Punched Flowers & Tag

This card & matching gift tag are made using the 5 Petal Flower punch. I forgot how Abi does hers (& couldn't be bothered to switch on the computer!) so I did something similar, I think they came out quite well.

I used:
Stamp Sets - Carte Postale (please note this is on the last chance list so get while you can!
Card - Brocade Blue & Whisper White
Ink - Brocade Blue
Brads - Brocade Blue from the Rich Regals collection
Ribbon - Brocade Blue 5/8" Grosgrain
Punches - 5 Petal Flower, Scallop Circle

Stampin' Up! products are fantastic if you want a totally corodinated look & I love this colour combination, look out for some more coming soon!

Happy Crafting!
Kathy.

Playful Earth Elements

I cased this card from one of FooFooY's cards, I loved her use of the flower stamp. I adapted her colour scheme & used Creamy Caramel as I've run out of Close to Cocoa.

I used:
Card - Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla & Creamy Caramel
Stamps - Playful Petals & Oval All
Stampin' Up! ink - Chocolate Chip
Stampin' Write markers - Creamy Caramel
Punches - Scallop Oval & Oval

I made the card for a work colleague's birthday who loves natural colours, hope she likes it!

Thanks for looking!

Glitter Floral

This card was made using some off-cuts of glitter paper I just couldn't throw away! I added some fabric flowers & coloured a peel-off greeting black to match.

I really should set myself a challenge of using all of my bits & pieces, but I'd never get any other cards done then! Instead I have a little clear out every now & then & pass on the paper & card scraps to my local school, for the children to use for collage etc.

Spacecat

You might have noticed how much I love the Crafters Companion Girls & Boys CD Rom, so here's another card! If any of you have any children who love to craft too, the images are simple enough for little fingers to have fun with.

This card was made using some printed acetate (sorry the photo doesn't show it up very well) which I adhered to an insert printed onto card. I then printed the Spacecat topper sheet & stuck the cat to the card & the flying saucer to the acetate. I wanted a neat finish so I stuck the base layer of the spaceship to the back of the acetate & the other layers to the front, that way no glue shows through.

Thanks for looking!

Fresh Flowers

I made this card for one of my 7 (yes seven!) Sister-in-Laws, I used my Stampin' Write Markers to colour the image, gave it a "huff" & stamped! It took a while to ink it but I love the result.

I used:
Stamp Set - Fresh Cuts from the mini catalogue
Cardstock - Very Vanilla, Rose Red, Always Artichoke
Stampin Write Markers - So Saffron, Rose Red, Regal Rose, Always Artichoke
Brads - Rose Red
Punches - Scallop Oval & Oval

The stamp is very detailed & I normally struggle, but Stampin' Up!'s quality is so excellent it was easy.

Hope she likes it!
Kathy.
