Some Odd Girl - Odd Idol!

By some miracle I have made it through Round Two and into Round Three...

Here is the Friendship themed card that I created...

I am so pleased to have made it through....and now I need an awesome creation to get through the next stage....better get my thinking cap on...

Prima Mixed Media Doll Stamp...

Tracy @ Dies to Die For recently took delivery of the Prima Mixed Media Doll Stamps....and I was lucky enough to find one in the my DT pack....You can find here HERE. I stamped her onto Craftwork Cards Digital Cardstock with a Tuxedo Black Memento Ink pad and coloured her skin and hair with Copics using the following colours...
Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20
Hair - 100/C3
I then stamped her again onto patterned paper from the Teresa Collins Now & Then 6x6 paper pad. I used a luggage tag from any stationery shop and added the papers from the pad, together with a doily and some gorgeous lace ribbon and seam binding and a flower. The words have been cut from one of the sheets of paper in the pad.

I have found a fab Pinterest board showing so many fab examples with this stamp...will definitely be making some more.

Mo Manning - Cupcake Thief!

So.....Who Stole The Sunshine!!!!

Today I am showing a card I made with the Mo Manning (for Stamping Bella) called Cupcake Thief.

I have stamped her onto Craftwork Cards Digital Cardstock using Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black and coloured with Copics. The papers are all from the new My Minds Eye 6x6 pad called Find Your Wings & Fly - Skys the Limit....it doesn't appear on the website at the moment...so drop Tracy an email...I expect it is an oversight. I layered them with some Bazzill Kraft cardstock. I added a doily, some lace and a Craftwork Card sentiment.

Make sure you pop on by tomorrow as I have plenty more to show you....

It's Gorjuss O'Clock!

I know I disappeared again without showing you some of the cards I made while I was missing last time...in my defence I had two migraines in the past week...

So here is another of the Gorjuss Girl cards I made, this one using a kling mounted Gorjuss Girls (she is called The White Rabbit) which I have stamped onto Craftwork Cards Digital Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and coloured with Copics. The papers are all Teresa Collins Now & Then layered with some black Bazzill Cardstock. I added a little Bakers Twine a clock face charm and a Craftwork Cards sentiment.

It's been a while since I coloured one of these girls, but I think I will have to pull another out and get colouring....they are so nice to colour...and people seem to love to receive cards with them on....I know I do!

Will come back very soon with another creation to show you...maybe even a Smash* Book page.

Loving all things Teresa Collins...

I just love all the Teresa Collins lines out at the moment...I bought four of the new paper pads and am still loving the Everyday Moments pad from last year...

So here are a couple of cards I made for Dies to Die For that both feature Teresa Collins....

So the card above I made last week for the DTDF Blog and it features a Gorjuss Girl called Poppy Wood. I stamped her onto Craftwork Cards Digital Cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and coloured her with Copics using the following colours...
Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20
Hair - W5/W7/W9
Clothing - R27/R29/W5/W7
I created the background spooky looking woods using a Tim Holtz Black Soot Distress Ink Pad.
The papers were all from the Teresa Collins Stationery Noted paper pad layered with Bazzill cardstock in one of the reds (cannot remember which one). I added some Washi tape, a bow, bling and a Craftwork Cards sentiment to finish off.

The next card was made using a pad from 2012 called Everyday Moments and until the newer releases...this was my favourite of her lines.

So I just used papers from the Everyday Moments pad and I was also lucky enough to receive three sheets of awesome Die-cuts from the range from my amazing friend Damaris in the USA. All I then added was some lace, Bakers Twine, a paperclip and Craftwork Cards sentiment.

I will be back tomorrow with a couple of other projects that I have worked on over the last few weeks/months...

Heeeellllooooo.......Is there anybody out there!!!

So I wonder how many of you have wondered "Where has Caz gone?".....

Well I actually haven't been anywhere, just was in a Crafty/Blogging Funk....I have been making a few cards but just could not find the motivation. I am not sure if my messy craft room is part of the problem, so I have some spring cleaning plans for it.

On a nice note....I actually WON a Do Crafts Creativity Club Draw....lots of yummy stuff from the new travel range....so pleased as I actually love it.

Will come back later to show a mix of the cards I have made since I last blogged....I just have to pop out to have a hair cut!....I love having my hait cut...
