Six Sided Sampler....it's been a while!

Good afternoon everyone!
First of all, I'd like to welcome my newest follower, Urska, to my blog. Urska is from Ljubljana in Slovenia and has a lovely, creative blog. I had the pleasure of visiting Ljubljana in 2007...it's beautiful there!

It's my secone week hosting this month at CAS-Colours and Sketches this week and I have designed the following sketch for you...



In my craft class last Friday, one of my ladies was looking through the catalogue and fell in love with the Six Sided Sampler, which reminded me that I haven't used it in quite some time! So as I had it out for her to look at, and my UPS man hasn't been with all my new catalogue goodies yet, I decided to use it for this card!

I stamped the hexagons in Pink Pirouette and So Saffron and punch using the Hexagon Punch, and used a Wisteria Wonder card base. The side panel is embossed with the Hexagon Embossing Folder and the flowers are from Pictogram Punches, punched with the matching Bitty Punches.

I finished with the sentiment from Six Sided Sampler and gem on one of the flowers. A nice feminine card I think!

Now I had a visit from the UPS man yesterday afternoon....oooooh I am so going to have some fun with all those new stamps! Watch this space! ;)

Enjoy playing with the sketch and I look forward to seeing all your creations! :)

A notebook for Dad

Good morning!
Today I wanted to show you a notebook I have decorated to add to my Father's Day style gifts at the next craft fair I am doing...

I used the fabby Six Sided Sampler and matching punch, and stamped them in various shades of brown (not grey! ;) )

I cut out the word 'notes' using the Little Letters Thinlits...I lined them up on the card and used the Magnetic Bigshot Platform to keep them in place. 

Keiran is doing a sponsored 2 mile run today for a local charity...I reckon he'll manage it no problem!

Have a lovely Friday!

A Pretty Six Sided Sampler

Hello!

Today I have a pretty little card that I am entering into 2 challenges...

Create With Connie and Mary - #299

Colour Throwdown - #288

So here is my card

I have used a somewhat neglected stamp set, Six Sided Sampler, but I don't think I have used it in such a girly way before! 

I added a flower using the Boho Blossoms Punch and I inked each layer with Gumball Green and Melon Mambo before adding a Candy Dot. The leaves are from the Bird Builder punch and I also inked those. The sentiment is from the hostess set Banner Greetings.

I really like the way this card turned out...funny how one stamp set can look so different each time you use it!

Enjoy your Easter Monday...extra day off!

For my friend!

Hello everyone!

It's Thursday so that means it's time for a new challenge at CAS - Colours and Sketches. This week it's a sketch challenge...

Come and see what I did...

This card is for my longest known friend, Sarah. We have been friends since we were four and although we don't see each other more than about 6 times a year, we're still really good friends! I used a muted colour combo, inspired by the challenge at Dynamic Duos this week. 

I used a Sahara Sand card base, Blushing Bride Designer Series Paper and matching inks on various stamp sets, including Petite Petals and Label Love. I stitched the DSP for added interest.

Have a lovely day, whatever you're doing!

Gorgeous Grunge, Six Sided Birthday

Good morning!

We have a new colour challenge at CAS - Colours and Sketches this week...

This is a very bright and cheerful colour combo, but as I used similar colours last week, I wanted to do something quite different. So I just took a Whisper White card blank and started stamping...

I stamped the background Crushed Curry using a Stampin' Block, then stamped over with Gorgeous Grunge in Elegant Eggplant and Perfect Plum.

The sentiment is made using Six Sided Sampler and Teeny Tiny Sentiments. The purple twine is from my stash.

Yesterday I told you about the 'Lent task' for the day, which was to apologise for something you have done wrong. Well it's sometimes hard to admit to being wrong, but I did. I apologised for being too impatient with Keiran more than I should be. Now to act on it!

Today's task is to Be More Giving - Put loose change into a jar and give it to charity at the end of Lent. Every little helps :)

Six Sided Notebook!

Good morning!

I have my DT project for our new challenge at CAS - Colours and Sketches for you today...

I am starting to make more non card items for my stall as I want to offer a bit more to my customers, so this is an altered notebook. I've used Polka Dot Parade DSP, some Wild Wasabi DSP from the Subtles paper stack, and the Six Sided Sampler Bundle to create this slightly more male style notebook.

Here are the requirements of our challenge for this week...

As it is the 5th week of the month we have a double challenge of a colour and sketch!

So come along and give it a go...we'd love to see what you come up with!

A Manly Thank You

Good morning.

Well, the rain yesterday was very welcome! I actually had a night off watering the garden!

Here is another Thank You card, but this time it has a rather male feel to it.

I have used the Six Sided Sampler stamps and matching punch for my card, and somewhat manly colours, without being dowdy.

Stamps - Six Sided Sampler, Express Yourself

Ink - Chocolate Chip, Summer Starfruit
