Some Bunny Otter Love You

Hello.  Welcome.  Happy Valentines Day every one.  Hope you all got a little extra love today.  I decided to jump on the band wagon and make a little love giving card.  Here's Poppystamps Cupcake Party Bunny giving his heart to the otter from Christmas Friends.  Is so cute!!!!!

Keeping it black and white and red and heart full.  The die is Poppystamps Heartland Oval Frame.  I made a shaker and filled it with red sparkly bits from Doodles Paper Playground Garnet and Crown Jewels Sparkle Blends.  OK, I admit, I tipped out the blends and selected just the red sequins!!!  It's a labour of love........  I cut the white panel with Stamplorations Double Stitch rectangle die and mounted on a red and white stripey base card.

Snow Much Fun

Hello.  Welcome.  Mr Mojo is slowly waking up, just in time to join the Christmas Kickstart Challenge.  Jo has challenged us to get out the Festive Felines and I just couldn't resist using this Grouchy Snowman stamp from CC Designs.  

Isn't that image just adorbs!   I used the CC Designs sketch, coloured my image with Promarkers and blinged up the snowman with glitter glue.  I cut the panel with Stamplorations double stitch rectangle die and added some snowflake stickers and a sentiment from The Cat's Pyjamas Polar Holiday set.

Herd From a Friend

Hello.  Welcome.  It's been a bit quiet here in my little corner of blogland.  I got hit by the dreaded flu.  By hit I mean totally slammed dunked!!  Did you get the number of that elephant??  My goodness!!  If you've had it, my commiserations.  If you haven't, DON'T GO THERE!!!!   Uuufff.  Anyway, while I was incapacitated another fabulous reveal of the Card Chain challenge occurred.  Here's the card I sent to Jo in the UK based on the sketch and the option of friendship.  

I cut the card base with Stamplorations double stitch rectangle die and then stamped the circle from Rubber Dance Grunge Stuff, the stars from Christmas Cow and the sentiment from Beautiful Words using blue dye ink.  I stamped Cute Cow and coloured it and the circle with a blue brusho wash.  I fussy cut the cow, added some googly eyes and sent him on his way.......

You can check out all the cards that winged their way around the planet last month in the January Reveal.

If you would like to join the fun the February sign up is open until the 6th February, and the March one starts on the 7th.

In Ter Res Ting

Hello.  Welcome.  There is a curious little challenge going on over at the Unity Show and Tell fb group where they want you to stamp an image and leave it uncoloured, then use some patterned paper and let that be the star.  No high art here but some nice results and I decided that you might be interested in the idea, maybe also being an owner of a small stack of patterned paper, and that I may wish to remember this technique myself at a later date.  I actually made two cards.  

 

 

Here's the sheet of paper I started with...

 

This came from Nille (read woolworths/target type shop) a few years ago.  I picked up a few themed packs of 5 or 6 30 x 30 papers.  Some parts are embossed or have glitter on them.  This one is obviously wedding themed.  The first thing that caught my eye was the lovely border on the RHS

I cut a section of the border and added to a white card that I had stamped the image from Unity Big Time Special and then ran a chili red Promarker around the edges.  I think it works quite nicely with the heart balloon and the red glittery hearts on the patterned paper. 

Then I did this.  I liked that panel in the top left of the paper sheet with the two champagne glasses on it.  I stamped Unity George and Scarlett on white card and fussy cut them.  I cut out the panel and cut along the top of the lower frame so I could tuck their legs behind the frame.  I also cut along each side of the stem of the champagne glass so I could thread Scarlett's skirt behind the glass.  Love how that gives dimension to the glasses.  I mounted on a brown card base and used another piece of paper from the set t stamp the congratulations sentiment.  

As I said, interseting technique and a great way to use a bit of patterned paper.
