Good morning sunshine........

As the title suggests it is a lovely sunny day here but still quite cold. My card today is showing how wonderful the Good Morning Sunshine DSP is. As the papers are double sided I have simple cut 2 strips from 2 different papers then reversed one of each to get 4 different patterns on my card.

Recipe:
Stamp Set: Hello Again
Cardstock: Whisper White, Good Morning Sunshine DSP
Ink: So Saffron
Accessories: Bone Folder, Snail, So Saffron ribbon, Scallop Edge Punch

This is how I made my card:

• I have cut my c/s at 10.5cm then scored & folded at 14.8cm. This makes the card appear taller & has become my favourite way to fold cards.
• I have cut 4 strips of DSP from 2 different sheets. Then I turned over one of each of the 2 different strips so I had 4 different patterns showing.
• On the white c/s strip at the top of the card I have scored every cm or so to give an interesting texture & also used the scallop edge punch on the bottom edge.
• Using So Saffron I stamped the "hello" on the top.
• I then adhered a length of ribbon to the card & added the bow part with adhesive.

I am also testing out my new watermark on my photo.

Trendy Trees

Good afternoon all

Trendy Trees has become a favourite set of mine lately (mainly because it is the only male oriented set I own!). It's a set that is easy to use free-hand or with the aid of the stamp-a-ma-jig. I love my stamp-a-ma-jig as I tend to stamp a bit lopsided at times so this helps perfectly. I find that it also helps if your hands are a little unsteady too.

Enough jibber-jabber, here is a pic of the card:

Recipe:
Stamp set: Trendy Trees, Happy Moments
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Whisper White
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive
Accessories: Snail, sponge, Stamp-a-ma-jig

This was a super easy card to make, here is how I did it!

• I stamped the trunks in Chocolate Chip evenly along the Whisper White cardstock
• Using my Stamp-a-ma-jig I then lined up the tree tops & stamped them with Old Olive ink
• I then stamped the sentiment at the top
• Using a sponge I then sponged Old Olive all over the Whisper White to soften it a little
• Finally I assembled it all & now it's ready to send off.

That's it for today,

Bella Bleu Voucher Holder

Hello again,


I've been doing a little card making lately & have a number of cards to show you as soon as I get to photograph & upload them. In the meantime I have a gift voucher holder to show you that I made many months ago.....

Recipe:

Stamp set: Friends 24/7

Ink: Night of Navy

Card stock: Kraft, Night of Navy, Bella Bleu DSP, Whipser White

Accessories: Snail, corner rounder punch, mat pack, paper piercer, button

The voucher holder is sturdy enough to be given as is or you could wrap in tissue paper if need be. This would make a snazzy little gift for that crafty person in your life (I know I wouldn't mind getting given one!!!)

Thanks for taking the time out to check out my blog,
