Sweet as can be…

Hi

I have made this little tag. Not sure if I will leave it as a tag or if I will add it to a card front or maybe I will add it to a plain gift bag to dress it up.

I have used PTI Sweet as Can be stamped using PTI Classic Kraft and Berry Sorbet and Memento Tuxedo Black. The tag is PTI Tag Sale die #1 cut from a small piece of cardstock from my stash. Ribbon is also from my stash with some ABS twine.

I am linking this up to the following challenge

Something sweet

Thanks for taking a peek.

Thanks for visiting.

Cheers

Edit –

Happy Birthday with squares…

My hubby’s boss’s birthday. This is the card I made for him.

I punched out squares of Kaisercraft On the Move paper using 1 1/4″ punch. I then attached them to a piece of SBB CS and embossed this using SU Sizzix Square Lattice embossing folder. I embellished with ABS twine and layered with more cardstock onto card front. The sentiment is from SU Happiest Birthday Wishes set.

I am linking this upto the challenge at Sunny Challenges – Male card.

Wishing my eldest daughter luck she is sitting the UMAT later today.

(UMAT – Undergraduate Medicine and Health Sciences Admissions Test)

Next year she plans to study Medicine to later work in the area of Forensics.

Thanks for stopping and taking a peek.

With a Flourish or two…

Happy Sunday everyone.

Sharing a couple of cards.

This first card I made using Flourishes Kids at Play and Annabelle Stamps Sentimental Bluebells “Happy Birthday” Sentiment.

I started this card with a black card front. I cut the patterned paper from Cosmo Cricket Social Club just short of the amount I needed so I could trim and have my two black lines showing through. I then stamped my image using Versa fine Onyx Black on SBB kraft cardstock. I then used my distressing tool to sponge various inks onto my background. The sentiment was stamped onto a die cut scallop which I taped to the side of my image. Before I attached my image to the card front with foam tabs I felt it needed a little brightening up so I added some red cardstock from my scraps stash. I am linnking this upto the following challenges.

(I turned this sketch to the side)

My second card uses Flourishes Kids at Play and the sentiment is from Call me also by Flourishes stamped in SU Crumb Cake ink. I have CAS(E) this card from http://flourishes.org/2013/06/focus-on-the-beach-and-more-about-silke/

This is the original

and mine

For my card I have used SBB Kraft Cardstock, October Afternoon Farmhouse 8 x 8 pad along with Kaisercraft lace, Sizzix SU stripe embossing folder, Annabelle Stamps Natural Hemp Dienamics Rolled rose and CC Designs Leafy Branch dies. The button, ribbon, pearls and yellow cardstock are from my stash.

A spot of nature…

I have used PTI Tiny Treats and Tremendous Treats along with SU markers in Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point and Gumball Green. I also used my sponge tool with SU Certainly Celery and Bashful Blue.  I have used the DoCrafts Snowman Tag and have made it into a bookmark. I also used Ivory seam binding ribbon coloured with a marker (except the green I had green ribbon) and tied with ABS twine. I added some glossy accents to the coloured images. Miss A (8) is going to a party this coming weekend and the gift includes a book – so I thought it would be nice to include a book mark or three.

Here is a pic of the lady bugs

and the elephants

This is my entry for The Lollipop Ladies Challenge along with the current challenge at a Passion for Papertrey – both nature

I know elephants aren’t bugs – but they are so cute!

Daisy Lollipops…

After setting out to make one card for the  DT at the Lollipop Ladies I ended up with two cards.

The Challenge is Daisy Lollipops with the additional challenge of stripes – head on over to take a peek at the prize for this fortnight.

This first one uses AnnaBelle Stamps Easter Chickadee Stamp Set, Cuts by design and Backgrounds by Design 3 and Stampin UP! ink and markers plus Stazon Jet black. The paper is AnnaBelle Stamps digital paper Chilli in Rose along with a scrap of yellow from my stash. Finished off with Pearls from Kaisercraft.

My Second card uses Papertrey Ink Heart-2-Heart #7, Stampin UP! Ink, AnnaBelle Stamps gingham ribbon and yellow twine along with a button from my jar. The green cardstock is from my stash.

I am linking this card upto ABC Challenges – Anything Goes.

Just want to put my Mum hat on for a minute. My eldest daughter got a medal and her name goes on a trophy at school for the school sports carnival they had last week. She competed in the most events for her year level. She is very pleased – and rightly so. She has been trying to achieve this for a few years now and has been pipped at the post so to speak by the same girl, so to achieve this on her last year at the school is pretty exciting.

For those who asked Gran’s tooth is fine – just needed a filling! I think that is pretty good for 94.

Hope to be back later with something else to share – just need to brave the sun later to take a pic!

Thanks for stopping.

The Stamp Spot

Sharing this card I made using a stamp set from a win at The Stamp Spot in November. It is Mo Manning Fairy. I coloured her using Tim Holtz Markers and Stampin UP! Blush Blossom the other stamps are from PTI and the twine is from AnnaBelle stamps.

Head on over to The Stamp Spot  http://www.thestampspot.blogspot.com.au/ – my tag #3 won the November challenge. Lucky! The prize disounted washi tape – now to work on that list.
