Mojo Monday Challenge

Round or Square is the question over at Mojo Monday challenge blog, and although I should really have challenge myself and gone for the round one I choose the square.

A very simple card today as really should be working...

So Saffron card base, Tea and Crumpets paper (which I love) the stamp is from Occasional Greetings stamped in Chocolate Chip and some cute little buttons finished with the ribbon. Simple yet elegant I think.

Belle Toile Cards and Proud Mummy

I made this card for my friend with the gorgeous Belle Toile stamp its a large back ground stamp is just perfect for making cards quickly with. The Pink Passion looks great teamed with the black and with the filigree brads been the flower center from the flower punch it just looked stunning.

It was Archies friends birthday and he wanted to make her a card, with just a little help from me he made this card with the Flight of the Buuterfly stamp set so cute excuse his hair we had been swimming and he would not get in the shower in case he washed off the tattoo he got after bless.

Thanks for looking

Mojo Monday a challenge at last

Finally managed a challenge, feel like its been months but really its only been a couple of weeks,
popped on Mojo Mondays and when I first saw this sketch, It didn't appeal to me didn't think i would manage to use it but as its supposed to be a challenge thought I would have a go.
Here's the sketch
And here's my card, I love how you can use different colours on one stamp when you use the markers, I,m loving this stamp set, only had it a couple of days and it was my first play with it.

A lovely bright and cheery colour combo here's what I used.

Card stock; Pretty in pink and Pumpkin Pie

DSP; Sweet Always

Stamp Set; True Friend

Ink Pads; Pretty In Pink and Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin Pie ribbon, and all punches used are SU also.

Field Training Swaps

I,m very excited today, I,m going to my first Stampin Up field training tonight, its at my fabulous up line Monica's house over near Goole, so not too far to go should hopefully only take me about 40 minuets, but knowing me I,ll get lost. Anyway here's the cards I have made for the swap. I,ve kept them simple as had to make quite a few,
I,ve used the Circle Circus stamp set, and Oval all sentiment, in Basic Grey and So Saffron, I love them and hope they are up to standard tonight.

While I had them out I made some more just swapped the Basic Grey for Rose Red (I love this colour) Same stamps just randomly stamped an a4 sheet of Whisper White and then cut the front panels to size.

Also out of the off cuts I managed to squeeze two more cards, I am not into wasting anything and I think its something that most crafters hate.

Well off to get ready for tonight now got lots to do in the house so its easy for Mike to get the kids to bed and we all know they dont look past their noses for anything so will have to lay all Pj,s and stuff out for him. Bless..

Back tomorrow with some swaps hopefully.

Flight Of The Butterfly.

I love love love this new stamp set its so easy to make beautiful cards with, and having the punch to match just tops it off, especially as I am always pushed for time and tend to stay away from doing anything that requires a lot of cutting out as it takes such a long time to do a good job of it. This is also my first Easel card and am liking these too, think i will be doing a lot more of them soon. Going to my first field training event on Tuesday night really exited about it I,ve got my swaps already just hope they are not too basic. I,m sure they wont be.

All supplies are Stampin Up.

Bookmark card

Hi all, sorry didn't get this uploaded yesterday, had forgotten I,d been volunteered to go on a school trip to Tesco and find out all about their recycling it was quite interesting actually just didn't enjoy been stood in the huge fridges for half an hour.
Then it was my dads birthday cant believe hes actually 67 he acts like a 40 year old but as that would make him only 8 years older than me, it would be odd.
Anyway today's card is an idea I saw on an us blog cant find it now but some of you may have seen it only the front panel on theres was a technique using acetate, didn't have any so thought I would make my own version.
Here's the front view..
The middle with book mark, still attached..

and inside completely opened up with book mark still attached

I love this idea as its a card but also a small gift, very useful and by changing the colours and stamps used could be made for any occasion.

All supplies are Stampin Up except the nesties which are label 2 I think.

Hope you like it

Stamp With Us

The Stamp with Us team have started another round of on-line classes, they are such a talented bunch I love all their projects and have singed up again, but The card today is from their last round which I have only just made this week, think I need to spend more time crafting and less time surfing around the net.
I love this colour combo and the flowers which Monica showed us how to make with the scallop circle punch look great, will def be making a lot more.

All products are Stampin Up except the punched leaves . So cute.
Short post as am off to work but I,m crafting all night tonight so will be back tomorrow with a bookmark card I need to make for a gift.
Happy crafting
