A 'Mixed Bunch' card for Tori!

Hey all! Hope you're all having a lovely Summer! Today i have another card i made and gave out during the busy month of July but didn't have time to share with you... a birthday card for Tori, whose birthday it was on the 23rd.

I create an easel cardbase from some 'Night of Navy' card. I glued a piece of 'Melon Mambo' 'DSP' onto the cardbase. The flower was created by stamping the flower image from the 'Mixed Bunch' stampset onto 'Whisper White' card using 'Melon Mambo' ink. I punched it out using the coordinating 'Blossom Punch' and then layered it onto a 'Night of Navy' blossom, the leaves were also made using the punch from some 'Lucky Limeade' card, i glued these all into place and popped a 'Basic Rhinestone' in the centre to add a bit of bling!

I stamped the sentiment (from 'Petite Pairs') using 'Melon Mambo' and 'Night of Navy' 'Stampin' Write Markers' and punched it out using the 'Curly label Punch' mounting it onto a 'Melon Mambo' 'Curly Label Punch' cut in half. I secured this in place using 'Dimensionals' to create a device to prop up the easel card! Finally i stamped the circle image from the 'Mixed Bunch' set using 'Melon Mambo' ink and punched them out using the '3/4" Circle Punch', gluing them in place and finishing them off with a little more bling!!

I really hope Tori had a brilliant birthday and enjoyed the card! She has recently got the crafting bug so hopefully this will give her some inspiration to get crafty!!

APRIL PROMOTION: FREE DSP - Easter Sour Cream Sweetie Packages!

Happy Good Friday everyone! Hope you are all well and enjoying the start of a long weekend. I have had a lovely day today - shopping this morning with my good friend Lucy and then spending the afternoon with my Nan and Dad. Whilst there i delivered some little Easter treats - made from the bold, bright 'Beyond the Garden DSP' (that is currently part of the April Promotion and FREE with all purchases £45 and over!!) Here they are:

These little packages are so simple to make - you can make 6 of them from one piece of DSP! and they made the most perfect containers to pop little sweets and other small gifts!! All you need is some 'DSP' and some 'Red Sticky Tape'. Easy peasey!!

To decorate these packages i stamped the cutey bunny from the 'Perfect Postage' stampset in 'Melon Mambo' and 'Lucky Limeade' ink, onto 'Whisper White' card. I punched these out using the 'Postage Punch' and then layered them onto 'Melon Mambo' and 'Pear Pizzazz' card punched out with the'Curly Label Punch'. Here's some close ups:

I stamped out the 'Happy Easter' sentiments from the 'Teeny Tiny Wishes' set punched out using the 'Word Window Punch'.

Hello... 'Elementary Elegance'

Hello ... 'Elementary Elegance'!

Onto a square of 'Very Vanilla' i stamped the frame stamp from the 'Elementary Elegance' using 'Early Espresso' ink and then punched out the centre of the card using the 'Curly Label Punch'. I then mounted this onto a piece of 'Night of Navy' card and then punched out the 'Curly Label' again. On a strip of 'Very Vanilla' card i stamped the 'hello' sentiment using 'Early Espresso' ink and handsnipped on edge. On a small scrap of 'Very Vanilla' i stamped the crown from the set using 'Night of Navy' ink, cut it out by hand and glued it into place. I mounted all of this onto a 'Tangerine Tango' base.

I just love this design because you can pop a picture or image into the frame to completely customise this design!! You can of course change the sentiment as well to suit the purpose of the card!

Sale-a-bration: Elementary Elegance Showcase Continues...

I'm completely in love with the Sale-a-bration stampsets on offer from Stampin' Up this year! There are four stampsets and a beautiful collection of papers up for grabs and all for FREE with a qualifying order!!

At the moment i'm showcasing the beautiful 'Elementary Elegance' stampset, so here's another card for you to enjoy:

To start a 'Peach Parfait' cardbase with the 'Dots,Dots,Dots' stamp inked in the same colour ink. Ona piece of 'Whisper White' i stamped the frame stamp from the 'Elementary Elegance' stampset using 'Pool Party' ink, which i cut out by hand.

To create the paper ribbon you  take a strip of card - in this incident 'Indigo Island' card and fold it under and then back out and cut a 'v' in each end. This is a cheap and easy way to make 'ribbon' for any card or project. Plus a great way to use up all those odds and ends you've got stashed in a box!!! On a pice of 'Whisper White' card i stamped the 'Happy Birthday' sentiment in 'Lucky Limeade' ink and then punched it out using the 'Curly Label Punch', raising it using a 'Dimensional' to create a 3D effect. On a small scrap of 'Whisper White' i stamped the cute little butterfly from the set in 'Peach Parfait', cut it out by hand and glued it in place.

This card not only shows off the fab 'Elementary Elegance' set, but also this years brilliant 'In Colors'!!

Sale-a-bration: It's 'Elementary' ... Elegance!

OK all, today i have a new Sale-a-bration stampset to share with you today and over the next few days - the beautiful 'Elementary Elegance' stampset:

So here's todays card showing off this stampset to it's full potential:

This card could of course be made in any colour combo and have any number on to suit any occassion or recipient. But this cardbase has been created from some 'Pretty in Pink' card. On a piece of 'Very Vanilla' i stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment in 'Rich Razzleberry' ink (don't you just love that font?!) and then above that i stamped the frame stamp also in 'Rich Razzleberry'. Next i punched a 'Modern Label' from some 'Rich Razzleberry' card and placed it in the centre of the frame. Next i ran some 'Pretty in Pink' card through the 'Big Shot' using the 'Timeless Type Junior Alphabet Die' to create the '50'. Finally i stamped the beautiful bird stamp onto a scrap of card with some 'Rich Razzleberry' ink and handsnipped it out and glued it in place at the bottom of the frame. I mounted all of this onto some 'Rich Razzleberry' card and then placed it all onto the cardbase!!

I just LOVE this stampset and i'm certain i will make you completely, utterly fall in love with this set too!! I just love how it coordinates with the 'Curcly Label Punch'!!
