straight away I want to say this was not my idea – I saw it on pinterest, but had to try it! I liked the idea of using my oval die to use as a stencil. I stamped the serene sillouttes stamp( Stampin Up) in versamark ink onto white cardstock, and white embossed it, die cut and oval and used what would normally be the waste to pop over the card and inked through it with green and pink inbk.The heat embossed image resisted the ink. I also heat embossed a butterfly stamp on vellum, and coloured it witgh pink ink before fussy cuuting and attaching to the card. Wrapped the whole panel with with organza ribbon.I thoroughly enjoyed doing this ione, and time permitting will experiment further with different shapes and stampoed images! Til tomorrow….

A stamped garden!
On todays card I have gathered a few stampin up ink pads and stamp sets – stippled blossoms, bliss, and vintage vogue – and stamped out a colourful garden onto some white cardstock, which I then fussy cut around and stuck to another piece of white cardstock which I had embossed with a stampin up embossing folder – lacy brocade. I added some rhinestones, and heat embossed a butterfly on vellum and cut around that too before sticking it on the front of the card.This card is a favourite, and I must try this a gain!

Kaisercraft Blubelle card and box
Quick post tonight as I am struggling a bit today – my son gave me his cold for Mothers day! today is a card and matching box ( box on right) made with Kaisercraft Blubelle papers, and a couple of the matching collectables. I like the background paper I have used on this one.I cut one of the doily collectables in half and used it on opposite sides of the main element of the card. The flowers are kaisercraft mini flowers, and I also used some lace, satin and organza ribbon and a pearl.I kept the lid of the box quite plain.Til tomorrow….

I have been playing with some new tools today, the new we are memory keeper flower punch board in particaular,The flowers it makes are rather big, and probably not too good for cards, but i have a lovely vase of paper flowers sitting on the dining table now!
Bo Bunny Primrose card and matching box – number 6

Liquid pearls and a ribbon bow to finish off the decoration on that one. the end of a long working week and I am looking forward to some relaxation time, and some experimenting with some new tools that I will share next week! til tomorrow….
Bo Bunny Primrose number 5
This card was my other card for the card club challenge using Bo Bunny Primrose paer. I fussy cut some of the chevron patterned paper, and stuck it on top of the pink dot paper.I added quite a few rhinestones to highlight the chevrons. The sentiment stamp is from stampin up – sassy salutations. I like this stamp set for more modern card makes. til tomorrow….
