10 minute card, because it never takes just 5.

Just made a really quick card in 10 minutes not 5...Really. LOL.

Yes Really, AND by the time I had a vision, or pinched an idea of Pinterest, that takes 3 days. AND find at least 5 minutes of spare time, which then takes another day. AND actually sit down to make the card, Well I don't sit, I stand and run around after things, kids and chickens, because I can...there's my 10 minutes...

But I am happy with it...I've also used the very vanilla, because I am waiting for more whisper white card stock, my biggy favourite...

A simple two stamp set card, with few colours, and one card stock. EASY right. Of course it is, give it a go...Also trying out the Envelope punch board for the curved corners...so easy... :)





Here is a video to see how it works.

Regarding Dahlias


Ooopppss I am supposed to be cleaning and tidying up my crafty space. But had the urge to play with Regarding Dahlias, love this stamp...

I had another practice of using my acrylic blocks as a stamp with interesting outcomes...

The first card I have inked the edges of the block and stamped to the white naturals card. and then over the top with the flower...I stamped twice more and fussy cut the flower...mat it up in a matching colour and black...love this look...


I didn't stop there though, lol. In the next card I inked the block and this time spritzed it with water and stamped the same image and sentiment with the same layout. I wanted a more subtle background and I used a paler pink.

And here are few others I played around with trying to use up my scrappy and some retired bits...on a roll...

Stamp your background to make the pattern
Stamp 3 and cut them into squares to fit. Border them up.

Stamp a strip to make a pattern and a feature for your card
Decorative Label window cutout highlighting the flower
AND LASTLY!

Before I really should pack up :)

Tile it, Score your card and stamp to the grooved side. The first one I pressed too hard and it leaked into the grooves. You'll have to be patient trying this technique...

Which one is your favourite? Packing up now...sigh.

Regarding Dahlias

Regarding Dahlias stamp is my first time favourite out of the new Annual Catalogue...But there is more...I love the large chevron stamp as well...Here is a card I've made recently and I am very fond of it...Have fun looking.




I've used Smoky Slate, a new colour, for stamping the flower and the happy birthday, and then basic gray as the backing mount. I've then used Melon Mambo as the chevron stamp colouring in behind. I didn't think I had enough colour as a base, hence the block stamp effect..AND I love the way it turned out


In all it took me two days to complete 6 cards and a lot of mucking around with colour combos. lol, But I am happy now...:)
