A bit more paper from the Tea for two designer paper range from Stampin Up. This time I cut out some of the hexagonal paper, and layered it onto each other to make this hexagonal flower, and added an inked doily, a bit more paper wrapped in twine, and stamped a sentiment from the Vintage verses stamp set with soft suede ink. The embossed background was achieved with my stampin up honeycomb embossing folder onto very vanilla cardstock, and the card base is stampin Up Bashful Blue.I have finished making the sewing box I was doing, and am eager to get back to my cardmaking, but once again it is incredibly hot here, so it may be a cool night under the air conditioner watching t.v! Til tomorrow…..

Follow Your Heart – Be Happy..
The paper of choice today is My Minds Eye – Follow Your Heart – Be happy. This is a bigger card than I normally make, and I made it at the request of my husband so that he could take it in to work to thank everyone for there best wishes when he was sick recently. I have layered 2 layers of papers on to the cardstock, which is stampin Up baja brezze. The flowers are diecut with my cuttlebug using Stampin up Blossom Party die, and I also used a memory box die – La Rue Flourish. I added lace, bling flourishes, and My minds Eye brads, and the sentiment was stamped with a stamp from the stampin Up perfectly penned set.I like the subtle colours on this card, but I don’t know if it’s the dull rainy dreary weather we have had this week, but I am seriously in need of bright, colourful patterns and colours so I am going to go through all my papers ( may take a little while…) and create bright things this week end! Til tomorrow…
Thank you cards
Todays group of Thank you cards were made with Prima Madeline papers and stickers.I also used stampin Up cardstock, and kindyglitz and kaisercraft bling. Today has been a busy day in the craft room making fairy and butterfly cards, but I’m ready to move on, and continue on with my Birthday book. I want to get it finished so that I can use my new Zutter bind – it -all! Til tomorrow…..
