Beautiful Bunch ....again

At our last monthly Jems Training Day, we all decorated a little craft journal.

Well I liked the design so much that I decided to make this card for another of my 

August birthday people!! It could be you!!

Colour combination is Blackberry Bliss, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake and White..

I used the Dots Decorative mask to stencil the white spots on the Crumb Cake card ,

using a White Craft ink pad and a sponge applicator.

The big flower was stamped (Beautiful Bunch stamp set) then punched using the Fun Flower punch.

A further flower was punched using the Pansy punch on Blackberry Bliss card stock.

The smaller flowers were stamped (again from Beautiful Bunch stamp set)

but cut with the Petite Petals punch.

The leaves were die cut using the Flower Frenzy Bigz die with Mossy Meadow C/S.

The sentiment is from Tag Talk and punched with the Label Bracket punch.

Two down and a few more to go!

Little Leaves Sizzlit used to cut leaves in Old Olive CS.

February Thank You cards

Here are the thanks you cards I am giving to my customer who placed orders in February.

Close up - Midnight Muse

Crumb Cake and Melon Mambo

Tangerine Tango and Basic Black

Bermuda Bay and Rich Bazzleberry

Very CAS thank you cards utilising the Burlap ribbon -

I simply cut squares and frayed the edges.

The sentiment is from Postage Collection (Hostess) stamp set.

I used the names colour card stock to mat and layer onto the White base card

(10cm square)  then used the Petite Petals punch to make the flower.

A small Basic pearl was used for the flower centre.

Belated Birthday card

Yesterday was my niece's (and God-daughter too) birthday, 

and I am ashamed to say that it was late last night that I realised this.

To put it right , I have set about and made this belated card for Katie

and I hope that she will forgive me (maybe the money in the envelope will help!!)

It's a very CAS card but I think it's really pretty.

Colour combo is Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay and White.

A DL card blank was used.

I frayed a strip of Burlap ribbon and glued it to the white card stock,

layered onto the Coastal Cabana card stock, then onto the base card.

The flowers were punched with the Petite Petals Punch and

Basic Rhinestones form the flower centre.

The sentiment is the only one I have that is for belated birthday

and it is from a retired Stampin' Up! stamp set.

Hope that Katie likes it!!

Happy Birthday!
