Summer Silhouettes au natural

I've another little gift card to share with you today which I made for my Stampers 6 girls.  I stamped Stampin' Up!'s Summer Silhouettes onto Natural Ivory card stock.  My little collage is stamped in Early Espresso (stamped off first for the leaves) and Cherry Cobbler.  My panel is mounted onto Cherry Cobbler and the card base is Very Vanilla.

And for this months little gift, I made a gift box to match with some choccies inside.

The Friday Mashup is looking for gift wrapping so I'm going to pop this in over there. 

So here is the "Mashup" Challenge:

1. Make a project using "the inspiration photo".
2. Or Make a "Gift project". 
3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a "project for a gift using the inspiration photo above"

 How are you getting on along with your gift wraping.  Mine is all sitting in bags waiting to be wrapped!  I see a date with the carpet, a bottle of wine and a lot of sellotape!

Another Snow Much Fun

I love the snowmen in the Snow Much Fun set.  They are so easy to work with and have been perfect for me to use for my commission cards.  This is another in a set for my Aunt to give to her grandchildren.  This time, her teenage granddaughter, so I've given him a more grown up feel and trendy colours.  

Don't you love purple and green together?  I've used Certainly Celery and Perfect Plum on my card today.  The background panel was embossed with Perfect Polka Dots.  I stamped my snowman in Marina Mist then punched him out with the 2 1/2" Circle Punch.  I've coloured him using Stampin' Write Markers from my subtles pack.  He has a little sparkle on his buttons and pom pom from using Silver Dazzling Details Glitter Glue.  I attached him to the main panel using Dimensionals.  "Granddaughter" and "Merry Christmas" are from For My Family and I used the Decorative Label Punch to punch them out.  Then I attached them under the main panel.  

This weeks cue card from CASology is Time 

It took me a bit of time to think about this.  Then I thought about taking time out.  So my card is about taking time to enjoy the simple things in life such as playing in the snow, sledging, snow ball fights, building snow men.  I'm the first to complain when the snow arrives.  It's difficult to get about and it's cold and I hate driving in it.  But it does make us all slow down, literally.  I've had great fun days with my kids doing all those snowy activities when adults can also be kids again.  

When's the last time you sledged down a hill? 

Ok enough rambling and having said all that please don't snow yet!!! 

I'd also like to enter this into Addicted to CAS which has a code word of Snow.

Thanks for your visit.  Keep cosy. x

Broadsheet Alphabet Monogram Card and Gift

I've a little 3" by 3" card to share today.  I made them for my current Virtual Hostess group when they started the club back in October.  For some reason I forgot to post them.  I also made this little gift, a covered note pad with a magnet on the back.  Very handy for noting down a shopping list or their next order for Stampin' Up!.  Each one was personalised with their monogram on it.  Wouldn't this make a lovely gift for a teacher, colleague or friend? 

The card is Sahara Sand with a panel of Whisper White.  I stamped Circle Circus in River Rock.  The monogram is from Broadsheet Alphabet and stamped in Gumball Green on Whisper White with a mat of Garden Green.  The notebook is the same but with a PC typed title and Garden Green as the card stock base. 

Hope this gives you a little inspiration.  If you would be interested in joining my Virtual Hostess Club then drop me an e mail - ails300@btinternet.com. 

I notice that this fits in nicely with the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches so I'm entering it over there.

Thanks for dropping in past, I always appreciate your visits. x

Glimmery Ornament Keepsakes

A very sparkly glimmery card today.  I love this Silver Glimmer Paper.  It adds loads of sparkle and no mess plus super quick too.  Just what we need to add sparkle to our projects at this busy time of year. 

I've used the colours from Dynamic Duos this week which are Midnight Muse and Silver.  You can also bling it up.

I've used Midnight Muse as my base card and made a ribbon banner from Brushed Silver card stock.  Then dressed it up with the Silver Glimmer Paper.  My ornament is stamped in Midnight Muse and cut out with the corresponding Holiday Ornament Framelits.  It's attached with Dimensionals.  And for extra bling some Basic Rhinestones on the ornament. 

I'm also going to add this to Less is More which is glamour and glitz week. 

Reminder we have some promotions ending on Friday, do check them out I'd hate you to miss out! 

How's your week going?  I'm in headless chicken Christmas panic mode but it all gets done in the end, right?!! 

Take care. x

Snow Flurry Tag

Good morning.  We have a frosty morning today so I feel the colours of my card are quite appropriate. 

I'm so behind with my Christmas cards so when I saw Less is More this week is Glamour and Glitz I knew what I wanted to do.  

I have the gorgeous Snow Flurry Die from the Autumn/Winter catalogue ( do you realise that there is just over 2 months left on this catalogue?!  Where is time going?).  I die cut the snowflake out of Silver Glimmer paper and the smaller one from Whisper White.  I then attached them to a Whisper White tag decorated with a panel of Bashful Blue with a strip of Night of Navy.  How did I get my curve for my tag?  I cut the Whisper White to 2 1/4" so slightly smaller than my 2 1/2" Circle Punch and  threaded the card through the circle of the punch so only one edge would cut.  My card base is the subtly sparkly Shimmer card stock.  That leaves my sentiment from the More Merry Messages stamp set.  You can never have enough sentiments I say! 

Hope your day turns out merry and bright and not shimmery with frost. x

It's Snow Much Fun with Stampin' Up!

My card today is this fabby fun image from Stampin' Up's Snow Much Fun.  Isn't he brill? 

I stamped him in Night of Navy, then coloured him with my Stampin' Write Markers.  He's standing a top a snow hill created with torn Whisper White paper and sponged ink.  I added Grandson from For My Family and punched out with the Modern Label Punch.  The little sentiment at the bottom is also part of the Snow Much Fun stamp set.

This card is for my Aunt to give to her Grandson.  Hope she likes it.  

See you next time. x

What do you do with your Ribbon Slides?......

..................make them into baubles, of course!!

I had another idea for Less is More which this week is Hardware.  I had these gorgeous little Ribbon Slides and wondered how they would look as baubles on a tree so I had to try it out.  What do you think?

I used the pine from Lovely as a Tree as my branches and stamped in Gumball Green, my new fab colour for Christmas green!  I attached my slides to 1/8" Black Taffeta Ribbon with mini glue dots.  if I had had the Real Red in this ribbon I would have used that as my bows but as I don't I improvised instead.  I used the little bow from Create a Cupcake and fussy cut it out.  Yep I even cut into the middles of the loops!  

My sentiment is from Delightful Dozen only partially inked up with a Real Red Stampin' Write Marker.

So will you have a go? x
