Hidden birthday

 Hello crafty peeps, 

I’ve been using a technique called eclipse or hidden word.

I’ve used one of the many fabulous SU background papers,

and the alphabet, word, balloons and twine are all old SU too.

I added sequins to the balloons for a bit of shine.

It’s quite simple if you haven’t tried it, just cut your words, plus extra ones,

Layer them up, including the small bits, lots of videos etc out there if you want more details.

Have a great day

Lesley

Thanks for taking the time to visit, and I really appreciate your comments. 

Stampin' Up! Welcome Baby!

I'd been lucky enough to share some Sarndangling recently.......

what? you say?....... check out Sarn's dangling HERE

Anyhow, I got to thinking that this sentiment stamp set "A Word For You",

would be ideal to 'hang' things from.......

I'd seen various 'mobiles', of the hanging variety, not the phone.....

So, anyway, if you're not bored yet?! ......

I took my Stampin' Up! Itty Bitties stamps (these are REALLY Itty Bitty small!),

my Itty Bitty circle punch......drew some lines and this is the result:

I would definitely say this is CAS (clean and simple),

just hope it's not toooo minimalist? I don't 'do' CAS very easily!

So any comments would be welcome!

p.s. forgot to say how wonderful it is to have this new baby in this world!

Congrats to her mum dad sis grandparents aunts uncles etc etc!

welsh cakes!

Create a Cupcake from Stampin' Up!

was just what I needed for Carol's card....

Also used my fave die cuts at the mo...Apothecary Accents Framelits

The new matching Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack adds some detail.

The shapes on the right have been 'adapted'....

the gold background (yes I know it doesn't look gold, but it is! a lovely matt gold),

has had the centre chopped out vertically,

the pink background has been cut horizontally.

The sentiment is another new set...A word for you....

with a cherry on top!

For Sharon

This was a LITTLE more simple (not a lot!)

Summer Silhouettes again (can you tell yet, it's one of my faves?!)

And the OH SO GORGEOUS NEW ELEGANT BUTTERFLY Punch...

(I'm sorry, but you just HAVE to get this one!),

stamped with Papillon Potpourri (OH SO GORGEOUS TOO!),

and covered in dazzling diamonds by using the clever heat and stick powder first.

The little flower decoupaged using Daffodil Delight Ink,

and some Crochet Trim. 

The sentiment is from A Word for You.....

For Liz

Hello all, hope this finds you well.....

Here's the card I made for my lovely downline, Liz

I used Stampin' Up!' En Francais' for the background,

'Summer Silhouettes', (decoupaged the little flower),

velvet and new stitched grosgrain ribbon,

and some touches of sparkle that don't show up,

using the new Iridescent Ice embossing powder.

The sentiment is from part of 'A Word for You',

cut into a little banner.

We enjoyed a lovely birthday dinner with her, and some of our fellow lace-makers.
