Hi.  I can't believe it has been a month since I last posted anything.  Not sure where that time has gone.  Ah well - I have a couple of cards to show today.

The first uses Stampin Up embossing folder, feather stamps and framelets - a nice touch of gold on this one.

Next I have done a Christmas card but in un-traditional colours.

 

 

 

Lastly a home sweet home card.

 



 

 



Until next time - Judith

Hi All.  I know it has been a few weeks since I last posted - we have had some pretty cold weather here in Christchurch and I had my Mum visiting, so ran out of time.  But here goes ... one card to show you today.  I got the idea from a card I saw on Pinterest and changed a few things.  I have used the Stampin Up stamps - You've Got This, Work Of Art and Butterfly Basics.  I used Wink of Stella in the centre of the flower and a few sequins for bling.  Hope you like it ...

Nearly forgot - the flower and leaves have been coloured using Inktense pencils on watercolour paper.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by - Judith 

 



Welcome to Sunday.  After a couple of very dull days and rain here, it looks like today we will have a bit of sun - not bad when winter is just around the corner. 

Today I have just 1 card to show.  I was inspired by the colours and the use of chevrons with elephants from a Stamp Nation member, so this is my version. 

That's all for today.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend - Judith

Hi All.  I'd like to start by saying Happy Mother's Day to all the Mother's out there as today is Mother's Day here in NZ. 

My Mother's Day card this year was made using Stampin Up Butterfly Basics, with the inspiration for this card coming from Pinterest. 

 

 

I made 3 of these as a friend wanted one for her Mother as well.  I also put together these 2 6x6 inch canvas mixed media pictures as a present.  Hope you like them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have a good week - Judith 

 



Hi All.  Sorry my post is a bit late.

This week I have a couple of cards to show you.  I have made a couple of cards for a Virtual Retreat challenge at Stamp Nation -

 

 

This first one uses a Penny Black stamp and is coloured using my Inktense pencils.

 



 

 

 

This one uses the Stampin Up Four Feathers set and a sentiment from Clearly Besotted.

 

 

 



 

 

I have used an Inkadinkado cupcake stamp set and Swiss Dots embossing folder for the background.

 

 







 

 

As I spoke about last time, I have redone this card.  The one above is the original and the one below I redid with some better colouring skills than above. 

 

 

 



 

 

Well that's all for this week.  I have been working on Mother's Day cards, but will reveal on/after May 10th.

 

My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Nepal who are suffering from deadly earthquakes.  Until next post - stay safe.

 

Judith

 



 

Hi All.  I hope you had a good week.  I just have 1 very quick and easy Sympathy card to share with you this week. 

I have made Mother's Day cards this weekend, but haven't had a chance to get a photo yet. 

I also thought I would like to remake a couple of my earlier cards now that I have some better colouring skills, so look out for those - I will post the earlier photo to see how they compare.  I am hoping to have the first of these for you to see next weekend.  In the mean time, have a good week and see you again soon - Judith  

Hope you all had a very Happy Easter.  We went to the Classic Fighters air show in Blenheim on Saturday, then spent the night in Picton with friends.  We stopped at Ohau Stream north of Kaikoura to see the seal pups on the way home.  What a treat that was.  They are so cute and seem to love showing off.  Photo below so you can judge for yourself...

 

 

I have a couple of cards to show today.  The first one using the same Penny Black stamp as last weeks, but I have put it together using different base card and layers.  This shows just how different something can look just by choosing different colours. 

 

 



 

 

The next card was very quickly put together using an old Stampin Up Sale-a-bration set and a piece of embossed paper.  

 

 

That's all for this week.  Judith

Hi All.  I know it has been 2 weeks - unfortunately things just got in the way of me posting.  However, I have a couple of cards to show today -

 

 

On this one I have used a Penny Black stamp and Paper Smooches for the sentiment.  The colouring is done with Inktense pencils on watercolour paper.

 



 

 

This one uses a range of the Couture Creations dies to create this polaroid with ship wheel and anchor.  The image is coloured with Inktense pencils again.



 

 

This one is also a Penny Black stamp and coloured with Inktense pencils.

 



 

 

The last one is adapted slightly from a card I found on Pinterest using Stampin Up stamps and embossing folder to create a Valentines card.

 

Thanks for stopping by.  Until next time - happy stamping - Judith



Hi again - I am a day late with this.  Not quite sure what happened yesterday, but the weekend seemed over far too quickly. 

I have just a couple of Thinking of you cards to share this week.  The first one has layers and the second ones are single layer cards - very simple and easy to do ...

 

 

 

 

 

The flowers on all 3 have been coloured using ink or watercolour pencils. 

 

Thats all until next time.  Thanks for stopping by - Judith 

Hi All.  Well I have spent a horrible week getting over a bug of some kind, so I never posted last week.  But I am feeling much better now and have 2 cute cards to show today.  Both were for challenges at Stamp Nation.

The first uses a cute bird die from Penny Black that I bought some time ago ...

 

 

 

The second is a stamp from Penny Black that I have coloured using my Inktense pencils.  Love those little hedgehogs - so cute ...

 

 

That's all for today.  Have a good week - Judith

Hi all.  I am a bit late with this post today, but better late than never ...

I only have 1 card today.  This one has been put together using a Sweet Sunday sketch #248 and the embossing folder and stamp set are from Stampin Up.

 

 

 

The 2nd photo is a piece of mixed media collage that I put together yesterday morning at a class in the city.  I am really pleased with how it turned out.  I have done another one today, but haven't got a photo of that one yet.  Maybe next post. 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by, until next time - Judith

 

Good morning all. 

Today I have 4 cards all from this year.  They use a selection of Stampin Up stamps, embossing folders and punches and Montarga stamps.  The second one is a copy of one I found on Pinterest, but I was really pleased with how it looked when I finished.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's all for another week.  Thanks for stopping by  - Judith

 

 

We have been having some wonderful summer weather here over the last week made even better due to the short working week for Waitangi Day on Friday. 

This week I have another 4 cards to show.  The first one shows WWII fighter plane die from Joanna Sheen.

 

 

 

The next 3 are ones I created to put into a Stamp Nation challenge last year.  They all have a beach theme. 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great week - Judith

Hi All

Well it has been a long time since I posted something on this blog.  I gave up last year when my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer, then kidney cancer - totally unrelated.  He had 2 surgeries and fingers crossed everything is still ok.

This year I would like to try and post every week - possibly Sunday or Wednesdays.  I will start off with a couple of cards made last year and something from this year until I catch up.  So here goes ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well that's all for this week.  Thanks for looking and see you next Sunday.

 

 

Judith
