Cards Competition Entry Paper Smooches Thank You

Thanks!

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

Is it terribly boring of me to show yet another Paper Smooches card? I just *LOVE* their stamps and seem to be using them a lot now that I am right back into the stamping zone. I can see this phase continuing for a while, especially since my new goodies will be here soon. Yay!

Oh I just read the Paper Smooches blog and they have a challenge to create something cute and fun to celebrate their 3rd anniversary. I’m not sure if this ticks the fun box but I think it ticks the cute box so I’m going to enter.

Here’s my card:

Thanks
Materials used: Stamps – A Little Lovin, Cosmos, Simply Said, Summer Groves (Paper Smooches); Wise Dies – Clouds (Paper Smooches); Cardstock – American Crafts; Copic Markers; Distress Ink and Hero Arts Shadow Ink.

Can you see the background sky? This is the effect I was trying for on my Dad’s birthday card before I gave up. I need a bit more practice. And yes, I did fussy cut the fence. lol

I’m just loving stamping at the moment – even if I have nothing to show for it at the end of the time. It’s just so much fun!

Hope you are all having fun!

Happy Stamping!

Cards Paper Smooches Stamping

Using up scraps!

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

I had (and still have! lol) a few off cuts sitting on my desk so just whipped up another card. It’s nothing special and I have no reason for making it other than I felt like it. lol Which reminds me….what do you all do with the cards you make just for fun? I have a growing pile and I really don’t know what to do with them all. Some I keep for birthdays and thank you’s but others…they just sit in the pile. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Here’s the card for today. Nothing fancy but a few scraps were used so that is a good thing.

Love
Materials used: Stamps – A Little Lovin, Simply Said (Paper Smooches); Patterned Paper – Poolside (Party with Amy Locurto by Pebbles); Cardstock (American Crafts); Distress Ink – Antique Linen; Spellbinders – Circles, Cuttlebug and Copic Markers.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Cards Lawn Fawn Paper Smooches Penny Black Stamping

More Love

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

Pinch and a Punch! Welcome to October!

As I have mentioned before, I usually stamp images more than once just in case I mess up, or want to explore different colour choices, for example. Since I had another stamped image of the Purrr-fect Friends! (from Penny Black) just sitting there on the table, I decided to finish it off and make another quick card. Turns out it wasn’t as quick as I had hoped but it was still fun.

Love
Materials used: Stamps – Purrr-fect Friends! 1746K (Penny Black), Simply Said (Paper Smooches), Critters Ever After (Lawn Fawn); Cardstock – American Crafts, Knight; Patterned Paper – 6×6 Paper Pad – True Love (Basic Grey); Copic Markers; Dies – Spellbinders Nestabilities – Standard Circles Small, Classic Scalloped Circles Large.

I partially die-cut the circle around the kitty cats/mouse (and decided it looked like it should be a snowglobe so there’s an idea for another day) to do something a little different. I’ve popped up the middle panel just a little to give it some extra dimension. It’s just a sweet little card.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Happy Stamping!

Hi Everyone,

It’s either a famine or a feast on my blog. lol Cannot quite believe I have a second posting for today.

Bev introduced me to the Less is More blog a couple of weeks ago but I haven’t been able to play along until today. As soon as I saw the sketch for this weeks challenge I *knew* what I wanted to do.

Here’s the sketch:

Less is More
Week 139 Sketch #10

For my card I have used another totally adorable Penny Black stamp called Purrr-fect Friends! I could just see the little kitty cats peeking through the circle in the middle. And so here we have it:

The inside of the card is just the stamped image but here it is:

Cards Lawn Fawn Paper Smooches Stamping

Welcome

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

I really wanted to create another scene card tonight so I grabbed my new stamp set from Paper Smooches “Promenade“. It has the sweetest little images and I think it is going to be a fun set to play with.

Here’s my first attempt at using the stamp set. I painted all the images using distress markers and then cut them out and layered them on the background. I pop dotted the two buildings to give a little dimension. It’s just a cute little scene. Will be playing around with this idea a bit more – different colours, layouts, etc. Should be fun.

Welcome
Materials used: Stamps – Promenade, Simply Said (Paper Smooches); Designer Paper – 6-1/2″ Paper Pad – Summer Breeze (KaiserCraft); Distress Inks; Distress Markers; Lawn Cuts (Lawn Fawn); and Lawn Trimmings (Lawn Fawn).

Thanks for visiting today! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy Stamping!

Hi Everyone,

Two posts in one day! Wow. Couldn’t help myself! Whipped up another little card for the Mojo Monday challenge.

Cards Paper Smooches Penny Black Stamping

Best Wishes

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

Ever have one of those days when things seem to go wrong from the time you wake up? Today was one of those days for me. Nothing overly bad, just little annoyances. And just when I thought the corner had been turned, the card I had almost finished colouring ended up with a huge splash of ink across the image – my own fault, of course. Oh well, it happens. I put that one aside, not sure if it can be salvaged at this stage, and decided to CASE a card I had made a few weeks ago.

I love this image from Penny Black (although, I think there is yet to be a Penny Black design which I don’t love, especially when it comes to these cute little critters!) I kept the card very simple as the image is just so pretty. I painted the design using the distress markers from Ranger. I just cannot stop using them – favourite colouring medium at the moment. Had a bit of trouble with the mouse so I might try it again. Other than that, it is just a nice sweet little greeting card.

Best Wishes
Materials used: Stamps – It’s Your Day! 1462K (Penny Black), Simply Said, Summer Groves (Paper Smooches); Cardstock – American Crafts, Knights; Distress Ink, Distress Markers and 6×6 Paper Pad – Serendipity (Basic Grey).

Hi

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all having, or have had, a great weekend! I had just come in from seeing The Internship (which I thoroughly enjoyed. Lots of laughs!) when I realised there was still time to create another card for the Paper Smooches Sparks challenge for this week. I love the sketch they have up but I don’t think my scene cards completely suit the sketch, or rather, my interpretation hasn’t quite worked. Incentive to try again, I think! lol

I love the little sheep from the Party Posse set – isn’t it cute! – so he was my go to choice for this card. In my mind I had the idea of counting sheep with sheep jumping over fences which is how the little picket fence came to be used. I decided to keep the card as a generic greeting card this time.

Here is my second entry into this week’s Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenge:
