Platypus Creek Cute Kids Thanksgiving Release

Hi Everyone!

Another quick post as I am in the midst of moving my craft room, so it means a big clean up and getting rid of lots of unwanted stash so that I can fit all my craft gear and combine it back into the office.

Today sees the release of the Pilgrim Ella and Noah over at Platypus Creek Digitals.  They are perfect for your Autumn/Thanksgiving Card Making.

We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in Australia but luckily I have an All Occassions Paper Pack, I brought some years back which had some lovely papers just perfect for making this Easel Card.

Pilgrim Noah has been colored with my Tria Markers and I have used a couple of Dew Drops from the Robin's Nest. 

For more wonderful Autumn/Thanksgiving and Pilgrim Inspiration be sure to pop over to the PCD Blog and follow the links to the store if you wish to purchase either of the Cute Kids.

Thanks for looking and I'll be back a bit later too with another Autumn Themed Post!

Other Challenges I am entering this card into :-

Eureka Stamps - #5 Fall Fun

Lexi's Creations - #73 Autumn Colors

Lollypop Crafts - #89 Fall Frolic

Tammy's Scrapping Corner - #27 Fall Inspiration

Thanks for looking!

Platypus Creek Digitals - Gingerbread Set Release

Good Morning Everyone!  Its another beautiful spring day here this morning, a great day to get some washing done which I will be doing shortly,  but first just a quick post announcing a new release over at Platypus Creek Digitals!

Today's release is a terrifically sweet set of Gingerbread inspired Digi's.

I have simply used the gingerbread man digi repeated across the front of the card with Christmas Colored Rhinestones between each one and the sweet surprises sentiment in the top right hand corner!

To see more great cards using this delightful gingerbread man and the other stamps in this set be sure to head over to the Platypus Creek Digital's Blog.

Yesterday on our return from visiting the cemetery for Father's Day, I found Felix not able to decide whether he preferred to be sleeping in his bed or on the floor, so both was the best option as far as he was concerned.   Luckily for him the side walls of his bed easily flattened under his body weight.  He does seem to always be hanging out of or over things.

He wasn't impressed with me taking his photos (as the flash kept going off because of the light taking this photo under our bed) and I was disturbing his beauty sleep so he soon re-positioned himself correctly in his bed which was my signal to leave him alone.....lol.  

I thought I'd share a picture of him in this position as I couldn't help but smile as he opened his eyes and looked up at me and I hope it brings a smile to your face today also.  Something else that may just bring a smile to my face today is finding some time to create.  I hope you can too!

Platypus Creek Digitals Cute Kids Halloween Release

Good Morning everyone!  I hope you are all doing well and thank you to all of you who have been leaving such wonderful comments.  They really do make my creating feel like its worth it and brighten my day!

Over the next few weeks I will be bringing you lots of cards sharing all the new releases over at Platypus Creek and we kick off today with Day 1 of the Cute Kids Halloween Release.

We don't really celebrate Halloween here in Australia, although it is becoming more popular, so its not something I rush out and buy craft product for, but I did however manage to find some suitable papers in my stash to create this card using Zombie Oliver.

The Trick or Treat Wording I cut from one of the papers and I used some Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Up Cardstock.  Quite fitting don't you think given there's lots of pumpkins on the other paper I have used on my card.   

I have colored in Oliver with my Tria Markers giving his skin a greenish tinge and paper pieced his jacket with some grey cardstock.  The pumpkin is something I had left over from a previous project I was creating. 

Even trying to make him look Spooky for Halloween you can tell Oliver is a Cute Kid!

Oliver's friend Pumpkin Girl Ella is also being released today so be sure to head over to the Platypus Creek Digitals Blog to meet her and see all the creations for today's release by the DT.  If you pop back tomorrow I will introduce you to Vampire Noah who just loves Halloween!.

Platypus Creek New Summer Digis & Cutting File Release Day 1

Good Morning Everyone and hello and welcome to my new followers. Although its mid winter here in Australia, I have been thinking of Summer not only because I hate the cold, but because I have been playing with the new Digital Images from Platypus Creek for their Summer Release.

Today sees the release of the Beach Icon's Digis and Cutting Files.

Digi:  Beach Icons from Platypus Creek, Sentiment:  Unity KOTM Stamps

For my card I have simply colored in the images with my Tria Markers, punched them out with my square punch, matted on a larger yellow square cut with my spellbinders nesting square die, mounted with a pop dot and added them to my card.  The sentiment is from one of my Unity KOTM Stamp Sets. And yes  I am definitely counting the days till summer if not spring is here!

Platypus Creek Digitals New Release - Butterflies

Today Platypus Creek Digitals are releasing two new Butterfly Digital Images and a Cutting File.

Cairns Birdwing Butterfly and Ulysses Butterfly Digis

Solid Butterflies Cutting File

I have a couple of projects to share with you today using these files.

For my first one I have created a Photo Pouch Card, so that if you wanted to send a Hello and enclose some photos of the family etc they can be held nice and secure in this card.

The sentiment is on a circular flap which is held down by the beautiful Birdwing Butterfly.

Upon opening the flap the Ulysses Butterfly is revealed.

And at the top of the card we have created a pocket so that you can include a note or photos etc and know they want fall out the side of the card.

For my second card I have used the Solid Butterfly Shape Cutting File of the Birdwing Butterfly with out antennae.  

I have hand cut this shape from the centre of my card front using the cutting file pattern and layered my text paper behind it.  I have defined the shape by a quick faux stitch outline with my trusty black Zig Pen.  I have also done some messy faux stitching around the edges.  The colorful dots on my card front were created by sponging different colored ink over some Punchinella.  

For both of my projects the background papers have been from the Christy Tomlinson She Art Paper Pack.

I love butterflies, don't you?  If so be sure to pop over to the Platypus Creek Digitals Blog and see all the wonderful creations for today's release by the rest of the DT.
