A beautiful friendship card made for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop using the Bottled Happiness stamp set combined with the Softly Sophisticated stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Simply Sophisticated Bottles card for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we are sharing projects inspired by a dice roll – In Colors, Masking, Friend, Staple and Fun Fold. I have combined the Bottled Happiness stamp set from the Annual catalogue and the Softy Sophisticated stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration Brochure to make my card.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the simply sophisticated bottles card, you will need:

Sweet Sorbet card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Pebbled Path card – 4⅞” by 3⅛”
Basic White card – 4¾” by 3”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – for the inside
Scrap Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis

 

I placed the front of the card base in my Paper Trimmer, lined the score line up with the cutting track and the other end lined up at, roughly 1¾”, the measurement isn’t crucial and I did it by eye.

I stamped the smaller, squat bottle in Orchid Oasis ink at the bottom of the  4¾” by 3” piece of Basic White card, roughly in the middle. I stamped the image again onto a Post It Note taking care to position it largely onto the sticky part, and cut it out with scissors. I placed it over the stamped image and stamped the taller bottle to the left in Boho Blue ink and the squat bottle to the right in Tahitian Tide ink.

Leaving the mask in position I stamped the leafy spray in Parakeet Party ink and added the flowers in Sweet Sorbet ink. I removed the mask.

The ‘ground’ was stamped in Pebble Path ink using a stamp from the Trucking Along stamp set and the whole panel was glued to the panel of Pebbled Path card. The whole piece was then added to what was left of the card front, lining up the upper left corner with the cut line.

A thin strip of Parakeet Party and Orchid Oasis card were flagged and stapled to the front panel.

Cards made for the circle themed Christmas Stampathon challenge using the Cottage Wreaths stamp set and Sponge Daubers by Stampin' Up!

Circle themed card for the Christmas Stampathon

Today I am sharing the cards made for the January Christmas Stampathon. The theme for this month is ‘Circles’.

My first thought was the Cottage Wreaths stamp set from the Annual Catalogue, but I have used it so much that it felt a bit obvious. I was thinking about what to do and attempting to tidy up my desk when my hand fell on my box of sponge daubers………..and just like that I knew what I wanted to do. As per the rules of the challenge I have made 4 cards.

Colours in this project are:

 

To recreate 4 circle themed card, you will need:

Card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – I chose 2 in Sweet Sorbet and 2 in Tahitian Tide
Early Espresso card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” x 4
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 8 – 4 for the insides
Gold Glimmer paper – 4” by 1” x 4
Basic White card – 4” by 4” x 4

 

You can never have too many circles when you have a circle theme so I used the dotty 3D Embossing Folder to emboss the 4 Basic White panels for the outside of the card. This panel was then adhered to the Early Espresso layer. I glued the piece to the card bases.

Freddo Treat Pouches

Today I am sharing the table gifts made for my January classes  to hold a little chocolate treat in the form of a Caramel Freddo. This treat pouch was inspired by a Youtube video by Sandra Ronald. 

Colours used are:

 

To recreate the treat pouches you need:

Card stock 5” by 4 ¾” – I chose Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape

Ribbon

 

Using a Scoring Tool I scored the pieces of cardstock. On the long side at 1¾”, 2¼”, 4 and 4½” and on the short side at ½”.

The small tab at the bottom of the ½” panel was removed using sharp scissors and a wedge removed from the bottom of the ½” panel. I cut up the sides of both of the small tabs then folded and burnished all of the scorelines.

I inserted the chocolate Freddo and pinched the top on both side to nip the pouch together and punched a ¼” hole through the back and the front of the pouch.

I fed some ribbon through the hole to close the pouch.

Aren’t they sweet?

Happy Bunny Card

Today I am sharing a card made for the daughter of a friend who has just become an auntie for the first time. The baby is a boy but Emma loves pink, so pink it had to be.

Colours in this project are:

 

To recreate the happy bunny card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
More Dazzle card – 4” by 2½”
Basic White card – 4” by 2½”

The clouds were stamped across the top of the Thick Basic White card front in Balmy Blue ink.

The group of flowers were stamped along the bottom of the card base in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used Balmy Blue, Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam Blends to colour in the flowers and leaves.
