Double Z Fold Card

Hi Everyone,

I have seen so many amazing Double Z Fold cards on Pinterest and really wanted to give this a try but at first glance they looked fairly tricky to create. I looked around online and found a tutorial on The Stamp Witch Blog and it was super easy to follow and i cannot thank her enough for posting this.

I wanted a fun and different card but because this is one i plan to be sending overseas i needed to be aware of posting it and costs etc. This folds fairly flat and is 41\2 in squared so a really good size.

For this card i used:

Black Cardstock - American Crafts
Sentiment Stamp - KaiserCraft
Ink - India Ink - Black
Square Die - Uniquely Creative
Christmas Tree Die - Free in Issue 123 Australian Simply Cards Magazine
Digital Papers - Nitwits Collections - Christmas Roman
Tutorial - Stamp Witch Blog Tutorial

Life is a circus

Hi everyone,

On a random note before i get on to this evenings card, is anyone having an issue with Blogger, i have some badges that i want to add to my blog but when i select add gadget and then try to add my own (which i am pretty sure is how i did it last time) it comes up with an error message. I have tried their suggestion and tried it on several computers but each time i get the same error message, SUPER frustrated so if you have any suggestions i would really appreciate them.

OK on to tonight's card, i am going through a phase with my new digi stamps from The Paper Shelter at the moment and i wanted a bright colour scheme. I had some of the free papers left over from my other card so when with pink and green. For someone who isn't a huge fan of pink i sure seem to be using a lot lately ha ha.

Isn't she a gorgeous image, she was a lot of fun to colour and i think she would suit a number of different colour schemes. But i must confess i keep looking at this card and thinking it needs something else but i just can't quite put my finger on it. The font for the sentiment i downloaded from Fontspace.com and i generated on my computer. I love that you can get so many amazing fonts online and i like being able to create my own sentiments in the size and style i want.

I used...

Black Card Blank from Kmart

papers are free from Australian Simply Cards

Image is from the Paper Shelter

Single Gems are by Kaiser Craft

I used spellbinders dies 

Copics 

Sakura Gelly Roll, Aqualip, Metallic and Glaze pens

Kenny K digital image - New colours for me

Hi everyone,


well i resisted the urge to do another Hannah Lynn card and this time chose Trouble by Kenny K, i am also a big fan of his images as i find them fun and funky. I am entering this one into the Cute Card Thursday challenge and this week's challenge is NEW, well this is definitely a new colour scheme for me as i have avoided colours like Lime Green in the past and i also wouldn't have dared to put lime green and pink together so this is definitely something NEW for me. I am trying to be a little more daring in my card making this year and trying to stray outside of my comfort zone as much as possible and so far i have been quite pleased with the result.

The patterned papers i got free in Australian Simply Cards magazine a while ago and have decided to be daring and use them.

The Image is Trouble by Kenny K and i love her, she is such fun

The image was coloured using my trusty Copics and next card i promise to make a note of the colours i use

The Card itself came from Kmart of all places and the pink pearlescent paper i used as backing i picked up at my local newsagent.

Cute Card Thursday Challenge

Well sadly its back to work after two weeks off over Christmas and New Year but i have to pay for my crafting supplies some how.
