Craving Craft

This past week was one of those weeks when everything conspired against stamping! I had extra hours at work, DD13 was sick, then I had a fall at work and had to rest up for a couple of days. But this morning I finally made it into my new craft room (not completely moved in yet, due to the above!) to make a card.

This one is for DD13, who loves to design her own fashions and make clothes - which is primarily the reason why I bought this suite of stamps and papers. I've used one of the great sentiments from Word Play and my colours are tangerine tango, cherry cobbler, very vanilla, crumb cake and marina mist.

It's a dull, overcast day here so forgive the poor lighting in the photo. Click on it for a better look!

Hopefully I'll get time over the long weekend for some more playing!

Thanks for stopping by.

Stitched With Love

I found some stamps with sayings on them related to sewing and quilting so got them to team up with the Sew Suite range of products in the new mini.

Here's my first card made with them. I hauled out the sewing machine again and even added some buttons. I have a HUGE stash of buttons and hardly ever use them!

Materials used:

• stamps - Pattern Pieces (SU), Quilter's Sampler Sentiments (PTI)
• card - Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango, Very Vanilla, Sweet Stitches DSP
• other - scallop border punch, buttons, dimensionals (all SU); sewing machine

My second card uses one of my fav colour combos - black, cream and pink - in a much more shabby chic style card. Sorry about the night time photography!

Materials used:

• stamps - Sew Suite (SU), Quilter's Sampler Sentiments (PTI)
• card - Blushing Bride, Basic Black, watercolour, Love Letter DSP
• punches - 32 mm circle, 35 mm circle, scallop circle, scallop trim border
• other - very vanilla satin ribbon, dimensionals, sponge daubers, aquapainter, crystal effects

Thanks for dropping in.
