Blooming with kindness

I'm a big fan of Making Cards magazine, mostly because they give you lots of lovely free craft papers!  In February's edition there were also 3 stampin up cards to make designed by Deborah O'Donahue, I made two of them and this is the first.

It uses the Blooming with kindness stamp set, it's such a simple little card yet very effective and so easy to make, you could very quickly make a few of these for those unexpected birthdays.

The butterflies are punched out using the Bitty Butterfly punch in soft sky and  Soft Suede. I've also embossed the whisper white card with the honeycomb embossing folder.

Just a quick one today dear readers, hope you enjoy it

Happy Crafting

With that last thought in mind hears the get well card that I made him

It's made using soft sky and whisper white card staock, a lovely 6 x 6 card

The tree is from, the Lovely As A Tree stamp set and coloured using garden green and soft suede stampin write makers.

The sentiment is cut out using the oval framelets and is from the hopeful thoughts stamp set.

An extra post

I know I don't normally blog on a Monday but I've been extra productive so have lots of projects to share with you. 

The card I'm going to share with you today is a wedding card I've made for a work friend who is tying the knot in August

I've chosen the colours Melon Mambo and Old Olive because, on her invitations she had some Melon Mambo Ribbon and flower, on asking her what her wedding colours where she explained she was having a lot of green for the table decorations.

Heres the sentiment, I've double the decorate label by just cutting it in half and adding it to the ends like I did with the modern label I've shown you before

The dress and sentiment are both from the love and laughter stamp set, and I've used the distressed dots for the background, unfortunately  this is retiring :-( and so is the vintage wallpaper embossing folder that I've used to emboss the oval framelet.

Here's the products I used;

New beginings

Scotty too hotty has been a little sad this week as his friend is changing schools after half term, so to try and combat the blues we made him a card together

Now unfortunately the image isn't stampin up as we wanted to display the new uniform that Scott's friend would be wearing. This image  from LOTV was ideal for that purpose.  It's a 7x7 card and we decided to stick with two colours midnight muse and daffodil delight.  I've created the effect on the 'friend' sentiment just by cutting the decorative label in half and adding it to either end of the sentiment, which is from a now retired set, can you believe I didn't have a 'good luck' stamp!!.  We hope he likes it.
