All Spruced Up

I made this card about a month ago when I was asked to be a guest designer on Creative Card Crew Challenge, it was posted on my other blog but I totally forgot to put it on here. (I was too busy thinking of my upcoming holiday lol) I have coloured the image using Stampin' pastels, great for adding quick colour to an image and so easy to use. The star embossing on the background was using my cuttlebug and star folder, fabulous for Christmas cards. Well thats the Christmas cards started hopefully this year I will be more organised than last, some people were getting their cards from me on the 24th December, talk about a close one!

Challenge 36 ~ Stars and Stripes

It's time for a new theme at the One Stop Craft Challenge and It was my turn to choose it, well, being the 4th of July I just had to pick 'Stars and Stripes' didn't I? As I have used all Stampin Up products on my card I am able to post it on this blog too (incase you don't know I have another blog for non stampin up creations) Anyhoo, the beautiful 'Summer Picnic' designer papers were perfect for my stripes, I have used the 'Fun and Fast Notes' stamp set for my Stars and last but not least the sentiment is from the 'Cheers to You' Stamp set. I would love you to join in our challenge this week, there is a fabulous stamp set up for grabs for the lucky winner, pop over to the challenge blog for a nosey. Enjoy your weekend. x

And a few more gifts.

Well, I'm really getting some use out of these gorgeous papers aren't I? lol. These are just a few more bits I made for teacher's and helpers. A little box of chocolates means so much more with the personal touch so I just added a strip of Pumpkin Pie card, designer paper, ribbon and Thank You tag to decorate. I came up with the little purse one evening when I was playing about with my papers, a happy accident, I filled this with little chocolate coins. Last but not least is a simple Thank You card using 'Fresh Cut Notes' and 'Fresh Cuts' Stamp Set.
