Blue and Yellow Aeroplane in Clouds

This is the card that I made for my 'little' brother this year. He's actually 31 but being 10 years younger than me he'll always be my 'little' brother.
 
I really liked this aeroplane stamp from the Kaisercraft Little Man stamp set, so decided to make a nice simple card with it.
 
 
I started by creating the front panel of the card. I stamped both the aeroplane and trail from the Little Man stamp set using Versafine Deep Lagoon archival pigment ink. I then die cut an aperture from the panel using a label die from the XCut Tags and Bookplates set of dies.
 
A couple of clouds were die cut from white card using the Memory Box Puffy Clouds dies and adhered to the card front using 3D foam to create dimension.
 
Lengths of yellow Baker's twine from the Dovecraft Riverbank Rivals twine pack was tied around the card front threaded through the aperture.
 
The sentiment, from the Amy R Be Happy set of stamps was then stamped onto a scrap of white card using the Deep Lagoon ink and matted behind the aperture using 3D foam.
 
The front panel was then matted over a panel of the blue and yellow striped paper from the DCWV Floral Prints paper stack.
 
 
 
The inside of the card was also decorated using the same patterned paper and cardstock as the front of the card.

A circle and big scalloped circle were die cut using Nestabilities dies and the sentiment, also from the Be Happy stamp set, was stamped onto the label cut out from the front panel using the Deep Lagoon ink.

Rust Green and Brown Fox

This is a nice simple masculine card made using a free set of stamps that came with the first issue of Get Stamping. (I've not seen whether there was an Issue 2 or not).


The fox image was stamped onto white card using Memento Potter's Clay die ink and die cut using a Nestabilities circle die. This was then matted onto a rust-coloured cardstock diecut with a Labels 3 Nestabilities die.

A strip of the striped paper from the First Edition New Leaf paper pad was also matted onto the rust cardstock and added across the centre of the card, with the image panel matted over the top to the left hand side.

 
The sentiment, from the Amy R Be Happy sentiments stamp set, was stamped using the Potter's Clay ink and die cut using a Classic Oval Nestabilities die. The oval was shaded using the Potter's Clay ink with the die still in place over the die cut, creating a white frame. This was then matted onto a Labels 25 die cut and added in the bottom right corner.

 
To finish the front of the card, copper coloured Card Candi by Craftwork Cards were added in the top right and bottom left corners of the card.
 
The inside of the card was also decorated, using almost an identical layout as the front.
 
The sentiment, from the Bo Bunny Sentiments stamp set, was used to add the greeting to the inside of the card.

Beige White and Cork Flower and Flourish

This is a card that I made last year that was inspired by a card I saw over on Amy Rysavy's blog.
 
 
For my card, I started by creating the background. For that, I took a piece of beige card and stamped it with the French Script stamp from the Bo Bunny It Is Written stamp set using Memento Toffee Crunch dye ink for a tone-on-tone effect. I then punched the top left corner using the WRMK 1/2" Corner Chomper.
 
I then created a panel from white hessian effect card and added pricking detail using the Stampin' Up piercing template and a pricking tool. The sentiment, from the Kaisercraft Life Sentiments stamp set was stamped onto this panel using Versafine Onyx Black archival pigment ink.
 
 
Next I created the flower detail. To do this, I die cut some Fablon self-adhesive cork sheet using the Sizzix Sizzlits Flower, Centre and Leaf die. This was overstamped using the script stamp and the Onyx Black ink. The Flower Centre, from the same die, was cut from the white hessian card and distressed with the Toffee Crunch ink, and the scalloped circle from the Sizzix Sizzlits Flower and Flourish die using black cardstock. Black and white Baker's Twine was then threaded through the centre holes.
 
 
To complete the corner detail, two flourishes were also die cut from the black card using the Sizzix Sizzlits Vine #2 die.

The card was then assembled as shown in the main picture., mounting the beige card onto black card and positioning the flourishes and flower in the bottom right hand corner.

To finish the card, flat-back pearls from the Kort & Godt Autumn Shades selection were randomly added.

Here are the challenges that I shall be entering this card into:
