A set of cards....

Well I have been asked to have a stall at a fundraiser for the local daycare. So I have been busy creating items to sell.

Anyway I remembered Madonna Dunn's fantastic idea for our Sale-A-Bration blog hop and thought that I'd make some of these using the Kaleidoscope DSP and Butterfly Prints stamps and the co-ordinating Butterfly Punch. I did case Madonna's ones too, but thought that I'd show you mine originals.

Each box holds six cards and envelopes. I have even stamped on the envelopes. On the left hand side of the box is six differing sentiments, that you can choose to add to the card. So if you have a friend that likes green, you can add a sentiment to a green card to suit your friend.


For the butterfly, I stamped onto Whisper White and then punched them out. I also stamped some dots onto some acetate, using Itty Bitty Backgrounds stamps, and then punched butterflies out of these. I then bent the acetate in half, so that the wings appeared raised, as you can see in the pictures below.


Sale-A-Brations ceases on the 31st March 2010 and I have put a little bundle together for you to make these cards. For $108.30, (including P&H) this is what you will receive;

I'm back and taking up a challenge...

Hello my friends,

Well in case you didn't know, I have actually been away for the past fortnight. I couldn't let you down and not post, so I had all of those that appeared during the last fortnight (except the blog candy winner post) scheduled to just pop up every couple of days.

Anyway what better way to get back into my papercrafts than to take up a challenge? And we all know that I love Gretchens Inspiration In Action weekend sketch challenges. So here is this weekends.


Now I just felt the need to go all soft and gooey, so have made this card in pinks and greys. On this card I stamped the same heart as on the centre piece on a piece of Pink Pirouette cardstock and then punched it out with a medium sized heart, from the Heart to Heart punch.


And then I decided to copy some of Juliana Bibas pocket silhouette vase idea, which of course she claims that she has seen a bit of around the traps.

The saying on this card comes from the Sale-A-Bration set, Whimsical Words. I love this set as it has so many different sayings that will suit a variety of occasions.


I will list all the ingredients together, as aside from the stamps and punches, the ingredients are the same.

Card: Pink Pirouette, Basic Grey, Very Vanilla
Ink: Going Grey, Pink Pirouette
Punches: Small Oval, Boho Blossoms, Heart to Heart
Ribbon: Basic Grey Taffeta
Embellishments: Soft Subtles Brads
Stamp Sets: Pocket Silhouettes, I {heart} Hearts, Whimsical Words, Baroque Motifs

Till next time, happy stamping...
