Beautiful world masculine set

 Hello and welcome back to my blog,

Firstly, apologies for the delay in posting this. I never anticipated that getting new floors & my daughter moving back home would delay me posting by 2 whole days! Sorry I couldn't post earlier but I'm back with some gorgeous masculine themed cards using the Beautiful World stamp set & the World Map dies. As I mentioned in my last post, I don't make enough masculine cards so the challenge was to use some retiring products as well as making some much needed male cards for my stash. Here's the cards I came up with for you......


I had a play around with colours, some new techniques & CASED some inspiration from Pinterest.


The card on the left used Soft Suede for the base with DSP from the World of Good specialty papers mounted on Basic White. I stamped the sentiments in Early Espresso & Crumb Cake, fussy cutting one & using the die from the Painted Labels dies for the other. I tied in the blue with a scrap of Night of Navy behind the larger sentiment. The centre strip & ink pot are mounted with dimensionals.
The card on the right has Early Espresso for the base with a layer of Cinnamon Cider embossed with the Old World Paper embossing folder. On top of this I layered a piece of Very Vanilla with the globe base stamped in Cinnamon Cider & the globe itself stamped in Seaside Spray. I wanted something different for the detail so I cut a small slit either side of the base of the globe and threaded some Cinnamon Cider in-colour ribbon & Braided Linen trim through & across the card. I added a sentiment in Early Espresso & finished with a few Champagne rhinestones to bling it up a little. Overall I'm very happy with the results. 😊 

It was very easy to create these cards & I was lucky enough to get my hands on the World of Good Memories & more card pack before it retired so I can happily create a whole heap of masculine cards for my stash when I get my unpacking sorted out. I really didn't have much more time to create with all the unpacking, furniture hunting, moving my daughter back home & having the house valued taking up so much time. I've really missed crafting & am looking forward to creating loads more again.

My next project is to create using something from the new Annual Catalogue that went live this week! I decided to use the beautiful Etched in Nature stamp set as it's such a lovely set.  If you'd like me to send you a catalogue or purchase something from my online shop then please click here http://www.stampinup.com.au?demoid=4023901

I hope you have a wonderful week & find time to pop back in next week. Thanks for dropping by & I'll see you next time. Bye for now.......XX Alison

Mid week blog #99 - Square tri-fold fun fold

Image
  Hello & welcome to my blog, My name is Alison & I am an independent Stampin' Up® demonstrator in Melbourne, Australia.  I love creating cards & gifts for my loved ones & this blog will show you how to create something special for those you love. I blog twice a week, once on a Sunday where I mainly showcase a stamp set or dies & sometimes special DSP. My second blog is mid week on a Wednesday where I look at techniques, colour challenges, card sketches, fun folds, tools & equipment & ways to make or improve your projects. That's what this blog is about. In this week's blog I'm sharing a fun fold I saw that looks really cool, allows you to use up DSP (if you're a bit of a hoarder like me or just have a little more than your should!) plus it's a lot easier to create than you'd first think. I took lots of pics to show you just how easy it is to create this style of fun fold. I hope you enjoy this post as I walk you through how I cre

Calendars & Christmas cards

 Welcome back everyone, I hope you've all had a lovely week. Melbourne is slowly getting back to 'normal' with families reconnecting, friends catching up and socialising back on track. Just in time too, with Christmas only 32 days away!! I hope you've been able to get started on your present shopping or maybe even finished? I've managed to cross a few more presents off my list thanks to the wonders of on-line shopping. I've also been making some more Christmas cards to add to my selling collection & had a lovely play with designs of mini calendars for an order from a colleague. Here's some pics of the calendars that I've made..... I'm very happy with how pretty the calendars turned out & hope my friend loves them too.  Now for some of the Christmas cards. I really loved the cards I've previously shown you using the Tag Buffet, Ornamental Envelope  & Christmas Gleaming stamp sets & wanted to have a play around with some different d

Tic Tac Toe challenge #174

Image
Hello & welcome to my blog, My name is Alison & I am an independent Stampin' Up® demonstrator in Melbourne, Australia. I love creating cards & gifts for my loved ones & this blog will show you how to create something special for those you love. Today's blog is all about making a card using a Tic Tac Toe themed challenge. Using the grid below I looked back over my creations & found a very special card I had made for a workmate to give to his niece. I would normally make a new card but this week has been rather challenging with my Mum being hospitalised. We weren't sure whether she'd make it but with lots of fluids & exceptional care from the staff at her nursing home she looks to be on the mend. I hope you understand & I hope you like what I've got to show you! This is the current Tic Tac Toe challenge, No. 74, that the card is based on. The principle of the challenge is there are 3 columns & 3 rows with a different focus in each squar

I am trying to be good & use up old stock so I've included some DSP & diecuts when creating. I hope you enjoy them. These 2 will go into my stash for upcoming birthdays. Male cards are always a premium aren't they? Here's how I made them. For the blue card I started with a Blueberry Bushel card base & added 2 mattes, one Night of Navy & one DSP from Rings of Love. I decided to offset them a little for a slightly differ
