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.

Morning all,

I decided to take on the CAS-ual Friday challenge this week of making a non-traditional shaped card!

I love cupcakes, so thought I'd have a go at making one as a card, and this is what it turned out as:

I used the scrummy Peach Parfait card for the cupcake base.  I think you can just about see in the picture that I scored lines right across to make it look like the cake wrapper.  I also daubed the edges.

The frosting is cut from Blushing Bride card, again daubed, and Basic Rhinestones added for the sprinkles!

The cherry on the top is cut from Poppy Parade using the 1" Circle Punch, and then covered in Crystal Effects.  The sentiment is from the US Create a Cupcake stamp set, inked in Melon Mambo and punched with the Word Window punch.

Good enough to eat!!!!!
