More Owl Cards!

Hey Guys

More owl cards! I am loving them!  These are a variation on the ones I did yesterday.  Here the owl is outside of the tree, not peeking out of it!

Most of the items used are the same as yesterday except for the colours which are Definately Daffodil and Pretty In Pink.

Hope to see you soon

Monday and March Frenzy!

Hi Guys

As the Neighbourhood jumbo wheel is discounted during March Frenzy I thought I would get it out and have a play.  This normally costs £8.50 but is reduced to £5.95 for the month of March, a real bargain!  This is a wonderfully versatile stamp which can be used for New Home cards, invitations or backgrounds, the list is endless!

I have used it here as a background stamp, with Loads of Love as the main stamp for this sort of, hope you feel better/get well soon card.

The Neighbourhood wheel is coloured in very pale, light colours so that the hearts are the main focus.  Obviously I used the stamp-a-ma-gig to have the little man sit properly in the truck but the hearts I stamped separately then cut out and put in the back of the truck.

The Neighbourhood jumbo wheel is all on its own in this card with one of the houses picked out as a focal point.  I like Tempting Turquoise and Basic Black together and think this works quite well although I have swithered a lot as to whether to add something, some cards are just like that though aren't they?  This is for a New House and so have stamped Congratulations in the Craft White Ink and layered it on an oval punch, scalloped oval punch and lastly the extra large oval punch! Phew that was a mouthful.

Have a great day

TGIF - at last

Hi Guys

Had a stamping morning with my friend Yvette who cant make the Wednesday evening class so we do the same class on a Friday morning, she brings her little man who is just adorable and sooo well behaved, aw.  It was lovely to have some crafting time and great for Yvette as she had an order to collect too. 

Funnily enough I was just telling her how the UPS guy is my favourite man because he brings me Stampin Up goodies, then the doorbell rang and, you wont believe me but it was him!!  What are the chances, Yvette told him he was my favourite chap and to be honest he looked a little afraid, haha.

I kept crafting for a little bit after Yvette left and I wanted to show you this cute Easter card.

So here is my first Easter bunny although I'm sure there will be more where he came from!  I have used Chocolate Chip, So Saffron & Tempting Turquoise CS the paper piercing tool adds a nice touch to the scalloped edge and I've used Very Vanilla grosgrain ribbon.  All of the bunnies bits are edged with Chocolate Chip Ink.

Have a great Friday

Hi Guys

Well weather still isn't fantastic and everytime I go out I seem to get a bit wet, its playing havoc with my hair!  Have been spending a fair bit of time crafting which has been just great.  Made some Valentines Boxes for my son to take into his teachers (and he also wanted one for the lollipop lady, aw).

These were made using Pretty in Pink cardstock with the large swirly stamp from the Bliss SAB set in Versamark.  I have used the In Colour Blushing Bride ribbon and topped the box with the Amour from Artistic Etchings layered with the Oval and the Scalloped Oval punches on Crumb Cake, the tag is also Crumb Cake.  Conal was very pleased with them and although he really isn't keen on the colour pink, it was okay on this occasion and the boxes were for girls!

Thank Goodness Its Friday!

Hi Stampers! 
I have been spending a little bit of time messing about with boxes getting them just the right size for whatever I want to put inside them and to be honest, it has been a lot of fun!  What's even better is that I have a bunch of little templates for boxes whether they will hold small 3x3 notelets or square cards 10cmx10cm or whatever.  Am feeling very pleased with myself.

I have used the Bliss set which is one you can earn FREE during sale-a-bration when you spend £45 with Stampin Up!  The box is made using Basic Black cardstock.  The band around it is made using Very Vanilla cardstock with the background stamped in Sahara Sand. The sentiment is stamped in Basic Black then punched using the Oval punch and mounted onto the Scallop Oval - pretty!
