Golden Tree

Made using the Nestabilities Labels dies I love the way these nest together and also allow an embossed edge, once I've cut the shape I leave it in the die and just run around the edge with an embossing tool, much easier than searching for the tan mat.
the paper is a K&Co which I've had in my stash forever I used stickles diamond to bling the paper up and a Martha Stewart Border punch on the bottom of the paper.
The stamp I used is from the Father Knows Best stamp set from Papertrey Ink, heat embossed this with gold powder.

Flippin' Teenagers - Pop Punk

The perfect card for the modern teenage girl.
very Avril Lavigne and a skater girl look, from her striped socks to her fur hooded coat.
I used a Basic Grey scrapbook Paper to compliment the colours and a few velvet flowers.

The back of this one is fabulous the hood really pops out,

I also think that this one looks like most modern teenage girls.

An Elegant Handbag Card

An elegant handbag card, I started with a pink base card a few score lines later I had a basic handbag shape. I then cut out the largest of the QuicKutz Cookie cutter Nesting Label and adhered it to the front of the card.
I used the Flourish Stamp from the Silent Night set by Papertrey Ink I used it with pink ink onto the white flap of the handbag and with white embossing powder onto the pink base card.
I used one of those special buttons I found in the knitting shop slotted a ribbon through the back of it then tied a bow at the back.
If I get enough interest in the handbag I will do a tutorial.


Attention to detail the flowers were white, I painted on the colour using the same pink ink that I had used to stamp the flourish with.
