Flower Power

Another CASE'd card today I had to try!

Colours are Whisper White and Strawberry Slush.

The background paper is from the current In-Color Designer Series Paper Stack.

A Blossom punch has been used to make an aperture and pricked round with a template from the Occasions paper piercing pack.

A stamp from Flower Shop stamped in Strawberry Slush and punched out with matching stamp sits in the middle of the blossom aperture and is finished with an In-Color Boutique Detail in Crisp Cantaloupe.

Sentiment is from a hostess set called Banner Greetings and cut out with Banner Framelits.

What a lovely sunny weekend it has been.  Two days out watching bike races in the sun and a craft day today - can't share it all yet but some fun bits and pieces to come in the next couple of weeks.

Fresh Print Flowers

A cheery card today in real red featuring the Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper Stack from the seasonal catalogue.

The lovely paper pack features Whisper White, Real Red, Coastal Cabana & Crumb Cake.  The paper is layered on a strip of crumb cake and the 3 big flowers are stamped from the Flower Shop set in ink to match, as are the flower centres from the Petite Petals set - all before being punched with the matching punch of course!

Sentiment from Four You and cut with the Banners Framelits.

The flower centres are finished with the Candy Dots from the catalogue which fit in brad bases if required or can be used as seen here for accents.

Crackers

A quick post today so you know I am still here.

Keep tuned this week for some Stampin' Up! news!!

These are a few little crackers I made for my recent parties to show another use for the envelope punch board - it is such a versatile tool and I have barely scratched the surface with it.

These crackers are made with the Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper Stack from the current seasonal catalogue - a bargain at £6.25 if I do say so myself.

A few score lines in one of the pieces and a few punches later and you have these - I think they are great and ideal little favours or place settings.

Don't forget to pop back this week (& get saving in the meantime)!
