Cute Card Thursday #131

Hi again everyone!! Two posts in one evening you will all be wondering what the heck is going on! I received a parcel in the mail today from my very good friend Sherry. I was like an excited schoolgirl opening it up. The card I have made tonight has put to good use some of the wonderful things from within that parcel. The stamp set it very vintage and to die for as well as the very current Halloween 6x6 paper pad and matching chipboard from Cosmo Cricket. I found this challenge over at Cute Card Thursday on the weekend so I decided to give it a go.

Here is my interpretation of the sketch above. I just love it. Gosh I love Halloween. Okay that is the last post from me tonight.

In the meantime. . . .

Waltzing Mouse challenge #16

Hi everyone. I hope you are all enjoying your Monday. For me here it is nearly 6.15pm at night in Australia and I am just about to have dinner but I thought I would get this card posted first before I went and ate. This is a new challenge by Waltzing Mouse, for me this week but I liked how it was set out so I decided to do it as Sherry and I were skyping again lol.

I used SU cardstock, scalloped oval punch and oval punch as well as Oval All stamp set which I just love and SU Basic Black stamp pad. If you would like to know what DSP paper I used then please don't hesitate to email me or leave me a comment and I will let you know the name of it. Okay I am off to dinner now.

In the meantime. . . .

Technostamper #140

Hi everyone. This is a challenge blog I have not seen before but Sherry assures me that it is a good one and after seeing the sketch I have to agree of course. So we made our cards while we skyped but I never seem to get my cards up on the day we make them for some unknown reason lol. This is the sketch over at Technostamper this week. . . .

. . . .and of course this is my take on the sketch. Once again I feel safe in saying the brands of all the products as we do not have access to all the Halloween goodness that Stampin Up! have to offer here in Australia like the demonstrators get in the US. So once again I used Basic Grey Eerie paper collection, Inkadinkadoo stamp set, Cuttlebug spiderweb embossing folder. All cardstock used is SU as is the little Boo stamp and tiny tag punch and string. I used Versamark and black embossing powder on the spiders and bat. The top note shape is a die from SU too. I hope you like my card because I just love it and anything Halloween in fact. So that is all for tonight gotta get to bed early for work tomorrow.

In the meantime. . . .

Walk about your day in spooky splendour.

Sasya's Sketches #29

Hi there everyone. Well this is another day which brings with it another challenge of course. I decided to do Sasya's sketch again this week.

I chose white cardstock then used my SU Weathered background stamp for the small section underneath the circles on the sketch. I used Pumpkin Pie for that. Now in Australia SU do not sell any Halloween product at all whereas in the US they do and let me tell you it is the most amazing stamps, papers and embellishments. So because we don't have access to it here I feel quite easy stating the brand of the paper line and embellishments that I used as well as the stamp set. The paper is Basic Grey Eerie collection and I used SU 1 inch circle punch to punch the paper out, the chipboard is from My Mind's Eye from 2009. The ribbon is from my stash. I hope you like what I have created and please feel free to leave comments. Comments are always appreciated.

In the meantime. . . .

Just Because. . . .I felt better!!!

Okay so I felt a little better today and decided to make a card just because lol. I had no challenge to follow, nothing needed to be met creatively speaking. So I sat and looked at my supplies, coughing and wheezing lol and decided on what to make. I bought the stamp set on the weekend when I went down to Tamworth to Spotlight. If you would like to know the details of this card please feel free to leave a comment and I will email you the dets.

It is a lovely simple little card that brightened my day (I crack me up sometimes). I am working all day tomorrow at the library so no chance to get creative until tomorrow night if I have enough energy.

In the meantime. . . .

Walk about your day without getting a cold.

Card Patterns - #82

Hi everyone!!!! I know I have been absent for a bit. It is called studying and being sick. I got a terrible flu and lost my voice etc which scrubby just loved hehehe. I now have my voice back but it is very very scratchy, some people have called it sexy I just call it dirty old woman ROTFLOL. Okay enough frivolity it makes me cough too much. I was well enough to get into my craft room and create a card so I decided to do the Card Patterns challenge this week. Nice sketch to follow. . . .

This is my interpretation of the sketch. I would also like to add that all supplies are from Stampin Up! I am in total love with the new vintage designer paper packs for the new catalogue people. I am also in the middle of creating a paper bag mini album using this SU paper collection as well as the Newspaper paper collection which is another of my favs. I am almost finished so I will show all when it is complete. If you are interested in ordering any of the new SU lines please drop me a line on thegypsycart@gmail.com and we can get those supplies to you asap. Sorry this is only for people in Australia. I am sure that if you lived in the US or NZ that you can contact a SU Demonstrator near you. Also the new vintage stamp sets to go with the gorgeous paper lines are also out of this world and I have used them time and again already hehehe. So drop me an email if you would like to order supplies or would like to peruse a catalogue. I am off to bed now.

In the meantime. . . .

Card Patterns - #80

Here I am back again with another challenge for you. This time I chose the Card Patterns sketch and as Sherry had already done this one she worked on another challenge while I did this one.

Here is my interpretation of the above sketch. . .

I really like this card even though I find it to also be clean and simple and you know me I love to put lots on my cards usually. I chose the same sentiment as I put on a card two weeks ago lol but I do love what it says. Okay so since I have to work tomorrow I had better get going.

In the meantime. . . .

FTL #106

Well hello strangers lol!!! I have been so busy studying etc that I have not had time to create which is not good for my soul. So today with my friend Sherry I rectified that. We skyped and made cards and laughed for quite some hours. First we did the Clean and Simple sketch below.

This is my interpretation of the above sketch. . .

I just love it and I typed the sentiment in Word myself as I did not seem to have a stamp to fit the images hehehe. Okay I am off to put up another post.

In the meantime. . . .
