Again I have used the Pretty in Pink cardstock and Designer Series Paper. This is made using the Oval Framelits scored in the centre to create the base. This will fit a baby kitkat or twix.

Swallowtail Card

Hello,

I have another card to share with you. When i first saw this stamp set I fell in love with it. It is a big stamp set the size of an A6 card and oh so pretty and versatile. Here I have used to with the spotlighting technique. I stamped the swallowtail using black stazon ink on both my card base and a another piece of whisper white cardstock. I then coloured the image on my cardstock piece using my marina mist Stampin' Up! marker. Then using a variety of circle punches I punched out sections of the coloured butterfly. I then adhered these to the swallowtail image on my cardstock, lining up the images so that various elements of the butterfly are spotlighted.

Simple Spring Card

Hello,

I have another card to share with you today. This is another card we made at card club. It is using the "Forever Young" stamp set which is sadly retiring The sentiment is from the beautiful and versatile stamp set "Creative Elements." I have just sponged the background using "So Saffron", "Daffodil Delight" and "Tangerine Tango." I have stamped the image using "Night of Navy." The border is made using the leaves and branches from the main tree image.

A beautiful and very cheap card to make.

Enjoy!!

Here is beautiful card we made at my upline's card club. You can view her blog here . This uses vellum cardstock. Our vellum is a nice weight and much stronger than most vellum. It has been embossed using the Flower Garden emobossing folder. The butterflies are cut and embossed using the Beautiful Wings Embosslits. They are decorated with our basic rhinestones. The card is finished off with Baja Breeze seam binding. This also hides the adhesive holding the vellum to the cardsock base.

Card Share - Ways to use Scraps

Hello again,

Here is a recent card I made using some of my scraps up. I try to use up all my scraps but sometimes the temptation to use a nice new piece of paper is too much. This card is made using colours from the Brights Designer Series Paper Stack. I have used Baja Breeze as the base colour and then used scraps of Tangerine Tango and Marina Mist to make simple banners. I have used the small curly label punch from sale-a-bration to make the sentiment. Although this punch was introduced during sale-a-bration it still available to purchase.

Nesting Boxes

Hello,

Sorry it has been a while since I was here. I am going to the craft show at Ally Pally tomorrow so am very excited. There are three nesting boxes that I made using the Sycamore Street paper I got free during Sale-a-bration. Can you believe it that once you cut yoru squares of paper there is no further cuttting and NO GLUE needed to make these boxes. The idea was given to me by a fellow demonstrator. Here is the link to her blog . These boxes all fit inside one another. I am going to be doing some of these boxes at card club shortly. The next card club is on Wednesday 1st May at the Kingsdown Methodist Church on Northfields Avenue. Please contact me for more details. We normally make 4 to 5 projects. The cost is £10.00 or free with a £15.00 order made on the day.

Have a good weekend crafting.

I stamped all over one side with melon mambo ink and the Mixed Bunch stamp set. It was then scored using the simply scored too and the diagonal plate to make the bag. I secured the top with some crumb cake ribbon. So cute and only takes minutes to make.

How to Decorate a Paper Bag

Hello,

Happy New Year!!

I hope everyone had a nice holiday. I returned to the office this week myself. This evening I thought I would so some stamping to de-stress. I wanted to make a bespoke gift bag. I used a white paper take out bag. I bought them in bulk from a seller on eBay. I have stamped it using the mixed punch stamp set - 125537. The inks used are Melon Mambo, Regal Rose and Pretty in Pink. I think it has come out quite nicely myself. I am going to attach the two tags shown back to back. They are stamped in Melon Mambo as well. The stamp set is from our Autumn / Winter Catalogue and is called Friendship Preserves - 127913. It was cut out using the matching framlits - Window Frames Collection - 129021. This is also from the Autumn / Winter Catalogue which ends on 31st January. If there is anything you want from this catalogue you need to order before it is too late. Some items may appear in the main catalogue later this year but some will gone forever.
