notelet container

I was having a little play and decided to make some gift boxes, this cute little box fits a small note pad a pen and some greetings cards.

I used one and a half sheets of a4 card stock in perfect plum. and a small piece of whisper white for the butterfly. I also used my cutlebug for the embossed detail across the front flap, and elegant eggplant ribbon. The stamp set was the bold butterfly set and i used perfect plum ink.

Thanks for looking.

Engagement card

This is a card i made recently for a very good friend of mine. Using the summer by the sea stamp set.

I used Basic grey ink to stamp the image and sentiment and all stampin up inks for the watercolouring which i did using my aqua painter.

I used Chocolate chip card stock for the card base and some hodge podge ( which i don't use very often cos i don't like to give it away, you ust be very special if you get it on your card :)

The light blue card was a gift from a good friend, a us demonstrator and was one of their "in" colours Soft Sky.......I'd love it to be in our new catalogue but i guess we'll just have to wait till the 1st October to find out what we get ....... how exciting.

Keep checking my site to find out what gets retired from our catalogue next month as september could be the last chance you have to order some of the current merchandise... watch this space:)

A tree for all seasons

I love this little set of cards and i'm definitely going to have to make some more.

I used my cuttlebug with a square frame embossing folder to make the raised squares in which I stamped the trees, I used basic grey ink from Stampin' Up! as it is water proof and ideal for water colouring, I used my blender pens with my ink pads to water colour the images.

If you'd like to know more about water colouring just click on the technique tab below.

getting in the christmas spirit

Just a couple of quick cards which i did the other day they both use whisper white card stock and old olive with the silent night stamp set and the seasonal wishes stamp set.

The ribbon was non Stampin Up! on this occasion.

Thanks for looking.
