Who needs sleep!!!

So I was meant to be going to sleep early tonight but ended up getting stuck at the dining room table making cards!!!!! I'll pay for it tomorrow but really enjoyed myself - here's some of the things I came up with (I apologise for the very bad photography - I normally take my photo's in the daytime in natural light but I need to give some of these cards away tomorrow so wanted to take the photo's right away!!!!)



These next two cards are inspired by the one in the Autumn/Winter mini on page 5 (I so want this hostess set!!!) Obviously my colours are different and so is the stamp set but the inspiration is there...

So I am in love with pink and green and a new blog!!!! I stumbled somehow across Lynn Putt's blog 'The Queens Scene' and fell in love with this card of her's and knew I wanted to case it - and its a friend's 16th wedding anniversary tomorrow so I thought it would be a perfect occasion to make and give??? I have used a Very Vanilla base on one and Certainly Celery on the other...can't decide which one I like the most. And how could I forget - the gorgeous poofy flower of Dawn McVey's - she is just amazing - a creative legend!!! Check out her whole blog - its great for quirky and zany stuff as well as gorgeous elegant things...

Thanks so much for stopping by and tell me what you think???

Soft Summer

So this is another gift set that I made - its actually an A2 card box (you can find the tutorial on he Splitcoast Stampers website here) and I've used clear acetate as the lid.


The card is a piece of More Mustard with layered pieces of Kiwi Kiss CS (cardstock) and DSP. I've used the Soft Summer stamp set from the Spring mini which I really really love but haven't used as much as I'd like...

I've also used the Oval All stamp set for the sentiment with the scallop oval punch (also from the spring mini which is no longer available - boo hoo!).

I stamped the main image in Chocolate Chip ink and then used my blender pens to colour in using Cameo Coral and Ruby Red as well as Kiwi Kiss and Old Olive. I have also versa marked the main image on the piece of More Mustard - I really really liked this effect...its a great stamp to use with versa mark...xxx
