Team Gifts

These are the team swaps I made for the Bloomin' Buds that went to Telford at the weekend.

They are a smaller version of something our lovely upline Jenny made earlier in the year.
I saw the little reminder pads in The Range a while ago and knew they were similar to some Stampin' Up! colours so I've covered some thick cardboard with Pool Party, Rich Razzleberry and Blushing Bride card to suit.

The stamp set used Butterfly Basics with an added Papillon Potpourri and Flower Shop (with matching punches!).

The clip has a magnet on the bike so they make a super present too.

Froggy loves you lots!

A couple of cards to catch up today.

Firstly, this one using the new DSP called Affectionately Yours:

I've picked out the colours of Watermelon Wonder, Daffodil Delight and Mint Macaron to stamp and punch some butterflies and I've added a sentiment from Cottage Greetings.


And then this rather cute chap is from a new hostess set called Love you Lots.
I've stamped him on Emerald Envy and cut him out and layered up with some DSP from the Playful Palette stack.  The 'you' is in the same stamp set and I've used hearts from the confetti hearts punch to finish.

Using some Lots of Labels framelits I've layered everything on a notecard cut from Very Vanilla card stock.

Club project

Sorry again for the lack of posts - JillsQuills has been rather busy, I hope to resume a more regular service next week!

Pop on over to JillsQuills to read about the upcoming Annual Display of Quilling.

This project was one Jenny kindly shared with us at downline last month and she gave me permission to use it for Crafty Bunch where I was asked to demo and do a make and take last week.

It's a super little wallet, something similar to one Jenny received on the recent incentive trip.

I made one in all the current in colours.

I chose the combo of Delightful Dijon and Tip Top Taupe though for everyone to make so there was no arguing!

This is inside all the wallets.  There is an envelope and small 3x3" card.
I have used matching coloured envelope paper on one set but the others have plain envelope paper, some of which I have stamped to match the card.

Gorgeous Grunge is the stamp set used, Teeny Tiny Sentiments and Papillon Potpourri.

Two circles punches are used for the matching coloured ring on a small square which has been embossed with the Lovely Lace embossing folder.  A little butterfly has also been stamped, punched and added with a matching itty bitty flower.

A washi label punch and magnets are used to close the wallet with some of the in colour lace on the spine.

The ladies all seemed to enjoy the project.

Team Swaps

We had another lovely Bloomin' Buds meeting this week.  Each month we are taking a card to swap with everyone else that goes, this was my card this month:

I chose the scrummy Blackberry Bliss for my card this time.

I've used Something Lacy for the background, sadly this stamp is only available until 2nd June, I love it.

I then cut some 1.5" squares and used the corner rounder punch on just 2 corners which gives a nice effect.

I sponged some ink round these 'squares' and added them to the card with dimensionals.

I've then stamped and punched some butterflies from Papillon Potpourri and the matching punches.

Happy Birthday from Teeny Tiny Sentiments and punched with Word Window and layered on Modern Label.



Ink prices are going up from 2nd June so if you've got a wish list and want to beat the increase let me know - some of our trusty consumables also have some increases if you want to add buffer to your stash.  There are some reductions though and, of course, lots of new things we need!!!

Papillon Potpourri sketch

Many apologies for going missing there - ran out of hours in the day last week but hopefully a little more on track now.

Today's card is my last minute entry to my downline sketch challenge - I'll get another one tomorrow.

I've used the full set of in colours for this one (glad we get them for another year!).

The embossing folder used is petals-a-plenty which won't be available from 1st July!
