May Blog Hop - Decorative Score Lines

I used a square 6" x 6" tent folded card and using the Scor-Pal I placed the top corner of the card into the 4" score line I then scored diagonally to the opposite corner and then scored at every inch score line until I had completed half of the card in a triangle shape, I then repeated the scoring from the other top corner.

I used the Wedding Day and the Boxes, Bags and Tags Stamp sets by Papertrey Ink to stamp the card using the Sweet Blush ink. I cut a scalloped circle from the Sweet Blush card stock and A plain circle from the Basic White card stock and stamped these using the above stamp sets.

I finished the card by adding some pale pink pearls and a white net ribbon.

Loving to Stamp

Do you know the time when you are on your own everything is peaceful and no-one around to disturb you? well this is what I love to do with my spare quiet time, create a card for no-one in particular just with ink and stamps building up an image untill I get the look I want.
This stamp set is perfect for that, it is Spiral Bouquet by PTI I love the cleaness of the stamps in this set.

Meet Mabel - Prisma Colouring

A Fun Card

I saw this fun stamp by Art Impressions & thought it would be fun to colour it in bright zingy colours, so, out came the Prisma Pencils and the baby oil to blend the pencil lines.

I loved making this and thinking up some captions to add to it. my family all thought she looked like Sue Pollard (Peggy from Hi de Hi) but for some reason I named her Mabel lol!

Not Quite Floral Punch Craft

Mothers birthday Card

I loved making this card, my loving husband punched out all of the shapes for me from a Pear Punch each petal of the roses are made from 1 punched out pear I then used my bone folder to shape the individual petals then carefully glued them together to form the roses.

I then took other smaller full flower punched shaped and used a ball tool to cup chape them and added tiny pearls to the centre of each flower, the stalks were made by twisting green strips of paper into stalk shapes then glueing the smaller flowers on top the leaves were cut out free hand.

I used the oval nestabilities the scalloped in the same deep red as the rose and the plain oval in the same light cream as the base card.

It's hard to believe

that the shapes from
this pear punch was

made into these

roses
