Another Birthday Card - Field Flowers

I forgot to put the photo up of another birthday card I received last month - a lovely card made by one of my downline Tracy - who CASEd the card from Andrea B. I have to say this is has to be my personal favourite from the current catalogue - not a massively popular one, but for me I completely love this set!

and here's a close up of the flowers that she hand cut and popped up on Dimensionals

Thanks Tracy it's a beautiful card!

Twitterpated Apron

So I was tossing around ideas for Mother's Day cards as I have a class on it coming up really soon! (details here) and wanted to use some of the products from the new mini and this was the result.........

Sorry for the average photo - it was taken at night (when all my best crafting gets done), if you want to get supplies for this then the DSP and pleated ribbon you can get from the Twitterpated product share and of course if you want to join us to make this and 3 other cards book in for my class on May 1st.

Live, laugh & Love Scrapbook Pennants

I CASEd the layout from somewhere on the web (apologies I couldn't find the link back when I went to look for it), but I changed the papers, stamps, colours & modified the layout a bit too........I have to make a matching page for this as this was just a single scrapbook page I made a few weeks ago and just haven't made time to make it a mate yet (I have a personal aversion to single scrapbook pages unless they are the title or end pages in my album). I love the al a carte stamps and in particular the Triple Treat Flower - not the least for which there are three handy punches to make layering it effortless, but in the Summer mini catalogue there is also matching designer paper - how cool is that?? Like many projects, I took the card stock and ink colours directly from the designer paper that I chose to use, Bring on the Cake. The page is designed to have only a single photograph on it - on the Poppy Parade section, which is hopefully large enough to leave a nice coloured boarder around the photograph to frame it nicely.

The pennants are all popped up on Dimensionals and threaded onto Early Expresso Bakers Twine, also from the Summer mini catalogue. The centre of each little flower on the pennants is highlighted with a small Basic Pearl and the scallop strips along the bottom were all cut with the Tasteful Trim die and the Big Shot. 

Stamps: Triple Treat Flower, Field Flowers, On Your Birthday, Pennant Parade

Field Of Flowers Card

Sorry about the hiatus between blog posts - this time of year everything gets a bit mental as we all try to fit in so many last minute things! The card below was CASEd from Mary F. and was what I took the colours etc from to make the matching envelope and gift voucher holder that I showed you in my last post. Did I say I loved this set - you will be seeing more of this in the new year - but tomorrow I'll probably start to show you some more Christmas Cards, including some super fast ones so that if you are like me and leave things until the last minute.............

Field Of Flowers Gift Voucher

I made a gift voucher recently for a dear friends birthday with my long awaited Field of Flowers stamp set - it was the one set in the catalogue that I wanted because I liked it - not for classes, not for giving to someone else, but purely because I wanted it and it took me 3 months to get it! The top is held down with velcro and it flips out to reveal the voucher - it has a matching card which I will show you tomorrow....I am also loving that hostess set Happiest Birthday Wishes - so cheap and versatile!

Stamps: Happiest Birthday Wishes, Field of Flowers

Ink: Soft Suede & Early Expresso

Card Stock: Very Vanilla, Soft Suede

Accessories: Mat pack & paper piercing tool, Big Shot, Top Note Die, paper snips, basic pearls.
