Moonlight and Holiday Home

Spent a great day with Chris (Sis-in law) today, and we only managed two projects -

here's one of them - watch this space for the other one!

It's a little pop-up box card using the Holiday Home stamp set 

and the Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack.

Colour combo is Lost Lagoon, Pear Pizzaz and Smoky Slate.

I love that sentiment!

Congratulations

Today my friend Liz has been over, and wanted to make a congratulations card

for her grandson's exam results - we looked in the catalogue for inspiration

and this is what we came up with.

Colour combo is Crumb Cake, Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey, Perfect Plum and White

The papers are from the Moonlight DSP stack .

The Sentiment is fropm a retired stamp set (but it was just the right size for the job!)

The stars are punched using the Itty Bitty Accents star punch,

and the staple was just a staple from my office stapler!

I am quite pleased with this - thanks Stampin' Up! for the inspiration!

Moonlight Sunburst!!

Here's the other card that I made at Chris's the other week.

It's a sunburst card, and it was a little bit faffy, but well worth the effort.

The colour combo is Smoky Slate. Hello Honey and Lost Lagoon -

I do so like these colours together with the white!

The papers are from the Moonlight DSP stack.

Flowers punched using the Pansy punch, the 1.1/4" Circle Scallop punch

and the tiny shamrock from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch pack.

The ribbon is Hello Honey 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon.

Tiny brads form the flower centres.

What do you reckon??

Simon's birthday

OMG!!  Today is my son's 45th birthday - where has all that time gone??
(Have I mentioned before that I was a child bride??)

Here is the card that I made for him - very CAS - nothing fussy,

hope that the colours are not too feminine.

The background is from the Moonlight Designer Series Pack

the colour combo is Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey, Smoky Slate and White.

The ribbon is Blackberry Bliss 3/8" Stitched Satin ribbon

the frame is a  Fun Frames Textured Impressions embossing folder,

 which is fussy cut out after embossing and the white card is then stamped on with the greeting 

( from Four You) and cut to fit the frame.

The Son stamp is from a retired set - "For my family" 

- but it is so useful that I won't part with this!

I am quite pleased with this.

Moonlight and Chevrons

Here's a card made using one of the new DSP stacks - Moonlight.

I do so love the colour combo - 

Basic Gray,   Hello Honey, Lost Lagoon, Smoky Slate,and Whisper White.

I decided to team it up with chevrons punched out of card stock in

 Hello Honey, Lost Lagoon, and Smoky Slate, which I paper pieced into a strip of

 Whisper White that had been punched using the Chevron punch.

This was then stuck on top of a strip of Basic Gray.

The ribbon is a sneaky peek from the new catalogue too - really rich colour - Hello Honey

and the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Sneak peek Sea Street

Today I have had a play with one of the stamp sets that will be available with the launch

of the new Catalogue on July1st - Sea Street.

I have teamed up the stamp set with a sheet of the  Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack.

I have used colours to match the DSP -

Lost Lagoon, Hello Honey and Basic Gray.

Think that this would make a lovely card for a child.

I love those tiny fishes and that cute crab!!
