Big on You

Happy weekend crafters.  Today's card is one I started a couple of weeks ago but only finished off yesterday evening.

This is one of the four extra large greetings from the Big on You photopolymer stamp set in the spring-summer catalogue. I hope the set is carried forward to the new annual catalogue.  Demonstrators will find out on Thursday 30th April when we get to see an online version of the new 2015-2016 catalogue.  Yay!!!  So excited!

Don't forget, the new 2015-2016 annual catalogue goes live on 2nd June.  The current 2014-2015 ends on 2nd June, not 30th June as printed on the front cover.  Demonstrators get to pre-order some new products from 4th May so watch out for sneak peaks on my blog next month.

So back to this 5" x 5" card.  The image was stamped in Elegant Eggplant on Whisper White card that was cut out with the largest square die which is scalloped. Neat.  I coloured in the text with marker pens in Wisteria Wonder, same as the card base, So saffron, Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz.

I added a few Petite Petals flowers which were punched out with the coordinating punch. The card was finished off with a few pearls and faux stitching in Wisteria Wonder.  The envelope, made with the envelope punch board of course, is Blushing Bride DSP from the subtles paper stack, finished off with a petite petal flower on the flap.  Thanks for stopping by x

Bordering Blooms cute easel card with a drawer

Hello crafters.  Today I have this cute Daffodil Delight and Pacific Point mini easel card with a drawer to show you. It's my take on the ones made by Papercraft Button.  Check out her video tutorial on youtube here.

The border stamp is from the Bordering Blooms photopolymer stamp set.  Have you tried Stampin' Up!'s new photopolymer stamps yet?  They're fabulous. The flowers, from Petite Petals stamp set, are stamped in Pacific Point on Whisper White card. They were punched out with the coordinating punch and shaped with my bone folder. A bow in Daffodil Delight seam binding ribbon finishes off the card nicely.

Thank you for visiting x

Happy Birthday to you

Hello crafters.  Hope you had a lovely weekend. I had an enjoyable day of crafting today, just playing with different bits and pieces.  I ended up making a pretty card for this week's Pals Paper Arts challenge.

I had in mind a pretty background to colour in myself and this flourish stamp from Creative Elements was the perfect choice.  I used Soft Suede to stamp the image and to colour in the dots. For the rest of the colouring in I used Pink Pirouette, Pear Piazzaz and Wisteria Wonder.  To finish off and give a softer look, I sponged the edges with Pink Pirouette and matted the background on Whisper White card.

The butterfly was stamped with Versamark on Whisper White card and heat embossed with white embossing powder.  I then sponged over with the pink and green inks (emboss resist technique) and added pearls.  The flowers were topped off with punched flowers using one of the Itty Bitty punches and finished off with pearls.

Thank you for visiting and see you again soon x
