Monochrome Demonstration Card

I am demo'ing this card today at a party. I wanted something quick and easy, and it also needed to show the versatility of the punches. Wanted to get the wheel in somewhere too!! I made one of these flowers a while back and think they look stunning and so easy to make.

The base card is a landscape A6 in Basic Black with a piece of black and white houndstooth paper from the Night and Day speciality paper pack (in the new Mini catalogue). I rolled the Watercolour Vine wheel in Basic Black ink onto Whisper White, layered this onto a strip of Basic Black and then tied a knot of white satin ribbon around before popping up on dimensionals. The sentiment was also stamped in Basic Black and punched out using the Word Window punch.

The flower is soooo easy to make. I punched six scallop circles from designer paper and one from Basic Black. The six designer paper circles were scrunched up twice, opened back out and then attached to the Basic Black scallop circle using a brad through the centres. I then scrunched up the scallop circles again covering the brad and to make it look like a flower. This was then attached to the card with Tombow.

Another Flower for all Seasons

Just a quick post to show yet more from the Flower for all Seasons stamp set. Not going to say too much about it as I will be doing something similar in one of the workshops I hold at my house!! We won't be making a box to put the cards in though......it will be a surprise!!!

A Flower for all Seasons

I just love this cute stamp set, it is so versatile.

I used Real Red, Mellow Moss, So Saffron and Close to Cocoa. The images were coloured using the ink pads and blender pens and punched out with the Scallop Circle punch - lovely!! The Polka Dot background stamp was used in........well, the backgrounds.........

Feels good to be crafting again!!!!!

Ladybird bag and card

Since I am now a Stampin' Up demonstrator I thought I would update an old favourite.

I used Basic Black, Real Red, Old Olive DSP and Whisper White. The ladybird was made from the Scallop circle punch and 1" circle punch. The handle was attached using silver star brads from the Hodge Podge kit.

This is a lovely project and I have taught it a couple of times.
