Fun and Fast Notes bird

I told you I have made loads of recess cards!!

This one is made from Kraft CS (soon to be called Crumb Cake in the new catty) with Mellow Moss DSP from the Patterns Pack DSP III, free Level 1 Hostess gift when you spend £150 or more. I added some So Saffron as an accent colour behind the image and the greeting. The image is from the very versatile Fun and Fast Notes stamp set which I stamped onto Whisper White in Basic Grey ink and coloured with Close to Cocoa, So Saffron and Mellow Moss inks and a Blender Pen. I then used the Mat Pack and Paper Piercer to prick a border around the edge.

Simple Make and Take

I needed a simple Make 'N' Take for Thursday as there could be quite a few ladies coming to a party that my crafting friend Julie is holding at the craft group she goes to.

Fun and Fast Notes came to mind straight away as there are eight images and sentiments that I can divide between the ladies. They will each make virtually the same card, but with a different image - this also helps when demonstrating the card!!

The base card is Sage Shadow with a strip of designer paper from the Kaleidoscope collection. The image and sentiment is stamped using Basic Grey then coloured with So Saffron, Pretty in Pink and Creamy Caramel inks. I layered this on a piece of So Saffron cardstock and popped the whole thing up on dimensionals.

Hope they like it/them!!!

Night and Day quilling

Oh yes, yes, more new papers from April's Mini Catalogue!! Have you got the message yet that I love everything in the upcoming new catalogue??

As I was making yesterday's card I thought about this new paper which is part of the Night & Day Speciality paper pack. What makes it a Speciality Pack? As well as the expected fantastic quality double sided papers, you also get two 12cm x 12cm sheets of black spotty printed window sheets (thick acetate)!!

I made this card the same way as the Vintage Vogue En Francais card, but instead of the black strip I used a die cut shape. The sentiment from Fun & Fast Notes was punched out using the Word Window punch and layered onto some Mellow Moss punched out using the Small Oval punch.

Happy Baby Girl Journal

I love this pram image from Fun and Fast Notes stamp set and with the baby's face from All in the Family stamp set it is simply gorgeous!!

I used a piece of Pretty in Pint cardstock on which I had stamped the Polka Dot background stamp in Pretty in Pink ink. The same ink was used to stamp the pram image on the Whisper White frame as a background. The square I cut from the centre of the frame I used to stamp my main image on and used the 'can't live without' Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to get the baby's face in the right place. The sentiment is from Fun and Fast Notes too. To finish off I tied a few knots of Pretty in Pink striped grosgrain ribbon on the wires of the journal.
