Stampin' Up! Party This Way, makes fun birthday cards

Hi Again!
I have a card to show you all utilising one of the fun stamp sets in my collection! Party This Way. This was a stamp set I bought on a whim.... mainly for the fun candle image.... But, I don't use it all that often... So, I vowed to dust it off and have a play....

I have used the scallop square from the Sale-a-bration stamp set Punch Bunch, but because I don't actually own the punch, I sat with my scissors and cut around those scallops by hand! 

I used the colours from the Colour Q Challenge, which I was daunted by to start with, but once I started, I loved them together!

Tune in later to find another card, which is very similar... but uses a different stamp set!

Happy Stamping!

Sale-a-bration Stamp Set Punch Bunch, For You Card

Hi all,
Welcome back.... I have another card to show you, which is another Clean and Simple Card....

I was surprised after seeing the challenge colours from Just Add Ink this week, that I came up with two cards that I liked... It was a daunting colour challenge, using River Rock, Daffodil Delight and Cherry Cobbler. 

I used the Sale-a-bration Stamp Set Punch Bunch for this card, I coloured the image with my Stampin' Write Markers (directly onto the stamp) then stamped it on some Whisper White before punching it with my circle punch and layering it on the scallop circle. In the centres on the poppies, I did coloured in some yellow, and then got a fine tipped black pen, and drew in some 'stamen' I also added some shadowing using the small end of my Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Marker. 

If you would like to get the Punch Bunch Stamp set for FREE, email me or give me a call on 0405 173 237 to find out how today!

Until next time, Happy Stamping!

Sale-a-bration Punch Bunch

Hi! This is the second card I made for the Clean and Simple sketch challenge (I uploaded one last night...)

I made this one, photographed it, uploaded it, and then realised the card is not cut straight... Now, it's annoying me and I really do need to fix it... Sorry, I have to fix it.... 

Much better! A small amount of OCD! Hehe.... Anyway, on with the details! The owl is a stamp that is available in the Sale-a-bration set Punch Bunch, which I thought I'd be using a lot more than I have so far... but last night with trying to figure out what I wanted on this Thank you card, I decided to whip him out and give him a go... Love it! and can totally see more usage of him in the future! I realised last night, that I have an almost unhealthy obsession with buttons... I went through my jar, looking for the perfect accompaniment for this little rich razzleberry owl, when I came across a random button that matched exactly with my rich razzleberry ink! It was a nice surprise, considering all my buttons have been bought second hand, and are a real mismash of colours and shapes....!

Anyway, it's Sunday, which means Mark and I will be cleaning house, and spending time doing nothing, or exploring Newcastle... So, until next time, Happy Stamping!

Exploding Purse Gift Bag

Hi all!
I found a wonderful tutorial online tonight, and thought I'd use it to make something! I'm thinking of filling it with some small sized bottles of moisturiser, or something, and sending it to some one special!

I used the colours from the Colour Q Challenge,  but once again, there was a retired colour that I don't have, so I substituted with Regal Rose, I don't think it looks right... but it was the closest I had....

Anyway, thanks for looking! I hope there aren't many more pink colour challenges! Kids colours would be awesome!
