Simply Stampin'

This card is for the current Simply Stampin' Challenge. I heard about this challenge blog from my lovely upline Deb who is now a designer over at the blog!

This week's challenge is a sketch challenge. I love sketches, as they can get you out of your comfort zone and trying combinations you didn't think would work!

Ingredients (all Stampin' Up!):

Cardstock: Soft Suede and Whisper White
DSP: Attic Boutique
Stamps: Faith In Nature (Hostess) and Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Ink: Soft Suede, Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive
Other: Modern Label Punch

Mother's day card, take 2!

Today's card is for my MIL. I wanted to keep it simple and feminine without looking too girly! I've never made a card for her before, but we get along quite well so I hope she likes it! :)

Mother's Day

I can't believe it's been over a month since I posted!! Woops! In my defence I have had a lot of other commitments, especially from my university studies. I have been making cards, I just haven't had time to post them. And even then, I haven't made as many cards as I would have liked :)

Today's card is for the Just Add Ink challenge - Just Add... Mother. I have been wanting to try an easel box card ever since I saw it in my card magazine. I have made the little note card to go inside it as well, and there is a bookmark from my girls to go in too :) This project is for my beautiful mum, who is absolutely awesome if I do say so myself!

Please excuse the printer and blinds in the photo! I have found that the best place to take photos of my projects is in my study/craft room, however I ran out of time to photograph through the day!

Ingredients:

Stampin' Up! Pool Party and Crumb Cake
Kaisercraft These Days paper and die cuts
Kaisercraft Chanteuse die cut
Liquid Pearls (starting to become a bit of a signature of mine!)
Brad (possibly Bella?)
Sticky strip and normal adhesive
Kaisercraft lace
Stampin' Up! Teeny Tiny Sentiments (shoutout to my lovely upline Deb Fearns for this stamp set)
Stampin' Up! Modern Label Punch
