Sending you some Gorjuss love

Hi it's Jodene and I'm just popping in with a quick card share.  I made this card using one of the gorgeous card kits from the Bizzy Becs Online Store, as well as my new Gorjuss Girl stamps. I just couldn't wait to ink her up and colour her in with my Copics. Isn't she just the cutest?

Supplies:

Stamps: Gorjuss Girl from Bizzy Becs.  Sentiment was done on the computer.

Cardstsock and Paper: From the Bizzy Becs Card Kit.

Other: Copic markes, stitching. Ribbon was also from the card kit.

And YES, there is still time to join in the Spots & Stripes August Challenge!  

You can find all of the details HERE.

Hoot Hoot



I have to admit I am a bit of an owl lover and so it is no surprise I have a few owl dies! This lil cutie is a Cottage Cutz owl die! I am doing my best to make sure I use each and every one of my dies - after all i do NEED them all! You can purchase Cottage Cutz dies from Bizzy Becs. The paper I have used is from the "Everyday Eclectic" range by Echo Park and I have used my trusty nestability dies.

Don't forget there is still plenty of time to enter the "Spots and Stripes" challenge, you could win the fabulous Winterland Memory Box Die!

See you soon with the next challenge!

My First Chrismas Card for 2012

Happy Sunday everyone,

I've just spent a lovely day resting at home and putting together this card. My first of many christmas cards to give away. 
I've used a Magnolia image and coloured her with my trusty copic pens. I've added some stickles to make her glitter, liquid pearls, Memory box Frostyville Border die and the paper I used was My Minds Eye (and I loved this paper so much I have two packs) and yes it was last years release and I've only just used the first papers out of the pack.. You buy it cause its so pretty and then it just looks at you and says "I'm too pretty to use".. ha ha 
Now don't forget you can get the Magnolia stamps, glitter and paper from Bizzy Bec's online store 

 Please let me know what you think .. 

Now dont forget you still have time to enter this month's Bizzy Bec Challenge of Spots and Stripes!!! and below is the fab Winterland Tree Memory box die you could win!!

Halo Tilda

Hi there and I hope everyone is well and doing fine.  Can you believe it is August already?  I don't know how that sneaked up on me so quickly but it's here now!  I have a card made with Magnolia's Halo Tilda, available from Bec's store and used Copic markers to colour her.  The image is coloured with Copics and I've used the Memory Box Elegant Scrollwork Die which is also available from Bec's. 

While you are here, be sure to check out and enter the latest challenge and then head on over to Bec's Online Store to see what new goodies she's got for us.

Blue Butterfly Birthday

Hi there! I hope you are all having a great weekend, and managing to find some time for the fun stuff (like stamping).

I currently have my mum visiting from Sydney so no stamping time for me, but I did manage to make this card earlier in the week and wanted to share it with you.

I used the totally cute Blue Butterfly Digi Image called 'A Present For You' which is available in the Bizzy Bec's Store HERE, and I have coloured her using my Copic markers. I added the Kaiser Pearls from Bec's store which you can also find here. And just for effect I added a little glitter to her dress, after all what is a party dress without a little sparkle right?

Supplies:
Image: Blue Butterfly Digi Image
Cardstock: Pink, green, white. DSP: Kaiser
Other: Pink Ribbon, Kaiser pearls, copic markers.


Happy Stamping,
Jodene

Marianne Designables

 

Hi Everyone,
Marilyn here and today I wanted to how you a super quick card which was created using a Marianne Designables folder.   It really doesn't get any easier than this because these folders cut and emboss at the same time and within hardly any time at all, you have an elegant but super quick card finished.  I'd searched all over for this folder so when Bec had them available for pre-order, I snapped one up.  I see she has lots available for pre-order,  all the different styles and today, they are on sale for 15% off.   This particular folder is #DS0912 and the sentiment is one from Whimsy Stamps Time Flies Sentiment Set.

Hello friend.

Hi there! It's Jodene here, and I just wanted to take a minute to share a card I made using the adorable new CC Designs stamp 'Cherry Lucy' which you can find HERE.

She was such fun to colour with my Copics.  And I have used the papers from the Kaiser paper pad 'Hippy Girl', which is currently on sale in the store. I just love the colours in this paper collection!

And while I'm here, I just wanted to remind you that there is still time to play along with this months Challenge ;)

Supplies:

Image: CC Designs Cherry Lucy

Paper: Kaiser Hippy Girl collection

Other: Kaiser pearls, pink satin ribbon, nestabilities, Copic markers, stitching.

Paper Bag Card

Hi everyone Karen here.  Today I would like to share with you a card that I made for a dear friend and work collegue. The inspiration for the card came from the current Magnolia Ink magazine No 3 2012.  It is a Paper Bag Card.  The image used is a Magnolia stamp called "Flower Pot Tilda " and  " Barbed Wire Background"  and has been  coloured  with copics.  Magnolia stamps can be be purchased here

                                                                         Front of Card

To make the card I had to modify the measurements given  slightly due to the difference between  measurements as I used a paper bag that was a little larger 30cm x 16cm.  After folding the bag in half I attached my layers of cream cardstock and patterned paper to the front back and inside before adding the finishing touches.

                                                             Inside of Card

To create an area to sign I inserted two pieces of cream cardstock to which I added the heart tag with pearls and ribbon to create a pull out tab.

Be sure to visit Becs online store to check out all the new additions.

Don't forget there is also time to enter into our current June Colour Challenge, so keep those entries coming.  There is another fabulous prize available for this months winner.

Happy crafting

Karen



Little Heart!

Hello everyone! Kelly here and I wanted to share with you all a card I have made featuring one of the sweet stamps from Gorjuss Girls called 'little heart'. I just love this range of stamps! I have paper pieced her dress and hair bow (first time I have tried this technique and I love it!) and coloured the rest of her with copics and added some glossy accents. My glittery swirl is a Cheery Lynn die called 'fanciful flourish' and I added some sequins and bling to it.

Don't forget you still have time to enter our latest challenge with the bright and colourful bowl of skittle for inspiration! You are all so talented and I love seeing what you all make.
