Party Cards

I had a great party on Monday evening with 12 lovely ladies and we created a card using the new hardwood background and flower shop stamp set.

 

This stamp is becoming a new favourite of mine and I've been using it on a number of projects, it also became a favourite for some of the ladies and they too have added it to their craft stash.

 

I always like to add a blinged up version of the card to show how a few more products can change the look.

Stamps:  Hardwood, Flower Shop, Petite Petals, Teeny Tiny Sentiments

Class Card

Here are the two cards we made at my recent class, its growing in numbers and I had two new ladies attend this month, which is great!

We used a sponging effect on the first card to create a grungy look, then added some random prints using the Tape it stamp set.   

I wanted to use a range of patterns on the second card and show how they can work together.  I've already featured this card in my flower shop post so all the supplies can be found further down, take a look xx.

Hope you like them.

Scrapbook Sunday

Sorry should say Scrapbook Monday as I'm a day late!  We were at a wedding yesterday so I didn't get round to doing the post before going, but wont worry it's her now x

I've used the Flower Shop stamps again which I've teamed these up with some of the Garden Gingham papers.  I was originally going to keep the background white but it looked like the page was missing something. I needed something quite big behind the photograph so I tried my Honeycomb embossing folder as a stamp.  I smoothed the ink pad (So Saffron) over it and then pressed it firmly onto the cardstock I then stippled some of the ink over it with a stencilling brush I'm really pleased with the finished result.

Supplies Used:
Ink:  So Saffron, Melon Mambo, Pacific Point, Pear Pizzazz
Stamps: Flower Shop
Paper: Whisper White, Gingham Garden
Embellishments:   Gingham Garden Washi Tape, Doilies,
Accessories: Honeycomb Embossing Folder

Hope you like it
