Animals at Sweet Stampin' Challenge.

 It's time to share my card for Sweet Stampin' Challenge.  Our challenge this fortnight is "Animals"

Took me a while to choose what Animal I wanted to use.   Went through my stamp sets and came across a couple of Crafter's Companion sets - and chose to use Simply Wild About You.  

Went with a very simple card...  die cut a Gina K Master Layouts 2 stitched rectangle and stamped the zebra  and sentiment.   Added some green and blue ink blending and then used a Tim Holtz spritzer tool (see below) - and some green watercolour markers to make some grass. 

Finished with some black dots.

Doughnuts and Sprinkles

Hi there.   I'm sharing my card for Die Cut Divas  - the last day of the month in the USA -

Di's Digi Stamps is our sponsor this month and our theme is Animals.

I used a cute little image called "Doughnuts and Sprinkles"

I used a Spellbinder's die to cut out my printed image and used some Prismacolour pencils to colour it in.  I cut a Catherine Pooler Doily die out of black card to frame my image.  I found some pretty paper in my stash and made a 13.5cm square card.   The little sentiment stamp is from a NZ company called Hastings Rubber Stamps - it was the perfect size to add to my circle.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I'm still working from home and think I will be for some time to come despite New Zealand moving to Level 3 on our alert system.  Still social distancing and sticking mainly to you own "bubble" - stay home if you can, work from home and keep your kids home if you can.  More businesses can open, construction has restarted and you can get takeaways provided it can be contact-less. 

Yippeeh!

I made this card for the final day of the June challenge at Die Cut Divas and then complete forgot to post it here.... Our theme for June was Animals/Pets.

I used a stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs

 This is a smaller than normal size card.  I used the little squirrel from the set and cut it out on my ScanNCut.  The tree trunk was stamp directly onto the background..

Thanks for stopping by.

Panda Birthday

It's my day to share at Die Cut Divas.... Our theme this month is Animals/Pets

Our lovely sponsor this month is Frantic Stamper Inc... and they have some awesome animal stamps you could use for our challenge.

They are also providing a cute little die for a prize for our winner this month

Super cute.

So here is my card.... a CAS cutie

This adorable Panda was stamped and cut with my ScanNCut machine.  I used my trusty Cuttlebug to emboss at each end of the panel with the cute little paw prints.  The butterfly is also cut with my machine.  Love the ScanNCut now I'm getting used to it.

Do come and join us for this months Animals/Pets challenge. 

Little Panda for you

This month at my NZ Cardmakers swap our theme is "Animal" - however that takes your fancy.  I chose to send Carol a little whimsical Panda on my card

I used an idea I saw in the magazine I got the stamp and embossing folder from.  I made a blue die cut frame and used some embossed vellum.  I stamped all the elements and and fussy cut them.  They are coloured with watercolour pencils and Wink of Stella.

Packing almost complete and just one more day at work and then we are away!  Getting excited.

thanks for stopping by today.
