Sunrise Sailing

Posted in Cards, Masculine by

Hi there!
Well, it has certainly been a long time between posts. I am still here and still crafting, and feeling like I am starting again from scratch with cardmaking and blog posts. But sometimes, that’s how life goes.
While I have been doing a fair bit of crafting, I haven’t been doing any cardmaking, there’s been a lot of crochet, journal making and pyrography, and I might start sharing some of those here as well as my papercrafting.

Despite all of the challenges I have been facing over the last few months, I am still a member of the lovely Design Team for Craftin’ Round The World Challenges. And today’s card is using the Sunrise Sailing stamp set and coordinating embossing folder, along with some of the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper which will be available in the upcoming mini catalogue, available on the 3rd September, and which also contains a lot of gorgeous Christmas goodies!

That’s it for today, thanks for reading along.
Happy stamping,
Chris

Sketch #17 and Craftin Round The World

Posted in Cards by

Hi and welcome back to day 17 of my sketch challenge.
My card today uses the 17th Sketch from the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue and is my card for this month’s challenge at Craftin Round The World.
Here is sketch number 17 from Page 22 of the catalogue. If you would like to find Day 1 of the sketch challenge for the month of August, just click here.

I have used panels of the Country Woods Designer Series Paper, at 2.5cm in width by 13.5cm and spaced them evenly across my card base which is some Basic Beige cardstock.

For the centre panel I have a piece of Night of Navy cardstock cut to 7.5cm x 10.5cm, a piece of Basic Beige cardstock which is 7.3cm x 10.3cm, and then a piece of Basic White cardstock cut at 6cm x 8.5cm.

The stamped images are from Under The Moon stamp set, the ocean stamped in Misty Moonlight ink, the dolphin and sentiment (from the Poised Peony stamp set) in Night of Navy ink, and the clouds in Basic Beige ink.

I quite like the combination of the blue colours teamed with Basic Beige. What do you think?

That’s it for me today.
Happy stamping!
Chris

Craftin’ Round The World Challenge

Posted in Cards by

Welcome back. Today I am sharing a card I made for this month’s Craftin’ Round The World Challenges.

I’ve made a Winter themed card for this challenge, and since I am in Australia, we are in the middle of winter now. Winter is not aligned with Christmas for us here, so I wanted to make a winter card that is not also a Christmas card.

I have used some of the retired One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Papers along with a piece of Die Cut fence from something else that retired some time ago – sorry, I can’t remember what the name of that one was. Sometimes it’s good to use up those random bits and pieces that are around.

We love to see your creations, so come and share your projects with us. Craftin’ Round the World is a Facebook group that is closed, so is a safe place for you to share your projects. Come and join in the fun.
The link to the group is here.

Happy stamping!

Inspired By A Song

Posted in Cards by

The Beatles Song “And Your Bird Can Sing” is the inspiration for my Design Team project for Craftin’ Round The World Challenges today, and I had so much fun creating this card.

I have used the new Basic Beige cardstock for the card base and also the next layer, which has been stamped tone on tone with Basic Beige ink and the Stippled Roses stamp set.
I have taken a piece of old sheet music – I’ve been a musician since I was very young, so there’s plenty of it lying around – and I have scrunched it up before sponging some Crumb Cake ink around the edges and on the raised areas.

I’ve used some of the Country Woods Designer Series Paper and the Country Birdhouse Dies to create the bird house. For those cute little birds I have used the reverse image technique, of stamping the image from the Country Birdhouse bundle onto a Silicone Craft Sheet in Memento Black ink, and then pressing a piece of white cardstock over the image, which in effect, reverses the image when it goes onto the cardstock. Perhaps this is a good time for me to get back into doing Facebook Live and YouTube videos to demonstrate that one.

If you are on Facebook (or even if you are not), come and share your projects with us at Craftin’ Round the World Challenges, we love to see what you have been creating.

And don’t forget that the Country Birdhouse Bundle, and all the Bundles are an extra 10% off the already discounted price until the end of June, and you can find them in my online store.
Happy stamping!
Chris

Craftin’ Round The World Challenge

Posted in Cards, Flowers by

Good morning and if this is your first time visiting, welcome to my crafting blog.

I was honoured to be asked to become a Design Team member for the Craftin’ Round the World Challenges. This is a monthly challenge held on Facebook, where there are two different themes to choose from, which you can combine, or choose one at a time. And for my card today, I have chosen the Monochromatic Theme.

My card uses heaps of the Stampin’ Up! green colours including Soft Sea Foam, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Granny Apple Green, and Lemon Lime Twist.
The beautiful Magnolia image has been stamped in Soft Sea Foam on basic white cardstock before being die cut using the matching dies. And the leaves come from the Magnolia Mood Dies and the Stippled Roses Dies.

If you would like to join our challenge you can find us here in the closed Facebook group, where you are very welcome to share your own projects.

Happy stamping,
Chris
