Mixed bunch

I made these cards a while ago for a workshop, as you can see they are the same design in reverse colour ways. A simple design, an A6 card blank was my starting place, with a mount of tempting turquoise or melon mambo, then another layer of whisper white, stamped with a script background and then heat embossed using the mixed bunch stamp set and either tempting turquoise or melon mambo embossing powder.

The turquoise option.

The pink option.

The stamp is very detailed even when heat embossed as shown here.

The melon mambo embossing looks fabulous.

I hope you like my simple design using the gorgeous mixed bunch stamp set. 

Until next time Happy Crafting Dawn x

Thanks a bunch

Another group of photos I found when searching my computer that I realised I hadn't shown you.

My favourite square base card, my mat is white pearl embossed and layered on to foam pads.

My next layer is a nestability, then whisper white with my stamped image, coloured with promarkers.

Isn't he cute?

A simple tag and ribbon with my selected greeting.

That's all for now, until next time Happy crafting Dawn x

Happy Birthday Chris

Today is a good friend of mines birthday, she adores house mouse so I had to make her one of them and here it is.

A relaxing mouse, just like you should be on your birthday.

A close up of the decoupaged mouse.

A close up of the 3D flower made with the Stampin' Up! flower punch.

 And we mustn't forget the inside of the card, so here is the insert.

So I hope you have a fantastic day Chris enjoy every second, Happy Birthday.

Sympathy

Sympathy cards are a little challenging for me, maybe its the occasion, I like to keep them very simple, here is my effort.

Bootifull lady

A quick post showing another card I have made with these stamps.

Another scrunchy flower!

Buckle cards...

I was looking through my photos and found these of cards I had made a while ago and can't remember sharing so here they are.

They both use Sue Wilson's buckle technique, this was my first attempt so please be kind.

As you can see I embossed the top part of my card and stuck dsp on the lower part. I die cut three frames, choosing my centre one to be slightly different to the outside two, and thread a strip of card backed onto black through the frames, I had to do this a couple of times to get it right (Sue makes it look so easy!) I stamped my sentiment onto the left side and added some black "pearls" to finish.

A close up to show some more detail.

My second card is using the same layout but different dies and colour combo.

This time I stamped the top section and embossed the lower section.

Again a closer look at the detail.

Please leave a comment to let me know which one you prefer.

Until next time, Happy crafting Dawn x
