Cute Critters Cards

Gday all,

Today I stumbled across a new web site www.pinkcatstudio.com whilst looking for digital stamps. I have heard a bit about them of late and thought I would set my self a challenge. Make at least 3 cards using only paper out of my off cuts box and my new digi stamp. This is what I came up with.

I know this will be my mums favourite one, it is definitely my daughters favourite because they both love yellow. Anyways I used Sassafras Lass Vintage YUMMY pleasantly puzzled for the back ground, the journaling block is a Sassafras Lass Anthem Sweet Treats cardstock sticker, all the words are from the Kaisercraft BABY acrylic stamp set and of course my digi stamp of the monkey riding the giraffe is from pink cat studio.

This one I scraplifted the general design from the pink cat studio website and used scraps of generic paper from my off cuts box.

This one I again used some generic scraps of paper out of my box, I gave the green oval some dimentional texture using my jewelry peg board as I am yet to get a die cut machine. I also put some little kindy glitz dots randomly down each side.

Well that's all folks. Cheers Donna

Graphic 45 Bathing Beauties Cards

Gday all

Ive gone a bit vintage crazy and when I found this new company Graphic 45 I instantly fell in love.

If your a scrapbooker and you like vintage your going to love their stuff.

Anyways I thought I would post a quick tutorial on how I made these gorgeous cards, so here goes.

I started out with a standard cream coloured card blank and lined it with the patterned side of the bathing beauties paper.

I cut a piece of corrugated cardboard 10.5 x 11.5 cm and rubbed my Timber Brown Stazon ink over it.

Next I grabbed my earthy red/brown ink and rubbed over as before.

I cut a piece of lace and layered it on the left hand side.

Then I pushed a large button through the middle of a burgundy silk flower and stitched it to the bottom left corner of the corrugated card.

I arranged 4 feathers as shown and stitched them to the corrugated card.

Next I slipped my bathing beauty gal under the flower and stuck her down with some glue dots. I also sewed on a button in the top right hand corner of the card.

I inked the edges on the outer side of my card blank and stamped the back. Then stuck my corrugated cardboard to the front added a little bird and a stamped and embossed flower and ....

Ta Daaa...

Hope your inspired to give these beautiful papers a go.

Cheers Donna
