Flowering Flourishes meets Delicate Doilies

Warning! the photo isn't too brilliant but the light today is yuk and the weather the same!

I know I said I might be away for a bit but you try telling my brain to stop crafting! at about 3am this morning I had so many ideas for cards!!!

anyway I have seen lots of crumb cake cards around recently and so I decided it was my turn to use this lovely colour and teamed it up with whisper white craft ink and real red card, I think the real red makes it pop

I used my Stampin' Up! markers to colour in the stamp from Flowering Flourishes and the hello stamp from Tiny Tags

Here is a closer look at my tag, I used a circle punch to round the end and added a button from the brights collection

Any questions let me know

Until next time .......... fingers crossed I can make one thing a day and not be in too much pain?

Gift box cards and envelopes

Today I have a similar box to share with you that you have seen here already but this time decorated slightly differently

It holds 4 mini note cards and envelopes

this is something we made in a class some time ago, the envelopes were made using the Diagonal plate on the Simply Scored board

Here is a closer look at the Tiny tags punched with the Jewelry Punch

The very vanilla paper was stamped using the Confetti stamp set

Until next time  ............ enjoy your crafting....

Fun Flowers and Paper Buttons

Woo hoo..... I'm off on holiday to Lanzarote for a week with my sister Jane today so I've schedule this post as I will be at the airport or on my way!

I made this card using the Fun Flowers die and the Blossom Punch (only available from the Summer mini that ends at the end of August, hopefully we will get it in the October catalogue though?)

Tiny Tags stamps and Jewelry punch, the paper is Twitterpated dsp

I made the paper button and coated it using Crystal Effects

and a closer look at the Calypso Coral bakers twine

I even decorated the inside

Hope you have a fantastic week

Until next time .... I have scheduled some posts for this week

Tic Tac Treat Holder

Just for a bit of fun I made a little treat holder for a packet or two of tic tac's

I think they turned out okay, I used Circle Circus stamp set for my sentiment and to stamp on the Pink Pirouette card and the little Jewelry tag was used to punch out the friends sentiment from the Tiny Tags stamp set and tied on with some Linen thread. Soft suede taffeta ribbon tied the package together

here is a close up

back to work for me today but working from home so that's not so bad!

Hope your week is going well

......... Until next time ......... have a great day!

Simply Scored gift box

Hello, well I am back to crafting again! well I will be later..... the last few posts were scheduled as I was away on holiday for a couple of week sunning myself and recharging my batteries and am raring to go .....just hope I have some mojo?

This little box I made using the Simply Scored board and inside it has a packet of Rolo's I love how you can make a box to fit just about anything, if you have any questions about making box's let me know and I will see if I can help.

The above is the close up of the tag.

I used Melon Mambo and Tempting Turquoise card and a small piece of matching Tempting Turquoise grosgrain ribbon and a small amount of white Bakers Twine.

The little tag is made using the Jewelry punch and Tiny Tags stamp set.

Have a great Saturday!

Until next time.............

Bright Blossoms Note cards and box

Isn't this weather just fantastic? I certainly am making the most of it and sitting out every day but that does mean I don't do any crafting!

However, I do have a little project to show you, I made this little box and 4 cards and the 4 envelopes that fit.

Using the Bright Blossom stamps from Stampin' Up! of course, I made the box using Crumb Cake card and Crumb Cake from the Neutrals stack of cards to decorate, then the Jewelry tag punch and Tiny Tags stamp set all tied with white bakers twine.

Here is a closer look

I inked up with Whisper White Kraft ink and embossing using White embossing powder

I made the envelopes using the Diagonal Plate and the Simply Scored Tool all new products from Stampin' Up! available in the Summer Mini catalogue

Right then off to get my tea and breakfast and get ready for another day in the sunshine.

Until next time ............... hope I have something to show tee hee

Mocha Morning and Beautiful Wings

Wow! as I normally say I can't believe how time is flying by so quickly...

I'm off today to do a class ..... I know it's Good Friday but..........

I scheduled this yesterday so that there would be something to look at on here this weekend.... I am  crafting all weekend, well apart from going out for lunch on Sunday ...... hope you are having a lovely Easter weekend.

The photo is blurry but it's nicer in real life.

I used Mocha Morning designer paper for the Beautiful Wings butterlies, the small oval punch for them to sit on and strips of Vanilla, Brushed Gold and Soft suede cardstock.

Finished off with the little hello from tiny tags and a couple of Jewel pearls

a closer look

Well have a great Friday and

Stampin' Up! Create a Cup Cake for Lesley

Happy Birthday Les, I hope you are going to have a really good day!

I won't tell anyone your age and in return you don't tell mine....... tee hee

Anyway hope you like your card?

I made it using the new Create a Cupcake stamp set from Stampin' Up! and the Cupcake Builder punch available in the Spring Mini.on page 22.......... See on the right hand side bar or the catalogue button at the top .....to download a copy or contact me if you need a copy 

The coluurs I used are Basic Black and Pink Piroette (the picture doesn't show the Pink too well, (I'm rubbish with the camera) with a touch of whisper white and real red, the designer papers are from the Neutrals and Subtles stack,  the ribbon is Pink Piroette and I made a little flower in black and attached the tiny tags using the Jewelry punch and last but not least the Happy Birthday sentiment is from the Create a Cupcake stamp set.  Oops sorry that was not the last bit....... the lace border is using the Lace Ribbon Border punch, the banner and scallops are from the  Petal cone Bigz L die and the Perfect Pennants die, the jewels are the last item!

Here is a close up of the Tiny Tags and the Pink Piroette shows up a bit better in this photo

That's it for now......... Until next time .........have a great day!

Build a Blossom Tu tu and disappointed

Phew! Saturday and another class this afternoon, I'm looking forward to meeting some new ladies today, last night's class must have been good....... my lovely ladies didn't leave until 11.15pm! I couldn't believe the time it went like a flash so we must have all been having a great time.  I will take a photo of one of the cards we made and show it soon, it's a remake of one I did a while ago.

Well I'm disappointed because the man in the brown van didn't turn up yesterday!!! how annoying when you are expecting him! well my regular man Jim is away in South Africa on holiday and the newby is not doing so well....... It's now scheduled for Monday but......... I have another class that day but not at home at my friend Wendy's house and one of the stamp sets is for Shirley.......... so she won't get it . boo hoo sorry Shirley x Unless by some chance he delivers before I leave but I won't hold my breath.......

So, onto today's card, again using Stampin' Up! Build a Blossom stamp set, the bodice is using the Round Tab punch and the tags are punched using the Jewelry punch and Tiny Tags stamp set, some bling from the Basic Jewel rhinestones and the background embossed with the Perfect Polka dot embossing folder..... oh and the colour is Wisteria Wonder............

........... Until next time ................ be crafty ..............

Hope to be back tomorrow with the photo from last night's class x
