Birthday Wreath

Happy Birthday to Karen today with another of this weeks wreath cards!

This stamp set is called Circle of Spring and co-ordinates with the wreath framelits I've already used this week.  The sentiment is also in the set (of 9 stamps) and fits perfectly in the middle.

Main colours used are Watermelon Wonder, Calypso Coral and Pear Pizzazz.

Finished with some Organza Ribbon and White Perfect Accents.

Pyramid Cards

At our local club night last night I showed the ladies how to make pyramid cards.

This was chosen after seeing one of my Brussels swaps and thinking it was a bit different.

I've used one of the colour combos in the spring catalogue of Wisteria Wonder, Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay.

This is one of the sides.  I've used some paper from the Have a Cuppa DSP.

The sentiment is from Circle of Spring and I've layered it on punched circles to match.

This fab flower is made using the Friends & Flowers stamp set and Festive Flower Builder Punch - great to be able to use it for things other than poinsettias.

The final side has more DSP and some butterflies from Kinda Eclectic that have also been punched out.

They are rather fun for something different and think it went down well.

Circle of Spring

Sorry I didn't get a chance to set up any posts before I popped 'up north' for a bit!

See where I went over on Jill's Quills.

Had to have a quick play today and the Circle of Spring stamp set was a must have as it uses the framelits that also go with the Wondrous Wreath stamp set which is the Christmas version, really glad it's back in the catalogue as I loved it and it's very versatile.

Materials used in this card are:
Cardstock & Stampin' Write Markers: Early Espresso, Marina Mist, Sahara Sand
Stamp set: Circle of Spring
Punches: 1" & 1 1/4" circle, Washi Label, Itty Bitty Flower
Embossing Folder: Boho Chic
Pearl Basic Jewels

Keep an eye on the Weekly Deals - the magnetic platform has £11 off this week and the gift box punch board is also one of the items on offer.
