Bugaboo Golf Cart - Happy 80th, Uncle Ted + WOYWW!

Well, amazingly in a blink! .. another Wednesday has arrived so that's WOYWW or What is On Your Workdesk Wednesday!

 Do join our wonderful head of Deskland, dear Julia of the Stamping Ground, over here.
While you're at it, would you all please say a special prayer for healing for Julia (and for successful surgery ASAP), fighting a brain tumour - see more on her post here. 

Okay, two weeks ago exactly this was my desk.. a real struggle going on here .. see that card.. I started it again four times! erk!
Here I was successful in getting the two colours to match, have my Bugaboo Golf cart image printed out ready to make a birthday card. I also had printed some tartan digi paper as golf had its origins at St Andrews in Scotland :D However you will see an issue with the top blue piece, because of cheap card, tape holding it, tore too far down. Hadn't realised the issue at this stage.

At first using Promarkers to colour it.. then had an idea (make it more complicated!! 3D it!). Used CB embossing folder "Branches" to emboss the grass coloured card.

At this stage it seems confusion reigns! Had ditched Promarkers for pencils.
Was onto my third lot of cardstock blue/green. I realised cheap card of number 1 wasn't going to work, so cut number 2.
However the curves of Curved Spellbinder die wouldn't join, ne'er the twain would met!
Here is number 3 all going well! You will see I have printed the teensy shirt out on the tartan Digi paper so as to paper piece it.
All good, till die cutting time. Sigh, forgot hadn't die cut it, glued 3D images on BEFORE die cutting with pierced rectangles. :(

Fourth start again ... phew! answered prayer, indeed! no mistakes ..the grass embossing flattens somewhat with rectangle die cutting but have to do it before 'cos only green is done. Have large (extra large!) golf ball made with Couture Creations EF "circles" cut with SB. Cut four clouds same size with IO (Impression Obsession) cloud die. While still in die, I rounded them vigorously with my finger nail to get extra dimension to them and make them nice and puffy.

Triple checking I have it right, before I glue it!! the digital sentiments are with Chisel Script, free font by Dafont.com added to Word.
I have tutorial on how to download it here.
Embossed greetings with clear EP, as a dense scrips, printed on smooth card.
If you use a shiny or really smooth surfaced card you are able to heat emboss it:
1. Smooth over surface to be printed on with embossing buddy (see how to make one here) before printing 2. As soon as out of printer add clear EP and heat set quickly.

Finished card - and jut for the record my very dear Uncle Ted's 80th birthday was just PAR-fect! God blessed in every way.

 To my Aussie shots now.. two taken by my sister (Robyn in Oz :D) on their visit down to South coast of NSW, at a place very aptly named!

Pretty Beach, a real treat visually in every way!

Some lounging lazily kangaroos at nap time in afternoon :D

Here it is ... Pretty Beach, one of its views, God's creation quite takes your breath way. I have few more to share later on.

Thanks so much every one for popping over for a peek as chat, and may God bless your day wherever you may be!  Shaz in Oz.x

Wedding Card Snippets ++++ with NBUS Challenge

Hullo there everyone! Well two cards to share ~ one made entirely on snippets only new items were the tape used and pearls !!! Think this is a record for a snippets card for me!

Oh, and some NBUS on both cards.

First card - snippets used - except base card. The Crafts Too blossom embossing folder + butterfly Vivienne MB are both new unused items. Inks (Distress) were shown on desk last post below. Card for someone in need.

A wedding card for a friend. The NBUS is the Gold labels 4 in the centre with greeting, I was able to emboss the printed digi after printing because of glossy sheen on card. All card used was from invites to wedding, except the base card which was a order of service from another wedding. So all printing on invites are on the back. The slightly tinted pink on bottom of petals of  Britannia Poinsettia dies is another piece on invite as it is the bubbly centre piece. SB Borderability Scalloped also used and popped up on each layer. Swirl is leaf swirl by memory Box. Initials are from Cuttlebug Olivia dies

 

Can see layering better here. The Embossing folder is Couture creations Tied Together. What was such an answer to prayer was found the font used on invite and matched perfectly (on Dafont - AdineKirnberg Script).

Also recycled the envelope by turning it inside out re-gluing it, and putting black and white music print washi on sticky edge of lick down part of envelope, now on outside. Wrote names by hand on the back.

Well thanks for peeking everyone, happy WOYWW and may God bless your day wherever you may be, Shaz in Oz. x

OSA Challenge Cards Sea with White Pen challenge

Over at Oriental Stamp Art group June challenge was to make a card with a sea scene and also for June the challenge was to use white pen.. as the time element was at a premium when for two simple cards..

 Method:
1. cut a frame on large sticky note with spellbinder think this one is labels 25 by Spellbinder.
2.Then used extra re-positional tape to attach it to card and cover up all of card except where you want stamp and colours to go..
3. then stamped stamps (and heat embossed as easier to do white pen then)..
4. then on swirl one used the PanPastels to colour it, but for second one used inks and like it much better. Just used ink daubers mostly with little extra ink on them, had used them on another work so were bit inky.
5. Then added the pen, and removed the masks.

 First card is Sea - a stamp from Artneko still current.http://www.artneko.com/displayItem/A127-SET3 Called "The Wave and the moon Bogo" Coloured with sponge daubers and ink, plus lots of white ink for foam etc. Second stamp which is just for the June Challenge was one I thought of when saw this challenge, a Leaf swirl stamp by Chocolate Baroque (UK), Kanji from Artneko too. "Thank you" is a digi made in Word with a Da font download called One Smear - see here http://www.dafont.com/one-smear.font
Also have another card to share... over at my friend Ginny's blog "Maxam Made" she has lots of freebie digis to share and the shells on this card are one of them.
When saw them, I bethought myself of a half done card in my reject or waiting pile - with an Our Daily Bread stamp "the Sea" masked, stamped and coloured with PanPastels month ago now. Had smeared on edge of plain white card - so needed to trim and mount it.

I printed two small copies of the shells, then 3'd then but as only two layers not sure if this is 3d? :D 
I made the Bible verse digi with a Dafont script (BD Renaissance) - see previous post below on how to install them onto Word .. its so much fun! The CB folder is swirls, with fancy labels by SB. I will paste it below but not sure if is is downloaded as it is just in m Word programme, not sure how to convert them to a png file.

Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,

neither have entered into the heart of man,

the things which God hath prepared

for them that love Him.

1 Corinthians 2:9b

What a privilege we have in our wonderful God! Let us all come to Him for our strength for the day and as our Guide for the way.. 

Every blessing, thanks so very much for popping over for a peek and chat and may god bless your day wherever you may be!
