Acetate Attempt

After doing a class with the lovely Teneale recently, I was keen to have a go at making an acetate card. I managed to find one A4 sheet of acetate in my stash (although I think it's too heavy) so gave it a go - and my first attempt ended up in the rubbish. The second attempt came out OK, close to what I had imagined in my head, LOL!

Flowers and butterflies - it must be Spring!

In one of next week's classes we're making a side step card and as it's getting close to the end of the Spring mini, I thought I'd give a few products from there a last whirl. I've used Walk in the Park papers, a corduroy brad and the Great Friend stamp set which have given this card a real Spring look with all those flowers and butterflies!

Materials used:

• stamps - Great Friend
• card and papers -A Walk in the Park DSP; basic grey, whisper white, kiwi kiss, cameo coral and Baja breeze cardstock
• punches - scallop circle, 5 petal flower
• other - basic grey taffeta ribbon, Baja Breeze corduroy button, dimensionals
• non SU - die cutting machine, dies, punches

Hope you enjoy this touch of Spring! Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Keeping it Simple

Burgundy and cream is one of my favourite colour combos but I seem to rarely use it on cards, so I sat down last night determined to come up with something. The resulting card is fairly simple but I am happy with how it turned out and may just have to use these colours again soon! I have layered the flowers and leaf, which may not be immediately obvious in the photo!


Materials used:

• stamps - Echoes of Kindness, Great Friend
• card - bravo burgundy and very vanilla
• other - watercolour crayons, Martha Stewart lace doily punch, stamp-a-ma-jig, adhesive pearls

Homework

At last month's team meeting no-one brought anything for show and tell, so Marelle gave us some "homework" to do for this month's meeting! She gave out packages that she had left over from various make-and-takes etc, which we had to use to make a card. In mine I got some Lovely Lilac, Certainly Celery and white gloss card. That's it; no embellishments or extras!

This is what I came up with. I hope I was allowed to add a little extra in, I used a bit of whisper white for matting and a smidge more lilac, plus some adhesive pearls. No nesties in this one - shock, horror! - but I have embossed with my "cute-le-bug", LOL!!

Stamp sets used were Baroque Motifs and Great Friend and of course the DIVINE new scallop oval punch.

Thanks for stopping by; have a great weekend!

CASEing the Spring Mini

I just adore this layout in the new Spring Mini Catalogue:

So I had to CASE it - well, with a few adjustments. My photo was large so it had to be a 12 x 12 layout, which made the embellishments a little small. Luckily my nesties Labels Four is a similar shape to the one used, so that was a good substitute. I don't have the ribbon used, so changed that to basic grey taffeta, and the rub ons used above were replaced with the leaf stamp. Here it is, hope you like it.
