Rub-a-dub-a-dubby!

Still playing with these awesome new Baby Teens from Simply B Stamps, this time with the super cute Rubber Ducky Jude.

I knew those Prima taps would come in handy some time and they were perfect for this card which I’ve made following the current sketch over at Digi Sketch.  I’ve even got the optional theme covered of ‘for men’ although this one is a little man.

I was going for a real water feel with the horizontal elements, I think the gesso and Smooch worked well for that, the Fran-tage, well, it adds a bit of sparkle to the card so I like it.  Being wet embossing I’m entering this in the current challenge at Creative Knockouts.

I seem to always need a reminder to use my scraps, it’s what I do whenever someone has a use your scraps theme going, which is exactly what Crafting When We Can has.  All the papers came out of my scrap drawer, even the card base was left over from a card I made last week.  Not sure if the embellies count, I hadn’t opened the packet before but they have been in my stash for a while so not bought new for this card.  The paints and powders were all from my stash too, almost at the bottom of the pot of the gesso and am working my way through my Fran-tage too.

There’s a whole lot more super cuties in this new Baby Teen Scene collection and the SBS DT have done amazing things with them which you can see over at the SBS blog.  This is my third card with them, you can find the first one here and the second one at this post, and if you pop back in five you’ll find another handsome young lad to admire.

Of the sweet years…

My favourite stamp company, Simply B Stamps, is turning four this month and us DT gals are celebrating with a blog hop featuring Betty’s awesome birthday collection of Betty Boos.  If you’ve come here from the lovely Irene’s blog you’re on the right track, if not, head on over to the SBS blog to start from the beginning as you aren’t going to want to miss any of the beautiful cards the talented DT have made.

My card features the gorgeous Birthday Goddess, loving the floaty toga she is wearing and her glorious hair!  I usually agonise over colours when I first start on an image and go looking for paper to make my card but not with this one.  Why?  Because I just used Betty’s favourite colours of course.

To make up my card I followed the current sketch at Digi Sketch, I’ve also got their optional twist of a stamp covered.  I did add in the bottom element to get my sentiment in, which comes with the image.  Birthdays are the theme over at Jo’s Scrap Shack so I am also entering my card there.

You all know how much I love my layers, a good thing too for this card where I wanted to cover off all of Betty’s favourite colours.  With all the layers I am linking this in Suzy Bee’s Bloomin’ Challenge.

Now head on over to the delightful Rebecca’s blog and check out the stunning creations she’s made with these fantastic Birthday Betty Boo images.  And if you’re a bit lost, I’ve got the full blog hop list at the bottom of my post.

In the lilt of Irish laughter

My final card today features another cute image from Simply B Stamps’ new Teen Scene Holiday collection, Patriotic Jude.

Now Jude is supposed to be celebrating 4th of July but unsurprisingly it isn’t a holiday we have in Australia so I’ve gone with a different theme altogether on my card, St Patrick’s Day.  All I did was add some strategically placed gems over the stars on Jude’s hat and in the sparklers.  I was going to go for shamrock cut outs but no way was I trying to cut them the size I needed, I’m not sure even my Cameo would have coped.

The layout of my card follows the current sketch at Digi Sketch and I also have their green twist covered.  I did swap out the circle elements for some Celtic knots to better suit my theme.  As St Paddy’s Day, or using green, are the themes over at Simply Create Too so I am also entering this card there, I have both covered on mine.
