A Little Kindness

I really LOVE the Kinda Eclectic stamp set and so when I signed up for a swap it was an obvious choice

For this one I masked off a central space before layering up the leaves and the rays stamps from the set. Then I removed the mask and stamped the sentiment into that central space.

I decided I wanted to use all of the latest in-colours on this card and with the addition of sponged edges and the punched butterfly I did it.

I added a few of the really cute sequins just to finish it off. As the card base is blackberry bliss I included a panel inside which I stamped and sponge inked to match.

Until next time, take care

Happy Birthday Sunshine

Today is my sister-in-law's birthday and this is her bright and sunny card, which I felt was rather appropriate for the middle of a heatwave. It was made in consultation with her brother - my husband ...I will make a crafter out of him yet or I'll die trying!

I used Kinda Eclectic and Ray of Sunshine stamp sets for this one along with the banner , butterfly  and circle punches and then added rhinestones for a little birthday bling.

I hope that when she opens it it will make her smile

Until,next time, take care

A Little Kindness

I spent a happy evening yesterday sitting in front of the telly watching football and mounting my new stamp sets.  It was the World Cup game Holland vs Costa Rica - which only really got going in the last 15 minutes and then through extra  time and penalty shoot out it was real nail biting stuff...and when I put a sticker on wonky I decided to stop.

Finished the task of adding all the stickers today during the last set of the men's final at Wimbledon... which was not as exciting as the footy.

So anyway that was quite enough sport for one weekend and this evening I decided it was time to get inky and stamp...

But  with so many lovely new stamp sets, where to start? I decided the only way was to close my eyes, put my hand in the box and pull out a set and work with that... so Kinda Eclectic it is...

This is a fabulous new set and for my first sample I decided NOT to use the most blindingly obvious stamp in the set. Instead I went for the leaves, the larger of the two butterflies and the sentiment...and I have to say those leaves are my absolute favourites ever. They are just beautiful and will work perfectly with any of the floral stamp sets I own.  I have of course stamped the other elements in the set and these will feature in another project very soon...but for now its a quick and simple Kindness card from me.

Until next time, take care
