I recently recieved my order which I made on 23rd July and which included the Stamp-a-faire exclusive set – Iconic Images.  What can I say – I LURVE this set.  It’s so different from any other set I have from PTI and I just can’t put it down!!

Hope you can play along with us this week.

ETA: I am entering for the first time in the Papercrafts August gallery challenge too as the theme is “Girly cards” – and this is a pretty girly looking card if you ask me!!!

Well it’s FOREVER since I had a chance to play along with a challenge and this weekend I decided to join in with with at least one.  I haven’t played along with the CAS-ual Friday challenges before but I have been following them every week – all I ever seem to do is say “Oh, I must make time to play along with this one”.  Before I know it the week has gone by along with my time!!
The challenge is Embossing – wet or dry!!  I chose the dry kind!!

The embossed panel is done using a cutlebug folder on Vintage Cream CS (PTI).  The little houses (LOVE) are from the Love Lives Here die collection (PTI).

Thanks for looking.

Okay, so this is WAYYYYY late going up but we’ve been off caravanning again and I just haven’t had a second to stop and blog!!  So here it is, our newest APFP challenge which is to create a card for one of those men in your life.   My nephew recently had his 4th birthday and this is the card I made for him.

 

{Recipe}
Stamps – Masculine Motifs (the stars), Big Birthday Wishes, Framed.
Ink: Hawaiian Shores, Terracotta Tile, Summer Sunrise.
Cardstock: Hawaiian Shore, Summer Sunrise, Terracotta Tile.
Other: Stars die collection, By The Numbers Die Collection Glossy accents.

To be fair I think it could be for a girl or a boy so not sure if I’m not exactly sticking to the brief of a “male card”! (Hey, if Aimes got away with her “Sky’s the Limit” card last time – I think I’m ok with this one!! – wink!!). I stamped the square frame from Framed and then found a pen (which matched perfectly!!) and filled in the gap – I couldn’t make the gap work!! I then made a mask for the centre so I could randomly stamp the stars from Masculine Motifs around the outside. Although it can’t really be seen in the photo the “4” is thick with glossy accents which makes it pop right off the card – shame you can’t see it!!

Hope you get a chance to play with us over at A Passion For Papertrey and share your fabby creations with us.
