Flower Shop Wall Plaque

Thought you might like to see this wall plaque I have been working on. The shape has been cut using a specialist punch, which is not from Stampin' Up, and the small metal flowers and leaf head pins are from my own stash. Everything else used to complete the project is from Stampin' Up as listed below.

Inks: Calypso Coral, Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry and Staz-on Black

Card: Calypso Coral, Melon Mambo and Old Olive

Stamps: Flower Shop, Summer Silhouettes, Clockworks and Gorgeous Grunge

Punches: Pansy, Bird Builder (leaves) and Small Heart

Ribbon: Ruffle Stretch Trim in Crisp Cantaloupe

The base background paper (which has been stamped over so may not be recognisable) is from the Watercolour Wonder designer papers available in the Spring/Summer Seasonal Catalogue.

Six-Sided Sampler

Just a quick post today showing a couple of cards where I have used one single image from the Six-Sided Sampler stamp set, and teamed this with papers from the Brights (pink) and the Neutrals (black and white) designer paper stacks.

The image has been stamped using black Staz-On ink, coloured with markers and cut out using the Hexagon punch. This will then layer nicely onto a punched Artisan Label.

Markers: Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive

Additional card: Melon Mambo

Sentiment Stamp: Perfectly Penned

Hope the rest of you weekend goes well.

Dress Up Framelits with Fresh Prints Paper Stack

Hello Everyone, hope you had a good weekend.

Showing two more cards featuring the Fresh Prints paper stack. The little dresses have been cut with the Dress Up Framelits. The idea came from a swap that my fellow demonstrator received at the Stampin' Up Convention in Manchester last year from Claire, visit her blog at claireyfairycrafts.blogspot.co.uk. Claire's swap was designed as a Christmas card but I have changed the colours and used her idea to make some Birthday cards.

The background stamp used in both cards is from Delicate Doilies, and the dresses have been raised on foam pads. Colours used in the card above are Coastal Cabana, Real Red and Sahara Sand.  

My second card .....

with colours of Real Red, Sahara Sand and Whisper White.

Back soon.

Fresh Prints with Hexagon Punch and Six-Sided Sampler

Hello Everyone,

Sale-a-Bration and the Spring/Summer Catalogue are well under way, so I thought I would show you a couple of cards today - one of which uses the Fresh Prints paper stack from the Spring/Summer Catalogue. I know a few people have ordered these paper stacks from me and might like an idea for using them.

For this card I have simply punched out hexagon shapes from the paper stack and used the 'snail' tape runner to stick them onto a piece of white card.  I found it easier to stick the shapes to a larger piece of white card stock and then trim to the desired size. I raised one of the hexagons on foam pads and added a greeting to finish my card.

I love the colour scheme of these papers which is Coastal Cabana, Crumb Cake, Real Red and Whisper White, and I think some people find the smaller size of the papers easier to use when card making.

And for my second card .....

I used the same colour scheme and stamped the shapes onto white card, again slightly larger than I needed and then trimmed the piece to fit my card front. I stamped one image onto spare card and punched this out fixing it to the card with foam pads, adding a flower and a gem. 

I hope you like these cards and thank you for following my blog even though the posts are a bit erratic these days!
