Summer Silhouettes Thank You

Good Morning! 

I've survived the sleep over.  The girls have had fun if not a lot of sleep! 

I managed to sneak into my craft room for some crafting TLC whilst the girls took Jess for a walk this morning.  So I've joined in with Less is More which has a one layer week and we've been asked to do some shadow stamping.  You can create some super effects. 

I've used a Crumb Cake card base and stamped Summer Silhouettes in Whisper White then again in Strawberry Slush.  I added the sentiment from Four You.  Then I was off looking for a small butterfly and remembered Elementary Elegance.  It was just the perfect size.  i knew it would be handy to hang onto this set!  It was also stamped first in Whisper White then again in Coastal Cabana.  

This was so quick and easy to do. 

What would you do?  Love to see your creations over at Less is More. x

Get Well Soon Flourish

Hello crafty peeps!  Thanks for stopping in past today.  Hope you are having a lovely weekend.

I've made a Get Well card today and used the recipe from Less is More which is a one layer this week with a flourish.

I've started with a Very Vanilla card base and made a template of squares.  I then stamped the flourish from Everything Eleanor in Basic Grey.  Sponged round the edges of the squares in Old Olive using my Sponge Dauber.  My little flowers are punched using Itty Bitty Shapes and are Melon Mambo card stock.  They each have a little Basic Pearl in the centre.  I added a butterfly from the SAB set Elementary Elegance in Melon Mambo.  I didn't want the butterflies and flowers competing for attention so stamped off the butterflies on scrap first.  The sentiment is from Delightful Dozen and stamped in Melon Mambo.

That's it for me today.  Off out to do some much needed weeding!  Take care. x

Thanks so Much

in Pocket Silhouettes.  

The challenge at less is more this week is one layer and to use 3 stamps!  Well Mrs Mojo left the building this morning and I've been struggling to say the least so as you can see my effort is super simple.

I stamped two stamps from Pocket Silhouettes and the tiny butterfly from the SAB set Elementary Elegance.  All stamped in Whisper White on a Chocolate Chip card base.  I added a tiny Basic Rhinestone to the butterfly.  You wouldn't believe how many attempts I've had today but that's the way it goes sometimes. 

Hope you are having a lovely weekend.  Thanks for coming in past. x

Cheeky Monkey!!

Good Afternoon.  

We are still enjoying lovely sunshine in the North East but the weather men say it's going to be cooler by Saturday just in time for the Children's Easter holidays.  I'm hoping it warms up again on Sunday!!

Over at Simply Stampin' we have a sketch to follow.  My card is rectangular but I hope that's still ok.  

So take a look at this cheeky monkey!  He's popped a crown on his head and is having a good look in the mirror! Hee Hee.

If you are a regular you will know that I've been having a play with Fox and Friends this week.  As Sale-A-Bration ends very soon, I thought I'd team up one of the sets with Fox and Friends.  Elementary Elegance sprung to mind and I got the idea of making the frame a mirror.  Of course the monkey just fits the bill to be the one having a cheeky peek at his reflection.  To do this I stamped the frame in River Rock on Whisper White and again on a post it note.  Then punched out the centre of the post it note with the Curly Label Punch.  I then stamped the monkey through the mask in Soft Suede.  I added a crown in River Rock with a Basic Rhinestone in the centre.  I kept the mask in place and lightly sponged some Pool Party to look like the glass in the mirror.  

The panel is attached to a mat of Pool Party which has been edged with the Scallop Trim Border Punch.  From my scraps I attached a strip of Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper (another free set from Sale-A-Bration).  

The sentiment is also from Elementary Elegance and stamped in River Rock on Whisper White and attached to a Pool Party mat.  I snipped the ends for a ribbon tag effect. This was all attached to a mat of Poppy Parade with a card base of Whisper White. 

Well my cheeky monkeys have arrived home from school and are raiding the food cupboards.  They love it when Mum has done the weekly shop and there is plenty of goodies to choose from! 

Card - Whisper White, Pool Party, Poppy Parade

An Elementary Elegant Happy Birthday

Monday morning.  Hope you all had a sunny weekend.  We had a super day yesterday, 

t-shirts and shorts, but overcast today.  So back to jumpers! 

I'm flying in on the seat of my pants for the Freshly made Sketches challenge which closes today.  Here's the sketch -

 

and the colours on the right are from the Simply Stampin' challenge this week. 

I've  made my card base Crumb Cake and added a panel of designer paper from Everyday Enchantment matted onto Poppy Parade.  The smaller mat is Baja Breeze with Very Vanilla and I've stamped an image and sentiment from another free Sale-A-Bration set,  Elementary Elegance.  I inked up the frame in Baja Breeze first then used my Poppy Parade marker to colour the crown.  The sentiment fits perfectly into the frame using a Stamp-A-Ma-Jig for accurate placement and was stamped in Poppy Parade.  Can I say what a saddo I am, because seeing the sentiment go into the frame just tickled me! 

I distressed the edges and sponged lightly with Crumb Cake.  I wrapped some Linen Thread  around the left edge then attached to the card.   The little bird is from the same stamp set and I punched it out with the 1" circle punch then stamped again and punched it out with the 1/2" circle punch then attached over the original image with a Dimensional.  Again it was stamped in Poppy Parade and the edges of the main circle sponged with Crumb Cake.

Hope you have a good Monday.  I would like to say Hi to my new follower Lola, hope to see you dropping by often. x
