Final Paper Smooches Challenge...

 

Hey,

So I am playing along with the final Paper Smooches challenge - 

One of my colleagues recently moved house and I made this card for her using the Paper Smooches Abode set.

I love the chair, it has so many possibilities and it is the reason I bought the set, during the closing sale.

I masked off the chair and stamped the shelf, so it is sitting behind the chair - love masking!

The whole card is super simple, I coloured it with Copics and added some Sakura Gelly Roll Starburst glitter pen touches here and there, most noticeably to the chair cushion.

So sad that it took me until PS were closing to find the challenge, how did I miss that all these years?!

New Home...

Hey,

Happy Monday to you!

I have had a fun 4 days squiring my Godson Ben around NYC. We fly back to London tonight.

Today's card, I made for a friend that recently bought a house, I had some stuff to send her too, so I thought a new home card would be fun.

It's a Silhouette cut file and super easy to use, all I had to do was resize it and add the spotty paper behind the cut-out house.

I always forget all the fun things I can do with my Silhouette, I actually long for more space, so it can be out and plugged in at all times.

My next post (Weds) will be live from London..

CASology: House..

Hey,

So I got another Honorable Mention over at CASology for my Father's Day card. I'm super pleased to be on a roll with my HMs

This week's cue card is very appropriate -

Hubby and I are spending the weekend with friends who have just moved and I was about to make them a new home card and saw the cue for this week!

I got very lucky at a recent Craftgang playdate, Ava gifted me a great New Home set - complete with dies!

I used it here for the house and the tree - I thought a mini scene would be fun. The sentiment is by Clearly Besotted and I added a bit of stenciling behind the scene to make it stand out a bit more.

Super simple make, I really like the cleanliness of it, kind of how you want your New Home to be right?

Yay! New Home...

Hey,

So one of my work colleagues recently bought her first home.

I wanted to make her a fun card.

When making things for friends that are designers I get a bit nervous...what if it's not good enough!

This card came together easily, I had a vision and it looks exactly as I wanted it to.

I used a great Studio Calico set for the landscape - it's called Howdy and I love the fact that the stamp is on an arc.

I added the sentiment by Simon Says Stamp and Clearly Besotted.

The colour was added using distress inks and an aquabrush..the stars came at the last minute, after I had photographed it, it looked flat, so I added them and took the photo again!!! OCD much?

Super simple but modern new home card.

A different new home...

Hey,

Shaker alert!!

One of the shaker pouches I made a couple of weeks ago made an excellent focal point for a new home card I wanted to make.

I added a house die cut - by Sizzix and Tim Holtz.  The congrats die and small scalloped circle are by Simon Says Stamp. The home sweet home stamp is by Fiskars.

The addition of the shaker pouch makes it a bit of an unusual new home card - me likey!
