Something for Baby PCCCSC 141

Welcome to Winter in Melbourne - or so it feels!! But as Sydney and surrounding areas are currently underwater thanks to a huge deluge of rain we can not complain! Over 300mm of rain in a day has caused rivers to rise quickly and flooding is rampant across New South Wales.
But here in Melbourne, we have had a sunny morning that became a grey and cold afternoon and I suspect the temperature will be down to single digits overnight again.

And as it's Wednesday it's time for another sketch from The Paper Craft Crew. I hope you have a moment to pop on over and see all great ideas the Team has come up with to inspire you this week.

Here is the sketch:

And here is my card :

This was a sketch I did find quite tricky and so a real challenge!! But then we all appreciate how a good challenge can stretch us and help us grow as crafters don't we :-)

Happy stamping until next time,

Little Sunshine for the Paper Craft Crew

Welcome to a wet -ish Wednesday in Melbourne - maybe it's partly because Daylight Savings finished last weekend that it seems a lot wetter and colder lately? But I suspect it's more to do with us now being in the middle month of Autumn :-( Already the central heating is being used in the early mornings and the electric blanket is on the bed again too. I don't mind Autumn but am not looking forward to Winter.

But on a cheery note, it's time for another sketch from  The Paper Craft Crew! The Team have created a great variety of cards to inspire you this week so I hope you can take a moment and pop on over and check them out.

Now I have a friend expecting Baby number 4 - and in true 4th baby style, there is no indication as yet as to whether pink or blue will be needed. So I can only be 50% right or wrong with this card :-)

So I have used a mixture of Lost Lagoon Pool Party and some of the fun Saleabration DSP to go with the Little Sunshine stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a moment to pop on over to The Paper Craft Crew and see all the varied creations the Team have made with this sketch and I look forward to seeing what you too will create with this sketch.

Happy stamping until next time,

Hello Baby - SUO #80

Its another gorgeous day in Melbourne after a chilly start of only 6 degrees it has turned out to be a warm and sunny 21!
Today's card is an opportunity to take a short break from Christmas cards and to join in with SUO Challenges and make a Baby card. I know of a few people expecting babies in the next week or so - so it is good timing! So this card is for a boy - 50% chance it will be needed :-)

The Baby Tees's wheel is inked in Marina Mist and then coloured with a blender pen and cut out individually. I wanted the Tees to look like they were on a washing line.

So used a neutral brad (retired) and some Island Indigo Bakers Twine to make the "line". The background DSP is first run through the Big Shot with the honeycomb EF and then lightly sanded to make the hexagons stand out a bit more.

The individual Hexagon is stamped with the Six Sided Sampler stamp set using the polka dot image and the greeting is from the Tiny Tags set and is cut out with the Bitty Banner Framelits.

And the inside of the card is just run over with the Baby Tees wheel too.

Card stock: Marina Mist, Whisper White

Designer Series Paper: Polka Dot Parade

Stamps: Baby Tee's Jumbo Wheel, Tiny Tags, Six Sided Sampler

Accessories: Big Shot, Honeycomb EF, Bitty Banner Framelits, Basic pearls, Organza Ribbon, Island Indigo Bakers Twine, Blender Pen, Hexagon Punch, Corner Rounder punch, Neutral Brads (retired)

Happy stamping until next time,

Jan
