Birdhouse with quilling

Sooo cute!! Told you there would be more quilling!

The house and quilled flower is cut from Tall Tales designer papers, and the quilled leaves and stem are Old Olive cardstock.

The roof looks a bit wonky in the picture, but in real life it is straight - honest!!

Pocket Silhouette window card

I love this versatile stamp set. It is teamed up with Chocolate Chip cardstock, Tall Tales DSP, acetate and Always Artichoke ribbon. The grass image from Pocket Silhouette is stamped with Whisper White ink on the inside of the card. The greeting is from the free Sale-A-Bration Whimsical Words set.

Simple but effective!

Happy Moments cake

You will be seeing a lot of these colours, So Saffron and Old Olive, as they have been on my desk for a while and I just can't seem to put them away!!

This is just a simple card using the cake and greeting from the free Sale-A Bration Happy Moments stamp set, Tall Tales designer paper, So Saffron and Old Olive cardstock and ink, and Always Artichoke ribbon.

Lovely!

Quilled Happy Birthday

I absolutely love quilling, so decided to have a go at combining it with Stampin' Up - I think it works!

My base card is So Saffron and Old Olive, and the papers are from the Tall Tales and Tea & Crumpets ranges. The label and greeting is from the Sale-A-Bration offer and is called Vintage Labels. It is free when you spend £45 in the main catalogue - fabulous!! Contact me for more details.



The quilled flower is made with a fringed strip of designer paper and a quilling tool. The leaves are strips of Old Olive cardstock. Now I know it is possible to quill with the thicker papers and cardstock, I think you will be seeing more!

Hello Tall Tales and Animal Stories Cards and Bag

On ordering the Carousel Notes, my lovely upline, Helen, said to me "what on earth do you do with Chocolate Chip envelopes?" - was that a challenge?





I know what you are thinking "So where are the Chocolate Chip envelopes?"





In here.......





I used the envelopes to create 'pockets' for the cards and white envelopes to fit in!! I made four recess cards using the Animal Stories stamp set and the Tall Tales DSP along with Chocolate Chip ribbon in various forms and Funky Forest standard wheel makes an appearance too, oh, and Pocket Silhouette.

Trying to do four recess cards was a bit of a nightmare, but I think they turned out OKish.

Tall Tales Notebook

I bought a job lot of recycled notebooks BSU (before Stampin' Up) and have never done anything with them, until now.......

This designer paper series is so cute, so when I was moving into my new craft room and stumbled upon these notebooks, I knew straight away they were a match made in heaven!! I tried my Funky Forest wheel for the first time too. Old Olive DSP and Chocolate Chip CS were added. The So Saffron ribbon is now retired but goes really well.
