Happy Birthday Niece!

Hi Guys

This card is for my niece Nancy who will be 7 years old on Monday.  She is a little cutie and very much a girlie girl so I went for Pretty In Pink for her main colour and thought she might like it personalised too!

I've used the Heat & Stick powder with Dazzling Diamonds and then my Big Shot to cut out the letters.  I really like how it turned out and hope she will too.

Hey Stampers

Today I have 2 cards to show you, both of which I cased from another blog cos they were just too cute to ignore, so Margaret and Making Papercrafts, thank you for some inspiring cards.

The card from Making Papercrafts used Night of Navy and Whisper White but I went for Black & White.  Such a lovely idea to have everything mirrored in negative.  The punches are Two-Step Bird and the Small Heart punch and are punched in both Black and White and the sentiment is from Occasional Greetings.  The crimper gives the lines top and bottom creating another element.

Obviously the colour scheme is the same.  The large stamp from Baroque Motifs is the main element with thte smallest flower from the Boho Blossoms punch being added on top with some tiny pearls in the middle.  The sentiment is from Cheer & Wishes and has been punched out on black using the Modern Label punch.

sorry the picture is a bit blurry, not quite sure what happened there, although I'm sure you get the jist of it ;o)

See you soon

Thursday Things

Hey Guys

Its a very dull, wet morning here in Mortimer so not very inspiring at all.  My daughters have finished up for Easter holidays so we will be heading into town later today which will be lovely.  Conal doesn't finish until the 8th so it will be nice to have a week with just the girlies.

Am off to the hairdresssers this morning, haven't been in several months and my hair is taking on a straw like quality.  The continual straightening is catching up with me, boo!

The card I have today is one from the Catalogue although I have changed it a little and used different colours (its right at the beginning but cant remember the page).

The colours are Marina Mist & Bashful Blue.  The Bashful Blue circles are 1 3/8 and the Marina Mist circles are 1 1/4, the smaller circles are raised using dimentionals.  The top flower is from Vintage Vogue and is stamped in Crumb Cake on Whisper White card.  The little heart was stamped with the heart from Punch Potpourri and punched out using the little heart punch.  A strip of matching DSP is placed along the bottom and some linen thread is wrapped around it with a sentiment.  For you is part of the Just For You stamp from Just Believe.

Here it is a little bit closer.

As well as making the matchboxes about I also did a couple of cards, still on the theme of Valentine's Day, one very like the box and another, using the Small Heart punch which is very apt.
