While on the subject of mens cards, which I think we were, here are a couple of quick makes, made while I had my graphic 45 papers out. the images are from graphic 45 A proper Gentleman, and although you can’t see it in the photo, I cut the same images twice, and 3’d them on top with foam pads. the embossing folder I used on the background layer is Cuttlebug clockworks, and I wrapped the whole layer with some string for a but more texture.Til tomorrow…

Stampin Up stippled blossoms stamp number 1
I thought I would show some stamped cards I made a couple of weeks ago. These two cards are made with Stampin Up Stippled Blossoms stamp set. Its a two step stamping technique. the first stamped layer is a solid stamp, and you stamp it in a lighter colour, then use the second stamp in a darker colour over the top to get a more defined image. On the left I used stampin up inks – daffodil delight and tangerine tango, and on the card on the right I used stampin up rasberry ripple and primrose petals. The leaves were done with garden green and pistachio pudding inks. I used an E K Success punch on both cards. Still struggling with this rotten cold, so it’s been a lazy day for me! Til tomorrow….

Bo Bunny Primrose card and matching box – number 6
As I have mentioned before I have been making a few cards and matching boxes for my stall in June at the local craft fair, and this was one of them.The card is on the left, and I used stampin up cardstock, matted a couple of papers from Bo Bunny primrose collection, fussy cut the butterflies and flowers along the bottom, and added some Kaisercraft pearl strips. the box is on the right hand side, and I kept the decoration quite simple , using another fussy cut butterfly and a die cut from the same collection. 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….
