Stampin' Up! Curly Cute and Elements of Style paired to make a Birthday Card

Hi Guys, I had a good weekend just gone, with Stamp Club on, and getting to spend time at home not doing much, I finished reading another good book too :) I did make a couple of cards last night before bed, here is the first

So, this is a Crumbcake base, which has been layered with Sahara Sand, and Very Vanilla. The vanilla piece has been stamped with the Elements of Style rose branch in Sahara Sand and the sentiment from Curly Cute in Crumbcake. After attaching the image panel, I tied some Vanilla Seam Binding Ribbon around the card, and tied a bow. I cut out the little leaves using the Big Shot and some scrap Old Olive card and attached it. I made some rolled scallop roses from Wisteria Wonder and attached them to the leaf. I'm really pleased with how this card came out... :)

I am entering this into four challenges, the first is the sketch from Stamping 411, which I have flipped the embellishment to the other side, next up is the Embellish Magazine colour challenge, to be paired with Die Cuts, next up is the Wee Memories Brads, Buttons OR Bows challenge and finally Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes

Thanks for dropping by,

And don't forget, I have Blog Candy on offer here

Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Up, Up and Away and I create a Good Luck card

Hi guys! I'm procrastinating this morning in getting back to my assignment, so I thought I'd share the card I made last night....

This is an Early Espresso card base, layered with a piece of Daffodil Delight which I had popped through the Big Shot with the Lattice Embossing Folder. I cut out a white circle, and with a piece of scalloped circle scrap, created some clouds using Bashful Blue ink and a sponge. The little guy is from The Greeting Farm, and I have coloured him in using my Stampin' Write Markers, and a blender pen. If you want the list of colours, just comment below, and I'll post them... I cut out a leaf using the Little Leaves Sizzlet, and Old Olive and attached it to the circle. I stuck down a few buttons and sewed them on. The sentiment, is from Up, Up, & Away, and I have inked up, word by word and stamped it on a piece of Marina Mist.

I am entering this into two challenges, the first being the sketch over at Inkspirations, I really liked this sketch :) The second challenge is the { : Embellish Magazine : } Colour challenge with the twist of buttons...

Thanks for dropping around :)

Stampin' Up! Tiny Tags, and Scallop Rolled Roses on a cheery Hello card

Hi again, tonight after making dinner, I headed into the craft room, and struggled (a lot!) to make a card I was happy with... but, eventually I succeeded...

I started off knowing I wanted to use the newest sketch from Card Pattens, but little else. I didn't know what I wanted to go in the circle element, what colours, embellishments or even stamps that I wanted to use... So, after a bit of experimenting, I decided to colour this darling little girl from My Favourite Things, and paper pieced her top. I then figured as I'd paper pieced, I knew I could enter it in to The Lollipop Ladies challenge, so I took inspiration from the cupcakes, pulled out some Crumbcake card stock, made a card base layered some Rich Razzleberry and Tempting Turquoise for a fun colour palette, while not being the same as those in the cupcakes gives me the same fun impression... I rolled some scallop roses, and one out of a circle, which I have posted a tutorial to here, and cut out a little leaf using the Bigshot and Little Leaves sizzlet. I used Tiny Tags and matching punch to create a sentiment and popped it just behind the roses, peeking out. A row of rhinestones finished off this card nicely... I am also entering this in the Simon Says Stamp and Show Stamptember hop!

Stampin' Up! Little Leaves, Scallop Roses and Tiny Tags for a Thank You Card

Hi, I made this card with someone special in mind. Someone who has done a lot for me over the past few (very) stressful days. So, here is the card

So, this is another Crumbcake base, which has been layered with Not Quite Navy, sponged around the edges in Night of Navy. I have sponged a background for the little girl (which was coloured with Stampin' Write markers and a blender pen) using So Saffron and a touch of Peach Parfait. I sponged a piece of card in green then sprayed it with water, after it was dry, I ran it through the Big Shot with the Little Leaves Sizzlet. I layered that on the side of my card on top of some Peach Parfait strips. I tied a piece of twine around the border, looped my Tiny Tag in it and tied a bow. I then made some Rolled Scallop Roses, which I have made a tutorial for here, I then stuck them on using some dimensionals.

I am entering this into The Sweetest Thing sketch challenge. I made it a rectangle card, as I don't work well with squares.... 

Thanks for dropping in!

Happy Stampin'!
