Soft Silhouette

Hope your enjoying the weekend of the summer hols!

Could do with a bit more sun, but hopefuly it's on it's way.

Here is a quick note card that I used at a recent workshop

using the new colours,

Soft Suede and Rich Razzelberry.

  

I've used some of the lovely Cottage Wall papers that are sooo nice

I've hardly used them!

And even now I have only used a small amount!

I just can't bear to cut them!

The stamp set used is Pocket Silhouettes, which I've stamped in Soft Suede.

I love making note cards this size.

They are so quick to do and very satisfying!

Well I have a busy week planned for the boys,

including a trip to the seaside tomorrow.

Let's hope the sun comes out!!!

Subtle Silhouettes

Afternoon!!

Just a quick post today today to show you

another card I made using the Pocket Silhouettes

set while it was sat on my desk.

This time I've used colours from the soft subtles family,

Pretty in Pink, Barely Banana and Certainly Celery.

Ben and I have had a lovely afternoon with the ladies from the

Holmewood craft group, introducing them to all the lovely

Stampin'Up products.

Pop back tomorrow and I'll show what Ben made

while we were all bust crafting.

Thanks So Much!

Hello!

Sorry for the lack of posts over the last few days.

These last few weeks of term are very busy so my posting will be as and when

until we have finished school and work for the summer.

Here is a quick post to show you the card I am making with a group

of ladies at Sara's workshop tomorrow evening.

It uses the new colours, Soft Suede, Rich Razzelberry and Melon Mambo

and the very versatile Pocket Silhouettes stamp set.

And of course I've added some yummy spotty ribbon to to finish it off.

Right, time to go and get my box packed ready for the workshop

so it's not a rush tomorrow as the boys are off school for an inset day.

I feel a visit to the play centre coming on!!!

Special Birthday

 

The weather here is a bit grim!!

So hopefully this will brighten your day,

the second card my I made with my ladies at card class

on Thursday.

I wanted to make something a bit special as I had someone special in mind

to send this card to.

I've used a combination of Flight of the Butterfly and Pocket Silhouettes stamp sets

as well as the butterfly punch and used the colours Pretty in Pink,

Kraft and Close to Cocoa.

 

Here is a close up of the butterflies made using acete and the white craft in pad.

A lovely effect that is so simple but looks soooo pretty!

So, this card should have now landed safely on the doormat of my

Stampin'Up Mummy (upline) Julie!!

I hope you had a fab birthday.

Bravo Challenge!

Good Morning!

It's a bit grey and drizzly here, hope it brightens up

for half term next week!!

Here is a quick card I made last night after the boys had gone to bed.

I have have challenged myself to use a colour I have never used before...

Bravo Burgundy!!

I've teamed it with Bordering Blue and Soft Suede.

It doesn't look too bad!

A good colour combination for blokes cards.

The stamp set I have used is Pocket Silhouettes

and I've used my neglected Oval and Scalloped Oval punches

for the sentiment.

I've added a bit of detail using the paper piercer

and of course I just had to use some new yummy dotty ribbon

in Soft Suede!!

Yesterday was a busy day which included me going to school

to see Ben at his May Pole dancing.

Here he is skipping round the pole with his ribbon.

Aww bless him!

Right I have to get some housework done while I wait for a

large Stampin'Up parcel to arrive!

Mambo Silhouettes

I finally found some time to craft over the weekend,

 after such a busy week with poorly children, I needed to catch up!!

I've been playing with my NEW Melon Mambo card a ribbon.

I've made this very simple card using Pocket Silhouettes, Kraft, Melon Mambo,

So Saffron and Soft Suede.

I love this dotty ribbon!

Not sure as I will use much of it as I want to keep all of it!!!

I need to play with the other colours now!

Right I'm off to my carft desk while I have some time.
