A couple of little projects

Just to prove that I do actually get some crafting done, I thought I would share a couple of projects that I have made during  the summer holidays. The first project uses  Mixed  Bunch, the Blossom punch  and a sentiment from  Petite Pairs. The card stock is Poppy Parade and Whisper White and a scrap of Designer patterned Paper punched using the Scallop Oval



This next card is made using the Elegant Bouquet Embossing folder and as you can see it got an outing on the card below aswell. The Butterflies are die cut using the Beautiful butterflies Bigz die, stamped using French Foliage and the edges given a little bling with some Dazzling Diamonds. Cardstock colours are  Crumb Cake, Naturals Ivory  and  Pink Pirouette

The last card for today is very similar to the one above, I used some Pearls to highlight the centre of the Flowers, and some old Marina  Mist ribbon that I still had knocking around. The card stock colours are Marina Mist, Crumb cake and Whisper White, a particularly elegant combination in my opinion :-)

REASON TO SMILE



Well, we all need a reason to smile and free stamps is a good a reason as any. During the month of August Stampin Up are running a fabulous promotion. Spend £60 on product and get this beautiful stamp set for free. This set is also available to buy at a retail price of  £18.95 for the wooden and £14.95 the clear set. I think it would make a lovely addittion to everyones stamp collection, really useful for  Birthdays, thank yous, notelets and all sorts of cards
