Cards

Hello

First day of school holidays here! Great to enjoy some extra family time :-) Today I  just wanted to share some simple cards. I like to have a bit of a stash of handmade cards for when I need them.

I normally like to use a simple white or kraft cardstock as my base. Then adding layers and stitching. Also a favorite of mine is tags and twine.

 This Baby girl title was cut on my silhouette cameo in white cardstock and I coloured it with pink ink. This card is also different because it opens in the center. 

 I have also been playing with the sketch pen on my cameo, totally fun! I will share some pics next time.

Thanks for taking time to stop by my blog!
Have a great week :-)

MME - Miss Caroline : Dolled Up

Hello Again!

so soon you say! I have more layouts to share over the next few days. 

I really have been a bit selfish and not sharing much! hehe

Today

These pictures are of my gorgeous girl a year ago. We went for a walk through the bush near our home and along a boardwalk. The weather was perfect and her little smile was too!

Products Used : 

Papers -My Minds Eye : Miss Caroline - Dolled Up

Stickers - MME Day stickers

Dear Lizzy - date stamp

canvas corp - mini pegs

Tim Holtz - rosette flower die

washi tape, crate paper buttons, twine, white paint.

I LOVE these papers and I had fun drawing and cutting out the Chevron pattern and then putting it onto white card and machine stitching. To achieve the white splatters I have watered down some gesso and then dipped in my paint brush and lightly flicked my paint brush. If you are unsure what affect you will get just have a practice on some scrap paper it's fun! 

I thought I would leave you with some pics of some of my favorite things at the moment used on this layout.

I must go to bed now. I'm so excited we are off to see Mary Poppins tomorrow!

Thanks for stopping by :-)
