Rev Up the Teenager

This is a card that we made this Friday at our "Stamp & Chat" night. We had a lot of fun with lots of show $ tell. I so love having the friends over once a month or so as they really inspire me too!
And I've also seen that this card meets the challenge criteria over at Stampin Up Only Challenges this week to make something masculine, Yay!! So please jump over and have a look at the great cards there  and have a go!

I used the tyre stamp from Rev Up the Fun ( thanks Katerina for letting me borrow your stamp set! I miss it already!!)  as a 4th Washi tape here and decided to cut the ends of the Washi to make an almost arrow shape. And then had fun adding some Gorgeous Grunge taking the colours from the Washi - Calypso Coral and Crumb Cake. The Rhinestones are just Basic Rhinestones coloured with a marker - it seems I can't make a card - even a masculine one - without some bling!! The banners were cut with scissors.

Card stock:Basic Black, Calypso Coral, Whisper White

Inks: Black Stazon, Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake

Stamps: Rev Up The Fun, Gorgeous Grunge

Accessories: Basic Rhinestones, Epic Day Washi Tape

It's Spring and the doggy friends are loving the warmer temperatures - though being Melbourne it is 25 one day and 17 the next so good to enjoy it when its "good." And obviously its such a hard life being a dog :-)

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,
