Colour Challenge

I made these cards for a colour challenge - Raspberry Ripple, Daffodil Delight & Bashful Blue.

These are definitely not colours I'd choose to put together!  However, they are very bright and cheery and a good playful colour scheme - they would be lovely as a little girls birthday card, or party invitations.

Supplies Used:
Stamp Set - Papillon Potpourri & Perfect Punches
Inks - Raspberry Ripple, Daffodil Delight & Bashful Blue
Cardstock - Whisper White, Daffodil Delight
Ribbon - long since retired
Wide Oval Punch & Framelits - Labels Collection

This card was even quicker to make than the last!   I cut the cardstock to 21 x 10.5cm to get the small square size.   And I stamped the butterflies several times without re-inking to get the different tones.

Stamp Set - Papillon Potpourri, En Francais & Kindness Matters
Inks - Raspberry Ripple, Daffodil Delight & Bashful Blue
Cardstock - Raspberry Ripple, Whisper White & Bashful Blue
Elegant Butterfly & Bitty Butterfly Punch
Framelits - Labels Collection

So, my challenge to you today, is to go make a card with these colours - or choose 3 colours that you wouldn't normally put together and see what you come up with!

Cheerio!

Festive Friday

I saw a card on Pinterest that really inspired me.  Unfortunately I can no longer find it so I can't credit the original designer.

Anyway, mine is quite a bit different but I think you would recognise it if you saw the original so please let me know if you do.

I've used the Snow Flurry Bigz die to make the snowflakes.  I can see many possibilities for this because there are 3 sizes of snow flake and they will layer beautifully.

The embossing was done using the Northern Flurry folder for the Big Shot, and the bauble is one of the circle medallions from the Pennant die.

My second card is very similar but uses a stamp from Perfect Punches in the centre of the bauble.  I stamped in Real Red ink and used the 1 3/8" scallop circle to punch it out.

Thanks for looking!  Hope you have a lovely weekend.
Cheers

Pizza Top Note Box

Here's a box I made from an original idea I saw on Splitcoaststampers.    It's a basic pizza box inside - we'll be doing this in a class soon.  The outside is made using the Top Note with the Big Shot (you need one of these!).

I'm not sure I like my choice of decorations or colours, but you get the idea for the style.   

Supplies used:

Stamps: Short & Sweet, Perfect Punches, Birthday Bakery (Hostess)
Cardstock:  Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Perfect Plum, So Saffron
Ink: Melon Mambo, Perfect Plum, So Saffron
Punches: Scallop Circle, Wide Oval
Top Note die, Big Shot, Double Stitched wide grosgrain ribbon (retired)

The pizza box inside is really easy to make.   Come to a class to find out how!
Happy Stamping
