Gone Fishing Boys/Mans card

Oh I do like this card - it makes a change from always dong flowers and just because its for a boy or man doesn't mean its can't have lots of details :O)

I used Ponderosa Pine cardstock at the bottom and bamboo at the top - love those boot prints.

I used the Timberline paper but you could use any neutral paper pattern or even use the new Woodgrain Embossing folders we now have - they are awesome :O)

I stamped the chicken wire design from the Distressed Background stamp set in Goldrush ink on the Goldrush cardstock and stamped the Gone Fishing in chocolate ink. I colored the fish using the watercolor pencils - Dutch Blue and Olive.

The final touches were the sentiment stamped in Ponderosa Pine ink and popped up on 3D foam tape, the Triangle stud and a small piece of Bronze shimmer trim.

And last but not least when the card was complete - I added a layer of Liquid Glass to the fish to make it look wet and the help the colors of the pencils blend with the chocolate ink. It gave it a cool look.

Hope it inspires you to make one for the man in your life :O)

Timberline Workshop on the go Scrapbook layout - 2 versions :O)

Hello Peeps :O)  did you miss me LOL :O)

 I will try to bombard this blog with some posts and get you back in the loop - its just crazy here - No different from any other time I hear you say haha :O)

SO here is my layout created with the Timberline WOTG - now - to this first version I added Bronze Shimmer trim and the matching Stickease - and its adorable :O)

And this is what I planned on teaching BUT - the Stickease are sold out :O(

So I have had to redesign it by removing all of the Stickease elements and replacing them with stamped or cricut cut items. I have to say that I am pretty happy with the result :O)

I cut the trees using the CTMH Cricut Artbooking Cartridge and tried to keep the layout pretty much the same.  Hope you like it :O)

Remember that Timberline and all of the other papers in this current Idea Book will retire at the end of July so if you need any of them - the time to order is NOW. 

Don't delay - they are selling out fast :O(

'Hooray' - Timberline Owl card

Dawn Montagano again was the designer of this card which I altered a little to suit my style.

I added 3 rows of Chocolate Woodgrain Washi Tape over the Chevron Embossed background and the gorgeous Woodgrain paper from the Timberline paper.

The scolloped circle is from the CTMH Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge - I then pieced tiny holes around the edge.

Here we just used the word Hooray - on a thin piece of cardstock.

Honey Triangle Washi Tape and Silver Metallic Washi tape add a fun accent to the 

bottom right hand side of the card - along with a flower image embellishment from the Lollydoodle Assortment.

Hope you like it - Love Sara xxx

You've Got A Friend - Timberline Card - Cricut Artiste

Oh I just love this card - how much fun is this for a little boy's birthday.
I cut the Rocket Ship using the CTMH Cricut Artist cartridge and then covered it with the Metallic Washi Tape.
I used the new Timberline Paper pack and chose the star gazing paper - just perfect with these words.
Silver Shimmer Trim added sparkle to the top.
I can't tell you how much I love this one - hope you do too :O)
