Clean and simple, Black and White

Hi everyone

I hope you have had a lovely weekend.........in Gloucestershire we have escaped the rain mostly which has meant I have been out and about walking and also clearing my desk of paperwork......it's a job I really hate and I let it pile up and then have to spend several hours on it.  But I have a lovely clean desk and all my bills are paid and filing completed.

I thought I would share a masculine card with you today using the Traveller stamp set

The strip of patterned paper is from Back to Black and the greeting from Butterfly Basics.  I have stamped in Memento Black ink, rounded the corner with the project life corner rounder and used the extra large oval punch to punch out the greeting.  The background cardstock is Naturels White.

Love is in the air........

Hi everyone

Today's share is a simple wedding card, although you could change the sentiment and have a wedding anniversary card instead.

I love the fancy fan embossing folder used as the background and what would I do without my butterfly punch?  The layering of different sized circles gives such an effective look and of course I have used the candy dots together with one of the brad bases.  This card is a great way of using up your left over scraps of paper from other projects.

Well its time to run as I have Hannah to collect from school.....I usually pick up on a Friday as a treat and tonight we are off to the cinema to see The Duff, a treat to Tesco first though for chocolate as I refuse to pay cinema prices.....what a naughty girl I am he he he he

Enjoy your bank holiday weekend.........

Flowers using the clay and moulds

Morning everyone

Another stamp a stack share today.  This card is the complete opposite to yesterday's share and there is much more detail on it, but I think it works.

I have used the spiral punch along the top, this was one of my first buys over 5 years ago, stampin' Up! retired it and then brought it back again after a few years.  The leaf is from the Flower Frenzy die and die cut using the big shot.  The flower is from Petal Potpourri and punched out using the medallion punch.  The flower in the centre is made using our clay and the moulds.  I just love this material.  A greeting and more candy dots finish this card.

Postage would be higher than 1st class, but hey some are worth it right.....?

Love & Sympathy

Morning

Today's share is another card from my stamp a stack class.  It uses the Love & Sympathy stamp set. I love the simplicity of this stamp set, but it delivers just what you need on the loss of a loved one.

I used the Naturals White cardstock as my base and then layered Pear Piazza and Whisper White.  Some matching candy dots complete the card.

Baby cards times 2.........

At a recent stamp a stack event we made a couple of baby cards, using the stamp set Something for baby with co-ordinates with the baby's First Framelits dies.  If you purchase both items together as a bundle you get a 15% discout.

The sentiment is from That's the Ticket and is punched out using the Ticket Duo Builder punch and layered on a scallop oval of cardstock.

I have added a little candy dot to the centre of each flower.

Some little Easter projects

Hi there

Just a short post from me today, whilst tea is cooking.  I have set the timer to make sure I don't burn the potatoes which is my favourite trick........

Firstly I have a fun Easter carrot, which is a sour cream container made from card stock, and then the fun carrot top is made from snipping some cardstock with our fringe scissors.

I then made a simple card using the Crazy about You stamp set.  I have managed to get two colour tones by doing a simple trick of second generation stamping.  You ink up the stamp and then stamp onto cardstock and then stamp again without re-inking.  With our really vibrant colours you can do this trick up to 4 times. (blackberry bliss is fab for doing this).
