With Love…

 

Hi everyone,

 

Just a quick post to share with you a card I created using the colour challenge at Dynamic Duos and the sketch challenge at Clean & Simple #189.

 

The colour challenge at Dynamic Duos is their first challenge and the colours are Pool Party & Lucky Limeade and I have used Very Vanilla for my neutral card stock.

 

I have used the Framed Tulip Textured Embossing for the border on the Very Vanilla cardstock which is layered on Lucky Limeade base card.

 

Added a few more layers one in Lucky Limeade and one in Very Vanilla. I rounded the corners on one side of the Very Vanilla layer and stamped the flower stem image from Fabulous Florets stamp set (retired). The sentiment is from the Field Flowers set.

 

I added two butterflies in Pool Party, which were created using the Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die and they have been added to the card with dimensionals and dressed up with some ‘bling’.

 

Here is my card:

Easter Treat

Hi everyone,

 

Things have been rather busy leading up to Easter and I haven’t had a chance to do any crafting.

 

But after browsing on the internet last night, I had a thought to create a little Easter Box for my daughter to take to school today and share some Easter eggs with her friends.

 

I have not ventured into creating anything with my punches I have just used them as punches but my searches let me to You Tube and I found a video that was linked by Dee - click here to see the video and the link to Dee’s website. Dee’ used her punches to create a little bunny.

 

Such a simple and creative Bunny but he needed a box to sit on and I found a video with a tutorial link on You Tube from SplitCoastStampers – click here to see.  The tutorial/video is for a Pillow Box Bucket and I got to use my Pillow Box die to create something else too.

 

Some of the punches I did not have so I used other punches or things in my stash to create the box and Bunny. 

 

There are also Silver Brads on the side of the box for the handle and I use a strip of the new Attic Boutique DSP.

 

Now isn’t he cute!  But the eggs look good too don’t they, hmmmm all that chocolate :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Tagtastic (Hostess)

Bright Birthday

Hi everyone,

 

It has been a wonderful day, warm with no rain about 26 plus degrees and all the washing aired and dried.

 

The weather has now changed and the rain is bucketing down and the humidity is terrible!  Hopefully it will cool down during the night.

 

But I have had a chance to finish a bright birthday card.

 

I have used one of my old favourites for the base card – Pumpkin Pie with a touch of Chocolate Chip and Tempting Turquoise.

 

I used the Flower image from the Button Buddies stamp set and the sentiment is from the Happiest Birthdays Wishes Hostess Stamp Set.

 

The flowers in the vase were punched out using one of the punches from the Itty  Bitty Shapes Punch Pack.

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Button Buddies, Happiest Birthdays Wishes

Card: Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip, Tempting Turquoise, Very Vanilla
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Tempting Turquoise

Accessories: Stripes & Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folders, Decorative Label Punch, Cutter Kit
Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack,  1/8” (3.2 mm) Pumpkin Pie Taffeta Ribbon, Basic Rhinestones, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

I have used the Stripes and Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folders in the Big Shot.  Just love how you can add a little texture with the Big Shot and these wonderful folders.

 

I have also distressed the Chocolate Chip layer with the distressing tool in the Cutter Kit and of  course I have used the Basic Rhinestones for an added ‘bling’ – another of my favourite things!
