Lets have a Pool Party!

I'm very excited as Mr Brown (UPS delivery man) will be arriving today with lots of goodies *whisper* from the new annual catalogue due to be released in July.  Keep your eyes peeled on this blog and I'll share a few things with you, but shhhhhh don't tell ;-)

On to today's card which I totally cased from pinterest you can see that card here.  I was pinning loads of stuff and never using any of it so I've now decided to use it as an inspiration station.

I love this colour combination of soft suede and pool party, the ribbon used here is some that was available during sale a bration and the candy is from my own stash.

The flowers are from the secret garden stamp set, and have been stamped in pool party, I then inked their edges in soft suede with a sponge dauber.

The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny sentiments stamp set, to get the double effect with the modern label punch you just punch out two, cut the ends off one and stick them to the ends of the other one, I'm not sure that makes sense lol

I liked this colour combo so much I used it on some hostess gifts;

Here's a closer look

I've used the En Francias stamp again, it's just so good as a background stamp, I think that at the moment it is my favorite stamp

Summer Flutterbyes

Well what a day yesterday, sun blazing down, dare we believe that summer is now here?  Scotty too Hotty went off to school with hat and sunglasses and loaded down with suntan lotion, He also went with 6 bars of chocolate to share with his class as they are doing a project on chocolate, not sure how they will have fared in a hot classroom though lol.

Now I'll apologize now for today's project as it is product heavy which wasn't my intention I think I just got a bit carried away lol

 These are little hostess gifts that I've made

Here's a closer look, I've used the top note, enfrancias stamp, Inked up the vintage wall paper embossing folder to get that effect on the scalloped circle, I've also used the elegant and itty bitty butterfly punches and the blue flower is from the itty bitty punch pack.  Colours are pretty in pink, baja breeze and crumb cake

Papaya Collage Part Two

So heres the next lot of cards I promised from the tutorial which you can buy from Jenny Moor

This is the first of three cards, on this one Jenny had used the new in colour DSP because I didn't have any I instead used the primrose petals card and embossed it using the Vintage Wallpaper folder.

I love this card it's just so pretty lets have a look inside

The 'ghosting of the leaves is just by just stamping twice more without re-inking.

This is the last card from the selection I hope you like them I think they are very pretty and although I've stamped happy birthday on all of mine they could also be used as get well cards, anniversary or mothers days cards.

If you would like to order any of the items to make these cards please email me

Happy Crafting
