Dandelion wishes

This week I had a delivery of new crafty goodies, so thought I would have a little play with a couple of the sets, Dandelion Wishes and Bokeh Dots.

I used one of the panel stamps from the Bokeh Dots set, and Blackberry Bliss ink to create my background before stamping one of the dandelions in black ink.

I mounted the white panel onto black card base with dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

The current challenge over at Less is More is black & white + one colour.

Birthday Wishes - Less is More

I am loving this sketch over at Less is More so thought I would share another card that I have created for the challenge

I die cut some squares from DSP using the layered square framelits from stampin up and mounted them onto black card stock. I added a sentiment banner to complete 

CAS Oh so Eclectic

This weeks challenge over at CAS Colours & Sketches is a colour combination.

When I first saw these lovely colours I thought of autumn which is just around the corner.

Whilst looking for my vintage leaves stamp set I picked up Oh so eclectic, this is a set i have not used for a while so thought I would have a play.

My first card is on a white card base, and the image was stamped 

 in the following order Merry Merlot, Mango Melody and finally Poppy Parade.

I used Merry Merlot for the open flower stamp, before adding a sentiment to the bottom.

This card uses Very Vanilla cardstock, and I die cut my stamped image with a stitched square, and then mounted it onto a slightly larger square of Merry Merlot putting it at a slight angle on the card base.

I use lots of Hello cards whilst working away from home so thought this sentiment would come in handy.

CAS Fruit basket

Good morning from a damp north Wales.  The last few days here have been very misty and damp, we can hardly see the mountains from the office window.  Has we not been doing much outside work I have took the opportunity to do a little crafting.

I have had a little play with the now retired fruit basket stamp and punch set from Stampin Up.

I have combined the current challenge over at the Paper Players  CAS Fruit, and I have used the sketch from the current challenge over at Less is More

  

The squares were die cut using the Layered squares framelits from Stampin Up from whisper white and lemon lime zest card stock.  I then stamped two pears using Lemon Lime Twist ink and soft suede for the stalks before punching out with the coordinating punch.

I added 3 white pears to the other squares.

The sentiment is from the same set and stamped in soft suede

Forever Friends

Good afternoon, I have a card to share today that I finished last week but have just not had time to take a photo or blog it, and i wanted to enter into the current challenge over at Less is More

I have used a digi image from LOTV and coloured it with copic markers.  This card was made for my husbands birthday from our dog Millie.

It sums up the relationship that they both have, our dog is definitely a mans dog, and she loves to sit next to him whenever she can

Thinking of you

I needed a sympathy card quickly and this is what I came up with.

Its a one layer, using the Petal Pallette stamp set from stampin up and coloured with stampin write markers in old olive and calypso coral.

I scored 2 lines across and added a sentiment from Sheltering Tree set.

Please excuse the terrible picture but I do not have anywhere suitable for taking pictures at the moment.

I am going to enter this into the current less is more challenge

OLC - Thinking of You

Animal Outing

Its not often that I find time to craft these days, but today I decided to have a play with the Animal Outing Stamp Set from Stampin Up

First up is a new baby card featuring the little giraffe stamp.  

I have kept it very simple. 

I am entering this card into the current challenge over at

The Paper Players Animal Antics

For the next two cards I have used the hippo stamp from the set.
