Button, Button

Hello,

The card I have to share with you today is one I made for this weeks Less Is More challenge which is entitled Buttons or Ribbon.  I thought I'd use a bit of both!

I used the Printed Petals stamp set to make my own DSP on a Whisper White background, stamping the various flower images in Real Red and Daffodil Delight.  I layered this with a piece of Daffodil Delight DSP from the Brights Stack, onto a card base of Tempting Turquoise.  I used some 5/8" Whisper White Satin Ribbon across the middle.

I stamped another Printed Petals image in each of the colours and punched them out with the Scallop Circle Punch.  These were each topped off with a Designer Button  in a corresponding colour, stuck on with Glue Dots.

The sentiment was added right onto the DSP, in Basic Black.  It was from the Hostess Level 1 set called Afterthoughts.

It's probably not the most Clean and Simple (CAS) card I've ever made for the Less is More challenge, but I think it goes well with the sunshine that has been out for the last few days :o)

Later in the week I will be showing you some other make and take projects I did at a workshop this past weekend, and also some thank you cards I made for my lovely customers.

Printed Petals Birthday

Hello,

Monday again, but not so bad this week seeing as it's a day off work.

I managed to get some crafting done yesterday afternoon and started working my way through a list of cards my (almost) sister in law asked me to make.  Three down, another 10 or so to go!!!!  It will be keeping me busy today :o)  And a brilliant excuse not to be helping my lovely boyfriend re-felt the shed roof!

So, a birthday card today.  I used the Printed Petals stamp set and my trusty Colour Coach to find this lovely bright colour combo of Sahara Sand, Regal Rose and Tempting Turquoise.  In never ceases to amaze me how colours I would never have though to put together work so well.

I used all of the colours and various stamps to cover some Whisper White card, then I inked up the image that co-ordinates with the 1 3/4" Scallop Circle Punch in Regal Rose and stamped it onto a separate piece of white and punched it out.  I added a Tempting Turquoise Designer Button and popped this over the same design on the main sheet.  I mounted it on some textured and smooth card, and before putting this all onto the Sahara Sand card blank I added my sentiment.  I stamped Birthday Wishes (from So Happy For You SAB retired set) in Versamark ink, then added White Embossing Powder and used my heat gun to melt and set this.

I was worried that the white sentiment wouldn't show very well on the light card base, but it came out really well.

I am entering this card into The Paper Players challenge this week - Anything Goes!

Colour Q Challenge for a Tuesday

Hello everyone!

Today I wanted to share with you a card I have made for the Colour Q Challenge

As the name suggests it is a colour challenge - this weeks colours are Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Crumb Cake, Not Quite Navy and Whisper White.

I went with a simple design using the Printed Petals stamp set and a sentiment from the Tiny Tags set.

The card base is Crumb Cake textured card, layered with Not Quite Navy textured card which has the largest Printed Petal stamped on it twice in Whisper White ink.  

I added a nice bright Daffodil Delight Printed Petal punched out with the Scallop Circle Punch and topped it with an Old Olive Designer Button.

The Sentiment was stamped in Not Quite Navy and I used the Word Window Punch, then popped it in the card with a Dimensional.

Tomorrow is going to be a mixed bag or fun and not so fun!  I have the day off work so will be spending it being creative and making lots of lovely cards and maybe a few 3D items too, the downside is I'm off work as my car is going for a service!  Could be expensive :o(

I'll be back tomorrow with my days creations.........  xxx
