Stamp with us challenge #2 & CCT challenge #56

Phew, just in time .com with this one for the Stamp with Us challenge 2, this week was a birthday them so anything goes as long as it is birthday related and uses at least one SU product. The card was inspired by the one I made at Helen's (previous post). I am really taken by the playful petals set of stamps......funny as it was my least favourite when the mini catty came out and now it is probably one of my favourite sets. The card also qualifies for the challenge over at Cute Card Thursday as the theme this week is Flowers.


Card Ingredients:

Stamps: SU Playful Petals (mini catalogue)
Sentiment: SU Sincere Salutations
Cardstock: SU whisper white, Yoyo yellow, Almost Amethyst & Pretty in Pink
DP: SU Tea Party series (mini catalogue)
Ribbon: SU Regal Rose 5/8" Grosgrain
Tools: Oval & Scalloped oval punches (mini catalogue)
Accessories: SU Dazzling diamonds glitter
Ink: SU Basic black

Hope you like the card, thank you for looking, please feel free to leave a comment.

Crafting fun with a friend

On my new journey with Stampin Up I have already met lots of lovely people, one of which is Helen, a fellow demo fairly local to where I live. Last night i was invited to take part in one of the classes she runs, we had a great time crafting, here are the the items I made in the class:

Mini gift box

Helen took this idea from Splitcoast stampers, when I find the link I will post it here, it is such an adorable little box that you could make in any size. After we had all finished our boxes, Helen filled them with sweeties for us.......yummy.

Bambi Card

I had made this exact card before at Stampin up field training but could not resist having another go, the little bambi image is so adorable and the technique used to create the reflection is such a clever idea.

Playful Petals Thank you

This card was fun to do and i think it looks very effective, the playful petals set is perfect for decoupage, a very veratile set to have in your craft stash.

If you live in the Birmingham area near Castle Bromwich and are looking for a card class Helen would be pleased to hear from you. Why not hop over to her blog, you can find it here

Cute card Thursday challenge #51

My sister asked me to make a friend of hers a 60th birthday card so I thought I would combine it with the challenge over at Cute card Thursday which is a fab sketch by Katharina, I love it. I hope my submission counts however as I had to adapt it slightly.

The fab sketch:


My card:

Card Ingredients:

• DP - Basic Grey Scarlet's Letter
• Stamp - Magnolia Tilda with Rose
• Colouring Medium - Letraset Promarkers
• Sentiment - computer generated, 60 plaque is by East of India & is available from Deb at Stampeezee, (I don't think they are on the web site you will need to call the shop).
• Embellishments - Buttons - SU, Ribbon, SU, Eyelet SU, flowers & bling dots from my stash
• Tools, martha stewart doily punch, cricut, cuttlebug & nestie dies

The inside of my card:

Yes you can see a mini Tilda with Rose, I had a look on Marlene's blog and she has one of these cute stamps up as blog candy (ending tonight), they are only available from the NEC or other craft shows Magnolia attend. I had decided I was not going but I have been a bit stressed out lately and after going on and on about them after visiting Marlene's blog, my lovely husband took me along (we only live 15 minutes away) for a few hours to treat me to some of these mini stamps. Whilst I was there I met Rach from Papercrafts by Rach......it's so nice to meet these talented people and Rach is lovely.........we raided the minis together (I got about 10). It was a smaller show than usual but I still managed to spend a few pennies (mostly at the Magnolia stand).

I hope my sisters friend likes the card.

Friday sketchers challenge #42

What a great sketch to follow this week at Friday Sketchers, I love it. It is by the talented Mumur, I flipped it and missed out the swirls as my swirls just did not look right.

Here is the sketch:



Here is my take on the sketch:



Ingredients:

Cardstock: Pink card from the papermill shop
Paper: Basic Grey Urban Prairie

Sentiment: Magnolia Easter (squiggly) stamped with SU pink pixie ink (available from me)
Accessories: prima flowers and brad from stash & SU soft subtle buttons (available from me), pink ribbon from John Lewis.
Colouring medium - letraset promarkers

The circles were cut with my Cricut and the rectangles with nestie dies & cuttlebug, the punch used is Martha Stewart Doily lace. I used glossy accents for the eggs in the basket and diamond stickles to add a bit of bling
