Sketchy Boards Challenge - October 2019

Hello friends

Here is my DT layout for this months Sketchy Boards Challenge.

Girls like cars and gears/cogs right?? 

Well this little Miss Georgia has no chance of being a 

girly girl when she has two older brothers that love go carts 

and anything boisterous and grubby.

Grunge textures Christmas cards - Paper Rose

Yikes - it's October already..

Thought I'd better share a few Christmas Cards just in 

case you are starting to get organised for Christmas. 

These cards aren't the traditional colours. The colours and 

patterns in this new Grunge Textures paper pack are too nice 

not to use.

The stamps that I have used on these cards are from the gorgeous 

new  18225 Christmas Sentiments stamp set. There are 30....yes 30 small sentiment stamps in this pack, everyone one of them 

perfect to add to your Christmas cards.

This cute set of reindeer are from the 

17820 Reindeer Family die set.

The circle I have used on this card and the card below is 

from the 17415 Circle with Lines die set . This die set has 

two dies in it. I have used the larger outside circle to cut 

these circles. The circle on this card is the piece cut 

out from the card below. 

Stamping on a piece of the scrap Grunge Textures paper 

from this card and cutting it out with the 

17583 Banner 2 large makes a perfect sentiment on your card. 

Thanks for stopping by... hope this give you a little inspiration 

to help get you started with making your Christmas cards xx

Shaker Cards - Paper Rose

Good Morning everyone x

Today I have some cute fun shaker cards to show you.

On this card I have used the very cute 17427 - Monkey Love stamps and 17428 - Monkey Love matching dies. And to cut the peep hole circle I have used  16548 Stitched Circles dies and of course the lovely 16575 Stitched Rectangles die has been used.

I love the leaves used on this card. They are from the 

17973 - Ella's Garden Scribble Leaves Die Set. 

The circle has been cut from 16916 - Circle Frames Stitched Die set.

The lovely little sentiment is from the new release 

18183 - Lovely Florals Blossoms stamp set. And it has been stamped onto the smallest frame from the 16575 - Stitched Rectangles dies.

Last but not least...

I have once again used 16575 - Stitched Rectangles dies, 

16916 - Circle Frames Stitched Dies and 

17454 - Celebrate Layered dies to create this card. 

The green celebrate die cut has been embossed in clear 

embossing powder to give it the shiny look which works well 

with the shiny sequins.

Have a fabulous day....happy crafting xx

Mandala Love - Paper Rose Cards

Happy weekend 

Don't they come around quickly?!?!

Today I'm sharing some more Paper Rose love and it's all 

about their Mandala stencil. I have made three different cards 

using the same stencil but different techniques.

On this card I have used distress oxides and blending brushes.

These brushes are perfect for blending your colours through 

the stencil and great at getting into the finer details of 

a stencil. 

The card has been embellished with a couple 

of flowers, 17052 You're So Sweet stamp and 

17583 Banner 2 Large die.

My favourite...

Light moulding paste and distress oxide mixed together to 

the colour you want. Then the fun part of spreading it 

over the stencil that is on top of your card. 

Just like buttering your toast..

The stencil was taped down with washi tape onto the table 

so it didn't move.

Then die cut LOVE YOU from 16844 Alphabet dies, then add a couple 

of flowers and you have this gorgeous card!!

This card was a bit messy for me...

Those that know me well know I don't like getting colour on my hands. I certainly don't mind getting my hands dirty, just 

not a fan on colour on my hands. 

For this card I put distress oxide onto my messy mat, sprayed it with water and then laid my stencil onto the colour. 

The inky coloured side of the stencil is then laid onto 

the card, pat it down a little and then lift it off. 

I then repeated the process with a second colour. 

The die I used was 16951 - Layered Hello and just a few scribble lines around the edges and ...bam...you have another card.

Have a wonderful weekend crafty peeps xxx
