Poinsettia Apeture

I hope my photos show my design here, I used the Scallop Circle punch to cut an apeture then added the poinsettia to the inside.

I used:
Stamp set - Season of Joy
Cardstock - Very Vanilla, Handsome Hunter, Bravo Burgundy
Ink - Bravo Burgundy, Handsome Hunter
1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon - Very Vanilla
Punches - Scallop Circle, 1-3/8" Circle

If I'd had some gold brads I'd probably have have added those to the centre of the flower.

Thanks for looking,
Kathy

Soft Summer Notebook

I used a Pukka Pad A6 Project notebook as it had a plastic cover front & back so I can protect the decoration. It comes with some coloured removable dividers but I've made some clear ones from acetate & my cropadile punch so everything matches. :) A lovely present that doesn't cost the earth at about £2.

I used:
Stamp Set - Soft Summer
Cardstock = Elegant Eggplant, Very Vanilla
Ink - Elegant Eggplant, Lavender Lace, Always Artichoke
1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon - Very Vanilla, Elegant Eggplant
Punches - Scallop Edge, 1/16" Circle, Scallop Oval & Oval
Cropodile
Notebook
Acetate

How about making a few as Christmas gifts? Sorry I said the "C" word, but I've seen a shop with Christmas cards for sale already!! I thought September last year was early enough. I suppose next year they'll come out after Easter!

Happy Crafting!
Kathy.

Soft Summer DSP Frame

The design of this card came from the offcut of Stampin' Up! Tea & Crumpets DSP I put through my diecutting machine. I was making some frames for a workshop & couldn't bear to throw away the leftovers! The Live Your Dream stamp set matches the papers but as I don't have that set I used the Fresh Cuts set & matched the colours instead.

I used:
Designer Series Paper - Tea & Crumpets
Cardstock - Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, So Saffron
Ink - Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, So Saffron, Always Artichoke
Punches - Scallop Oval & Oval

As I have several more frames to diecut, I think I'm going to make several of these!

Happy Crafting,
Kathy.

Driving By #2

This card is very similar to Driving By #1 as I made the two at the same time! I'm busy making up a portfolio of cards & as I was giving away number one I decided to make two.

I used:
Stampin' Up! stamp sets - Loads of Love, Loads of Love Accessories
Cardstock - Whisper White, Real Red, Glorious Green
Ink - Basic Grey
Stampin' Write Markers - Bold Brights
1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon - Real Red
Punches - Tag & Small Tag

Thanks for looking!

Driving By #1

I made this card for my Brother-in Laws birthday which is next week, I've had loads of birthdays this week so it's kept me busy (and happy) crafting!

I used:
Stamp sets - Loads of Love, Loads of Love Accessories
Cardstock - Whisper White, Brilliant Blue, Tempting Turquiose
Ink - Basic Grey
Stampin' Write Markers - Bold Brights
1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon - Whisper White coloured using Tempting Turquoise marker (I haven't bought that colour (yet!)
Punches - Tag & Small Tag

Though I like the way it turned out, I wished I'd had the Tailgating roller for the background, yet another thing to add to my list!

Thanks for looking,
Kathy.
