Thanks!

Today's card is for one of my customers to say thanks for her order.  This is a quick and easy card using the So Many Thanks stamp and a piece of Seam Binding Ribbon in Baja Breeze.

Fancy a Punch?

I thought this had already been posted but following the problems with Blogger last week, it seems to have disappeared! 

Fancy a punch isn't quite as bad as it sounds!  It's the latest challenge on Papertake Weekly and so I decided to have a go and see what I could come up with.

I started off with Newsprint DSP and the Fancy Flower Punch.  Two flowers have been layered, inked around the edges with Poppy Parade and then a matching button from my stash added to finish it off.  The leaves are from the Two Step Bird Punch and the butterfly is yet another Stampin' Up! punch.

The scalloped edge is Poppy Parade cardstock and the Scallop Trim Punch and finally the sentiment is from the Four Frames Stamp Set and the matching Decorative Label Punch.

Fingers crossed this time!

Three different stamps

The Allsorts Challenge this week is to use at least 3 different stamps.  I've managed that with this card as you can see.  The stamps are mostly from the French Foliage stamp set; the sentiment is from Cheers & Wishes.

The bottom section of the card was masked whilst the remainder was inked.  This technique is really effective and simple to do.

New Class Schedule!

Classes in 2012 will take place on the 4th Saturday of each month.

If you'd like to come and join the fun, make some wonderful cards and meet like minded people, then give me a call and book your place.

Butterflies

Don't you just love butterflies?  I do and couldn't resist using the beautiful Botanical Gazette DSP as the background for this lovely card.  It didn't really need much else so I just added a couple of stamped and punched out butterflies which had been embellished with rhinestones.  The card stock and the ink are in Concord Crush.  As a final touch, I used Crystal Effects to highlight the olives on the branch.  Simple but effective I think.

The Claudia and Company challenge is butterflies; Divas by Design  has an anything goes challenge and for Flutterby Wednesday the card must have a butterfly, fairy or angel.

One For the Boys

Another sunny day but a bit chilly outside again so I've decided to stay in and make a card for the boys - something I always find difficult for some reason.  Why is that when there are some wonderful stamp sets and papers to use?  Anyway, the Plane and Simple stamp set is perfect for mens' cards. I hope you agree.

I used Concord Crush as the base card and embossed it with the Perfect Polka Dots Textured  Impressions Embossing Folder.   Crumb Cake card stock has been used for the scalloped circle and Word Window.  The image and sentiment are also in Concord Crush.  I added a Big Designer Button from the Springtime Vintage Suite.   The final element is the gorgeous Crumb Cake Seam Binding Ribbon.

"One for the Boys" is the challenge over at Bunny Zoe's Crafts; over at Cards for Men the theme is circles and the Papertake Weekly Challenge is anything goes with the option of something round.  Also entered into the Top Tip Tuesday open challenge.

Perhaps I should go out and enjoy the sunshine while it lasts.

Three Designer Papers, Two Flowers and a Button!

Following a fantastic weekend of sunshine and walking out on the NorthYorkshire Moors, I'm back at my desk making cards again.

Over at Crazy 4 Challenges this week,  the recipe is 3 designer papers, 2 flowers and a button.  I've used  3 of the papers from the Springtime Vintage Suite, made 2 flowers using the fancy flower punch and added a button from the Big Designer Buttons in the Springtime Vintage range.

I've also added a sentiment from the Cheers & Wishes stampset, cutting it out with the Modern Label Punch.
