Six Sided Notebook!

Good morning!

I have my DT project for our new challenge at CAS - Colours and Sketches for you today...

I am starting to make more non card items for my stall as I want to offer a bit more to my customers, so this is an altered notebook. I've used Polka Dot Parade DSP, some Wild Wasabi DSP from the Subtles paper stack, and the Six Sided Sampler Bundle to create this slightly more male style notebook.

Here are the requirements of our challenge for this week...

As it is the 5th week of the month we have a double challenge of a colour and sketch!

So come along and give it a go...we'd love to see what you come up with!

A Manly Thank You

Good morning.

Well, the rain yesterday was very welcome! I actually had a night off watering the garden!

Here is another Thank You card, but this time it has a rather male feel to it.

I have used the Six Sided Sampler stamps and matching punch for my card, and somewhat manly colours, without being dowdy.

Supplies

Cardstock - Crumb Cake

Stamps - Six Sided Sampler, Express Yourself

Ink - Chocolate Chip, Summer Starfruit

Punch - Hexagon

Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely Wednesday! :)

Sti[ppled Blossoms for the first time!

Good morning all!

How has your week been? Looking forward to a nice sunny weekend? I will be working, but we've had a wonderful week of sunny afternoons after work, particularly yesterday! My friend Emma and Keiran's second cousin Sophie came round for a bbq and water fight! I got soaked and thrown in the pool by Emma's other half Jamie! Much fun!

Anyway, the reason you're here is for my cards right? So here is a card I made the other night for my friend in Holland who sadly lost her Dad in the last week.

I used my lovely new Stippled Blossoms stamps and my Stamp-a-majig to make sure everything lined up perfectly. I stamped the flowers in Pretty In Pink and Chocolate Chip and the leaves in Wild Wasabi. 

The butterflies are from the lovely Papillon Potpourri bundle and the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments and the new Six Sided Sampler. Did you spot the little butterfly inside the card?

Supplies

Stamps - Papillon Potpourri, Stippled Blossoms, Teeny Tiny Sentiments, Six Sided Sampler

Ink - Pretty In Pink, Chocolate Chip, Wild Wasabi

Punches - Bitty Butterfly, Elegant Label

Ribbon - Wild Wasabi Stitched Grossgrain

I'm off now...have a fab Friday!

Stamping on Simply Pressed Clay!

Hello!

I did it!! I beat my 35 minute target for the Race For Life! I managed it in 32:30 mins! My previous best was around 38 mins so I am very happy with my time! 30 mins to beat next year then! ;) Here are some photos (I haven't added the bad ones lol!)

The three Ladbrokes girls with Adam Caterall from Key 103!

It is not too late to sponsor me...my page will be open for a while so I would love it if you give a little, give a lot, give what you can...it is for Cancer Research, and I am sure we can all say we have been touched by cancer at some point in our lives.

SPONSOR ME!

Ok, so now for today's card. I promised you a different way to use Simply Pressed Clay, and here it is!

I have used the fab Six Sided Sampler stamp and matching Hexagon punch. I've also teamed the brand new Coastal Cabana with the lovely Pool Party for a fresh look.

So have you spotted it yet? Yup, the butterfly! As you may know, I like to experiment a little and 'play' with products so I was more than thrilled when this worked! 

I rolled out my clay onto a non-stick craft sheet, then after stamping off the butterfly stamp to remove some of the lush Strawberry Slush ink, then stamped it onto the clay. I let the clay dry, then carefully cut out the butterfly. It is a very light and very flexible embellishment, and I think, if it were varnished, it would be waterproof and good for a brooch or decoration for a headband...I shall be trying that soon! :)

Supplies

Stamp - Six Sided Sampler, Papillon Potpourri

Ink - Strawberry Slush, Island Indigo, Pool Party

Other - Simply Pressed Clay

Punch - Hexagon Punch

Less Is More - Shades Of Grey!

Good morning LIMettes!

Wow what a stunner of a day it is today! I have woken up to glorious sunshine and birds singing, and headed to my craft room in anticipation of a lovely summery colour challenge over at Less Is More, so imagine my surprise when this is what I saw...

Yup! Now maybe Chrissie and Jen were anticipating the 'usual' summer weather when they set this challenge, I don't know, but I can tell you that I have never felt less inspired lol!

Nonetheless, here is my very grey entry!

I only really have one shade of grey in Stampin' Up! colours as I don't have the brand new Smoky Slate yet, but Basic Gray does manage to become different shades when used in different ways. I used a Basic Gray card blank, Basic Gray ink, and then the This 'n That Washi Tape which looks like 2 shades when used on a grey card blank. The ink spray was created using the sadly retired Spritzer Tool.

The sentiment was created by combining 2 of the ones from the brand new Six Sided Sampler Stamp Set.

I used the funky sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch for my card.

What have you got planned for the weekend? I am am running the Race For Life tomorrow, and I will be honest, I am not looking forward to it given the heatwave! However, I will complete it, and I was wondering if any of you lovely LIMettes would like to sponsor me? I have a Just Giving page here where you can securely donate any amount of money you like. I know that Cancer Research need every penny, so please give a little, if you can!

I will post some pics afterwards as proof I did it!

Have a lovely weekend all of you...enjoy the sun! I'm off crafting with Jen and Vicky! :)
