Simple but effective

And for the next instalment I've got a selection of fairly simple but effective cards.

The Kinda Eclectic stamp set is retiring but still available - sadly the butterfly punches have sold out.

The Custom Tee stamp set and framelits are also retiring but there are lots of combinations to be made with both of them - this card just gives a small taster.

The stamp set Big on Birthdays isn't retiring - hooray!
I've just added some colour on this one with Stampin' Write Markers and a touch of Wink of Stella which doesn't show up brilliantly in the photo.

An example I think of how a little can go a long way.

Cozy Critter Fox

This rather cute chap is from the set Cozy Critters which sadly is just a hostess set and only available while stocks last.

He fits with the Fox Builder Punch which is rather fun.

I've used the snowflakes from the Perpetual Calendar stamp set which are handy for covering a background.


Sentiment is from Cookie Cutter Christmas and the fox is mounted on some 'Lots of Labels' framelits.

Seasonal Scrapbook

A departure from cards and gifts today and in to scrapbooking!

This is a page I designed for our weekend away.  Again, everyone designed one so I have come away with 10 different pages which are all super.

The Project Life format was the ideal opportunity to use the large number framelits and many of us did just that.

For my page I have used:

Sheltering Tree stamp set

Perpetual Calendar stamp set

Sprinkles of Life stamp set

Tree punch (for blossoms & apples)

Lots of Labels Framelits

Washi Label Punch

Word Window Punch

Large Numbers Framelits

Main colours used are:

Blushing Bride

Cucumber Crush

Delightful Dijon

Smoky Slate
