Double Post, double prizes!

Today I am sharing my midway post for our

 challenge at

Stamping Sensations

where the theme is feminine along with option anything goes.

Just remember to STAMP something!!

We do have an amazing prize up for grabs

so be sure and get your entries in.

For my book style card I used a hammered white card for the base.

I cut an inch of check paper for the side,

embossed two lines either side of it and stuck in place.

I added two eyelets and tied some white ribbon

through them.

For the image I stamped the background in sweet sorbet ink,

then over stamped some black polka dots.

I then stamped the two shoes onto matching

and co ordinating papers,

cut them out and paper pieced them, adding some black

to the heels and insoles.

They were then stuck in place.

The sentiment was stamped directly onto the base.

Dress to Impress stamp set (SU)

For my midway post over at

We Love Stamping

where the theme is four legged friends,

I have made a shaped easel card.

I cut my base and top card using dies from

Tattered Lace.

The Country Gingham papers were on my desk

so I used them again for this card,

alternating the checks inside and out.

The dog was stamped using a very old stamp from

Home & Heart and he has been coloured using

my pencils and sansodor.

The sentiment is from a set called

Approaching Perfection (SU) and cut

using the same die set.

I found a very old paw print stamp so used that

in the corners.

Think it was QVC a long time ago!!!

Dressed to Impress

I had a card to make for my sister-in-law's birthday

next month so pulled out a retired set called

Dressed to Impress.

I stamped, die cut and then coloured all the elements

using markers.

I added a piece of scrap to one side, a strip of the green and

a piece of white which I cut with a spellbinders edge die

and slipped another piece of the green underneath.

I cut a bubble square from a set by Lisa Horton,

in green and a smaller one in white for my sentiment.

I used Biggest Wish stamp set in pink ink and added

some white dots when stamped.

All the die cut elements were arranged at the bottom

and I added her name too.

I finished the card off with a bow and some metallic pearls.

I made this card for my midway DT post over at

STAMPING SENSATIONS

where the theme is make it magical.

The stamp set I used this time is called New Wonders (SU).

First I stamped my background using a stamp from

Dressed to Impress (SU). I then stamped the little fairy,

coloured her with markers and blends

and then stamped the sentiment which came from a

stamp set called Dragonfly Garden (SU).

The background of my base card was stamped using the stars

from the fairy stamp in the same colour as the card.

I added stitching around the card using Stitchery stamp set (SU).

The card was finished using a wrap around bow in white ribbon.

And it folds flat!

It's time for our March challenge over at

STAMPING SENSATIONS

and this month the theme is

Stamp Something For Spring!

We have a lovely prize up for grabs so come and join us.

For my card today I have used a lovely new die set from

Card Making Magic called Flower Box & Card.

I have cut the base out using Soft Seafoam card,

layering it up with white and blushing bride card and some paper

from sunshine and rainbows paper pack (SU).

I then stamped the tulips, stems and leaves from

Timeless Tulips stamp set using soft seafoam,

fresh freesia, pale papaya, rococo rose and old olive ink pads.

Each piece has been cut and added to the card.

I die cut some butterflies from the Brilliant Wings dies (SU).

The sentiment is from Dressed to Impress stamp set (SU).

I made a little bunch of tulips to embellish the front

and added a little felt bow. Some wink of stella has been added

here and there for sparkle.

A perfect card for my Mother-in-law.

I hope you get time to come and join us and who

wouldn't want to win that fabulous prize!!

Birthday gift set

I had made this set for my daughter-in-law Baiba

for her birthday during December.

The card was made using Dressed to Impress

stamp set from Stampin' Up!.

The gable box comes ready made so I just stamped one of

the flowers from the Dressed to Impress set and coloured them

using daffodil delight blends.

The sentiment on the box is from Pink & Main.

Tower Flap Card

Sorry for the photo overload but there are so many angles

to see with this fold I felt they needed to be seen.

When I saw the challenge over at

BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE

I had to have a go at the fold Valery-Anne was using.

It's called a Tower Flap Card

and it truly was a labour of love!

I spent the whole day on it, seriously.

But I was well pleased with the finished card

and as it's for my Mother-in-law's birthday this month,

I think it was worth it. She will be 82 this month and still loves

her make up and lipstick and goes to the hairdresser weekly!

We are decorating our small front room which

my hubby used as an office. He's now in my old craft room

at the back of the house and I have moved to a brighter room

at the front of the house which is also the utility room lol.

I think I lucked out there!!

But we thought the small room would be easier to heat in the winter

with all these price rises coming!!

So we will just have the couch and a tv and our books.

Think I should call our house CHANGING ROOMS!

But it does help to keep everything fresh. You would not

believe where you would find cobwebs like Irish lace!

Dressed to impress for Mother's Day

This is another commissioned

Mother's day Card.

I went all pinks and lots of embossing for this one.

The stamp set is called

Dressed to Impress

and it certainly owes me nothing

as I have definitely made my money back on it!

Love this set.

I embossed and inked up the first layer.

Added a layer of melon mambo card,

another embossed layer

and then I cut out the Ornate layer frame

and used the stitched rectangle dies

to cut out the centre of it.

I stamped out loads of the flowers,

the perfume bottle and shoes.

Coloured them with blends

(melon mambo, granny apple green)

and added to the frame.

I stamped the heart from

Meant to Be stamp set

and added the Mummy

stamped using Make a Difference.

Took me a while this one

but just sat listening to some nice music

and enjoyed the moment 😁
