Simply Stampin Challenge #6 Buttons & Bows

Hey Guys

Well Chris (hubby) is in Nigeria at the moment so I have been spending way more time than I should be, nosing around craft sites and the most wonderful blogs, bliss!  Came across another challenge, I feel a fixation coming on haha, Simply Stampin Challenge so def take a look, its a lot of fun.  This weeks challenge is Buttons or Bows so your card should feature either or both of these.  Here is my offering.

As you can see I've used the Flower, Daisies #2 Stampin Up die & buttons, well actually everything is SU, cute selection of button colours though.

To make this card you need:

Card - Old Olive, Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise, Real Red
Embellishments - Buttons, Brights Collection, Twine
Tools - Scallop Punch, Sizzix Big Shot, Flower, Daisies #2, Old Olive Marker

Hope you like it

Week 14 - White on White, Less Is More Challenge

Hey Guys

Yes that was a long title ;o)  This card was actually really difficult to do as normally I'd never dream of sticking to one colour.  Was a bit worried that things weren't standing out but the picture almost gets it all.   The wonderful thing about these challenges is that they pull you out of your comfort zone, think I need a biscuit ;o)

I've used the Flower, Daisies #2 die with my Sizzix Big shot and the leaves are from the Bird punch.

I embossed the word love hoping it would stand out a little more than an inked sentiment.

Here it is from a different angle but the sentiment if difficult to see.

The flower and leaves have been lightly sponged with Grey ink.

Hope you like it.

Flower, Daisies #2

Hi Guys

I have been pretty busy trying to clear up my craft room so that I am able to find things.  Making cards at the moment is a lesson is patience!  Anyway, half way through I found ssome flowers I had cut out in So Saffron using the Bigz Dies and ended up making a card.  Using supplies counts as clearing up surely?


The big flower just makes me think of summber and the simplicity of the Pear Pizzaz card and ribbon appeals to me.  You can just make out that I've stamped the sentiment in Craft White ink then in Basic Black to give a sort of shadow effect.

Here it is a bit closer to see the black and the white together.

A close up of the pretty flower.  What a great Bigz Die to have.  May have to make some more of these!

To make this card you need:

Cardstock - Pear Pizzaz, So Saffron, Bashful Blue (Textured)

Stamps - Sincere Salutations

Embellishments - Designers Buttons Subtles, Pear Pizzaz Stitched Poly Ribbon

Tools - The Big Shot, Flower, Daisies #2 Bigz Dies

Ink - Whisper White Craft, Basic Black

See you soon
