed it with WOW! Clear Gloss embossing powder. To add some colour I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks (Wild Honey and Brushed Corduroy).

My card front was adhered to the base using an ATG gun. Art Glitter Clear Adhesive is great for attaching small pieces, like the paintbrush on to the bear's hand. I used X-Press It high tack foam tape to add dimension for the sentiment, bear, pail and rainbow.
