Scraps Valentine….

 

A great little valentine card or just to say I love you for no other reason that you do!  I just love the little tag which I made by stamping the love stamp from the Tiny Tags Stamp Set (page 66 IB&C 2010-2011), then punching it out with the Jewellery Tag punch. It’s held in place on the Silver Elastic Cord and with Mini Glue Dot.

Hearts 3

The hearts were from the Lap of Luxury DSP from my scraps box again punched out with the Heart to Heart punch.

I really have a thing for the Silver Elastic Cord right now! It’s gorgeous!

More Scraps Creations

Hello again,
I recently told you about my raiding my scraps box, where I my inspiration for my card came from some little bits of Lap of Luxury DSP.  Well I made 2 other cards from those bits and here is the next one.

I really really love the colour combinations of the DSP.  It’s just so yummy!
This is such a simple card and yet would make a fabulous gift card or a cute wedding card.

Sweet Summer SAB Blog Hop

The main Page is Pear Pizzazz, with Blushing Bride dotty paper from the In Colors ™ Designer Series Papers Stack. The photo mat is Concord Crush. One of my favourite colours!

The gorgeous flowers are from the SAB set Sweet Summer. I stamped them in Concord Crush on to Blushing Bride cardstock and cut them out. I just love this set and have used it loads since I got it.

The So Happy tag is from the So Happy for you SAB stamp Set, which I coloured just the first part of the set with my Concord Crush In Colors ™ Stampin Write Marker. I then punched it out using the Modern Label Punch. I took the edges off by punching the edges through the modern label punch and then mounted it onto a Concord Crush Modern Label.
A few of the Basic Pearls Jewels later and there you have it.

From Scraps With Love

 

Every now and then I have moments when I feel the need to raid my scraps box and make something.  It’s my justification of why I keep all those little scraps and off cuts of paper and card.

And today’s card is one of those moments.  I had some left over 3.5” x 1.5” pieces of Lap of Luxury Designer Series Paper (DSP) that was left over from a project. I know, I know.  Why on earth would you keep bits that small you ask. 

So I can make something like this…..

Hearts 1

I just love the colours together.  Concord Crush, Pretty in Pink, Basic Grey & Very Vanilla.  Very yummy colours together.

I used the Heart to Heart punch to punch the hearts out of the DSP and attached those onto Concord Crush with Glue Dots.  The Happy Birthday is from the Perfect Punches Stamp set with a rhinestone on the dot of the i.  I really love the touch of bling these fabulous rhinestones give to projects.

I had more hearts left over and will make a a couple more cards and post them up soon.

Happy Halloween

 

This fabulous card was made by my eldest daughter and myself.  She made the Pumpkins using the Stampin’ Up! Large Oval Punch (1 ¾ x  ⅞”). 

Halloween

They’re a cheeky bunch of Pumpkins.  So easy to make and so so effective for Halloween.  Their faces are just cut out from Basic Black Cardstock and stuck on using SNAIL Adhesive.  Alternatively you can use the Multi Purpose Liquid Glue.

We used the following…
Card Stock – Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie & Concord Crush

Accessories – Large Oval Punch (1 ¾ x  ⅞”), Signo White Gel Pen

Take a Bauble and…..

Turn it upside down! And voila!  A hot air balloon!  Isn’t it just fab?

Big Bold Birthday

The bauble is from Contempo Christmas, and the rest of the card is made up from Big Bold Birthday.  Big Bold Birthday has all the elements to make fabulous cupcakes – and cupcakes are so in right now.  Have you see some of the fabulous wedding cakes there are that are surrounded by gorgeous cupcakes?  Awesome.
Oh yeah, back to the card…. 
The Balloon basket is from the base of the cupcake stamped in Melon Mambo, the clouds are the top of the cupcake stamped in Pink Pirouette and the balloon is in the new in-color Concord Crush.  This has fast become one of my favourite colours!

Up, Up and Away!!
