Tree for all ages

Isn't it hard to come up with ideas for someone reaching their 90th!

It's amazing stuff to reach that age though.

I thought a nice peaceful scene would fit this lady perfectly.

The stamp set I went for is called

SHELTERING TREE.

It's a lovely stamp set and can be used throughout all the seasons.

I stamped the bare tree in early expresso,

the blossoms where stamped using lovely lipstick, powder pink and lemon lime twist.

I added the ground using lemon lime twist and added some shadows using 

call me clover stampin' write pen.

The little flowers are stamped using grapefruit grove.

The fence was hand drawn using my markers.

The papers are from the In Colours 6 x 6" pad - lovely lipstick

matted on top of powder pink card.

I finished with a white organza ribbon and my sentiments stamped,

cut and mounted on powder pink card on dimensionals.

Citronella candle box

Today, spurred on by this lovely weather and all it brings

I decided to make a little gift box containing some citronella candles.

Am I the only one being eaten alive every time I go outside??

Hopefully these will help and I thought they would make a lovely gift

if going to a barbecue, along with a bottle of something or some chocolates.

I have made a video show exactly how to make it which  you can watch HERE

or below.

I have used lemon lime twist card teamed up with call me clover dsp 

The celebrate die is from the Celebrate You thinlits.

I punched the holes using 1 1/8" circle punch and 1 3/8" circle punch.

Score short side - 6/8", 2 3/8", 3 1/8", 4 6/8"

Coffee break!

I love a nice cup of coffee in the morning! And so does the lady who will receive this card.

I have used one of my favourite bundles 

(today is the last chance to get as a bundle and save 10%)

Coffee Cafe Bundle

1/2 sheet of Grapefruit Grove card

1 sheet 6x6 Grapefruit Grove DSP

BOTH AVAILABLE IN NEW CATALOGUE TOMORROW

I matted everything onto a folded a4 whisper white card

I stamped using Chocolate chip and Grapefruit grove stamp pads

and used the Grapefruit Grove stampin' write pen to colour my ribbon to match.

I have left a space top and bottom to add the Happy Birthday and the ladies name.

The coffee cups are all stamped and die cut. The coffee bean paper I made

by stamping the little coffee beans onto very vanilla paper.
