Card 2


I thought we would add a wedding day card as Jan one of my ladies has had several to go to lately and it is that time of year.......
We used the gorgeous Confetti White cardstock for the base and then layered with pale plum and a smaller piece of confetti white. Its a shame pale plum is retiring as it is one of my favourites colours. The stamp comes from the Fun and Fast Notes stamp set and was inked in basic grey and then coloured in using ink from the lid of the grey and pretty in pink using blender pens. The confetti white is great for this type of colouring in. I have raised the image by adhering using dimensionals.

Card 1 From Monday's Class


This was our first card of 6 made yeserday. We used whisper white as the card base followed by a layer of pretty in pink. We then cut out a 1 3/4" circle in the pink card. On a piece of perfect plum card we inked a butterfly stamp from Flight of the Butterfly and punched out using the butterfly punch. The greeting along the bottom came from the same stamp set and was inked in perfect plum. The eyelet border punch along the bottom gives a pretty touch to this lovely card.

Hostess Gift


As promised here is the blue version of this months hostess gift. I really like the colours together. I have used bordering blue which is a retiring colour, together with night of navy and bashful blue. I have used the rock and roll technique when stamping the flowers in the oval image to give some interest to the card.
You can make one design and then change it over and over by just altering the colour combination.
Thanks for stopping by.

July Hostess Gift


Are you thinking about hosting a workshop? This is the gift all my hostesses will be receiving this month. Its a lovely little tote bag with 3 notelets inside. I have used rich razzleberry and melon mambo for this bag with whisper white for notelet fronts. Pocket silhouettes is the stamp set and the eyelet border punch has also been used.
I nearly through my toys out of the pram yesterday when I couldn't get my first attempt at the bag right but once my sister pointed out that I had cut the cardstock wrong it was easy to do.
Join me tomorrow and I will show you the same gift but with a different combination.

July Make and Take


Good morning everyone. I thought I would share with you my July make and take for home workshops.
Do you like it? would you and your friend like to have fun and make your own. If the answer is YES please get in touch as I still have a few available dates in my diary for home workshops.
My colour combination for this month is very vanilla, chocolate chip and so saffron. I have used vintage vogue yet again but have chosen a different stamp and we will be using the heat and stick powder and dazzling diamonds to create a Wow factor.
