Label Latch card 'Remi'

From Lara comes 'REMI'

Welcome back to my blog..... my second blog this week 'Whaaaat!'

 Today I am sharing a card I created using a tutorial by Monique Fielder. Monique made the tutorial for a group that I belong to, called 'We Stamp For Lara' . The groups aim is to help raise money for Lara & her parents to purchase items such as better pressure mattress to help make life that little bit more comfortable

Okay firstly. I don't have a pictures for the tutorial I used, as it is a PDF file for charity. But if you would like to join the group for this tutorial, and more fun card making instructions, please follow this link We Stamp For Lara or Contact Pauline Bennetts. It costs $25.00 to join and you get access to the 15 tutorials that will always be available.

Here is a picture of my card :)

Lets get down to the nut's and bolts of 'REMI'.

How I made 'REMI';

 As a creator I have alot of items from other companies, but I do try to use mostly Stampin' Up!® whenever I have the items available.The label on the front is not an SU item, but there is an awesome labels thinlet set available from Stampin' Up!® that I will be purchasing very soon, called 'Lots Of Labels'

• To start I used Basic black A4 card stock, left full length but trimmed down to 15cm wide.
• I then scored a line at 8cm on both ends.
• Using a labels thinlit on the right side I placed it centrally. I only put the first half die through the bigshot. You can cut the rest of the way with scissors to the fold line.
• Using the Hostess stamp 'Love You Lots'(only available to those lovelies who want to become a hostess for a Stampin' Up!® party or workshop, online or in home. I stamped the lady birds from  this set onto Whisper White thick A4 card stock. I wanted a scene for my cute little lady birds so I grabbed my pen, my ink pads (Real Red, Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzaz & my Craft Stampin' Ink Whisper White, ) & I grabbed my aqua painters & got to it.
• I decided that toadstools would be the easiest to draw. I drew one set for the front...scanned it onto the computer then printed the scanned image. I coloured both images and cut one with my circle thinlits for the right side above the label latch.
• I placed Real Red card stock over the Basic Black base & topped that with some pretty DSP. I backed the Whisper White stamped & drawn images with Basic Black before placing on top of the DSP.
• Using my Confetti Hearts border with a scrap of Real Red; I placed the hearts to look like they were falling onto the ladybirds heads.
• I cut the name 'REMI' & the number '1' using Red Glimmer paper.
• In my stash of little bits n' bobs (you know the one that we all seem to collect) I found a teeny tiny peg and 2 little wooden ladybirds. 'Fist Pump' and a loud 'YESSSSSS' lol They quickly became added extras for this cute card. 
• I finished the toadstools with a Wink of Stella in clear and gold.
• I also used Crystal Effects on  both of the front stamped images for added lift.
• Around the name 'REMI' I added Rhinestones Basic Jewels (smallest size) to some of the thistle seed centres.

Pop Of Pink 'You Are' PPA300 Sketch Challenge

Pop Of Pink

Welcome back to my Blog...I have been MIA  these last couple of weeks trying to keep up with my children hahahaha! No Hope, so I gave up and went creating instead.

I took a swing past Pals Paper Arts to see what challenges the creative masters were throwing down! I found this sketch challenge from Sandie Conner !

I thought about what I could showcase for you all, so you could see some of the great new products available in the newly released catalogue.

I remembered the gorgeous 'Pop Of Pink' DSP that I have in-stock from my Pre-Order, along with a new stamp and thinlit bundle   I had also purchased from the Catalogue.

I took some liberties with the #PPA300 design, but tried to keep true to the format as much as possible.

      Using coordinating colours from the DSP I made up my card bases.

I doubled the doilies so that the colour beneath didn't bleed through & the white stayed crisp and clear.

I cut 2 strips of wavy lines with the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits

& also I cut out the nests using all three sizes in the thinlits.

#popofpink #swirlybird #youare

I cut out the leaves using wild wasabi & the leaves from the Swirly Scribbles thinlits & the flowers using Blushing Bride and Melon Mambo. Using both the elegant  & the bitty butterfly punches with the DSP scraps to embellish the cards.

Adding the Gold Metallic Thread added some extra bling and carried through the gold from the DSP below. With the Brights Sequins Assortments adding sparkle to the centre of the small flowers. I used the largest scalloped square from the Layering Squares Framelits set + the normal square layered on top 1/2 size smaller.

I actually have never used Washi tape before "WHAT" I hear you gasp! I have always been and still am little timid of it...But I think it turned out quite nicely for this card. Might try it again now, lol

#popofpink #swirlybird #youare

I had noticed some of the waste centres from the medium nests were little swirls too. And I wondered if I could use them... I used them up here as an extra detail with the sweet little bird from the Swirly Bird stamp set. For the background on this card I grabbed my Melon Mambo ink and the splatter stamp from Swirly Bird set and just inked areas where I thought it would look good.
