Cards & Things – # 27…


I’ve been trying to clean up & come across some small scraps of cardstock.  Circle Circus just happen to be in my hand at the same time, so I quickly whipped up a couple of Thank You Cards which I used this morning……

While I had all the mess going, I decided to have a go at the Challenge over at http://www.krista-kris-challenges.blogspot.com and used the same stamp set and sort of the same idea.

Sketch –

Card –
Supplies –
Stamp Set – Circle Circus, Bitty Birthday
Ink – Riding Hood Red, Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White
Cardstock – Whisper White, Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, Pacific Point
DSP – Chocolate Chip
Punches – Scallop, 1 3/8″ Round, 1 1/4″ Round
Accessories – Snail Adhesive, Brads – Clear & Green
Non-SU – Blue Rhinestone
I actually found my SU Brads & have taken the pokie bit off the brad & am left with just the Rhinestone.  I added the Kiwi Kiss to bring a 3rd colour into the scheme of things.
Enjoy!

Shells………….

G’Day Stampers,

An early start this morning…..

After coming home from the beach yesterday arvo & finding this great, but oh so easy sketch  – http://just-add-ink.blogspot.com – decided to add the 2 together & here is my interpretation of the sketch.

The DSP I’ve used looks a little like starfish, so decided to go match it in with the stamp set.

Card –
Supplies –
Stamp Set – Seaside, Bitty Birthday
Ink – Chocolate Chip, Not Quite Navy
Cardstock – Very Vanilla, Not Quiet Navy,
Chocolate Chip
DSP – Bella Bleu
Accessories – Anywhere Glue Stick, Mini Glue Dots
I’ve stamped the greeting from “Bitty Birthday” straight along the strip of Very Vanilla.  It isn’t a straight line, but I wanted it like that, as it sort of reminds me of the waves coming in.
Until next time, Enjoy!

Thank You Card….

instead of Glossy Cardstock.

All the Embossing Powders from Stampin’ Up!® would have to the best on the market – you can’t beat them.  Check them out – Page 154 of the current Idea Book & Catalogue
