You make me smile

It's with sadness today that I write this post.  I have been on Elaine's design team for Quixotic Paperie for 2 and a half years but I have now decided to step down from this fab team.  :(  A big thank you to Elaine for having me on board - not only have I loved playing with the gorgeous stash, it's been a privilege to have made friends with such a kind, sweet person too!  I will miss the team too - big waves to Sandie and Delphine!

So, for my last Quixotic Inspiration project I have made this card...

I love this wistful, sweet monster!  This is SCACD Oddly Sweet Moments and you can either buy him here or in a the set here.  I stamped him on my favourite Make It Colour blending cardstock and then coloured him in with my Copics and used my MFT Die-Namics - Fishtail Flags STAX to layer the papers.

Okay, well I am off for now for the very last time here at Quixotic Inspirations!  Thanks for visiting and take care!

 

Monster love!

Hello everyone!  Mary J here to show you a card I made with some of my current favourite goodies in the Quixotic Paperie store.  My husband went to visit his parents recently and I really missed him so I made him this card for his return...

Sweet, but not too sweet for my unromantic husband!  I used one of the new monsters by SCACD called Susana Loves Stamps Oddly Sweet Loves Me?  Adorable, don't cha think?!   And I love the matching sentiment too.  I also used the new My Favorite Things Die-Namics heart border die.  Elaine doesn't have any in stock at the moment but you can ask her to order it in for you here.

Well I hope you like my monster love and I'll see you soon with another Quixotic Inspiration project!

A better place with you!

Hello everyone!  Mary J here with my regular spot to show you a card I made with some of my current favourite goodies in the Quixotic Paperie store!  I've made this card for a very good friend of mine who is always there for me...

This lovely lady is Gorjuss - Poppy Wood who I stamped onto Make It Colour Blending Card and coloured in with my Copics.  I used papers from the My Mind's Eye Indie Chic Ginger paper pad and the sentiment is from the Stamping Bella - Uptown Girls - Felicity & Blair.  I also used lots of My Favorite Things Die-Namics - of course!

Distress Stain picture frame!

Hello Kim here, wanted to stop by with a little gift idea I have made

I have stained the wood with Tim Holtz Distress Stain - Broken China, love the result!

Then I have stamped Stempelglede - Grunge Collection on the frame and enhanced with perfect pearl powder.

The Make It Crafty - Butterfly Leaves - Lasercut Chipboard have been coloured with Tim Holtz Distress Stain - Wild Honey and Tim Holtz Distress Stain - Forest Moss.

Then embellished with Viva Decor: Glitter Liner - Holo Iridescent, I also rubbed a little of the glitter onto the frame too! 

Okay so... this will be my last post for a while as I'm having a blogging break...

Thank you so much for stopping by hope you have a fabulously creative day!

Good Morning Kim here today,

I am so pleased with how this turned out it must have been one of the quickest cards to make and loving all the colours from these Crate papers. I totally adore Horton hears a who film...  which is the reason for buying this fantastic Artistic Outpost - Think & Wonder stamp set. Featuring quotes from Dr. Seuss... A person's a person, no matter how small. Just love it!!! The Pink Paislee - Artisan Elements - Swirls I have coloured using Tim Holtz Distress Stain - Weathered Wood, I blasted it with my heat gun and it dried on very nicely!

The faux Stitching was created using the WRMK sew easy and a black fine liner for the stitches. Now I'm admiring the new sew easy heads available.... yum and check out the
