You got me a.... MOOSE?

Hi everyone!

Tory here again with this cute birthday card featuring.... a moose. Seriously! This is what I love about Eureka, they have so many cute critters to work with! I used the Moose in a Box stamp for this card, and paired it with some patterned paper and cardstock, and then inked it all up.



If you have someone who loves a joke, or better yet, loves a joke AND is Canadian, well then this is the perfect stamp for them! I will send this card to my aunt who moved to the UK, and I am sure I will hear her laughing all the way across the pond!!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope I have inspired you to create,

Beautiful Bouquet..


Hello ...

Katie here today with my latest creation for Eureka Stamps.

I thought this digi stamp was so pretty when I saw it, and could picture it in these neutral colours.



Recipe & Method:

1.  Cut and score an A5 card from Black card stock.

2. Layer the brown spotty paper and add a strip of stripped paper down the centre of the card, add black organza ribbon down the centre of the stripy paper.

3. Colour and cut the image and layer onto Black card stock.

4.  Attach the image and add the congratulations sentiment.

5. Embellish with Gold punched hearts.

The image can be found here.

This image would be great for so many occasions.

I coloured the image with Promarkers: Caramel, Sandstone, Tan, Umber.

If you would like to see more of my work you can visit my blog here.

Skating Santa

Hello everybody!  Can you believe it's the last day of July?  Time flies by so fast, so I've actually made a few Christmas cards already.  When I was choosing which stamp I wanted to use today, I just fell in love with this whimsical, Santa on Skates.  I already had in mind which patterned papers I wanted to use and visualized Santa colored pink and green.  Let me show you my finished card and then I'll give you some more details.


I used my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers to color in Santa's face, suit and leggings.  I covered his beard, hair and all of the fur with white glitter glue and sprinkled it with ultra fine glitter, then added gold glitter glue to his belt buckle.  I cut out the image and chalked the edges with pink, then matted it with some green patterned paper and distressed the edges.   The big bow is pinkish-white and I thought it was the perfect finishing touch.  Here is a close-up of my card:


Here's one more:


The two sentiments can be found here and here.  I also used chalk on them ~ one with pink and the other with green and attached them on angles with pop dots.  I thought this went along with the whimsical look of Santa on Skates.  I often mix it up too and add some really pretty thing (like this glittery bow) to a whimsical card.  It's just something that I like to do.

How about you?  Have you made any Christmas cards yet?  I really had fun with this one.  Thanks for stopping by!

Gemma Pocock's card using both Eureka and QKR digis stamps

I decided to use a digi stamp from both companies to show how easy they blend together, I used the leaf background http://www.eurekastamps.com/proddetail.php?prod=digi26901, coloured them all in using autumn colours with my pro markers. I added the Spider http://www.qkrstampede.com/proddetail.php?prod=digi12301, then searched on the internet for a little saying that would fit it well, and came across this one. I really like both images together and wanted to show you how easy it is to make one project using both sites.


I really enjoyed this card, I have even sent it into a magazine to show off the digi stamps. I have never sent a card to a magazine before so fingers crossed.

Just A Note on the Go

Happy Saturday!
Today I am bringing you
"Just a note...",
A stationary set for those on the go.

 Below is a close up of one of the small note cards, they are retired SU, time to get these
babies used up.  I made some return address labels and placed them on the backs of the envelopes. 
They are a perfect size for the set and I tucked them into a small brown sack.

Below you can see how I used red line tape and wax paper to make my own bag.
(I have looked all over and have not found a sack I like for packaging up these list pads.)
