New Baby Mid-week Motivation

By
It's my turn again to do the Mid-week Motivation spot over on the Make My Monday challenge blog. The challenge this week is 'One for the Boys' so I have made a little congratulations note card to send to a new mum - take a look


This is a single stamp (from Stampin' Up of course!) and it was one of those stamps I just had to have! Usually I'm very sensible and think very carefully before making a purchase, thinking very hard about all the possibilities so that I can make the most of my money. Not so this time - as I said I just had to have it!
Today I have stamped it onto Naturals White card stock with Midnight Muse ink. I then used an aqua painter to gently move the ink around and colour the image in. No other colours are needed.
Here's a pic of the inside - I couldn't resist using my Sale-a-bration elephant again!


Materials
Stamps: Two by Two, Sassy Salutations, Patterned Occasions
Ink: Midnight Muse, Gumball Green, Marina Mist
Card Stock: Whisper White, Naturals White
Paper: Polka Dot Parade DSP
Accessories: Aqua Painter, Scallop Edge Punch, Owl Builder Punch (red hearts), Window Framelits
(See all the info on ordering in the top tabs - all products listed above are Stampin' Up).

Hope this inspires you to have a go at our Masculine challenge this week - see you soon - Jacqueline xx

Beauty of the Deep

I do love my nature stamps and I also love stamps of the sea whether it be above or below the waves. I have taken possession of a new set from the catalogue called Beauty of the Deep. I have made a card with this set as it lends it's self perfectly to the the new Boho Blue In Colour. It also has a gorgeous little fish which I couldn't wait to use - take a look Although I've mostly used blue ink I had added white highlights with a gel pen and then to finish it off a little sparkly blue gem. Thanks for stopping by today - if you wish to place an order or request a catalogue please drop me a message at  jacquelinenm68@gmail.com

Starting the Year with a Christmas Card

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx

In The Frame.

Yesterday was birthday and my lovely husband bought me some crafting stash. Unfortunately he duplicated an ink pad (Distress Ink - Tea Dye) but the craft shop where he bought it were very kind and let me exchange it for something else. That something was a fab little Crafty Individuals stamp. So I raced home, turned my craft room upside down looking for my EZ Mount, and made this card for this week's Less is More  challenge. This week the girls wanted a one layer card with the theme 'In the Frame' Here is my card I made this by first masking off an area in the center of the card - directly on to a 5" x 5" white card blank. Then using my brayer I added some yellow, blue and green ink to the card. The masks were removed and the image was stamped over the brayered square. Thanks ladies for another fantastic challenge - Jacqueline xx.
