5th Avenue…

G’Day Stampers,

I’ve just created 2 cards using the same sketch over at http://ourcreativecornerweeklysketch.blogspot.com and stamp set.  The cards are made using the latest colours from the current Stampin’ Up!® Autumn-Winter Mini-Catalogue 2010.  

These colours and what I have used are a little out of my comfort zone but hey I suppose you have to try these things.

Gift Card Holder…

I’ve sat myself down tonight & come up with a matching Gift Card Holder to go with the card in previous post.
I’ve often seen these holders around the blog world, but have never attempted to make one.  After much trial and many errors, no instructions, I think I may have nailed it!

Crazy4Challenges – # C4C17

Good Morning All,
Well, I have done it again – another challenge!  It is not like I have nothing better to do!  Oh wait!  I don’t, as I am in Brissie, but hopefully not for much longer.
Sketch # 13
My Card
Supplies –
Cardstock – Whisper White, Basic Black
Stamp Set – Oval All – Retired
DSP – Urban Oasis
Accessories – Pretties Kit – Pearl & Flower, Sanil Adhesive
Punches – Scallop Oval – Retired, Small Oval, 3/4″ Circle
I’ve embossed the white with my Cuttlebug, which gives it a bit of a different look.  Thought about introducing red into the scheme of things, but kept to the basic black & white!
I am really forcing myself to start using the DSP, but they are just so lovely that I don’t want to “hurt” them!
“Urban Oasis”
Until next time – Enjoy
