Rudolph Day in May

It's that time of the month again....25th.....

which means it's time to make a couple of cards for Rudolph Day Challenge,

and 52 CCT (christmas card throwdown)

Here's what I made using the new In Colours from Stampin' Up!.

Watermelon Wonder, Cucumber Crush, Mint Macaron on Naturals Ivory Card

I tried a shaped card using the Circle Framelits,

made a circle frame, and made up a little scene

I inked some areas with a sponge dauber,

fussy cut house and tree,

and added seam binding ribbon

Same die, different shape slightly

Tried a wreath with Painted Petals.....

didn't turn out as good as I'd imagined (as usual!)

So I added some punched Itty Flowers from snippets of card.

I love how I can stamp some of the Painted Petals and punch them out.

Added a bow with a snippet of ribbon,

and seeing as I used lots more snippets,

I'll pop over to the Snippets Playground, as I haven't been to play for aaaaaages,

and there's an awesome prize to win ;)

Happy Bank Holiday Monday

Sheer Perfection Vellum

I was so pleased to have got this free gift during sale-a-bration.

It is the most delightful vellum, that has different designs.

I couldn't resist getting the Treat bag die,

following an awesome training day recently,

which also inspired these colours of

 basic grey, hello honey, and mossy meadow, 

with a bit of lost lagoon too.

Luckily there is two sheets of each design,

so there was enough to make these treat bags, 

that can also be used as an envelope.

I used Painted Petals for the card inside.

These were my swaps at a recent play day.

Thanks for stopping by

Make 'n' Take

Hello again, thanks for visiting,

I REALLY DO appreciate it.

Had an awesome play day recently,

this was my offering as a 'make n take'.

Well, the box didn't 'take'  much to 'make' lol,

as it's one of the kraft gift box sets from Stampin' Up!

However, sometimes it's nice to do simple,

and here we simply decorated it!

Stamped all around the base while still flat.

(you do need to make sure it's the right way up!)

Cut a strip of DSP to make a belly band,

added a stamped label, and some ribbon.

Perfect spring colours, mossy meadow, and hello honey!

Hope you visit again soon!
