Double Post


Our July challenge has started at
and this month the theme is
summer blooms!

Our prize this month is just amazing
so be sure and get your entries in!



I have actually used one of these sets for my card today
called Sent with Love by AALL & Create.

I decided to go with a twisted card shape and made
a gift card pocket and card combined.
You can see the tutorial I used here.

My background paper is from We R Memory Keepers
and I started with that for my front and insides.
I stamped the script directly onto my paper
then stamped, coloured and cut the roses and leaves
and 3d onto my card.
The flowers were coloured with markers.



I stamped the smaller rose then cut and coloured it
and added to the inside.
The sentiment is from a set called Country Birdhouse (SU).

Our July challenge has also started over at
WE LOVE STAMPING
and the theme this time is
Sea and Sand!

We have a gorgeous prize up for grabs
so come and join us!!



As I had this card shape in my brain I decided to do one
for this challenge as well.

The papers are from We R Memory Keepers.
Again I used one sheet, flipping the paper to combine
the two designs.
I stamped the relaxing man (A Good Man SU), onto a piece of linen
texture card, inking the sky, sea and sand.
I stamped the man again and cut and coloured him
and layered on top.
Using another stamp set (Fun in the Sun WOJ), I added the crab and
sunshine.
On the left I made a sign post and added
my two sentiments.


Inside I stamped the sand castle from Fun in the Sun set
onto a die cut circle and coloured it in with markers.
