Punch Bunch from Sale-a-bration!

Hi everyone, today I thought I would move away just a little from the Swee Summer set, but still staying with Sale-a-bration. How lucky are we that we can earn free top quality stamps, just for spending as little as $100. How many other places can you purchase goods you were going to get anyway and get such a fabulous bonus. They are very special because they are not for sale - ever. Wow! I feel so lucky to have been able to earn my stamp sets. Over the last couple of days I have shown you the Sweet Summer ser, today I am using the owl from the Punch Bunch set as well as the cute in flight butterfly from the Sale-a-bration set So Happy For you. Using Crumb Cake  ink I stamped the butterfly randomly over the Very Vanilla base card. I decided then to use the Scallop Border Trim Punch and punch both edges on the Crum Cake and the Pacific Point Cardstock. They were then layered with a piece of Blueberry Crisp Designer Paper. I love this paper, it has really taken a hold on me and I am tempted to use it all the time! Three owls were stamped on Very Vanilla  in Melon Mambo, and two in Pacific Point, then punched out using the XL 2 Step Owl punch, I attached these to the card front using Dimensionals. The colours are lovely, and I think the owls look super cute sitting on the Blueberry Crisp, dont you? Well thats if for today, come back tomorrow and see what I have to share for you then. Bye for now.

Self Challenge with Daffodil Delight and Friends 24/7

Here I am back again! I have had my card made since Thursday last week but have not had time to get in here to post it! Sounds a bit sad doesnt it? Last Friday I had a class and the ladies were making flowers of all kinds. It was a marathon session but they all went home very very happy with what the created. On Saturday I went to a class held by a fellow Deomo and it was my turn to be the student and I loved it. We all had a lot of fun but I was very very tired by the time I got home. Sunday I went to the local farmer markets here on the coast and had a thoroughly enjoyable time. In between all this I have been designing my daughter'w wedding invitations and all the other bits that go along with it. I would love to share those with you, but not just yet, that will be another day in th not too distant future.

Friends Never Fade

This card uses the beautiful sets Friends Never Fade, Very Vintage Jumbo Wheel and Perfect Punches which was used for the sentiment. It also uses the leaves from the 2 Step XL Bird Punch and the Scallop Trim Punch. It would have not been complete without the Pretty in Pink cardstock panel embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder in the Big Shot. The base cardstock used was Very Vanilla, just to soften the card. I felt that to use Whisper White would have made the card too stark. The flowers from the Friends Never Fade set were stamed using Pretty in Pink Classic Stampin Ink Pad, then cut out using the the paper snips leaving a small showing of the Very Vanilla around the edges. The Scallop Trim Edge was punched twice once on Very Vanilla and the other on Pretty in Pink. The Background was stamped using the Very Vintage Jumbo Wheel and Pretty in Pink ink. The leave are punched in Old Olive using the 2 Step XL Bird Punch. The sentiment was stamped using Soft Suede Ink then punched out using the Wide Oval Punch then attached to the card using dimensionals. The sentiment can be changed to suit any occasion
