Todays card is another card in a box, and I am busy in the craft room making more of these for an order. For this one, I used stampin Up cardstock – certainly celery, and Kaisercraft patterned paper – pickled pear. I do like this paper, and have made another card with it which I will show you tomorrow,in the meantime for this one I cut a rectangle out of the fromt of the card using a spellbinders die, and covered the front with some of the paper. I used a stamp from the matching stamp set to stamp onto acetate with black stazon ink and cut it out. this worked a treat and I will be doing this again!I stauck a panel from the paper that had an inspirational sentiment on it to the insiside of the card, and popped on a butterfly sticker from the pickled pear sticker sheet.After all that it was just a matter of flowers, ribbon and bling to finish. That’s it for today – it’s back to the craft room for me…Til tomorrow….

It’s a boy/girl cards
Todays cards are it’s a boy/ girl cards made with Stampin up baby prints stamp set,and stampin up pink piroutte and bashful blue cardstock and inks. I added assorted flowers,buttons and ribbon for some interest. I used my tim holtz emboss diffuser number 2 to create the unembossed circle in the centre of the cards so that I could stamp on the white cardstock, and still have the embossing around the stamped image. I do like this gadget and must investigate the other diffusers in this product line.The other thing I am looking for is a die which cuts a window with a window ledge – if anyone knows the name of this die I would really appreciate the information! Til tomorrow….
