Blooming Birthday

I enjoyed making some cards with the Blooming Birthday Stamp Set this afternoon.
The first card was cased from Julie Kettlewell. I used the Curvy Trio Punch for two of the corners and added the small butterfly from Papillon Potpourri. I used the Wink of Stella Pen to colour in the flowers. I added a drop of re inker to the corresponding ink pad lid and a drop of water. I found that the pen coloured in better with the extra water.

I got the idea for the next card from Angie at Chicnscratch. I changed the rectangle for an oval and used the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Tin of Cards Stamp Set. I love these Pastel colour combinations.

The third card is also cased from Angie. I stamped the background for the base card using the Saleabration Stamp Set What I Love.The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments Stamp Set.

This is a small Gift Bag which I made using the Gift Bag Punch Board. It was good to get it out again as it is such a good tool to have in my Craft Room.

More Playful Pals

I am loving the Playful Pals Bundle! I did a Craft Fair last Saturday so I made lots of the triangular boxes using the Die from the Pyramid Pals Thinlets. I then added a Saleabraton chick from the Honeycomb Happiness Stamp Set sponged with ink.The sentiment was stamped on a tag cut from a Die in the Baker's Box Set. I managed to fit four foil wrapped mini eggs inside.

Easter Bunnies were fun to make too. The Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper makes a cute nose.

Cards are fun to make with the stamp set. I cased the first two from Tracy May at Bedlams and Butterflies HERE



The next two are from the Spring/Summer Catalogue page 44.

The one eyed monster is cased from Tracy May

Playful Pals Bundle

Today I had a Craft Day at my house and one of the sessions was boxes using the Playful Pals Bundle. The ladies had such fun with these stamps and matching Dies.
Above is a cheeky chicken.

Lastly the original animals which I made before the class. I gave the ladies a chance to decide which animals they wanted to make when they started the class. They completed two cows,two pigs and two chickens each and one person managed to do the frogs as well. We had a lot of laughs!

Circle of Spring

I have been preparing these cards for a Make and Take this week at St. Oswalds Church, Bidston.
We decided to use the Circle of Spring Stamp Set from the main Catalogue. It matches the Wondrous Wreath Dies and has a number of useful sentiments including Thank You, Happy Birthday, Happy Easter, Happy Mother's Day and Hello Spring.

I embossed the Marina Mist Cardstock with the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder. The tiny flowers were punched out using the flower Itty Bitty Accents Punch.
The bow comes in the set.

The background for this card was some of the Garden in Bloom Designer Series Paper. I inked the edges to give a bit of definition. I added a few extra tiny flowers from the stamp set and finished it off with a bow made using the Bow Builder Punch.
