Golden Feathers

This is another card we made at Bloomin' Buds last week.

The base is one of the mini note cards & envelopes in crumb cake that you can buy in a pack of 20.

We used the Four Feathers stamp set and embossed in gold on vellum and cut out with the matching framelits.

Sentiment from Hey You and finished with some glimmer card stock, designer button and linen thread.

We also used a white gel pen on the dots on the feather which gives a good effect.

Off to Andrea & Gill's party tomorrow so will try & share the make & take - but no sneaky peeks today!

A Blended Bloom

I finally got my hands on the gorgeous Blended Bloom stamp - ideal for colouring with the new blendabilities.

I saw a card very like this on Teri's lovely blog so had to try it for myself.

Colours used are Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow with some Daffodil Delight highlights.

Sentiment from Hey You and punched out with the Decorative Label punch.  The leaves were cut out using the Flower Fair framelits.

Even the gem got some colour from the pens too on this one and I nearly forgot to mention the background - another new embossing folder called Large Polka Dot!

Beautiful Bunch

This card has also used crumb cake as a base.

The gorgeous embossing folder is called Lovely Lace and the flowers are from the stamp set Beautiful Bunch - with matching punch no less!

The flowers are in the new colour Hello Honey.

The leaves were cut using the Flower Fair Framelits in Mossy Meadow and some ribbon to match is under the sentiment from the new Hey You set.

My blogging has been a little shabby recently but I am now officially having a week off but have to share some new ideas with you when I come back!!

Don't forget to keep checking the weekly deals - the fab cupcake punch is on offer this week!

New goodies

My rather big parcel came today with all the new catalogue goodies I had ordered.  I have quite a few but there is still lots on the wish list.

I went out tonight but had to have a quick play so have made a card for our downline sketch challenge.

I was trying not to go for a black silhouette and am not 100% sure about this yet!

I've used the new colours of Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss and Hello Honey for card & ink with some DSP and satin ribbon to match.

The leaves and birds are from a lovely stamp set called World of Dreams and the sentiment (which is a lovely size) is from a set called Hey You - punched out with an oval punch of course.

For your amusement here is a video from the recent training I went to in Telford - a few of us from Jenny's team made the cut!

Give me a shout if you want any goodies or a party!!
