Some Bright Blossoms!

Good morning all (again!)

So have you seen the very exciting news?? If you haven't, click here and read all about the 25% off 25 stamps promotion! 

I have something to show you using one of the stamps that is on offer, and it is also the swap I created for my crafting reward day in Frodsham on Sunday.

I have used the Bright Blossoms stamp set and all this year's In Colours for this card. The embossed frame is created using the Designer Frames embossing folders and the ribbon is Crisp Cantaloupe Ruffle Stretch Ribbon. I finished with the sentiment from the hostess set Express Yourself and some Crystal Effects on the flowers.

Here are all 14 of my swaps, and I got some stunning swaps back! It was a brilliant day crafting with fellow Pinkies Demos and I learnt lots of things, got loads of ideas, and made 3 fantastic projects which I will show you this week.

Bye for now! :)

Bright Blossoms!

Good morning! 

How was your weekend? I had a very productive day yesterday mowing lawns, weeding, and planting some salad seeds, re-potting some seedlings and planting out our runner beans and some pea and dwarf bean seeds! Hopefully we shall reap plenty again this year!

After all that hard work in the garden, I was inspired to make a pretty summery, flowery card...

I stamped the Bright Blossoms set in Real Red, Old Olive and Tempting Turquoise. I used my trusty Stamp-a-Majig for perfect placement of these lovely stamps. It really does make life so much easier and I find it works brilliantly with any brand of wood or clear mount stamps!

The paper is from the fab Polka Dot Parade DSP pack and I finished with sentiments from the Tiny Tags set.

I'm at work today and then I have my parents round for dinner, so I won't get much crafting done today. Just as well I already have a card ready for you for tomorrow then!
Hope you have a lovely Monday!

Here for you...

Hey everyone!

Well my cough has well and truly taken hold :( So no gym for me today...yay! ;)

Here is a little card I made last night...

I have used a set I haven't used for a while called Bright Blossoms. It was one of the first sets I bought when I first joined a Stampers 6 club! 

I used my markers to colour the stamp before stamping, then scored a frame round it. The sentiment is from Petite Pairs, and I pierced a border round it.

Supplies

Cardstock - Whisper White, Gumball Green

Stamps - Bright Blossoms, Petite Pairs

Ink - Midnight Muse, Raspberry Ripple, Gumball Green

Tools - Simply Scored, Paper Piercing Essentials Pack

Good evening all!

I have card I made today, in between commission cards, to show you...

The stamp set is Best Dad Ever, and I used colours that I pull from the very manly Parkers Patterns papers. The 3 circles at the top are from Bright Blossoms, which I really must use again soon as I love that set!

I stamped the red and yellow ties twice and raised them up on the original image for some definition.

I took Keiran to see Huddersfield play Bolton tonight at the Reebok stadium, but he was so cold and tired we left at half time. Although we (Hudds) lost 1-0, it sounds like the best half of the game was the second half...typical eh? At least I didn't miss a Hudds goal lol!

Speaking of tired...I better head to bed myself!

Goodnight!
