Blue giraffe

Hi! 

I am playing with the Craftangles by CraftAdda "Its a Boy" 6"x6" paper pack today.

I just love the variety of the patterns in this paper pack and I have tried to showcase that here.

I used a wooden giraffe button as the focal point, placed on a few circles punched with my EK success and Punch Bunch punches.

I finished off the card with some jute ribbon.

I didn't add a sentiment as I felt it didn't need one. :-)

A cute and simple card.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Reviewing Craftangles All for Love Paper Pack.

Hello!

For my official CraftAdda post today 

I have a card which I made using the Craftangles 'All for Love' 6"x6" paper pack!

These papers are of superb quality...thick and smooth and cut like butter!I just love the vibrant colours and whimsical patterns!

To make this card, I used an old  card sketch from Retrosketches.

I cut the papers using the Simon Says Stamp Stitched rectangle die, Law Fawn Polaroid die and some circle and scalloped circle punches from EK Success and Punch Bunch.

The large die cut sentiment is from Winnie and Walter.

I used  a couple of brads from recollections to add some interest.

Since I loved the plaid pattern on the paper, I decided to use the plaid pattern cuttlebug embossing folder for the background cardstock.

A nice masculine card...don't you think?

Do drop by the CraftAdda store to check this paper pack as well as many more awesome designs from Craftangles!

I am playing the Simon Says Stamp wednesday"Touchy Feely" challenge this week!

To make this card, I used stamps from from the 'Stamped stitches' Stamp set from Hot of the Press and the Christmas Sentiment from Hero Arts.

I used Tim Holtz distress inks to colour the background so the black and white panel could pop.

Pretty doily

Hey Everyone! Today I have a very simple birthday card!

I used a doily die cut, cut with my die from cottage cuts for my focal image and added a handmade punch craft flower for interest.(made using punch bunch punches)

To add interest to the pink doily, I stamped over it using Brilliance white ink and a texture stamp.

The sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Quick and simple…hope you like it.

Recycled wrapping paper flowers

Hi everyone!

I am playing the Paper Players challenge this evening! 

This theme was truly a challenge..I just didn't know where to start!!!

Then, I started clearing up some of the mess in my craft room and almost threw out this gorgeous wrapping paper that a visiting friend had wrapped my daughter's christmas present in!

Suddenly, just like that, it all came together!!!!! Has that ever happened to you???

I chose the medium geranium punch from Punch Bunch and punched out 12 petals, which I then manipulated with my embossing tool. I placed one layer of petals with the gold side up and alternated it with a layer with the red side up. I cut the leaves using my sizzix die. 

The background panel was from my scraps…embossed with the cuttlebug embossing folder.

The sentiment is from Kaisercraft, which I stamped with Versafine Crimson Red and gave a gold border with my gold signo pen.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great evening!

Using printables

Happy Wednesday Everyone!
It's the day that I post as DT for the Craft Adda Blog
This week, I decided to make a card using digital printables.

This card is inspired by the Hero Arts April 'Just for her' and Sketch challenge.

I have used a digital printable here from the 3"x4" journal/filler cards set from Mel Stampz.

The flowers, leaves and stamen are made with Punch Bunch punches.

the background stamp is from Hot of the Press 'delicate patterns' stamp set stamped with Onyx black Versafine ink.

The sentiment stamp is from Stampendous.

Quite a striking card, don't you think?

Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoy!
