Feminine sport

Todays card! Created using a combination of Great Sport and Blue Label Stamp Sets. I like to add a touch of me to cards, distressing and inking edges are my favourite techniques. 

I stamped the main image onto some printable acetate ( that way i dont have to worry with Stazon), cut it out  and stuck in down on the reverse. 

Thanks Coaches

Real quicky before I go out.

My hubby asked me to make some thank you cards for my sons football coaches. I made them first thing this morning for tonight's Presentation event.

Birthday butterflies

Now I have given this to the recipient I can share it with you!

All inked, glittered, stamped, embossed, punch and distressed late last night! I had the design in my head for a while but only put it together at the last minute!

I started out by making the background ( i used the top one for the base card and the first one to use for the butterflies)

Inside the card

I couldn't find any wrapping paper so I made this box for the present 

I blogged this a few weeks back.

I hope she likes it!

Happy Craftin'

Butterfly Notes

Today I've been planning for a workshop, I don't post many of the makes because I sometimes reuse them, and like it to be a bit of a mystery. However, this one is just too cute and can't keep it to myself! I made a little note book for my hostess from the Beautiful Butterfly die, some DSP, chipboard and with the use of my crop-o-dile I was able to make a whole for the ring.  All finsihed off with a little ribbon tie, worthy to clip onto any bag or purse.

I know this isn't a good shot but I took it to show you just how thick the little note pad is.

Hope you like and and hope my hostess does too! (I may have just ruined the surprise though!!!)

Have a happy day

Terrific Tag

Today I sat down to play! I wanted something with a harlequin design but I have nothing of that nature. So I set about making a stencil from an old play mat of the kids.

I made a template on the computer and stuck the play mat on top securing with some masking tape and  started to cut out where the black diamonds were.

 The finished stencil

I then used a dauber to ink in the diamonds to create a harlequin design on some enchanted paper.

Then I cut out a tag shape and stamped with Everything Eleanor swirls, cut some butterflies from the beautiful  butterflies embosslits folder, a greeting from Precious Butterflies stamp set, a spritz of champagne mist and a few punched flowers from glitter cardstock all tied up with some seam binding ribbon.

Now for the arty close up shot !
