Hopeful Thoughts

The hopeful thoughts stamp set is a bit of a sympathy/thinking of you, stamp set, but I thought the flourish from it would be nice on a birthday or mothers day card.  With that in mind here's the card;

I love that colour combination of crumb cake and soft sky.
Here's what I used;
Hopeful Thoughts Stamp set
Framed Tulips embossing folder
Teeny Tiny sentiments stamp set
Crumb cake card and ink
Soft sky card and ink
Very Vanilla Card
Pearls
Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack
Large Oval punch
Decorative label punch

Start with a c6 card base (A5 folded in half) in crumb cake

Cut two pieces of soft sky card measuring 51/4 x 4"

Stick one of these to the inside of your base card

Emboss the other with the framed tulips embossing folder and add this to the front of your base card

Cut a piece of crumb cake measuring 41/4" x 3", glue this to the front of your base card

Cut a piece of very vanilla card measuring 4" x 23/4" on this stamp the flourish from the hopeful thoughts stamp set in crumb cake.  Using the Itty Bitty punch pack, punch out some flowers in soft sky and add these to your flourish.

Place pearls into the flower centers

Glue this to the front of your base card and add a sentiment of your choice.

Lovely.

A Vintage Feel

Well the weather has taken a change here in Yorkshire, still warm but very cloudy.  Hope it's a bit nicer where you are.

Todays card has a very vintage feel to it, it uses crumb cake and very vanilla with a sprinkling of Pretty in Pink and Baja Breeze

Now this is a 6 x 6 card, I must admit this is my favorite size as you will have seen,  So that makes the matted layer of very vanilla 5 3/4 Square.  This is slightly too large for the En Francias stamp that I've used as the back ground.  So to line it all up I used the stampmajig to line it up.  Now this is a new tool to me in the past I've just lined it up by eye, but since I've brought it I don't know how I ever got on without it. lol

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
