Big Hugs

Good afternoon all – here with details of our latest challenge over at A Passion For Papertrey.  We have a lovey-dovey feeling going on this time so want to see your love themed creations.

I got busy with my Big Shot and dies and decided to make a card I could send to a friend or loved one for any occasion really!! 
This card also fits nicely in with the theme at CASual Friday’s this week which is “Love Letters” so I’m sharing there too!!

{BIG HUGS}
Cardstock: Kraft, Raspberry Fizz, Aqua Mist, Hibiscus Burst, Summer Sunrise, Pure Poppy, Simply Chartreuse, Hawaiian Shores.
Tools: Modern Alphabet (UC), Stitched Squares (Lil’ Inkers), Precious Hearts (Memory Box)

I’ll be back later with my card for Day 6 of Clean and Simple Cardmaking – got some embossing to do – yay!

Big Hugs,

Be Mine

Managed to whip up this little card today after being inspired by Day 6 – Clean and Simple Cardmaking class – Die Cutting.  I have been a HUGE fan of die cutting since I began card making over 8 years ago so this class was really fun for me.  Anyone who knows me also knows I am slightly in love with red and white polka dots patterns so this card combines two of my favourite things!

{Be Mine}
Stamps: Post It: Love (Clearly Besotted)
Ink: Pure Poppy (PTI)
Card: Stampers Select White , Kraft (PTI),  polka dot paper (Pink Petticoat)
Tools: Nestibilities (Hearts), Linen/Canvas Impression plate (PTI), Scallop punch (SU)

Hope you’re having a lovely weekend.

Friends Always

Whilst hubby is out clubbing (yawn) I have spent a peaceful evening crafting away at my wee desk (grin).  Todays class over at Clean and Simple Cardmaking is entitled one stamp 3 ways.  The technique Julie Ebersole shared jumped out at me so I have used that as my inspiration (I do love her videos – she just sounds so happy all of the time!!).

{Friends Always}
Stamps:Delicate Blossoms (Hero Arts), Trendy Trees (WMS)
Card: Kraft (PTI)
Ink: Versamark
Tools: White filigree embossing powder (PTI), Classic tags (Memory Box)
I used the Delicate Blossoms stamp set again (this time with the larger stamp) and after embossing it in white, coloured it with Aqua ProMarkers directly onto the card (ie not as watercolours).  The sentiments are from WMS.  I LOVE this effect and think I’ll be using it again!
Thanks for stopping by.
