Petal Party Bunny Fancy Pants

Hi!

Again, my apologies for not posting much lately. I've returned to university to do the final course in my degree and have been working hard to get my first assignment finished. It's at the 'final tidy-up' stage now, so I thought I'd have a break from study and get stuck into some crafting.

A few weeks ago I won a free pass to the current UStamp With Dawn round, called Spring Soiree. Thank you so much to Gardenia for giving me the pass! Gardenia took part in the previous UStamp round and was clever enough to be chosen as a guest designer for this round. I can't wait to see her project!

The project I though I'd try this afternoon is called Bunny Fancy Pants. It's a cute little Easter basket that was designed to look like overalls. Too cute!



Check out the cute little fluffy bunny tail on the back!



I did buy some easter eggs to put into the basket to make it look nicer and more easterish. Let's just say that study and chocolate go together in my house, and getting my assignment done was more important than a pretty picture!

Card Stock, DSP, Stickers: Petal Party Simply Scrapping Kit
Other: Sticky Strip and a cotton ball.

There's lots more projects, but I'll have to wait for the long weekend to be able to do most of them. In the meantime, come back on the 31st for the third Art With Heart blog hop. We're focusing on products from the new Autumn/Winter Mini, which will be available to buy from the 1st April.

Catch you later,

Stamp A Memory Challenge #3

Hi!

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, Claire Daly set Stamp A Memory Challenge #3 as a love theme. I had been wanting to do a layout about my husband for a while, so this seemed the perfect opportunity. The prize, most appropriately, is a heart shaped punch.

Here's my layout:



This layout took a few days to put together for various reasons. I wanted it to be secret until I was finished, so I had limited time to do it. I was also waiting for my SAB order to come in, and the Crystal Effects on the chipboard word 'you' needed to dry. I just scraped into the challenge deadline by 12 hours. Phew!

I coloured the words I, love and you so that at first glance that's what the title seems to be. I wrote the ten reasons I love my husband in each of the curly label punchies. The box at the bottom right took a bit of time as each line of text is from a different stamp. Thank heavens for stamp positioners - I wouldn't have been able to do this layout without mine. The text reads: for everything you do (For Everything ss) i'm ever grateful (2 different stamps in the So Many Sayings ss).

Card stock: Old Olive textured card from the Petal Party Simply Scrappin' kit, Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Rose Red
Stamps: Jumbo Outline Alphabet, Cute and Curly, For Everything, Yummy (retired), So Many Sayings (retired)
Ink: Basic Black, Rose Red, Always Artichoke
Other: Very Vanilla Ribbon, Curly Label Punch, Stamp Positioner, Scrapware chipboard letters.

Catch you later,

Card Patterns #49

Hi!

This time I thought I'd try Sketch #49 over at Card Patterns.

Here is the sketch:



And here is my card:



Once again I used the Petal Party Simply Scrappin Kit for most of my card. The colours are Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron and Pixie Pink. I love the bold colours in this kit. The three leaves in the top left are die cut stickers from the pack, as are the Pumpkin Pie polka dot stripes down the right side. The white flower is from Kaisercraft, layered onto a Stampin Up Scallop Circle punchie that I cut into to make it look more like a flower. The sentiment is from So Many Sayings (retired) stamped in Basic Black ink and punched out using the Word Window punch.

Catch you later,

Tina.
