"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.

Silhouette Scrapbook Page.

Hello, it's Carol with you today and I am going to share a scrapbook page I made using my Cameo, stamps and a stencil. (As if me scrapbooking wasn't enough of a shock, I tackled stenciling too eek!)

As some of you know, a few of us Team Hurley girls went to the NEC in Birmingham to meet up with Sarah to discuss a lot of exciting new things happening in the very near future...watch this space! We also popped over to the Stitches Show and saw lots of luscious new pretties that are due to hit the shops soon, so start saving lol. One of my favourites were the new Shinhan Touch Pens, and I can't wait to get my grubby wee mitts on some of those, anyway I digress sorry!

One of Sarah's lovely friends Diane took this amazing picture of all of us, and I just had to do a LO with it.

I decided to use my Cameo as Sarah has amazing files in the Silhouette Store that are just perfect for scrapbooking.

Here's how I made my LO.

1  I used the Square Page Mat from the Silhouette Store and cut it out full size on a sheet of DCWV paper.

2 I picked the Team Hurley Corporate Colour of mint green for the base for the mat, and decided to use one of Sarah's Stencils to make my own background. I used my favourite Distress Ink combo of Peacock Feathers and Picked Raspberry.

3 Being a stencil novice, I opted to use Scotch tape(washi would do too) and taped the edges of the stencil to my craft mat, and taped some scrap paper to the edges that were on the base layer.

4  Once I had moved my stencil around the base and covered it in pretty stars I popped my cut out Square Page Mat onto the base.

5 I love using arrows in my LO's and had to use the Hand Drawn Arrow Doodles on my page. I ungrouped the set, deleted the ones I didn't want to use and then resized the arrows using the Scale tool. And extra stars of course and the Doodle Stars are perfect for this. I separated them onto separate sides so I could make two different colours of arrows and stars.

6  And here is the finished LO!

7  And a close up to show the amount of dimension on the page.

Cloudy Day.

Hi, it's Carol here today! Hope everyone is well and looking forward to the new week ahead of them. Exciting times for some of us #TeamHurley girls as we are all heading to Birmingham at the weekend for a meet up...totally hyper in this household...anyway I digress.

Today I am going to share a  card I made using the stunning new Large Tiger Butterfly stamp,  Doodle Home Stamps and Sentiment Stamps. I even got out the Distress Inks and got inky!

1 Stamp the gorgeous butterfly using embossing ink, cover with clear powder and heat. Take a piece of 5 3/4" square card and stamp with the 3 different clouds from the Doodle Home set, cover with embossing powder and heat.

2 Look out the colours of Distress Inks you would like to use and get inky!

3 Fussy cut the butterfly, add to the card using 3d foam. Stamp a sentiment onto some card, punch it out then distress the edges. I popped some wee sparkly gems on the antennae of the butterfly and the sentiment.
