Something Sweet

I made this card for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge Wk 58 Soft & Sweet. I think this PB stamp is sweet so should fit the challenge fine. I coloured the hedgies with Whispers markers and Distress Inks then cut them out with my Nesties. I then inked around the edges, matted onto some basic grey pink paper and inked around that also. The DP is Dovecraft Weddings which I also inked along the edges. I attached the DP onto the scalloped card with pink brads and added a ribbon and some lace. I inked up the paper roses to make them pinker. The sentiment is a sticker and the charm from stash. The pink ink pad had worked over time on this card lol I have put it away for a rest now ;0)

This is my take on the Penny Black Saturday Challenge Wk 49. Recipe 3..2...1 Three Flowers....2 Papers.....1Charm/Brad. I used my nesties to cut the shaped card as well as the DP's and Stamped image. The flowers are punchies, the papers K&co.

A Birthday Gift

Hi,

I thought I would show you the note card set I made for my partner's step mum. I got the inspiration from Mel Stampz Blog, see link over there ---->I made up the bag as per the template and then cuttlebugged a coordinating pink paper and cut to size and adhered to the front of the bag. I added some pink ribbon and a few little gems. The flowers are from my stash. the Note Cards are approx 4x4" and I used the same Cuttlebug embossing folder on them as I did for the front of the bag. I used a pretty floral decoupage sheet I picked up in town to finish off the cards.

Here Is the Birthday Card that I made for her. The shape of the card is taken from the new Nesties Lable Dies that are out and I so want LOL. I Printed the pattern onto the card then cut the shape from a template I had earlier made. As the card has to be folded and I wanted the shape to follow on all sides I cut a matching piece from the card and to add some interest I cut the straight edge with shaping scissors and then punched with a ribbon threading punch and threaded the red ribbon. I then watercoloured the little hedgie and used nesties to cut and emboss the card and then mounted him on to the card. I added flowers from my stash and a rub on sentiment.

I have entered this Card into the

A Spoon Full Of Sugar Challenge
