Stamp Barn cards

Happy Sunday!

I hope you are all well and enjoying your day.  I have some cards that I've put together using some stamps from The Stamp Barn .  The stair step card above uses stamps from one set - the flowers and grass really caught my eye.  I love making these cards as you can really utilise so many stamps on one project.  I distressed the edges of the paper as I wanted to create a shabby chic look/feel to this card.  Images are coloured with my Tombow markers.

Next, I finally tried one of these flower pot cards and they are so super easy and fun to do.  The pot is stamped with a Stamp Barn stamp as are both sentiments.  The flowers are from my Prima stash.  I need to find the right 'flower' stamp to create this card again without using primas! 

So there you have it for today!  Just some fun projects to share.  Hopefully I'll get some time today to get some challenge cards done!  I had a super busy day yesterday with my boys so today is definitely going to be a more relaxing one!! 

Thanks for visiting me today - I love seeing you here!  Enjoy your Sunday!

Hugs,

In the Red!!

Hey there! I guess I was in a very 'red' mood when I created these yesterday! I was enjoying the new background paper I just bought and was inspired to keep going! I did put these together yesterday - good thing too as I'm severely lacking sleep today due to my son's Beaver sleepover at the Science & Tech Museum last night! It was fun but I don't think I'm cut out to sleep on the floor anymore as my years progress closer to 40!!! I'll certainly be looking forward to my bed tonight!

Anyway, back to the cards and I hope you like what I've done here. The 2 square cards are pretty simple basic layouts with nothing particularly fancy going on but I have to say I do like the final look I achieved with them. I really love Tilda and the way I have the sentiment and stars being given as a 'gift' from her. The reindeer is a beautiful stamp from Penny Black which I embossed with platinum embossing powder. The nestability is my new set of classic scallop (lg) which I'm really enjoying!

Finally, I used the stair step design to create the angel chorus card which I think is totally adorable! The poinsettia and leaves are from the Prima flower christmas tin which I'm loving!! This was a very fun card to put together. So all in all I feel pretty good about utilising that one sheet of decorated paper in these cards. My Basic Grey Wassail paper pack just arrived so can't wait to start playing with those designs!

Hope you're all having a fabulous weekend!

Great to see you here and thanks for stopping by for a visit!

Tilda Stair Step Birthday Card!

Hi everyone! We had a gorgeous week of mild weather and sunshine so have been a little slack posting this week. Sorry about that but at least my yard work got done and I made the most of our sunshine days with my boys! Good thing too as we've woken up to rain this morning which is just perfect to hibernate in my craft room for the day, hehe!! Well, I finally got around to making another stair step card! I wanted to use Tilda as this card was to give out to a friend for her birthday. I thought I'd concentrate around fall colours and was really happy with the way it finished up. The ribbon tag used on the front panel is a new purchase from Nestabilities (3 ribbon tag die cuts). I LOVE IT!!! So with some new goodies in hand, I'm off to craft and create! Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend and getting a chance to ink up!

Thanks for stopping by!

Stair Step Card

This was yesterdays 'Try a New Technique' challenge TLC190 on Splitcoast Stampers. I loved it and thought I'd give it a go. This snowflake card was done really quickly and is just my 'trial' one. I hope to get back to my crafting table later today and do another one. It's certainly quick and easy and can be made to be as simple or embellished as you wish. Thanks for looking and be sure to check back later for hopefully another sample!! :)

Happy Stamping!
