Everyday Enchantment

Hi everyone,

 

I really love the Everyday Enchantment DSP which is available as part of Sale-a-bration.

 

So I have created a card with a sample of the DSP, images from the Elementary Elegance Stamp Set and a sample of the Everyday Enchantment Lucky Limeade Organdy Ribbon.

 

I am sure you now get the link with title of this posting :)

 

I would describe my card as having a spring feel, being soft flowing and it has been touched with my vintage attempt.  I am happy with it, have a look below:

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Elementary Elegance Stamp Set

Card: Peach Parfait, Pool Party, Lucky Limeade, Very Vanilla
Ink: Lucky Limeade, Peach Parfait

Accessories:  1/8” (3.2 mm) Lucky Limeade Organdy Ribbon, Beautiful Winds Embosslits Dies, Everyday Enchantment DSP, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

I have used a dauber and sponged some of the Peach Parfait ink on to the Peach Parfait cardstock after I sanded it back in a few different places.  I have also used the dauber with the Peach Parfait ink on the Very Vanilla card stock.

 

I am still hooked on the Beautiful Wings Embosslits Dies.  The larger butterfly is in Lucky Limeade card stock (even though the photo has it looking a little darker) and the small butterfly is in Very Vanilla cardstock.

 

Oh and don’t forget the added ‘bling’ in the corner and on the butterfly!  I added a little of the Lucky Limeade Organdy Ribbon to a dimensional at the back of the larger butterfly because I wanted it to seem like he was fluttering here and there :)

Field of Flowers

Hi everyone,

 

I have been away for a few days celebrating my birthday and I have had a great time which included my my sister flying up for Melbourne to spend the weekend.

 

I caught up with my friends whom I stamp with on Friday night and had birthday cake and a cup of Tea.  Then last night I had a long talk to my best friend that lives in London.

 

This is the first chance I have had to do some crafting and I created a card with the Field Flowers stamp set.  It is a lovely 2 step stamp set and I have also used some of the Lucky Limeade Organdy Ribbon that is  in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue.

 

I have taken my colour inspiration from the Play Date Cafe challenge and the sketch inspiration from Moving Along with the Times.  The colours used were Blushing Bride, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake and Lucky Limeade.

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Field Flowers

Card: Blushing Bride, Crumb Cake, Lucky Limeade, Very Vanilla
Ink: Lucky Limeade, Crumb Cake, Blushing Bride, Regal Rose

Accessories:  1/8” (3.2 mm) Lucky Limeade Organdy Ribbon, Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folders,  Curly Label Punch, 1-3/4” (4.4 cm) Circle Punch, Basic Rhinestones,  Dazzling Diamonds, SNAIL Adhesive

 

Unfortunately you cannot see from the photo the Dazzling Diamonds that I added to the centre of the larger flower and on the top of the smaller blossom.  There is always room for more bling of course  :)

 

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Piggy Best

Hi everyone,

 

I have created a card today which suits a couple of challenges.

 

The sketch from Stampin Queen’s Sketches and an animal theme from There She Goes you had to use the sketch, unfortunately I missed adding my card but regardless I had fun.

 

I also decided to try the challenge from Simon Says which was to use 3 different papers. 

 

You know this is not as easy as it sounds, well for me it was a challenge.  Layering cardstock I find easier then layering 3 different papers. 

 

In the end I decided to use the Cheerful Treat DSP pack and the piggy image from the Button Buddies stamp set.

 

I took colour inspiration from the DSP pack which is  Concord Crush, Melon Mambo, Pink Pirouette, Bashful Blue, Lucky Limeade and Whisper White.

 

I stamped the little piggy in Melon Mambo and then used the 1-1/4” (3.2 cm) Circle punch for his body, which is one of the layers of DSP. I then layered him on the stamped image.

 

I stamped the image again in Melon Mambo and then punched his nose out with the small circle punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack. 

 

His little body and nose have been added to the card with Dimensionals to give him a little bit of depth.

 

 

 

 

Can’t you see that he is smiling at you with his lovely bright eyes – yes I used my favourite accessories, Rhinestones for his eyes!

 

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Perfect Words (Hostess), Button Buddies

Card: Concord Crush, Bashful Blue, Lucky Limeade, Whisper White
Ink: Melon Mambo, Concord Crush

Accessories:  1-1/4” (3.2 cm) Circle Punch, Cheerful Treat DSP, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

 

 

 

I thought he was the BEST!  so the sentiment suited fine :)

 

I will enter this card at the challenges found at :

 

Simon Says Stamp Challenges – 3 different papers

Addicted to Stamps Challenges -  Birthday card with dots

The Corrosive Challenge - #143 Another Dimension

Paper Sundaes Challenges - #190 Circles

I have used the I {Hearts} Hearts Stamp Set for my Valentines Day card with Real Red, Pretty in Pink and Very Vanilla cardstock.

 

The Real Red marker has been used to get the darker shading on the larger hearts.

Stamp set: Marry Me, I {Hearts} Hearts

Card: Pretty in Pink, Real Red, Very Vanilla

The quote is from the Marry Me stamp set in the Summer Mini and reads

 

….. Love is, above all, the gift of oneself. – Jean Anouilh…..

 

If you liked the retired stamp set For the Bride, you will like the Marry Me stamp set, especially if you need to create some wedding invitations or a wedding cards.  You could use this set in so many ways.

 

Well I am off to prepare things for tomorrow as my little girl is going back to school.
