Organic Grace Stamp set!

I used Kraft c/s for the base card, the front of the card is in Blush Blossom c/s. I used the Eyelet Punch down the opening of the card, I also used the same punch on a strip of Chocolate Chip Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the inside of the card after sponging the edges with Close to Cocoa.

I masked and stamped the leaves in Mellow Moss ink, the flowers are stamped on Very Vanilla c/s in Perfect Plum and the top centre flower is on dimensions to give it a lift.

The dragonfly is stamped on very Vanilla with Sahara Sand ink and I only stuck it down by the body and lifted the wings to give it a look of flying.

The Best Friends is from Garden Whimsy stamp set and was stamped in Pale Plum and sponged with Mellow Moss.

A VERY soft and beautiful card for a gorgeous friend!

SORRY for the side shot AGAIN, I am trying to work my phone out so I don't have to print my pic's every time I want to up-load them!

More Chocolate Cake!

Yummy..... Chocolate Cake and Strawberry's!

I used Choc Chip c/s for the cake and the Red with small black spots on it, out of the Holiday Treasures Designer Series Papers for the Strawberry's, The leaves are made out of Garden green c/s.

I sponged the edges of the leaves in Garden Green.

I also used Linen Thread, which I should have died with

Garden Green But didn't think of it at the time!

I think Green Linen Tread would make it look more like the stem on the strawberries~Don't you think????

Hope you like it!

Sketch Challenge 1

Here is a sketch Challenge I did from Alisa Tilsner blog-sketch Challenge 1.

I used Real Red, Brilliant Blue and Very vanilla c/s.

I used Embrace Life stamp set and Versa-mark the back ground of the main card. The single flowers are stamped in Boardering Blue, Real Red and So saffron, I masked and then sponged these flowers and the 2 Real red ones have been put on with Dementions

For you stamp is from One of a Kind Stamp set and stamped in boardering Blue I'm not sure if I like it yet!

Changed the Bikini to a Corset!

I thought I'd have a go at a 3d corset!
I used black c/s for the base of the card, Pink Passion c/s for the bottom part of the corset along with vellum over the top stamped in Whisper White using the Boho back ground stamp set. I used the Gel Pen for the sew lines and did the top section only in vellum stamped in Whisper White with the Boho back ground stamp.
I even put the darts in to make it 3d.
I think next time I will have to put the pink under the top section as well!
What do you think???????

My Bikini

Here is my Bikini!

I used Black c/s as the base card and Pink Passion c/s for the bikini, The Pink Passion is stamped in Versa-mark using Boho back ground stamp set and a clear Rhinestone from the Pritties kit for the belly ring.

EASY but cute!

My 1st challendge

Here is my first challenge I have contributed too. The colours are Rose Red, Perfect plum, Old Olive and Whisper white, I just luv these colours together!

I used All Scallops stamp set to stamp along the bottom of the card in Whisper White, I then used the Scallop edge punch, I then Versa-mark the background of the card (all 3 colours) with Embrace Life Stamp set.

I stamped the single flower from Bloomin with Beauty stamp set in Rose Red on whisper white c/s and then just sponged the flower to give a soft look. I used Dimensions to give it a lift also. The ribbon slide is from the silver Hodgepodge Hardware and the ribbon is 1/4" grosgrain in Old Olive.

Going outside the square!

I have gone outside my comfort zone today and done something differant!

The scane doesn't do much for it!

I accually like the way it turned out!

I stamped the leaves from Lovely as a tree Stamp Set in Garden Green using my Stamp-a-ma-jig then stamped over the top of it with Versa-mark then embossed it with clear.

The same has been done for the other 2 leaves only 1 in Really Rust and the other in Close to Cocoa.I then spondged the edge of the Very Vanilla c/s with Old olive. I stamped the One of a Kind in Old olive and sponged the edge in Really rust.

The I matted the Very Vanilla with Really Rust c/s and cut the 4mm bigger! Then put on to Chocolate Chip c/s.The main card is Very Vanilla and stamped in Old Olive using the Sanded b/g stamp.

I then decided to use my blender pen and chalked the leaves to give them more colour. Giving it a real Autum feel.

I needed something to keep my cards in that I have on hand ready to use!

I did see this idea somewere BUT I am sorry I can not remember were or from whom!

I pulled apart an envolope and made the gusset to hole 6 cards each........ depending on brads used of course.

I made the holder to hold 4 card storage box's BUT have also made the pattern bigger so it can hold 6 or 8.

I used Bold Brights c/s in Green Galore, pixie Pink, Summer Sun from Earth Elements, Taken with Teal from Rich Regals, the box holder in done in Lovely Lilac. I used a Silver Hodgepodge on the front and used my label printer to right cards! I used Say it with Scallops stamp set and punched them using the Scallop Square punch. I also used Very Vanilla c/s and sponged the edges in contrasting colours. On each card holder I used VersaMark and stamped with Embrace life stamp set.

Here I have made a Ribbon Album, I used a sheet of Designer Series Paper from Holiday Treasures and cut the cover from book-board, I put 10 pages in using whisper white c/s and held them in place with Taffeta Ribbon in Very Vanilla, Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Mellow Moss and Pretty in Pink, 2 of each colour. I also made a flap to help hod it closed, I used the Round Tab punch and folded it in half for extra strength, I used Regal Rose c/s as I also used it for the inside of the covers.

You could decorate the pages OR make them into pockets for keep-sakes!

Just LUV this paper!

Here is the pic of the box with the lit open, you simply slid the lid upwards!

Here I made an ALL in one box and lid from Holiday Treasures Designer Series Paper! This box is sooooo easy to make and the double sided paper makes it even easier! I exstended the top to make the box taller! This one is made from one full sheet of 12 x 12.

I also used the sqallop edge punch for the edge of the lid!

My Auntie was given a box of chocolates for Christmas so we pulled the box apart to see how it was made........... AND.............NOW we can make them too!

Hope you like this idea!

We thought it was clever!

I will also post a pic of the box with the lid open.

Here's another one I had fun making and truely luv as well.

I got the pattern from www.scrapbooktrendsmag.com once again I have changed the way it opens and once again it would make a lovely invite for a wedding or even a deb-ball.

I used Basic Black c/s for the jacket, I also stamped in versa-mark on the jacket collar using the sea-weed from ocean commotion stamp set so it looks like it is velvet, (hard to see in the photo) 2 plain black buttons, whisper white for the shirt with black brads as the buttons and 5/8" grosgrain ribbon in real red for the bow tie.

I used this idea from Janine Tinklenburg, only I have changed the way I did the card, as I have made mine free standing and I also made my dresss from Vellum and stamped it with whisper white using the Boho backgrounds stamp set, the leaves are punches from wild wasbi from last yrs In-colors, I used the 5 leaf punch from spring flower bouquet punch, I made the roses from using a CP1 4 leave clover punch. The body is Blush Blossom c/s, I also used the sqallop circle punch in Pale Plum as the base for the flowers. The ribbon is Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon.
