Flowering Fields - Celebrate You

Hi there welcome back.....

We are continuing the Flowering Fields theme with today's card and adding a bit of Wildflower Fields as well.

I like this sentiment its from a fabby stamp set called Suite Sayings and is available from the Spring/Summer Catalogue until 31st May...

My card base is Old Olive with a layer of Blackberry Bliss, followed by a layer of Wildflower Fields DSP. I stamped the image in Old Olive and Blackberry Bliss using markers to colour the image, then I coloured in the leaves with Pear Pizzazz and the flowers with Perfect Plum.

I stamped the sentiments in Blackberry Bliss, then using a bone folder I curled the card so it would stand out. I used the Curvy Corner Trio Punch to shape two of the corners of the topper and mounted it on to a piece of Old Olive card and cut the corners to match. I used dimensionals to mount this on to the card.

I wrapped some thick bakers twine around the card finishing in a knot and then I frayed the ends. You can colour the thick white bakers twine using an ink pad or the re inkers, just make sure its dry before putting on you project....lol.

Shadow Box Anniversary Card and Gift Box

Hello and welcome back....

Today I have another Shadow Box Card to share with you, it's an Anniversary card I made for my Best Friend and her Hubby of 21 Years.

 

This is the box, it measures 16cm x 16cm x 2cm. I used Island Indigo card, 1 piece 7 7/8"  and I piece 7 3/4" square , scored at 3/4" each side.

 

I used the Curvy Corner Trio Punch to create the tag.

 

Lastly I wrapped some ribbon around and finished with a bow.

 

 

I made the shadow box with a piece of 12" x 12" Whisper White Card, in the center I layered Island Indigo and Pool Party card and a piece of Whisper White card which I punched out a Heart and added a photo of the couple behind it.

 

I wrapped some Island Indigo ribbon around the outside of the box finishing with a bow, then I made a little banner using the stamp from the Number of Years Stamp Set and the flower from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack and some Candy Dots.

 

The Happy Anniversary is also from the Number of Years Stamp Set, stamped in Island Indigo.

 

Inside the card I stamped Happy 21st Anniversary using the stamps from the Number of Years Stamp set, I am loving this one already....

 

Really happy with how this turned out hope the recipients like it as much as I do...

Build A Birthday Card

Hello and welcome back....

Today's card is simple but sweet....

 

I started off with a Thick Whisper White base card and added a Cucumber Crush mat.

 

Then I stamped the cake stand in Tip Top Taupe and the cake layers in Watermelon Wonder, Delightful Dijon and Cucumber Crush. I used the flower from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack to create some little flowers for the cake and added a pearl to each one.

 

Lastly I stamped the sentiment in Watermelon Wonder.

 

The thick Whisper White card is just perfect for card bases, I prefer to use the thinner Whisper White for stamping on and water colouring.

Cute Teddy Calendar

Hi there and welcome back...

I love making novelty calendars, this one is one of my favourites, its a cute hanging Teddy Calendar. They are just so much fun to make.

 

Isn't she just the cutest, she's a paper piecing teddy which I cut out on my Silhouette Cameo form Pink Pirouette card, She has been sponged around each piece with Rose Red ink before assembly.

 

Her little bow has been made using the Heart from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack and the Flower from the Tree Builder Punch. Then I used the White Gel Pen to do some faux stitching. Her nose has been coloured with the Rose Red Marker Pen and then covered in Crystal Effects to make it shiny.

 

I used the Rose Red Marker pen to do faux stitching around all the pieces of the teddy and added some features to the face. Then I created a banner with a piece of Rose Red card, I used the Curvy Corner Trio Punch to shape the corners and did some faux stitching with  a White Gel Pen. Then I stuck the calendar to the banner.

 

Lastly I added some Thick Bakers Twine to hand the Teddy up with....

Curvy Keepsake Wednesday

Hey there and welcome back to another Curvy Keepsake Wednesday...

This weeks Curvy Keepsake Box is a cute little Puppy Dog and aren't they adorable....

We have Spot on the left and Jess on the right. To make them you need to make up your curvy keepsake box, for these I used Soft Suede Card and sponged around the edges with soft suede ink.

This is what you will need for the Punch Art part of the box. I started with the muzzle, for the spots I used the stamp from the Watercolour Wonder stamp set and stamped spots all over it. Then I glued the nose in place and also the tongue.

I then stuck the muzzle to the box using dimensionals. I stuck the eyes together and added them to the box using dimensionals.

I sponged the ovals and using a bone folder I curved them slightly and glued them to the inside of the box at the front as per the picture... Add some detail to the eyes and nose using a white pen.

For Jess I used smaller circles for the eyes and added a little red bow....

I also made a little name tag using one of the dies from the Curvy Keepsake Die set and added a name using the Alphabet Rotary Stamp....

I hope you like his weeks Curvy Keepsake Box, check back next week for another cute box....

Summer Sandals

Hello and welcome back...

I love making things with card, I like all that fiddly messing about and the joy of having created something 3 dimensional out of something as simple as card...why is she waffling I hear you say!!! well because today's share is another of Becky Roberts patterns... a cute pair of Summer Sandals....

Oh My Goodness aren't they just the most adorable little Summer Sandals....lol.. I had so much fun making these.. I used the English Garden DSP ( I have actually used a whole pack of this already, usually it takes me ages to use a whole pack...I must like it...lol)

The bow is the gorgeous Seam Binding Ribbon ( my all time favourite ribbon ) if you buy the Whisper White you can dye it any colour you want using the Classic Stampin' Ink Refill, just remember to let it dry thoroughly before you use it!!!!!!

And these flowers are so pretty, they are made the same way as yesterday using the Petite Petals Punch, Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack and the Tree Builder Punch. With the addition of another Petite Petal in Old Olive cut to make 2 leaves and 3 leaves.

I hope you like, thanks for stopping by...

Summer Ensemble

Hello and welcome back...

Today I have a little Summer Ensemble to brighten your day and looking out of my window I would say that we need it, it is currently pouring with rain....lol....typical British Summer...

I would like to thank Becky Roberts for the patterns, check out her site Inking Idaho HERE she has some fab ideas. I didn't use the pattern for her Beach Bag as I didn't have the Kraft Tag A Bag Gift Bags so I made my own little bag...

Isn't this just an adorable beach set, Beach Bag, Flip Flops and Windmill to pop in my sandcastle...

Its quite a tiny little bag it measures approx 4 1/2" x 4" x 1" (11 cm x 11 1/2 cm x 4 cm ) and you can make it with one sheet of 12" x 12" card stock. I chose the beautiful Bohemian DSP...

I love this cute little tag with the miniature Flip Flops, the card stock is Blackberry Bliss and Island Indigo and there is  little bit of Venetian Crochet Trim too...

The bow has been made using the Bow Builder Punch out of Blackberry Bliss Card and the handle is held on to the bag by a Candy Dot Brad Base and a Island Indigo Candy Dot. I love that you can co ordinate the brad by just adding a different Candy Dot to the center....

How cute are these Flip Flops...

The flower has been made using 2 flowers from the Petite Petal Punch, 1 flower from the Itty Bitty Punch and a tiny flower from the Tree Builder Punch. Punch each flower out and scrunch them up, flatten them back out and layer them largest to smallest. Then add a brad to the center and attach to the flip flops.....

And here we have the perfect beach set, now all I need is to find where I put the Sun...lol

I hope you enjoyed today's little project, thanks for stopping by...
