Dragonfly Dreams July Challenge

Posted in Cards by Chris

The theme for July at Dragonfly Dreams is Midsummer Delight, and our sponsor is Lawn Fawn.
It is, of course, mid Winter here in Australia, so I quite enjoyed thinking about Summer and all the things I love about the warmer months, in particular, spending time at the beach in the sunshine.
So my card for this challenge is focused on the beach and sunshine. 🙂

I have used some papers from the new Stampin’ Up! Cherry On Top Designer Series Paper Stack for my card, with the lovely bright and summery colours. I have combined some stamp sets for this card, the sun is from the Kinda Eclectic set, the star fish and little crab are from the Sea Street set, and the sentiment from the Work of Art set.

Happy stamping!

Simply Papercraft Challenge #8

Posted in Cards by Chris

Our sponsor for the next fortnight at Simply Papercraft is Morgan’s Artworld.

I have used the Garden image for my card, and wanted to keep the colours bright and cheerful, since we are having such a cold winter in this part of Australia.

The image is coloured using Copic markers, and layered over some of the gorgeous papers from the Stampin’ Up! Cherry On Top Designer Series Paper Stack.
I hope you will join us and share your papercrafting projects with us at Simply Papercrafts this fortnight.
Happy stamping!

The Male Room Design Team

Posted in Cards, Masculine by Chris

Very excited again today, I can finally let you know that I have been asked to be part of the wonderful team of designers with one of my favourite challenges at The Male Room!

I have been holding on to that piece of information for a while now, but very happy to be able to share it now 🙂
This week’s challenge is to add a tag to your project:

I thought I would keep my card quite clean and simple today, and use one of the gorgeous new Stampin’ Up! In Colours, called Tip Top Taupe! Cool name!

The striped patterned paper come from the Cherry On Top Designer Series Paper Stack. I have created a tag using the Scalloped Tag Topper punch, with some Faux Stitching around the edge and some Natural Chevron Ribbon through the top. The globe image comes from the Traveler stamp set, definitely a favourite for making masculine cards!
Looking forward to sharing heaps of masculine cards with you, and to seeing all of your projects. So please share them with us at The Male Room.
Happy stamping!
Chris
