Spots and Dots

This weeks challenge on Stamping for the Weekend is spots and dots.  I just had to look at the Brights Designer Stack and all the papers which are just perfect for this challenge.  I also consulted the Colour Coach which came up with an interesting combination of Pacific Point, Melon Mambo and Pumpkin Pie.  This definitely isn't a combination I would have chosen but I'm pleased with the results.

I've used the Top Note Die to create the basic shape and then added flowers using the Vintage Vogue stamp set.  I've also used the spotted label from the Four Frames Stamp Set and the Decorative Label Punch.  The little flowers were made using the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch pack.  Then a few pearls to add more dots ...

Anniversary Card No 4!

I've continued with the theme of Greenhouse Gala DSP but today's card is completely different from the previous three - in fact they are all very different really.

This time I've used the Big Shot and the Fun Flowers Die and layered the flower using alternative sides of the double-sided paper.  In the centre is a Designer Button which matches perfectly and has been tied with Linen Thread.

The 1 1/4" striped Grosgrain Ribbon in Pumpkin Pie has also been tied with lined thread which gives a gorgeous effect I think.

The sentiment is again from the Cheers & Wishes stampset and I've used the Four Frames Stamp Set and matching Decorative Label Punch finish it off.

I've had such fun making these cards and thankfully my friend loves them all

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!
