Butterflies and Daisies

The sun has been shining and what a great way to spend an
 evening, crafting with 11 lovely ladies where we created two gorgeous cards and a little gift box.

Butterflies and Daisies were the inspiration for the evening.  I have used the Papillion Potpourri set which is a favourite among my class and teamed it with Gorgeous Grunge.  This card was one I made for the "Colour Throwdown" Challenge and so many liked it, it was definitely one we needed to make.  I created a mini box to match the card using the Scallop Tag Topper Punch.

 

Secondly we created a Daisy inspired card, using the gorgeous grunge and the Blossom Party Die.

 

 

The daisies look like they are just opening up to the sunshine and the Feel Goods sentiment worked perfectly to finish this card.

 

Below is a list of supplies used.

 

Supplies Used:

Stamps:  Gorgeous Grunge, Papillion Potpourri, Feel Goods, Secret Garden

Inks:  Soft Sky, Pistachio Pudding, So Saffron, Sahara Sand, Early Espresso, Old Olive

Paper:  Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Natural White, Baked Brown Sugar

Embellishments:  Natural Thread, Rhinestones, Gold Sequin Trim

Scrapbook Sunday

Another instalment of Scrapbook Sunday for all of you scrapbookers out there.  I really enjoy scrapbooking and it was one of the reasons I joined Stampin Up! as everything co-ordinates perfectly. 

I wanted to create a clean and simple layout ready for my first scrapbook class on Saturday.  Although the ladies coming are all cardmakers they are all new recruits to the world of scrapbooking and I wanted the layout to be one that everyone could have a go at.

 

So I decided on the Retro Fresh paper which I love, its fun and funky and can be used for a number of photographs and occasions.  

 

I have created a grid where 4 small photographs can be added.  I then added the Banner Blast bunting, but it was just missing something and that's where the amazing Washi Tape just tied everything together.

 

 

If you would like to create this layout below is a list of supplies.

 

Supplies Used:

Stamps:  Hello Lovely

Inks:  Costal Cabana, Baked Brown Sugar, So Saffron

Paper:  Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Costal Cabana, Baked Brown Sugar, So Saffron, Retro Fresh

Embellishments:  Washi Tape, Gold Sequin Trim

Accessories:  Banner Punch

Hoppy Easter Everyone

I hope the Easter Bunny has been to visit you all today.  I know he has been to our house so chocolate is definitely on the menu.  We have a great day planned spending time with our families  I am cooking up a storm in the kitchen with Roast Beef and all the trimmings, then we will be joining Tim's parents and sister for an Easter Egg Hunt in the garden.

Well on my Pinterest search for an Easter Bunny I came a across a post by Stickstickcut who had made a bag into a bunny.  So out came my Stampin Up! Kraft bags and I followed the instructions to create this delightful little bunny, complete with pink bunny ears and a little heart nose.

We are enjoying a busy Easter Sunday, how are you spending yours?
