This year's Teacher gifts using Watercolor Wings.

Hi everyone.

I back again this evening to share with you the teacher gifts Keiran and I made before the school holidays....

I picked up these jars from Home Bargains and filled each one with scented candles. 

We then decorated the lids with DSP and Washi Tape, then added some butterflies from Watercolor Wings, die cut with the matching Framelits. The little on top was made using the Label Bracket Punch and popped up on Dimensionals.

I printed off this lovely sentiment then die cut it using one of the Chalk Talk Framelits and attached it using Stitched Satin Ribbon and Linen Thread. 

They went down a treat and Keiran and I really enjoyed making them! 

Have a lovely Sunday everyone!

I Love Lace!!

Hello!

It's Thursday which means it's time for a new challenge at CAS-Colours and Sketches, and we have a fabby colour combo this week, given to us by Louise...

I do love this colour combo, but I haven't used it for a while so I initially struggled with it. Then I remembered my new background stamp...

This stunning stamp is I Love Lace and I stamped it in Basic Black...doesn't it look full of texture?? 

I then wrapped the Hello Honey Stitched Satin ribbon around my stamped panel and added a bow. The sentiment is from Lots of Thanks and I punched it using the Label Bracket punch. To create the matting, I punch two shapes from black card, cut each in half through the points, then placed one piece at each edge...isn't it effective? I finished with a little pearl.

This is what I used...

Pinkie Blog Hop for the New Annual Catalogue 2014/15

Thank you for joining us on another Pinkies Blog Hop! We're showcasing lots of gorgeous projects using products from the new Stampin' Up!® Annual Catalogue. Simply use the buttons at the end of each post to keep hopping.

Did you enjoy seeing Eveline's project? Isn't it lovely?

I have decided to use some gorgeous new ribbon and flowers to make something a little different for you!

I cut the heart shapes using the Hearts Collection Framelits and embossed the middle one with Beautiful Baroque Embossing Folder. I then sponged it using Mossy Meadow ink. The outer is wrapped with the stunning new Stitched Satin Ribbon in Hello Honey.

I have used the gorgeous new Flower Frenzy Bigz die and the Beautiful Bunch stamp and Fun Flower Punch combo. 

The main flower was stamped in Hello Honey, onto Hello Honey cardstock, the leaves are Mossy Meadow and the purple elements are Blackberry Bliss. All these are some of our brand new In Colours. Aren't they gorgeous?

I really enjoyed making this project...it's a while since I did a home decor item...may have to have a play in lots of other colours! :)

I hope you're enjoying the blog hop, and to continue, please click on the badge below, to take you to Sandie's blog, where you will see her beautiful project!

Happiest Birthday Wishes!

Helloooo!

How has your Wednesday been? I decided, in my infinite wisdom, that it would be a great idea to move my craft room around! Ooops! Maybe not the best idea ever lol! Anyhow...I did it!

Halfway through...thought I was never going to get through this lot!

But I did, and this was how I thought I wanted it...

...until I sat down to make a card! Didn't like my laptop behind me, so this is how it is now...

I have made a card this evening, and it felt right, so I might leave it like this I think, and just invest in a new, slightly slimmer table for the left. But this is great for now, and hasn't cost anything!

Anyway, now for the card I managed to make after all the moving!

I have used Crumb Cake ink for all the stamping, and finished with a piece of Midnight Muse Stitched Satin  ribbon and a Mini Brad.

The sentiment is Happiest Birthday Wishes Hostess set and the tags are from the Hearts a Flutter set. 

Supplies

Cardstock - Whisper White

Stamps - Happiest Birthday Wishes (Hostess), Hearts a Flutter

Ink - Crumb Cake

Ribbon - Midnight Muse Stitched Satin
