Case Study

Good morning ! 

Another beautiful day in store for us by the look of it.

I finally managed to get through my ironing mountain yesterday and decided to treat myself this morning by locking myself away to craft !

I just loved the new Case Study Challenge and this one reminded me of some Papertrey Ink stamps I purchased I while back (with the aid of a good friend !) and have sadly been left neglected since :(  So, grabbing these unopened stamps and the amazing Hero Arts Neon Inks, I set to work !

Here is the Case Study piccie

and my card !

Thank you so much for your visit and I hope you have a great sunny Thursday !

What a beautiful week its been, I could get used to this !

It's that time of the week again, it's Wednesday and that can only mean one thing......time to announce our next challenge over at Simon Says Challenge !! 

Thank you to everyone who joined in last week with our last challenge.  We had lots of wonderful entries !

This week our challenge is 

Masculine/Father's Day

As its Father's Day on 16th June we are dedicating this challenge to all the boys and men in our lives !

We are showcasing Tim Holtz products this week, you don't have to use them, but if you have them we would love to see them :-)

As usual Heidi will be giving one lucky entrant a $50 voucher to her FANTASTIC Simon Says Stamp Superstore !!

Oooh I had fun making this card and adding all those "splats" to my card !  I used Broken China Distress Ink from a re-inker bottle.  Because the ink was quite thick, I watered a couple of drops down with some water and then "splatted" it on with a paint brush.  It took me back to my Primary School days !  I keep a 12x12 pizza box that papers have been delivered in especially for mucky creative jobs like this !!

You can see a list of everything I used below with a link to it in the Simon Says Stamp Store.

The DT have made some amazing cards for your inspiration again this week.  We look forward to seeing all your creations !

Thank you so much for your visit and I hope you have a great Wednesday !

Good morning and welcome to another challenge over at BasicGrey Challenges.

Well, it looks as though we were right to set this next challenge - there is a glorious week ahead to come by the sound of it !

This next fortnight's challenge is

Fun In The Sun !

Please do remember that to be eligible to win our prize, you must use at least one Basic Grey product.

We are of course being sponsored by the fantastic Simon Says Stamp who will be giving the lucky winner a $25 spending spree to spend in their store !

I just love this new sun die which is from the Simon Says Stamp Summer 2013 Release and I've seen a number of cards made using glitter card but I used Basic Grey "Origins" seeing as this is BasicGrey Challenges !

Now, I don't know if it will be just me but I was wondering how on earth I would space those sun rays because once die cut, the rays are all separate of course !  Anyway, this is how I did it :

You can see the die in the top of the picture so you know what it looks like.
I attached the negative of the die cut to the front of my card with a tiny piece of magic tape and then added the rays back into the die cut just like a jigsaw puzzle, gluing them at the same time.  Once all the pieces were glued into the die cut, I carefully lifted it from the card to reveal just the cut pieces.

I hope that has helped as if you are like me, you get confused by such things !!! hehehe !

As always, I have listed all the goodies I have used on this card below with links to them.

The rest of the DT have made some amazing creations for your inspiration again, check them out !

Thank you so much for your visit and have a great Saturday !
