Stampin'up - Moon Flowers Cards

Good Morning
A set of three lovely cards using just two colours. The cards are all made the same way, but using different images and orientation.

This first card has the image from Elements of Style.

 



This card is Pleasant Poppies

The third card is Sweet Florals

All images have been stamped with versamark on to Crumb cake card and white embossed.
Several sets of butterflies have been stamped and white embossed using Papillon Potpourri, then punched out with elegant butterfly and bitty butterfly punches.
All images and butterflies were then painted with Distress stain Picket Fence
The main images were are matted with vellum and ribbon or lace tape trim added. These panels were then attached to the card fronts with dimensionals.                                                                                       The butterflies were added using crystal effects, and then highlighted with dazzling details. Rhinestones       and candy dots finished off the designs. Stamped inserts were added.

                                      Take the time for a moonlight walk and enjoy the flowers.                                       

Keep happy crafting

Stampin'up-Traveler Train

Hello Everyone
I am bringing you today a card using the train from the new Traveler set.

The train image has been stamped on to white card, masked, then over-stamped a couple of times with Lovely as a tree, coloured with olive and suede markers. Using Sent with love paper, cut an oval to the right side and tape your train image behind the oval, then tape the whole piece to olive card. Place two eyelets to the bottom left and knot natural trim through them. Die cut an oval frame from olive card, to fit the image. Stamp and punch two tickets, position on the oval and attach the frame with glue dots. Using dimensionals, mount the whole panel to a black card base and add candy dots to the remaining three corners. Coat the frame with crystal effects.

The insert has been stamped with images from Traveler and the sentiment from Really good greetings.
I hope you find this card inspirational.
Till next time-be happy crafting

Gift Bags...

Hello,

How's things? I feel like I have been creating up a storm - gotta love those sort of days!  I can never seem to find a 'nice' gift bag - I mean there are heaps of nice ones out there but... - do you know what I mean?? So, I have had some fun and have been creating -  well decorating my own...

First the greens...

Then the blues ...

I purchased a pack of 50 bags from my local packaging store and set to work.  

I created a co-ordinating Tag to suit each bag.

I was really happy with the result - what do you think?

If you live in Australia and wish to purchase one of my Gift Bag Packs of 5, please visit our online Store:

(I have created only the two packs above (at this stage) but keep your eye out for more to come!)

Cameo Congratulations

Hello again

There are many occasions when we wish to say Congratulations. Here is a card that is suitable for many of them.

 





For this card I have used Cuttlebug Carly die cut and embossing folder on blue Co'ordinations card, lightly trimmed the centre oval, sanded lightly and matted on to Stampin'up silver glimmer card. The congratulations sentiment from Kaszazz is embossed in silver powder. There is a mini silver brad in each corner and a clear rhinestone brad in the centre of the two larger flowers. The oval centre is attached with dimensionals. All edges have been distressed. The white satin and organdy ribbon bow is attached with a Kaszazz Cameo brad. The completed panel is then attached to a white card base. The insert has been stamped using Stampin'up images and soft sky ink.
Try a card like this to send your next congratulations.

Till next time, keep happy crafting
