MAGICAL MERMAID

Magical Mermaid is such a sweet set. Not only does it have a couple of different sized mermaid images but it also has a few background or filler stamps to help create some wonderful scenes. 

I created this card using Powder Pink card with Whisper White and a touch of gold foil paper. I coloured the mermaids using Stampin' Write markers.

Happy crafting,

Rosalie

Little Cuties - Kittens Galore

Today I have a couple of quick and simple cards to share with you today.

I simply stamped the kitten from the Little Cuties stamp set on a piece of Whisper White to create a background for both of these cards.

The little kitten in the centre is coloured in using Stampin' Up! Watercolour Pencils and a blender pen. With this orange kitten, I had a little play with the colouring and tried to make him a little stripy.

Have a great day and I hope you join me again soon,
Rosalie

Thoughtful Branches for Halloween...

Stamps are amazing. With imagination almost anything is possible.

Today I have used the truck of a tree from the Thoughtful Branches set to create a couple of interesting backgrounds for my card.

These backgrounds also would of worked well with some punch art spiders in the centre.

Butterfly garden

Today the weather was stunning, the sun was shining, the birds were singing and some butterflies paid us a visit. With these images in my head, I went crafting.

I did something very unusual for me, and pulled out some pool party cardstock for my card base.

A garden is never complete without some butterflies joining the party.

A Subtle Girl - #GDP001

I am pretty exited today about playing along with a brand new challenge. Today I am using the very first Global Design Project Challenge to inspire my card.

These colours certainly did give me a challenge. I tend to be a "brights girl" or stick to classic black and white.

This the colour challenge which inspired my project today.

Thank you for joining me today. I hope you check out all the other projects that have entered in this challenge, and just maybe you may play along as well.

Crazy Crafters Colour Combo Blog Hop

Thanks for joining The Crazy Crafters team blog hop. This is time we had to choose a combo of colours from the Stampin' Up! pintrest board for inspiration. There were so many to choose from. As it is the July/August period and this is a huge birthday time in my family, I thought I should combine creating for the Blog Hop and doing some of the birthday cards I need to do. 

This is the picture which I took some inspiration from.

This is the tenth stop in our Colour Combo blog hop line. You should have just come from  Sue Wdowik at Nigh Nigh Birdie , if this is your first stop then you can work your way to every blog from here. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you the full hop. 

My first creation uses the new stamp set in the 2014-2015 Annual Catalogue called Boys Will Be Boys. This was actually on the top of my wish list when I first saw the catalogue. My son loves robots and lego, so I knew I would use it. Just because the term "boys" is used in the naming of this set, doesn't mean that it can't be used for girls. This card has been designed as a birthday card for a young girl, change the colours and it could be for either gender.

Boys Will Be Boys- Front

Boys Will Be Boys- Inside the card

In this card I've used a combination of Big News and Garden Party stamp sets, both are available in the current Annual Catalogue. I love the pretty little images in this stamp set, you can combine them in all sorts of ways.

Inside

This is my final card for this months Blog Hop, it uses the Be the Star stamp set. The group of small stars have been heat embossed in silver, to give the card that extra little something. I also used the star punch from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack Accents, punched out some Daffodil Delight card stock and raised them with dimensionals.
