More Cottage Garden

I know I know but I just had to do another card using cottage Garden.  This time I embossed it and then sponged colour onto the flowers.  Quick and simple.

Thanks

Star Shaker Card

I am really loving stars at the moment.  Shaker cards are really easy to make as well.  Dimensions and window sheets and whatever shape takes your fancy.

I did get out the new Confetti Stars punch.  I punched out the stars using Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper and saved the stars for the shaker part of the card.  I also added a few Frosted Sequins in with the stars.

I did have to rescue the stars off the floor as my cat, Bandit, plonked himself down on top of them and they went flying everywhere.  I managed to retrieve most of them but Bandit did walk around with a star or two stuck to him for a while.

I used the sketch from Fab Friday 49 as I needed some inspiration.  A sketch always helps when my mojo is missing.

Christmas Ornament and Boxes

I love Christmas.  Since the weather was so awful yesterday - we had over a 100mm of rain - I played with the star framelits to see if I could come up with a Christmas ornament like the one we had a couple of years ago.  I am going to try it out in a couple of different colours as well.

I also ended up making a little box to match it as well as a star box.  I cased the box of Sam Donald as she just makes the most gorgeous little boxes.  The star box I cased from Judy May as her instructions were easy to follow.  Thank you both.

Z Fold Card

I managed to cut the cardstock in such a way so that I could get two cards from one piece of A4 cardstock.

Cottage Garden Again

I told you how much I love this stamp.  This time I stamped the image and then coloured it in.  I limited myself to just three colours.  I punched out squares and managed to get 9 squares from the one stamped and coloured image which meant I could make 3 cards.  I also decorated the front and back of the envelopes.

Thanks for visiting.

Colourful Cottage Garden

Cottage Garden was my latest stamp purchase.  I just love it but I think that is because I love love love colouring in and Stampin' Up's new Blendability pens are fabulous.  I have seen this stamp coloured in on the internet but I didn't copy anyone's design just sat down and blended away. 

I had small strip left over after I mounted it onto a note card which I then used on the front of my envelope. Everyone decorates their envelopes as well don't they?

Maybe a card for a Wedding or Anniversary

I have had the Fancy Foil Designer Vellum sitting in my cupboard and I just didn't know what to do with it.  I kept trying it but it just didn't look good on any card.  I was browsing through the catalogue looking for a card to CASE and found one on page 158.  Out came the vellum and 20 minutes later my card was done.

This card would be perfect for a wedding card or a golden anniversary.

As I was cleaning up I had a couple of pieces of vellum left over and couldn't bear to throw it out as it is just so pretty.  I quickly whipped up a little box/bag to go with the card.
