Good morning!

 To say I was working this weekend, I still managed to get a surprising amount of crafting done! So here is one of the cards I made...

I have used to flowers from Marry Me and stamped them 3 times in Certainly Celery, Blushing Bride and Pretty In Pink. The embossing folder is Fancy Fan and the design paper is from the Twitterpated set...gorgeous! I finished with my sentiment from Petite Pairs, some Daffodil Delight Taffeta Ribbon and a couple of pearls.

Less Is More - Sketch

Good Morning!

I have to do this super quick this morning as I have to be in work at 9am! We're in our new shop now and we open half an hour earlier!

So this week at Less Is More, it's time for a sketch. So here is my card...

For this very simple card I stamped my flower from Love and Sympathy in certainly Celery and Blushing Bride (one of the new colours!) The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments and is stamped in Old Olive and punched out with Word Window, then mounted onto Elegant Label. I paper pierced the edges of the panel with the Paper Piercing Essentials Pack, and finished with the ribbon which I trimmed to the white thread, leaving it stick out for a bit of interest. 

Here is the sketch...

Cardstock - Crumb Cake

Stamps - Love & Sympathy, Teeny Tiny Sentiments

Cakes and a card!

Morning!

Well I had quite a busy day yesterday, as predicted, but very productive! Keiran and I made some flapjacks and a fat free, sugar free banana and sultana loaf...

mmmmmmm! I've made them for my guests at my Stampin' Up! workshop on Sunday...they keep well and really improve with keeping :)

Ok, so here is a card I also made, for an order...

I have (again!) used the fabulous Secret Garden Bundle and my Stampin' Write! Markers. 

I decided to stick with just line images rather than colouring them this time. I used varying shades of pink, and stamped the leaves in 2 different shades of green.

Supplies

Cardstock - Whisper White

Stamps - Secret Garden

Dies - Secret Garden Framelits

Ink (markers) - Pretty in Pink, Pink Pirouette, Regal Rose, Primrose Petals, Certainly Celery, Pear Pizzazz

Remembering Mum #1

Good evening!

I have had a lovely afternoon crafting with Jen, and here is one of the cards I have made. The theme was an idea requested by a friend of mine as she struggles to find cards to place on her parent's graves at special times of the year. So this one is for her Mum for Mother's Day...

I coloured the Flowering Flourishes stamp with my Stampin' Write Markers before stamping, giving a very subtle effect, which is just what I was looking for with this card. I mounted the panel onto Wisteria Wonder card. The sentiment is computer generated.

I finished with a few of the tiny butterflies from Embosslits Beautiful Wings.

Supplies used on this card

Cardstock - Whisper White

Inks (Markers) - Certainly Celery, Perfect Plum, Wisteria Wonder

Stamps - Flowering Flourishes

Ribbon - Ruffled Edge Wisteria Wonder

A Breath of Spring!

Good afternoon!

Sorry I've been a little absent...I just have been busy and a little under the weather again. But I feel much better now, so here is a little card I have just made to show you using some new stash!

I am very excited because the new Spring/Summer catalogue is almost out and nothing makes a crafter feel more excited than new goodies!

So here is the card...

I have used the new Honeycomb embossing folder, from the Spring/Summer catalogue, and the tiny flower stamp is part of a Sale-A-Bration set, free when you spend £45!! How awesome is that?! The larger flower across the centre of the card is from the Ornament Keepsakes stamp set from the Christmas catalogue...it's your last chance to get your hands on this gorgeous set as the catalogue finishes at the end of January.

A closer look...

The sentiment is part of a retired hostess set and I cut it out using Word Window.

Supplies used;

Cardstock - Whisper White, Certainly Celery, So Saffron

Markers - So Saffron, Certainly Celery

Stamps - Madison Avenue (SAB), Happiest Birthday Wishes, Ornament Keepsakes.

Embossing Folder - Honeycomb
