A Baptism

Hi everyone. Today I'd like to show you a card that I made for our little neighbour who will be baptised in a couple of weeks...

The colours I used were Crumb Cake, Not Quite Navy, NIght of Navy, Real Red and Bashful Blue. The letters were cut with alphabet dies. The background was created with stamps from the Little additions stamp set, stamped in VersaMark ink. The onesie was stamped using the retired Baby Tees wheel. The sentiment is from the retired Vintage Labels stamp set. It was punched out using the Jewellery Tag punch. There stars were created with the Small Star punch.

Now to clean up my craft room, which looks like a bomb hit it. I guess that's the downfall of being so craftfully productive lately. :(

Catch you all soon.

August Class

Hello everyone.
We had a small but very fun and cosy class tonight, during which we discussed all sorts of topics such as cake decorating courses, towel racks, coffee machines, the fabulous new SU catalogue and....oh, yes...we made a couple of cards too! Ha ha!
Here they are...

This first cards are similar to the one I showed you in my previous post but in different colours. All the card packs I made for the class had a different feature colour in them. Participants were able to choose their sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments set. The masculine Just Rugby set is retiring at the end of tomorrow, so if you'd like to get your hands on it, or any other retiring set, please let me know ASAP!!!!

The background stamp is from the Extreme Elements stamp set. The stars were punched with star punches and pierced with a silver brad. The back coloured panel was embossed with the Lattice folder.

This was the second card....

It was inspired by a card that I found on this website by Cristena Bagne, featuring a technique that I don't know the name of! I'm sure that it isn't mentioned on her Blog either. Anyway, the technique results in a watercoloured look without the watercolouring. So cool and a hit at my class.
The background stamp is En Francais and the feature stamp and sentiment is from the Just Believe set.
The butterfly was cut with the Beautiful Wings Embosslit.

Please let me know if you'd like to know anything about these cards.

Until next time but remember that you have only until 31st August to order any retiring items from the current catalogue, and remember that the new catalogue kicks off on 1st September! Woo hoo!!!!!

Baby Tees Card

A quick 'hello' to you all. I hope you're all well.

Just taking a minute or two to show you this card I just finished for one of the mums at school who gave birth to a little baby boy on the weekend. I can't wait to meet him. Here is the card...

Colours used were Crumb Cake (love Crumb Cake!), Bashful Blue and So Saffron. I used the cute little Baby Tees jumbo wheel for the images. The sentiment is from the Silhouette Sentiments hostess set. It was punched with the Jewellery Tag Punch. The button, coloured twine and coat hanger are all from my stash.

See? Told you it was quick!

Take care.

Baby Tees Christening Card

I'm back to share with you the result of my first play with the Baby Tees wheel. This was another stamp I just knew I had to have when the new catalogue came out.

We have been invited to our little neighbour's christening this month so it was a perfect opportunity for me to use it. Here is the card...

This is such a cute stamp & I have to say, I think the card is cute too. The jumpsuits were rolled onto watercolour paper with black StazOn ink, coloured with markers and cut out. Colours used were Chocolate Chip and Pretty in Pink.

The "Congrats" sentiment is from the Silhouette Sentiments hostess set. It was punched with the Jewellery Tag punch. The other sentiment is from a retired set. It was punched out with the Word Window punch.

The cute little coathangers are from my stash. I bought them years ago knowing that one day I'd find a use for them. The twine, crystal, flowers, glitter & buttons are also from my stash.

Do you guys like this one?
