Choose Hope

Hi Crafting Friends

This is the card I made for the CCEE Stampers challenge CCEE2109.

Apparently the 2nd March was Old Stuff Day, for our challenge this week let's combine something older (stamps, dies etc) with something newish.

I used the spellbinders shapeabilities expandable Botanical Swirls die released in 2012 to make the background panel for this card.

I used the Pink Fresh Studio slimline die released in 2019 to cut out a layering panel.

For the floral image and the sentiment I have used stamps from Pink Fresh Studio - Choose Hope released in 2021. I also used the the coordinating stencils and distress oxide inks to colour in the flowers. 

 

Don't forget to check out the CCEE Stampers blog to see the rest of the creations the CCEE Stampers have created this week. You can also see more details of their creations on their individual blogs.

Birthday butterfly

Hi there, I can't believe it has been so long since I have posted a card, time goes fast when you are busy. I had a few birthdays this month so I had no choice but to get in the craft room. This card was made for a 50th birthday, I used the sketch OCCSC15 on the Our creative corner blog. I recently met a friend for our monthly get together and went shopping I purchased this Shapeabilities die. I also made a challenge for this month, for myself to create a card with a bow and button, so many cards out there have them now.I stamped the butterfly in pearlescent coral ink and touched the edges with crimson copper. I found this lovely verse and thought it suited the occasion.

Supplies:

Stamps: Basic Grey - All Natural, Verse - Art stamps Australia

Paper: Vanilla, green, DP- Rasberry Tart

Other: MS punch quilted, brillance ink - crimson copper, Pearlescent coral, Spellbinders Lotus pendant, vanilla ribbon and button, gems

Princess Anya

Hello there,
I am so happy my first ever My Greeting Farm stamps have arrived. Yeahhh!!! I chose Princess Anya for my first card. It was Club last week and our project was to make a Easel card, I love doing projects especially when Frances is there for instructions when you get stuck. Easel cards are very popular at the moment if you look at various blogs you will certainly see one. The card is folded into a z fold with the card front attached inside you attach an embellishment or die cut a verse and attach with foam tape like I did. This helps the card stand up.

Stamps: The Greeting Farm - Princess Anya, Hanna Stamps - Verse
Paper: DCWV- Adhesive paper prints, blue, red & white card
Other: Shapeabilities Pendants Fleur de lis, nestabilities oval, copics, Martha Stewart- Lattice Arch Border Punch, glitter pen, Spellbinders Fancy Tags Die

Here comes the Bride

Today is my Niece's wedding and this is what I made for her. They have been together for 5 years so wanted a wishing well. Earlier this month I saw the instructions for a gift card holder on the Rubber Romance Blog with a slight change I turned into a card to hold money. I have had this stamp for many years just waiting to be inked up. I chose the black, red & white theme because that was the colours used for the invitation, the invite also had some diamante bling on it. I haven't any idea of the wedding colours.
Stamps:Heart Art Studios E4380
Paper: Red, black & white, DP
Other: Shapeabilities Pendants Fleur de lis, nestabilities oval,craft affair- buckle slider, copics, cuttlebug embossing folder swirls, black grosgrain ribbon, word window punch.
