Stampin' Up! Whimsical Words and I create a Thank You card

At this time of year, I find I need a lot of Thank You cards among my Christmas cards, so I sat down and made this one today

I used a More Mustard card base, then layered it up with some Whisper White. The main image panel is the Stampin' Up! Builder Wheel Polka Dots, which I unmounted it to make it easier to use, I cut out a border using Wild Wasabi card and mounted it behind the polka dots. I then cut out two circles, one in Whisper White, the other in Wisteria Wonder.  I stamped the sentiment, from retired set Whimsical Words in Wisteria Wonder (there are a lot of W's in this paragraph!) Then with some mustard felt, I cut out 2 rolled roses using a new addition to my Big Shot, which is a rolled rose die. I stuck them down on two Wild Wasabi leaves cut out using the 2-step bird punch. A little bit of twine finishes off this card. 

I took inspiration from a new challenge blog that is extremely popular so far, Runway Inspired Challenge, I have been inspired by the colours, the mustard, dark green, white and pop of purple (what is with those glasses?) I was also inspired by the actual catwalk, while I haven't used stripes, but instead I've used polka dots. I also used the sketch from Cardabilities , and finally, the Ribbon Carousel Challenge which was to use Twine.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Doilies and 2 Step Bird Punch create a Birthday Card

Hi Again!
I have a super bright birthday card to share with you today :)

This is a white card base, layered with pieces of Island Indigo, Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry and Wild Wasabi. I stamped these pieces in VersaMark using Delicate Doilies and the Medallion Background stamp and then embossed them using white embossing powder. I then cut a piece of Marina Mist and layered a piece of white on top, I stamped the sentiment (from Upsy Daisy) and then using my 2 step bird punch, cut out the bird in the same colours as the background. A little bit of twine finishes off this card. I am entering this into the Card Patterns Sketch

Thanks for dropping by! 

I have another card to show you, a much more CAS card, so be sure to come back a bit later :)

Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Delicate Doilies makes a Thank You card

Hi guys, I had a bit of time to spare this evening, so decided I really needed to get my mojo back, and get back into my craft room... Here is the card I made

Ok, so this card is almost completely Stampin' Up! Everything but that adorable lil girl.... she's from My Favourite Things and a small strip of patterned paper, which is almost a perfect match for Calypso Coral, it is from My Minds Eye. The card base is New In Colour, Wisteria Wonder, layered with some Pear Pizzazz and some Calypso Coral and patterned paper. I stamped the doily on a piece of Whisper White, in Pear Pizzazz and Poppy Parade, then set it aside. I stamped the little girl on Watercolour paper in Staz-on and then coloured her using my blender pens and ink pads, in Poppy Parade, Wisteria Wonder, Daffodil Delight, So Saffron and Blushing Bride. Once I'd finished colouring her, I cut her out and stuck her on the whisper white piece with a sentiment (from Just Believe) peeking out from behind her. To finish off this card, I used some Calypso Coral Ruffled ribbon and also added a cute scallop rolled rose  and a leaf from the 2 Step Bird Punch. 

I took inspiration from two challenges, the first was the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches, which was a great sketch this week (see below), and the second was the ColourQ Challenge, which I don't participate in weekly, but try to have a play when I am inspired :) 

Ok, that's all from me tonight, 

Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Wings Embossolit makes pretty embellishments!

Hey, back again with a card to share. In my order that I received yesterday, I got the Embossolit, Beautiful Wings to use in my Big Shot. I had been putting off buying it, until I knew how it worked... after my mum bought it (always the guinea pig...) I had a go, found how easy it was to use, and bought it!
Oh, I just wanted to let you all know my mum has finally joined the Stampin' Up! family! She decided to sign up as my downline after seeing how much fun I was having! I think she'll do so well!
Anyway, onto the card

This card uses the sketch from Mojo Monday, and the colours were an experiment... hehe.. I like how it turned out... The circle was cut using my Stampin' Up! Circle Scissors, with the edging a piece of bashful blue punched with the Scallop Trim Border punch, which I've then cut at intervals to go around my circle. The leaves are from the 2 Step Bird punch, and the quote from Butterfly Prints... The ribbon is Bashful Blue stitched grosgrain, which is now retired... 

Thanks for looking, and Happy Stamping!

If you've got a moment, pop over to my Mums Blog and say Hi! 

Owl Valentine Card

My house mate and I are going to be each others Valentine this year.... we're both single, and with no dates for either of us, we decided it would be ok to be each others...
Here is the card I made for him

I didn't want anything over the top lovey-dovey.... as we are best friends, and it would be a little odd... 

I'm entering this in a few challenges the sketch challenge at Inkspirations Challenges

The Just Add Ink - Just Add Love Challenge.

Have fun, and thanks for checking in!
