Thank You (1)

Garden

Inspiration

Well having been to Jane's team meeting on Saturday morning I came back full of insperation and ideas - I arrived home to be greeting by a sick child with a stomach bug so as you can guess much of my weekend has been spent taking care of a 6 year old with D&V... Have managed to get a few ideas on card I will add the pictures on for you but will have to add the receipe later.

Butterfly



I seem to have been on a bit of a roll this evening. My last card is made using whisper white layed with lavendar lace which I have inked using the whimsy jumbo roller and chocolate chip ink. The opposite side is some patterned 6x6 paper I had already had. The centre is chocolate chip card layered with whisper white and stamped using the one of a kind stampset and chocolate chip ink, I have then pierced around this with using the mat pack and paper piercing tool. I have stamped 2 butterflies from the Garden Whimsey stampset cut out out and mounted. For added bling I have glued on a few jewels.

It is now time for bed - night night all...................

Thanks for Sharing



I have made this little notelet from Whisper White card stock. I have layed using Chocolate Chip, Garden Green and Old Olive card. The hedgehog stamp is from the fun and fast notes stampset which I have inked with whisper marker pens. To add finishing touches I have used the scalloped edge punch, my mat pack and paper piercing tool to add finishing touches and of course the SNAIL adhesive. Such a quick and simple card to make ideal for a forgotten occasion!!!!

Box of Kindness


For my first attempt with my new stampin' up! goodies I decided to made a box using the template of the Stampin' Up Demonstrators website. It was a bit of a fiddle to get the bottom box snug enough that it didn't just fall out or hidden completely under the top.

The bottom of the box is made using whisper white card stock.
The top of the box is made using Garden Green from the Earth Elements card stock. I have stamped around the sides of the box using a stamp from the one of a kind stamp set. I have used Chocolate Chip Ink for this and the whimsey wheel jumbo roller on the top of the box. Embellishments have been made using Garden Green, old olive and whisper white card stock. Again I have used the one of a kind stampset and Chocolate Chip Ink. The ribbon around the box is a dark green which I already had.

Although a bit of a time consuming I hope you agree its something a little different to a card, and I do like to be different!!!!
