Perfect Punch at Christmas

Too many things going on, too much to do.  Hope everyone had a spooky Halloween and lots of fun trick or treating.  My two had a ball and came back with loads of loot.  Now the real trick is for me to avoid all that chocolate in the cupboard!

Bit of a late addition to CAS-ual Fridays this week which is to follow a sketch.

I've kept it very simple.  The tree is from Season of Joy and stamped in Old Olive.  Joy at Christmas from Perfect Punches is stamped in Real Red and punched out with the Scalloped Circle.  It's mounted onto a couple of Dimensionals.  Two strips of Basic Black from my scrap box were placed behind.  

Thats all for this evening.  Thank you for coming over to visit. x

Cas-ual Fridays - tic tac toe

Go check out this weeks challenge at CAS-uals Fridays, it's a really fun one.  You get to play a game of tic tac toe by choosing a line and making the card with the elements in that line.  I chose Gems, Punch, Flowers.  So many different variations.....

A friend saw the little pink thank you card that I posted earlier and asked for one in blue.  I decided to make one for the above challenge this time using Pacific Point.  The Tiny Tags little flower makes a trellis down one side and I've added a gem for a little sparkle on the middle tag.

New Baby Boy

Whoa aren't the weeks flying past?  We are already into March and it's week 5 over at Less is More and time for another challenge.  This week is pastels.  Immediately I thought of new babies and conveniently my mother had asked me to make up a baby card for my cousin who is expecting a new baby soon.  You are all witnesses, she assures me they know they are having a baby boy!

So here is my card -

I've used bashful blue as my card blank and stamped Welcome Baby from the recent Sale-A-Bration Punch Bunch set (sadly no longer available) in the same colour then punched it out with the small tag punch and mounted it onto the same colour card.  I then used the 1/2 inch circle to punch out images from Bundle of Love set.  I coloured the little images with my Stampin' Pastels and re created the mobile effect with some silver string I had.  The Congratulations is from the Perfect Punches set and is also stamped in bashful blue.

I let my husband have a look at my card and he said "Oh yes, it's a clock with pendulums".  Oh dear........
