I succumbed and bought this fabulous Memory Box die called Chloe Stem, there's something about this style of organic image that I really love!
The background is made from a spot of emboss resist using some fabulous Paisley stamps which I believe I picked up at the NEC in a clearance box....Plus a variety of other small stamps which I used to overstamp in the darker shades of yellow Distress Ink. The sentiment is from Hero Arts.
This one is a bit of fun... a spinner card of a tumbling duck!
I did a tutorial of how to make a spinner card some time ago and you can see it here.
My grandchildren have been with us for a couple of days and my three year old granddaughter wanted to make some cards ... here she is busy at my desk... she made and COLOURED the card with the turtle... she stamped the sentiment herself and stuck the image on the card.
I coloured the turtle on the desk... hers is almost as good... I shall have to watch out!
She can write her name by herself and is learning the correct route around all the letters!
Well done Daisy!
DO have a great week everyone!
Gorgeous cards Chrissie I love the frame one in particular xx Jan
ReplyDeletebeautiful cards and she looks very intense, just like any good crafter!EE
ReplyDeleteGorgeous zingy yellow cards hun, they are all fabulous - the little duck is a High Hopes stamp I believe. Hugs Sxx
ReplyDeleteHi Chrissie, great inspiration, elegant, sophiscated and fun. I love them all. Isn't it just the best thing when our grands want to play with our crafts...well, most of the time anyway :)
ReplyDeleteThe first thing that came to my mind when I saw yellow was, "We all live in a yellow submarine". Alas, I don't have a sub. I shall have to see what else will fit. Back soon!
What a gorgeous cards.
ReplyDeleteHugs Riet.xx

Fabulous cards - all four of them - like you say Daisy will be one to watch out for if she follows in grandma's footsteps
ReplyDeleteAll totally fab cards, as usual! LOVE that MB die! xxx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards as always Chrissie, although I love that duck card, super cute
ReplyDeleteThe first card is just gorgeous Chrissie - I haven't bought the choloe stem yet but I don't think I shall be able to resist much longer. As usual your inking is unsurpassed.
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of your granddaughter - definately a junior limette if ever I saw one ;-)

ReplyDeleteOh Chrissie, your work is so beautiful. I love all three cards and I do love the Memory Box die flowers, most of them appear quite lovely!
ReplyDeleteHola Chrissie, thank you for your comment.
ReplyDeleteFantastic work Chrissie, you're a great professional cardmaker but i think you have competence with this little girl :D.
Thank you for your tutorial, fantastic.
a hug from the sunny island...to much sunny for me.
Hi sweet Chrissie! I love all of these yellow creations...it is my mom's favorite color and you have inspired me to get started on a birthday card for her. Love these!
ReplyDeleteThese are all gorgeous Chrissie! And how talented is your Granddaughter??
ReplyDeleteLizy xx
These are all fab the duck is really cute and I love the square one and think that die is going on my wish list! x
ReplyDeleteOh, Chrissie, isn't it just heavenly to craft with the grandchildren? Just the best. Your little Daisy is something else! I love your cards - both - one so elegant and the other such fun! You've got all the bases covered. I missed you last week and I'm looking forward to this new sunny challenge!
ReplyDeletebeautiful cards, chrissie! i especially like the emboss/resist card.. the colors are just gorgeous! looks like your granddaughter is taking after you!!
ReplyDeleteOh Chrissie, this is so much fun with the spinnercard!
ReplyDeleteI had this little duckie, too ..., but no idea, what to do with it -- now I hat one ;-)
But the first one is my favourite one, so beautiful!
Thanks so much, for the inspiration every week
Hugs
Annchen
P.S: and so sorry, for my bad english :-(
Really fab cards from you this week Chrissie & I just can't pick a fave, but I do lean towards the frame one. Daisy looks as if she's enjoying herself. bless.
ReplyDeleteSally x
Fab bunch of cards , love thee duck one and lovely that your granddaugther is getting into crafting .
ReplyDeleteNicky
I do love visiting here Chrissie, your cards are such an inspiration. I love a bit of emboss/resist myself but I think your first card is my favourite this week. Those die cut seed heads look so effective on that paisley background. I bet your granddaughter loves coming to visit you too - what a lovely outlet for her creativity!
ReplyDeleteI have avoided that Memory Box die but the way you have used it with the paisley is just wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteGreat choice of colour and I love your cheerful cards especially the duck!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards all three!
ReplyDeleteAnna-Karin
All 3 cards are lovely, Chrissie. Daisy is one talented little girl :)
ReplyDeleteThat memory box die is lovely and your cards are as brilliant as ever., that tumbling duck is great.
ReplyDeleteI think spinner cards are so cute, but have never taken the time to give it a try. I especially love the cute duck!! Love both the other cards...and I've given thought to purchasing that MB die, but then I think...I have a Cameo, I should be able to cut out anything I want! Your sponged inking always looks fabulous. BTW, I think you've hit on the idea all of us "grandmothers" eventually realize...we each have the smartest, cutest and advanced grandchildren on the planet! LOL! I know I sometimes tell my children that their children seem to be a lot more advanced for their ages than my children were at that age! And I do think that of children in general....must be the times we live in with all the electronic stuff. My 7 year old grandson knows almost as much as I do about computers! It's amazing! Your little Daisy is quite good at coloring!
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards Chrissie. Love the spinning duck! xx
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous Chrissie, such beautiful tones of yellow and love the way you used the Chloe die :0)
ReplyDeleteGood to see your training the younger generations in the craft world :0)

How lovely that your granddaughter enjoys crafting too! We'd better watch out at LiM! Your cards are sensational... I absolutely love the first with the emboss/resist and stunning dies.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have that competition from Daisy. It is so good to see the next generation coming along and having fun. Your three cards are so varied, yet they all fit the brief so well. Lovely cards. Thank you for your visit today and your kind comments on my unicorn card. Have a good week. xx Maggie
