For Everything

Hi!

I haven't had time to play along with the Inkspirations challenges for a while, but the latest colour combination is so cute I just had to give it a go.

I love the dusty blue that is Marina Mist and the cheerful Daffodil Delight.  Here's the card I came up with:

Stamps: For Everything, Whimsical Words (2010 SAB)
Ink: Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Marina Mist
Card Stock: Pretty In Pink, Whisper White, Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight
Other: Stamp Positioner, Blender Pen, White Brads, Pretty In Pink 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon

Catch you later,

Happy Birthday Ada!

Hi!

A little while ago I posted the invitations I'd made for Ada's 5th Birthday. While the party isn't until this weekend, her actual birthday was yesterday. The card I made her used a stamp set I'd had for a while but hadn't even mounted. It's Live Like You Mean It and it is a Level 1 Hostess set.


I love the way this card turned out. She's a pink girl, so it was Melon Mambo all the way! She loved it.

Stamps: Live Like You Mean It (Hostess), Whimsical Words (retired SAB), Polka Dot Background
Ink: Melon Mambo
Card Stock: Melon Mambo, Very Vanilla
Other: 5/8" Melon Mambo Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon, Dimensionals, Corner Rounder Punch

Catch you later,

Circle Circus Birthday

Hi!

Today I thought I'd show you a birthday card I made for my brother-in-law. Circle Circus is one of my favourite stamp sets, but I haven't used it for a while. Way past time to get it inky! Here's the front of the card:



My brother-in-law has just got a new iphone so we decided to get him an itunes voucher for his birthday. I used an offcut and adhered it using double sided tape on 3 sides to form a little pocket for the gift voucher. I did this because I made the card before we'd decided what to get him, so it was the easiest way to incorporate a gift card holder without having to make a whole new card.



Works well, I think!

Stamps: Circle Circus, Whimsical Words and Happy Moments (both retired SAB)
Ink: Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie
DSP/Card Stock: Haiku DSP, Basic Black, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White
Tools: Stamp Positioner, Scallop Circle Punch, Circle Punch

Catch you later,

Tina

Whimsical Words Birdie

Hi!

I've been a little quiet of late. There's been lots happening that has prevented me from blogging as much as I'd like. I guess life's like that! You'll be seeing some of the reasons why I've been quiet in April, but it's all very hush hush til then!

I did get the chance last night to do some crafting, so I thought I'd give the Inkspirations challenge a go. This week it's a colour challenge:



I haven't ever used Taken With Teal before, but the other colours are old favourites. It's great being pushed to try new things every now and then!



I used birdie die cuts that I was gifted by a friend. They are the same as the new Extra-Large Two-Step Bird Punch available soon in the upcoming Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue, just a little larger. I also used the Sale A Bration stamp set Whimsical Words. There is less than 2 weeks left of SAB, so hurry if you don't want to miss out on this set. They will never be available for purchase after SAB.

Card Stock/DSP: Regal Rose Hostess Patterns Pack II DSP, Regal Rose, Taken With Teal, Whisper White
Stamps: Whimsical Words, En Francais Background
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Regal Rose
Other: Regal Rose 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon, Chocolate Chip 1" Double Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon, Chocolate Chip Flower Brad (retired), Sponge Dauber, Oval Cutter (non SU)
