Mother Card

I new stamp set Mother by Papertrey Ink, I love this set I combined it with the Life set and stamped the silhouette floral onto the base card added a couple of pearls and a punched flower and I was done.

Life

This was made with the PTI stamp set Life designed by Lisa Johnson, I love this set some of the sentiments are beautiful ans the foliage is all suitable as silhouettes.

I stamped onto a very deep coloured purple card stock using Versamark and white detail powder then heat embossed it, the white paper border was made using a 3 in 1 punch made by Kreaxions, I wish I'd bought a couple of these punches when I was at Harrogate as I can't seem to find a stockist in the UK.

Prayer Card

The card below has an inverted look to it as there is 2 cut out nestibilities shapes cut out of card & the prayer is stamped onto the base card inside the cut out shapes.

The top layer of card has been stamped with a PTI flourish and the little flower stamped from the same set then cut out and glue in place on top of the flourish.

The Prayer stamp is by stampendous

Elegant Damask

I used the the Papertrey ink Damask Stamp set and stamped the elegant large Damask image onto the white card base and added a pearl to the centre.

I also used one of the papers from PTI and using the EK success border punch made a fancy edge and glued it on the bottom part of the card using the punched out shapes from the paper I glue them opposite the border to make a negative pattern then glued one of the shapes onto both top corners.

The card was finished by tying a ribbon just above the border.

Because sometimes the inside of the card is as important as the front of the card this is how I finished this one, I used the EK success border punch on a black paper liner then again on the white printed insert.

Golden Heart

Heart were cut with the Nestabilities cutting 2 of the scalloped and one of the plain heart shapes.

The plain heart was then stamped with a heart stamp made by Impression Obsession and heart embossed with ranger gold fine detail embossing powder and heat set then distressed the edges of the heart.

The larger scalloped heart was embossed using the Swiss dots cuttlebug folder.

The base card is a chocolate shade then a gold square slightly smaller cut and punched at the corners using a 3 in 1 punch

Layered is all up with foam pads and finished with a gold edged ribbon

Harrogate craft fair

I'm off out for the Day with my Mam, we are going to Harrogate Craft Fair and my wonderful brother is to be the chauffeur as I didn't fancy the long drive with a sore hand, mind you there is definitely an improvement this morning.

As I won't be around today I have some exciting free downloads planned for tonight including to Build a Blossom, Polka dot and a Flourish sheet.

Misty Meadow

I had a little play with a couple of sprig stamps and in doing so I have learned that I can also sponge edges with my left hand too, I'm getting to be quite ambidextrous.

the base card is a spring green colour then I layered a paper by HOTP on top folding opposite corners and adding a ribbon below it before sticking it onto the base card.

I took a separate piece of the green card and sponged the corners with a blue in then using the same ink I stamped the sprigs and the sentiment from PTI.

I distressed the edges and cut a couple of slits in the card to thread through the ribbon and tied it at the edge

Just a Dress

This is a little dress that I stamped a couple of weeks ago but never got round to making it up untill now, it is a DL size card layered with papers that have been punched down one edge the image is couled with the stamping up ink, a blossom, ribbon and pearls to finish

This is a close up of the dress stamped directly onto card then re-stamped onto parchment, cut out at attched on top of the image.

Cuttlebug Coffee & Cream Swirl

The stamped images are slear stamps by Impression Obsession called Smell the Coffee.

I used the Cuttlebug Swirl embossing folder behind the stamped images
