"Be Amazing" 10 minute make.

Hello, it's Carol here today and no it's not an April Fool lol.  Today I am sharing one of my "10 Minute Make" Cards made using just two stamp sets and some Distress Inks.

I love Sarah's Doodle Doll Stamps and how well they all work together, I used the arty extras from the Art Girl Stamps and the sentiment from Be Amazing Girl Stamps. It actually took me longer to decide which colours of ink to use, but that isn't unusual for me lol.

I cut a piece of white stamping card to size and got all my pretties ready to get creative.

I stamped a line out with the circles from the stamp set, then got the splash and brushstroke stamp and stamped them out in different colours. I just love the new Limited Edition Distress Inks, don't you? I stamped on the "Be Amazing" Sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink as a contrast to the pastel colours.

I used some double sided tape to stick it down to some lemon coloured paper and used my Perfect Layers ruler to make a wee border round the card. I then popped that onto my card blank.

Organiser Box.

Hello, it's Carol here today and I am going to share something I made using a range of Sarah's products.

As some of you have seen, I am in the process of jazzing up the inside of my boring old brown leather Filofax and thought it would be great if I had a wee weekly organiser on my desk so I could easily see what was on that week.  I decided to have a browse of the files available from Sarah's Silhouette Store and see what I could come up with. This project has LOTS of different files, so I will link them all at the end, go and grab a cuppa and a biccie and get comfy lol.

I had a couple of spare plastic storage boxes from Ikea and decided that one of these would be perfect for what I had in mind. I used the Days Of The Week Tabbed Journaling Cards as my base, as these were a perfect size for the box, and added some extras as I went. I made some cute Number Paperclips so I could highlight days I needed to plan ahead for. I made some Love Heart Paperclips,  Star Paperclips and Moustache Paperclips. I have some glassline envelopes from previous kits from Sarah so popped all my spare paperclips in there.

We all have calls that we need to make and forget about, so I made a Mobile Phone card so I can pop it in to whichever day I need to make my calls.  I had lots of speech bubbles leftover from a LO I made from the Speech Bubble Background and glued them onto pieces of card to be used for anything from ideas to reminders.

I used a few different stamps sets to add some details to the cards, and of course some pretty Washi Tape. Here are a few pictures to illustrate my finished make.

Time to try digital scrapbooking.

Hello, it's Carol here and it's my turn to share a creation with you. Today I will be sharing a digital scrapbooking layout page using Sarah's Be Mine Digital Kit. I decided to use a picture of our cat Aggie, her Sunday name is Agatha, and our surname is Christie so the typewriter in this kit is just perfect for  what I had in mind.

I used Digital Designer, but you can use Serif or any other software you are comfortable using. I chose to make the Lay Out 8x8 and used the Bubbles paper as my base, the colours in the kit all match perfectly and can be mixed and matched and that is really what I wanted to show with this page.

The kit has loads of awesome journalling cards that can be used for lots of different things from Project Life to notecards. I layered up a couple of those then popped Aggie's picture onto them, I added some teal striped washi tape to make it look like the piccie was stuck down. I thought the typewriter was perfect considering Aggie's name, and added a wee story onto the paper coming out of it.

I popped a cloud embellishment on, and some of the cute paper planes to add some extra prettiness to the page. And I love the heart border and couldn't resist it, I think it finishes the page of perfectly.

Made using Be Mine Digital Kit 

I hope you like this page, I had great fun making it and loved trying something different.

Remember there is still time to enter our Speech Bubble Challenge. 

Thanks for visiting today, have a good day, Carol xx

Fan-tashe-tic Inspiration.

Hello and welcome to the first of the new Design Team inspiration posts.  For my post I decided to use something from Sarah's range that I think is fan-tashe-tic, yip you guessed it - moustaches! I mean what is not to love about them? And the fact that they are so on-trend at the minute is only feeding my addiction.

I thought I would demonstrate how well Sarah's products work together to compliment each other and that you don't just need to stamp or use digi kits to create a great card. I know some people, including me, get nervous using hybrid crafting so here is an ideal way to have a play with your printer, stamps and if you have one, an electronic cutting machine.

I saw the moustaches in the Silhouette Store and thought I would make a card with a bookmark that can be kept and reused. I used the Moustache Paper Clips, using only the rectangular one and made it larger so it can be noticed in a book.  Whilst I was browsing I saw the Gentleman's Accessories and thought they would be great toppers for the card.  For my main background paper I used the Steampunk Kit as there are amazing digi papers and toppers in the kit, that's where my sentiment came from too. I printed it onto glossy photo paper and it looks even better in real life. I also used the brand new Moustache Background Stamp and I know I will be using it a lot more too.

 I wanted to show you the bookmard off the card, to illustrate that the card can still look awesome and the bookmark can be used as a wee gift for the card recipient to keep.
