Just love these easel style cards. This was a SCS challenge No. TLC242. Recommend you have a look at all their samples.

The little image is House Mouse and the flowers are made using Stampin' Up flower punch. I have used Stampin' Up Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink and Close of Cocoa cardstock. The wording is from my Justrite Birthday Wishes set.

I have made this for my lovely neighbour Jackie, I hope she likes this one.

TISSUE BOX


I have gone mad making these tissue boxes. I think they make perfect Christmas gifts. I will upload all the ones I have made as soon as I get the time. The box is made using a template from Creative Expressions. They also do one for the longer type tissue box but I'm told by my dear friend Jo you need A3 card for that style. The square box however uses two sheets of A4.

I have used the Spellbinders Poinsettia Nestabilities and of course the circles straight and scalloped. The background has been done using Stampin' Up Ivy roller with Old Olive ink which is the same colour as the box itself.



Sorry it isn't a great photograph, but hopefully you can see enough to encourage you to make one yourself.
Thanks for looking.

Cute Card

I'd just bought my first Martha Stewart punch, the fence, and am happy to report that it does punch through light weight cardstock. It struggled with Stampin' Ups Real Red cardstock but weirdly enough it went through Chocolate Chip ok!!!!

I ran the background through my Cuttlebug using the Dots embossing folders.

I really enjoyed making this card, sometimes the simpliest of cards are the best.


Stamps used:
Dog - Whipper Snapper
Sun - High Hopes
Kennel - Stamp Addicts
Words - unknown

Bye for now

Another Hinged Card



Another hinged card. Aren't these cute. On this one I have used Penny Black unmounted stamp and coloured the image in using my Copic markers. Again the cardstock used are from Anna Griffin.
What a sweet little message.

Just found these Hinged Cards over on SCS. How cute are these. And they are so quick and easy to make. I have got quite carried away with them.

SCS challenge - TLC222


This picture shows the opening of the card to reveal the cute little message.
The little nurse cupcake is from Taylor Expressions and the papers used are from Anna Griffin.
