AnnaBelle Blog Sketch Challenge

Hi Guys,

I'm so excited to share with you my very first card for 'AnnaBelle's Bling Sketch Challenge' for AnnaBelles Stamps Blog.



I used the newly released AnnaBelle Stamps 'Holly Branch'. I stamped my sentiment in Gold embossing powder onto Whisper White card stock and I stamped the holly leaves in Versamark and heat embossed them with Gold embossing powder, coloured the leaves with my Old Olive SU! marker and hand cut them out and used dimensionals to pop them around my sentiment.
I also used some of the NEW Mini Sprinkles in Chilli for my holly's berries.

I layered my stamped image panel on some Chocolate Chip card stock, I used my Swiss Dots Embossing folder for my Old Olive Panel, mounted that onto Real Red Card stock, then on to my Chocolate Chip card base.

I finished off my card by putting Artichoke Mini Sprinkles in each four corners and made a bow from some White satin ribbon, once again using my bow easy.

Check out all the details over at AnnaBelle Stamps Blog if you want to play along, I would love you too lol and see the other DT girls wonderful creations!
Everyone can play and while your there don't forget to enter the Blog Candy for your chance to win some AWESOME goodies!

Have a wonderful Friday! Till next time, Take Care, Hugs and Smiles

AnnaBelle Stamps Christmas Release

Hi Guys,

Today is an exciting day as AnnaBelle Stamps release their new range of Christmas Stamp Sets and Mini Sprinkles in 5 awesome Christmas colours!

I have so much to tell you and have a card to share, that I'm giddy with excitement lol!

But before I share my card I want to tell you about some AWESOME Blog Candy Over at Andrea's Blog, so head over there for your chance to WIN all 3 new Christmas AnnaBelle Stamps, stamp sets and the 5 new Mini Sprinkles in the Christmas colours, how cool is that!

Onto my card lol, I used the new Jewelled Tree Stamp Set with some of the yummy new Mini Sprinkles in Cherry and Artichoke. The Mini Sprinkles come in the cute little pots are are a mix sizes of 3, 4 and 5mm and go perfect with the Jewelled Tree stamp Set!

So Here's My Card



I made an Easel Card and Andrea has a super easy tutorial on her blog which you can find HERE.
I stamped the 'Dotty Tree' in Veramark onto Whisper White card stock by Stampin' Up! and embossed it in silver embossing powder and randomly place the Cherry and Artichoke Mini Sprinkles onto the tree with a glue pen.
I also stamped the sentiment in Versamark, onto some red textured card stock from my stash lol and embossed it with silver embossing powder. I also did this for the star and cut it out and placed it on top of the tree.
I made the bow with my Bow Easy(love this little gadget lol)and placed this on the bottom of the tree.

So that's my card and I have to say that I was quite happy with how it turned out(I'm tooting my own horn lol)These Easel cards are so easy and fun to make!

A Simple Little Card

Hi Guys,

Hope your week is going well! It's the last few days of School Holidays and I'm so looking forward to Monday when the kids go back to school(mean hey lol)I think boredom has finally hit them lol!

Anyway I just want to share with you a super quick and simple card made using a stamp set called 'Mum's Flowers' by AnnaBelle Stamps

So here's my card

I kept it simple but I think it turned out cute and I just love using this stamp set, it's so cute lol!

I used my scallop Circle Nesties dies to make my card base in Pretty In Pink and a plain Nesties circle die for my layering mat.
I coloured the flower in using my Stampin' Up! markers and used a Blossom Sprinkle for the centre of the flower and the very light Pink satin ribbon I found in my stash.

I didn't want to add too many embellishments or stamped images as I was working with a small area and I think less is more if you know what I mean lol!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Till next time, Hugs and Smiles,
~Kylie~
