Wizardette’s Mojo

 

Well my youngest daughter has another birthday party to go to this week and it’s a Harry Potter party.  So I just had to use this wonderful Tiddly Inks image of Hermione again.  She is so gorgeous and so much fun to colour.

 

 

I saw this great sketch at Mojo Monday and decided to give it a try.  They are celebrating their 300th sketch.  What an amazing achievement!

Ingredients :

Stamps : Tiddly Inks Wizardette

Card : black, white, red, pool party, storytime dsp, subtles dsp stack

Ink : memento black, illuminate

other : copics, rhinestones, elegant lines ef, big shot, kindy glitz

 

There is even going to be a wizard (actually a magician :) at this party and everyone is dressing up.  My daughter is so excited to go.  She said this card was awesome and perfect and that the birthday girl will love it!  :)

This is a card I made for the new round of challenges at the Splitcoast Stampers Creative Crew.

This month the theme is Friendship and this card is for a colour challenge.

CCREW0811DF, CreativeCrew, SUO or SUM – DSP/Color Focus: Pocketful of Posies designer papers (122354), or the following colors: baja breeze, daffodil delight, early espresso, night of navy, pear pizzazz, poppy parade, rich razzleberry, so saffron, soft suede, whisper white. Choose any 3 of these colors and make a friendship project—remember, sisters can also be friends!

 

 

This card uses a set called Language of Friendship which will be available in the new catalogue which is released September 1. 

Isn’t it pretty!  It uses the 2-step bird punch and the boho blossoms punch, so no cutting necessary :)

 

Ingredients :

Stamps :  Language of friendship

Card : baja, espresso, vanilla

Ink : espresso, baja

Other :  big shot, elegant lines, boho blossoms punch, bird punch, pearls

 

August is retirement month at Stampin Up.  It’s kind of sad because some of my favourite sets are retiring, (Pun Fun, sob!)  but it’s exciting too because we’ll have lots of lovely new sets to play with very soon!

If you’d like to take a look at the retirement list click here.  These things will never be available again and there are some good savings to be had too :)  Please email me if you’d like to place an order.

At Just Add Ink this week we have a photo to inspire you.

If you live in Hobart like me, this looks absolutely idyllic. I think we’ve had rain, sleet, snow, gale force winds and temperatures under 10degrees every day for more than a week now!  It feels like it will never end!

So I wasn’t really in a “warm” mood when I created this but I was definitely inspired by the photo.  The sea, the sky and the leaves and flowers trailing over the railing were my inspiration.

I decided to make a Joy Fold card.  Chantelle made a great card and tutorial for the JAI blog hop and I used her instructions but made my front panel slightly smaller.  I have made a joy fold before but haven’t for a long time.  It was great how that blog hop encouraged me to try new folds and rediscover old ones.

I finally bought the Elegant Lines embossing folder last week and decided it would work perfectly with the water theme.  It is very pretty and I’m happy with my purchase!  The main panel is sponged onto glossy white cardstock and stamped with stazon.  On the white I have clear embossed the same swirly leaf pattern from Vintage vogue and I rock and rolled the flowers from that set with PIP and rose red.

Ingredients :

Stamps : Vintage vogue, punch bunch

Card : white glossy, black, white, baja

Ink : stazon, versamark, pip, rose red, NQN

Other :  white brads, big shot, elegant lines, glue dots, clear ep, circle punch, scallop trim border punch, sponges

 

Please check out what the rest of the design team came up with this week and I hope you’ll be inspired to make a “warm” card too.
