Growing Green: Thankyou card

Today i have another card to share with you made with lovely 'DSP' from the 'Woodland Walk' Collection and the lovely 'Growing Green' stampset:



A 'Crumb Cake' cardbase, the 'thank you' sentiment is from the 'Because I Care' stampset, inked in 'Early Espresso'. I cut a square of 'DSP' from the 'Woodland Walk' collection, mounted onto 'Early Espresso' card, which I wrapped with some 'Early Espresso' 'Satin Ribbon'. Finally i stamped a flower from the 'Growing Green' stampset, in 'Early Espresso' ink onto 'Garden Green' card. I carefully cut out the flower with my 'Paper Snips' and placed a 'Basic Pearl' in the centre!

This card was inspired by a card featured on the 'Splitcoast Stampers' website - which is great for ideas if you suffering from a creative block - check it out!

Happy Anniversary Hubby!

Hi all, It's a year today that i had the happiest day of my life marrying my wonderful hubby!!

Unfortuately i'm not in the same country as him to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, but i'm certain that we are going to have plenty more happy anniversaries to make up for this one and we are off to the Dominican Republic when i return from Tanzania to spend some quality time together! I can't wait!!

Here's the card that i made for my wonderful hubby for our first anniversary:

The card base used her is 'Early Espresso', on each panel of the card i have placed a strip of 'DSP' from the 'Woodland Walk' collection, which i have punched a hole out of each using the '1-3/8" Circle Punch'. I have used the 'Owl Punch' to create the his and her owls. The owls were created from scraps of 'Early Espresso', 'Very Vanilla' and some 'Springtime Vintage DSP'. The branches have been created using the 'Two-Step Bird Punch' from 'Certainly Celery' cardstock. Here's the inside of the card:

I have run some 'Crumb Cake' cardstock through the 'Big Shot' with the 'Top Note Die' to create an insert. The sentiment comes from the 'Something to Celebrate' set and has been inked in 'Early Espresso'.

I hope my hubby loves this card, and if by some chance he is looking at this blog i love you baby... can't wait to go to the Dominican Republic and spend some time with you. Miss you xxxx
