Best Wishes….

After checking out sketch from http://www.stamping411.blogspot.com and wanting to come up with a layout for a Technique Class this Wenesday – Faux Tiles, I thought that maybe I could combine the 2…..  This is the result! 
Mind you, I wanted a male card, but looking at it, could be either male or female.

An early post for today.  This time a “Get Well” Card for a member of my family.
As I love Stampin’ UP!’s® “Circle Circus”, what better stamp set than this.

Ink – Real Red, Always Artichoke, Not Quite Navy
Cardstock – Whisper White, Real Red, Always Artichoke, Not Quite Navy

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.

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.

instead of Glossy Cardstock.

Challenge SSC129…

Heya Stampers,
I have just completed a challenge & thought I would show you my end results.  In fact I made 2 cards using the same sketch, except I turned one to the side.  As soon as I saw the sketch, I knew what stamp set I wanted to use, but had no idea of colours until I matched the colours with the patterened paper!

Stamp Set – Circle Circus, Short & Sweet
Cardstock – Very Vanilla, Not Quiet Navy
DSP – Kiwi Kiss

Punches – Oval, 1″ Circle, 1 3/8″ Circle, 3/4″ Circle
Rhinestone Brads – Green – Small & Large

Card 2
Supplies –
Stamp Set – Circle Circus, Short & Sweet
Cardstock – Very Vanilla, Not Quiet Navy, So Saffron

When I saw this DSP in the catalogue, I didn’t much go for it, but after working with it & seeing the end result, I LOVE it!
Why not have a go at the sketch yourself & have a bit of fun at the same time!

Tomorrow I will show you what I did with some of the left over cardstock & paper!
