CAS-Colours and Sketches - The Double!

Good morning everyone!

We have a new challenge at CAS-Colours and Sketches and because May has 5 Thursdays, this week is a double challenge!

So here is what I came up with...

I have used Retro Fresh DSP and the Peachy Keen stamp set for my card.

I chose the colours for this challenge based on this DSP and I think these stamps work really well with it, don't you?

Thank you all for joining in my challenges during May! We have a new hostess next month...I wonder what she'll have in store for us?

Have a fab Thursday and I'll see you tomorrow :)

Video Tutorial for Peachy Keen camera and On Film Framelit bundle

Good morning!

I'm back from a fantastic week in Cambridge with all my fabby girlie friends! We had a really great time, even if I was completely plagued by a rotten cold! I am still suffering as I type this but it'll be gone soon, I'm sure!

Anyway, if you came by on Saturday during the Pinkies blog hop, you'll have seen the card I made using the Peachy Keen and On Film Framelit bundle, and I promised you a video on how to cut the camera out. (In case you didn't see it, it's here)

So here it is...I hope you find it useful!

Thanks for coming to visit today!

Pinkies Spring/Summer bloghop

Thank you for joining us on another Pinkies Blog Hop! We're showcasing lots of gorgeous projects 

using products from the new Stampin' Up!® Spring/Summer Catalogue. Simply use the buttons at the 

end of each post to keep hopping! 

Here is my project for this blog hop, and I have chosen to use the fabulous Peachy Keen stamp set and On Film framelit bundle and one of the stamps from Happy Watercolor.

I stamped the various elements in Bermuda Bay, Basic Black, Soft Sky and Baked Brown Sugar. 

The filmstrip, both arrows and the cute little camera are all from the On Film Framelits. I also cut out an extra 'lens' for the camera, popped it up on dimensionals and then covered with Crystal Effects to give a 3D glassy effect. 

I made this as a 'thank you' card as I plan to give it to a work colleague who has been giving me lessons on how to use the digital SLR he sold me and passing on his knowledge from his photography course!

Now, if you have this bundle, you will know that the camera stamp and the camera framelit don't line up as they are both the same way round, meaning you need to cut the camera from the back of the stamped image, rather than the front, which as you can imagine is somewhat tricky! Well, not anymore!

I have made a little video I made on how to cut it out, the easy way! And for those of you that haven't yet bought the bundle and may have been put off by this little quirk, now there's no excuse! I will be posting the video on Monday morning, so don't forget to come back and take a look!

EDIT: You can now view the video tutorial HERE!

An economical card!

Good morning!

I spent most of last night designing the inserts for a friend's wedding, which I have to say, I am extremely happy with...I hope Laura is just as happy! I'm sure I will be blogging them eventually!

Anyway, it's time for our new challenge this week at CAS - Colours and Sketches, and this week it's the double!

Here is my card...

This is what I call a very economical card...it only uses one stamp set! And it is a lovely new one from the Spring/Summer catalogue, called Peachy Keen.

I stamped the heart once onto the card blank, then stamped again, cut it out and popped it up on Dimensionals, after stamping the sentiment across the middle. The arrows are stamped in Blushing Bride and Soft Sky.

After I had photographed the card, I decided it needed a little something else, so I added some nail gem pearls...

What do you think? With or without pearls?

My new phone cover!

Hello all!

I got a new phone on Friday, which of course means a new phone cover! So, as I can never find one I like, I have made my own again!

I have used Gorgeous Grunge, Elements of Style and Peachy Keen to pretty up my case. The reason I chose this design is because my phone is kind of my 'lifeline'...it has all my numbers, my lists to organise myself, precious photos and it keeps me in touch with my most favourite people in the world! So, in short, life really is a matter of moments and my phone captures them all!

This is how it looks with the plastic case on it...

The colours I used are Island Indigo, Strawberry Slush and Basic Gray. I chose the colours as I totally love the combo...my favourite I think!

Hello Friend!

Hello!

It's Thursday which means it's time for a new challenge at CAS - Colours and Sketches! This week we have a fabby colour challenge!

And for a treat, I have used all new upcoming products, from both the Sale-a-Bration and the new Seasonal catalogues! 

I used the free Decorative Dots embossing folder from the Sale-a-Bration promotion, but I inked it with Perfect Plum before running through my Bigshot. I like the softer look than using coloured card, what do you think?

The sentiment and hearts are from the Peachy Keen stamp set and the film die cut is from the complimenting set of framelits.

I heat embossed both the hearts with Iridescent Ice and Clear Stampin' Emboss powders. I finished with a couple of Candy Dots and a Basic Rhinestone.

I used the sketch at Atlantic Hearts as inspiration.
