Moving Along With The Times Challenge Blog | Feminine |Copic Coloring

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Hero Arts. This month's challenge theme is Feminine over on the blog Moving Along With The Times . I think we can all say this is an easy theme to use :) If you are anything like me Masculine is a hard theme to do.

 


Card Size is slightly smaller than US size 10.5 x 14cm (4 1/8 x 5 1/2) 
Feature Panel is the same size as the card base

Product List Below  
Hero Arts March 2025 Cardmaking Kit- I have linked to the subscription page as they don't seem to resale old kits. At least while typing this. They have recently revamped their kits.
 
Distress Inks
Tumbled Glass and Stormy Sky
 
 
Copics Used
B37, B34, B32 and B41
 
Sentiment is stamped with Versafine Black Onxy Ink. 
 
I used extra cardstock from the kit to layer up the panel. I decided this was easier them adding foam to everything and it would be very solid. The cardstock I used was Cascade, Bellini and Tutu
 
  
That is all from me today. Thank you for your time.

Moving Along With The Times Challenge Blog | One or More Butterflies

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Darkroom Door. It is a new month and the Challenge for you this month is One or More Butterflies over on the Moving Along With The Times Blog

 


Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 
Feature Panel Size 9.5 x 14cm (3 3/4 x 5 1/2) 
 
I must admit it is nice to have Darkroom Door back again. Yes, it isn't the original owner (who sadly passed away) but it is nice to see another stamp company surviving in these hard times for the craft industry. 
 
This card is fairly simple in design. I have stamped three different stamps and rotated the angle that I stamped them at. This will make it more random and natural. I added the bees to fill in gaps and for fun. They were a nice cute size.
 

 
 
Product List Below
Hero Arts May Cardmaking Kit 2025- Bee- these kits have changed since I got them. They don't sell off the old kits but I have linked where you can subscribe.

Paper Rose Perfect Pairs Paper Collection | Scraps

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Paper Rose.

 


Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 

After my first card using the Perfect Pairs collection I had alot of little pieces of paper. This card is purely made up of those papers.

Strips of paper were cut at 1.3cm wide and vary in length. 

 
Product List Below 
I used the So Extra Black 1.0 sentiment pack as these cards were a last minute sub-in and now discontinued. So I have linked the All Occasions Sentiment 22339 set which really is the set I mostly used. I had the So Extra on a retreat to use up.
 
 
This card is a mix of scraps and cut pieces. Glued down after working out a nice composition of colours.
 
 
 
Main panel is cut at 8.5cm x 13.5cm adhere to the far right edge. Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches aren't a big thing here in Australia but the image was soo cute and in the So Extra pack there was a perfect sentiment of "Hands Down, best ever" I personally have never tried it but it was soo cute I couldn't help myself. :)
 
That is all from me today. Thank you for your time.

Emma Puenktchen Ich Schenke Dir | Design team | Polychromo Pencils

Hi All, Today card is using products from Emma Puenktchen

 

 

I will let you in on a secret... The "Brick" down the side was a happy accident. When I printed out this image I also printed out lined designer paper and the margins weren't set right. My own fault, but I decided to go with the flow and use it and I think I really like how it turned out. I used the top three black- Cold Grey III to add shadow on the left over rectangles to make a "Brick" look.

Emma Puenktchen Niealleine Digi Stamp

Hi All, Today card is using products from Emma Puenktchen   

I have been so sick, this isn't a woe is me post but more letting you all know I haven't completely disappeared and videos will be back hopefully soon. But I will talk later about that and will do a video soon. Just trying to get my creative juices going again.


 

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8)

I have had a long battle with Asthma and 3 colds and 3 chest infections my lungs were a bit exhausted. Just when I hoped to get going again  off I go again. On top of that I had the Auction for the house and if you have ever done that... fun.. activity you would know, it is soo taxing.

Anywho, I was recently crafting with friends to get the old crafty feelings going. One had a roll of double sided tape on the table when I made this and it give me a prefect border around the image. When you purchase the image it has a pink circle around the elephant. I wanted to enhance it slightly and make it more noticeable.

With a careful hand, I lightly traced around the drawn line after rubbing most of it out so it wasn't as visible.  This also means I can use an eraser to light line if needed. Then around the pink line to make a frame. It isn't prefect but it is handmade not Hallmark.

I had a "light-source" from the top right so on the inside top right I applied some shadow and to the left side of the elephant as he would be providing a cast shadow. This gives some added dimension to our image.
