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.

Studio Sketches Recess Card

Phew, Friday already, where did the week go? It was my birthday at the beginning of the week, and, as it was also the Bank Holiday, I was really busy and did not have time to post anything!

Remember I said I had made a box full of recess cards? Well, here is another. ****Non-Stampin' Up products alert**** Those of a nervous disposition please look away now...............

I really like this little Stampin' Up! stamp set. It is one of the free Hostess Level 1 sets that you can earn for orders over £150, found in the Mini Catalogue. But, don't forget, this stamp set is only available until the end of this month, so if you want it you had better get your skates on......

I made a simple white recess card and added a square of Always Artichoke in the centre. The paper frame is from my stash, as is the greeting. I stamped the image onto a square of Whisper White with Close to Cocoa ink. With a Blender Pen I went over the image to 'drag' the colour around and added a very weak wash of Always Artichoke ink over the pears. I stamped the bowl of fruit, as before, onto a scrap of white and cut it out to pop it up on a dimensional.

Guess what my Hubby got me for my birthday (as well as books, books and more books (so I like to read!))? Money to spend in the new catalogue!!!! Only 27 days to go....................

Bird on a Branch Recess Card

I was asked by my Stampin' Up! Mum, Helen, to demonstrate this card at our demonstrator meeting on Saturday. We had a wonderful morning of meeting other demonstrators, chatting and stamping!! It made me realise what it means to be part of a fabulous supportive team. Become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and see what I mean.........contact me for more information!!

Many thanks Helen for organising a great morning.

Valentine Recess Card

My favourite recess card again!

I used some stiff white card from my stash, Ruby Red DSP (a Hostess Level 1 set), a heart punch from my stash and the Word Window punch.

Simples!

Trendy Trees recess card

This is just a simple card I made this evening as I am still recovering from going to the NEC on Friday!! I decided to use Chocolate Chip CS and Old Olive DSP as they are easy on the eyes - a change from the Sunny Days Simply Scrappin' kit!!!

The recess card has been a favourite of mine for a long time since I first saw it on the internet (on one of the many YouTube videos I watch!). I think the Trendy Trees stamp set goes really well as they are simple images. I stuck to Chocolate Chip and Old Olive when I stamped the trees, but added a splash of Ruby Red as a contrast. A knot of Chocolate Chip ribbon finished it off.
