Sending Happy Thoughts

Here's my make n take at a recent play day,

unashamedly cased from ilinacrouse.blogspot.com

I had the Calypso Coral Celebration add on kit,

and was at a complete loss what to do with the half circles.

I used the waste part from a sticker to frame the sentiment!

Just to show it doesn't matter how much room you have....still stuff everywhere!

Here's the matching set using Watermelon Wonder and Basic Grey

Sending happy thoughts your way for the weekend

Baker's Box

I had a lovely play day recently and made these swaps

using the Baker's Box Thinlits

I'm sharing a few construction pics, so hope you don't get bored!

Tissue paper, a strip of double sided tape, cut into strips up to tape

with glue facing up, roll so the glue is adhering as it goes

take a strip of DSP, add sticky tape, and roll to cover,

then dipped in ink and scrunched

Stamped the box before assembly

added a square of card to strengthen the base

added tags peg and streamer

YOU are so amazing for visiting thank you!

Happy Post

Made this from one of the awesome kits from Stampin' Up!

Sorry the pic's crooked (again!)

Although simple, I love all the elements.

Pretty foiled card blank, thin wooden square,

foil layer topped with printed layer.

I just added the wooden word, and silver ribbon.

You might notice the foiled envelope that comes with!

Garden Guy

For an Uncle who has a lovely garden,

started as part of a berry basket, with some of those garden labels 

and a photocopy of a pack of seeds,

(I know, should have at least bought him a real pack,

but just didn't have time!)

This was the state of my desk.....

lots of discarded ideas, bet you know that feeling?!

I used From the Garden, Gift from the Garden, Guy Greetings.

Wonderful Man

Was a bit time challenged for his lordship's card,

so I took my fave sentiment, hung a swing from it,

grew a tree with hearts, propped a bicycle against the trunk,

sowed some grass, and the sun came out!

Added this on the inside

(photo is wonky)

A quick* card made with love :) <3
