Baby Blue Elephant

I'm back with a blue version of my Little Elephant baby card

and cake toppers!

I just love this little elephant and it's equally gorgeous in blue!

The papers are from the subtles 6" x 6" papers

The ribbon has been coloured with a Stampin' Blend marker to tone in.

I used a little grass stamp from Sheltering Tree for the grass and old olive ink pad

The sentiment and little hearts were stamped using Pool Party ink pad.

Grapefruit Grove Daisy

I have pulled out my Daisy Delight stamp set and punch for my card today.

I have a friend who is very ill at the minute and I needed a card

to send into hospital as she is not allowed any visitors.

I think the Natures Poem dsp along with Grapefruit Grove works perfectly

on this occasion.

The sentiment I have used is from the

Flourishing Phrases stamp set inked up in Grapefruit Grove.

I finished the card with some Nature's Twine in matching colour.

I am showing another sneak peek of my Thursday Tutorial

which I have tied in with the card to hold some candles.

Gift bag for hand cream

With all this very hot, drying weather I picked up a few of these hand creams
which I thought would make lovely gifts for friends and family.
I don't know about you but my skin is sooooo dry!

I have a video showing how I created the packaging which you can watch here

I have used:
DSP - Natures poem and share what you love
Card - old olive and fresh fig
Stamp set - Tabs for everything
Ink - old olive and rich razzleberry
Embellishments - linen thread and velvet ribbon
Tools - score board, 1 1/8" scallop circle and 1" circle punches
1 3/8" scallop and 1 1/2" circle punches

Measurements you need:
Card - 8 1/2" x 8 1/2"
score - 2 1/2", 4", 6 1/2", 8"

August Promotion!!

What a brilliant offer, be sure to take advantage of it!

Basically for every £45 (€60) you spend (before shipping) in August, Stampin’ Up! will EMAIL you a code to the value of £4.50 (€6) that you can redeem in September. So it’s Multiples of £45 (€60) – meaning that a £90 (€120) order will get you 2 codes.

Now, you have got to hang onto those emails as I won’t be given a copy of them and as they’re randomly generated, Stampin’ Up! support team won’t have a copy either.

Make yourself a special folder in your email inbox and keep them there. So if you order a few times in the month, each time you get that email, you can file it into the folder for safe keeping.

I hope you enjoy this offer!
