For Big Granddad

Hello!

How are you? I hope the change in weather hasn't put a dampener on the summer for you...more crafty style weather...yay!

So I have a card here that I made for a commission order.

The image is from Lili Of The Valley, and I've coloured it with Promarkers. The papers are from Stampin' Up!

More Poppies

Hello!

Here is another card using the gorgeous Pleasant Poppies stamp. For a stamp I wasn't too sure about at first, I am really loving it now!

This time I coloured them in Cherry Cobbler and Always Artichoke and used some of the Always Artichoke striped paper from the Regals DSP pack.

The ribbon is the lush Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding and the sentiment was computer generated.

Stamp - Pleasant Poppies

Fluttering By

Good evening!

I know I'm a wee bit late, but I'm enjoying the crafting in the newly organised room, so much so I'm forgetting to blog lol!

I have a card here which I the last of a large Mother's Day order. The customer received them on Tuesday and she was thrilled with  all 6 of them !

I used Summer Silhouettes and Papillon Pot Pourri for this card, and my new best friend, my Stamp-a-majig! I used really soft colours...for this one. There is only one photo of it, and I only have that because I took a pic on my phone to send to my customer, then forgot to take 'proper' photos of it!

Supplies

Cardstock - Whisper White

Stamps - Summer Silhouettes, Papillon Pot Pourri

Ink (markers) - Pool Party, Island Indigo, Old Olive

Edgelits - Adorning Accents

Morning!

Well I had quite a busy day yesterday, as predicted, but very productive! Keiran and I made some flapjacks and a fat free, sugar free banana and sultana loaf...

mmmmmmm! I've made them for my guests at my Stampin' Up! workshop on Sunday...they keep well and really improve with keeping :)

Ok, so here is a card I also made, for an order...

I have (again!) used the fabulous Secret Garden Bundle and my Stampin' Write! Markers. 

I decided to stick with just line images rather than colouring them this time. I used varying shades of pink, and stamped the leaves in 2 different shades of green.

Supplies

Cardstock - Whisper White

Stamps - Secret Garden

Dies - Secret Garden Framelits

Ink (markers) - Pretty in Pink, Pink Pirouette, Regal Rose, Primrose Petals, Certainly Celery, Pear Pizzazz

For Grandma

Good morning!
Wow, the sun is shining here! Looks like it's going to be a lovely day...and I have lots of indoor jobs to do...typical!

Anyway, here is a card for an order for Mother's Day. Sadly, the customer lost both her parents last year and she wants remembrance cards to place in the crematorium so this one is from  her children to her Mum.

I have used Flowering Flourishes stamped with Old Olive, Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink, Sahara Sand and Primrose Petals.

I used the Lacy Brocade Embossing folder and some paper from the Paisley Petals DSP pack.

The sentiment is computer generated in Word and I finished with some tiny gems from a nail art set and some pearls.

Hey there!

How are you? 

I have the last card from yesterday's sesh at Jen's...I love crafting there as I seem to get so much done!

I have used a lovely hostess set which is sadly retired now, but I still love using it. I used my Stamp-a-Majig to make sure the stems and flowers were aligned properly.

I cut the image panel out using my Labels Collection Framelits, and then embossed the edge with the smaller die. The sentiment is computer generated.

Products Used

Cardstock - Whisper White, Perfect Plum

Stamps - Retired Hostess set

Inks (Markers) - Perfect Plum, Wild Wasabi, Baja Breeze

Framelits - Labels Collection
