The theme this week worked in well for me as I had a first birthday to go to,

so I hit two birds with one stone! I just love pink and lace so this is a very me card!

Isn't the little cow out of Barnyard Babies cute!!

 

 

 

 

 I'm so in love with the thin gold metallic thred!

INKspired blog hop 22

Dads the word this week!



 

Welcome to another INKspired Sketch blog hop! 

I'm sure that Narelle has shown you all some beautiful work.

 

 Wow how the weeks are flying by and its scary to think Christmas is in the back of my mind, approaching super fast! We also have a new Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue coming out soon full of CHRISTMAS, so it has got me super excited!! 

 

(Ok Renee take a deep breath

and calm down!!)

 

This week however the focus is on my Dad as its his birthday today!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!

 

 

 

This is the sketch that wonderfully kind Teneale presented us with this week!!

 

 

 

Ok so I must admit I'm a straight lines girl or like a circle kinda girl!!!

This was a testing sketch as I just wanted to straighten all the pieces and layer it up. However I restrained and stayed true to the sketch! Yay me!!

 

 

Here is the finished product!

 

 

 

 I do really love this stamp set its so fun and super versatile.

 

I made the background by cutting the balloon shape out of a piece of scrap

paper with the Balloon framelits.

I then used it as a template and sponged in Real Red, Daffodil Delight,

Smoky Slate and Island Indigo.

I overlapped them so don't be scared to go a little crazy, as at first I was scared to overlap them but in the end it looked much better to have it a little random.

 

 

 This final picture is the inside of the card

 

 

 

Here I used both cut outs of the balloon framelits. The out side one as my main template but also the actual balloon shape to put over the balloon I previously sponged to make each image crisp and not blend each colour together with my sponge.

 

 

I hope I have given you some inspiration this blog hop.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

However I'm going to go and enjoy some watermelon cake!

 

Have a great day and go and get some ink on those fingers!

INKspired Blog hop 21

More and more babies

Hello and welcome to another INKspired blog hop! Before me on the hop this week is Maree McIntosh and I'm sure she has something interesting to show us!

 
 

 

This Blog hop I have babies on my brain with my second sister due to pop any day and baby showers popping up here, there and everywhere ekkk!!! How exciting!!

SO with babies obviously my choice of topic this week I set out to create something fun and cute with this sketch as my guiding light!

(with thanks to Teneale Williams xx)

 

 

I didn't like this sketch to begin with however it grew on me and by the end I had created two cards! WOO HOO go me!! LOL

 

 

 

So first it was the boys!

 

 

 

I just love this large bread tag! Here I cut it out of soft sky and then pierced around the out side using the paper piercer and a template out of the eclectic paper piercing pack.

The joy and the cute little bows either side of the baby banner were cut out of brushed gold paper, isn't it just sweet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I love the little Toucan out of zoo babies stamped in Mint Macaron.

 

 

 

 

 

 Then its the girls turn!
With this card I turned the sketch on the side. 

The tag I cut out of blushing bride and the tea doily behind makes it so pretty for a sweet new baby.

This time I used linen thread for the bows and a very vintage button!

 
 
 

 
 

I then pierced around the out side of the card, I feel this finished the card off.

INKspired Blog Hop 20

Butterfly

 

Hi all, its so nice to be back playing along with all the lovely INKspired girls!

 

Just before me is Narelle Macey

 

Well I have been away from my stampin up life for almost three months travelling  some very special parts of the world! I must admit I found it a little hard to find my stampin mojo this week, but I am so glad I played along and "jumped back on the horse".

 

This fortnight I had some very special people to make cards

for as there were birthdays here there and every where.

 

I always find it easier to create when I have some one in mind!

 

 

 

Here is the sketch we are working with this fortnight.

 

 

I played around with a few ideas but they just weren't "right" so with the new butterfly stamps I started playing!

 

Here is the card I came up with....

 

 

 

I cut the cute little butterflies out of Pool Party card using the Bold Butterfly framelits die, and I used the Butterflies thinlits die to cut the butterfly outline out of the Elegant Eggplant panel.

 

 

 

I just love how the butterflies dance off the side of the card!

 

 

 

 Elegant Eggplant, Pool Party and Crumb Cake

look so sweet together, a combination that I must say I stumbled across.

 

 

 

 

 

This week You have the chance to WIN!!!

Your Amazing!!

 

Pretty flowers for a sweet friend!

 

 

 

 

 

Hello and welcome,

 

 

I made this card super quickly as a last minuet card for a friend. It always surprises me what I come up with under pressure. Some time I can sit for hours procrastinating over a card, and then I create a card like this in minuets. So simple easy and I love it!

 

 

 

 

The background is the beautiful Stampin' Up! stamp set Indescribable gift stamped in Crumb Cake ink on Very Vanilla card stock.

 

 

 

 

 

 

These beautiful flowers are a single stamp called Love Is Kindness stamped in Momento ink and its coloured in Old Olive and Wisteria wonder blendies (blendabilities) I placed it on a piece of So Saffron card stock punched out with the Label Bracket punch and of course some Jute Twine.

 

Finally the sentiment is from the set Painted Petals stamped in Rich Razzleberry.

 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by

Renee

 

 

Amendment:

Unfortunately due to quality issues

Blendabilities are no longer available through Stampin' Up!

INKspired Scetch Bloghop 13

Hi all and welcome to the thirteenth INKspired sketch blog hop. You may have just come from Narelle Macey or started here Welcome!

 

Each fortnight we get a new sketch to INKspire us. These are designed by the beautiful Teneale Williams. I love the Inspiration of these sketches.

Some are very testing and others help me to create works of art that I love.

 

This is the 13th sketch,

 

 

Now I didn't follow this sketch too a tee, however in my defence it was the creative inspiration behind the card I created this week for a friend to give to her sister!

The bref she gave me was a card for her sisters baby shower and she knew she was having a girl.

 

To all you card makers out there u would understand that this was a hard one hey!

So I went with my gut and my personal taste after all she asked me to make the card so she obviously likes my style, right!

 

This is the card!!

 

 

 

 

 

 This is the inside of the card.

The good news is she loved it and so did I.

 I love pretty things and pink so this card ticks all the boxes.

 

I hope you like it too and you can forgive me for not sticking exactly to the sketch!

   

Next up is the lovely Teneale Williams

 

 Be sure to hop all the way around and check out all the girls!
