Bubble over Birthday Card

Today is a cold and snowy day in Essex, tonight its meant to be worse and by Friday we are expecting to be stuck indoors!  

I have made an easy thank you card using the Bubble over bundle.
I use this set a lot as it is a favourite of mine.





I started by stamping the star all over a Crumb Cake background, I then cut a whisper white stitched circle and the small and large bottles.  

Can you see my stripy straw?  I used the Dark Pool Party blender pen to draw my stripes on, easy peasy.

We are still in Sale-a-Bration until the end of March, spend £45 and choose a free item from the Sale-a-Bration catalogue.  Click on my shop button or e mail me for details.

Less is More #365 Dry Emboss Challenge

simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk

Today I have made a card for the Less is More card challenge.  I am to use dry embossing on my card, but not too much as less is more!

I love the Magical Mermaid stamp set and wanted to combine it with an emboss die from the Oh SO Eclectic die set.

 
 



 

The inside of my card.
 
 
I started with some watercolour paper cut to my card size, then I smooched some Bermuda Bay and Lemon Lime Twist refill ink onto roughly where I wanted it!  When that was dry I embossed the leaves around my card. 



Looks like a die for cutting but it's actually for embossing.
 
Then all I had left to do was stamp the mermaid, add a sentiment and stick a few sequins on.
 
Hope you like my girly birthday card.

Ink and Share Blog Hop


Image may contain: text


Welcome to the first Ink and Share monthly blog hop.  We are a group of Independent Stampin' Up Demonstrators from around the world.  We aim to inspire you with some of our work.  
My names Linda and I live in the UK on a small island in Essex.

This month we are working from the Sale-a-bration Catalogue.

My main item was the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set, but I also used the Celebrate You Thinlits and the Shimmer Ribbon both from the Sale-a-Bration catalogue.




I love the beautiful flower stamp in this set, I immediately wanted to make my own DSP with it and thought a box was the way to go.






I made a very simple box using Thick whisper white for the lid and Dapper Denim for the base, I also used Dapper Denim ink to stamp my flowers.







 
I wanted the Thank You cards to be the same but decided to use different blue's on each card.  I was brave and cut my Thank You sentiment but you can mask the 'you' off before inking if you don't like cutting your stamps.








Don't forget to pretty up your envelopes, I like to match my cards to my envelopes when possible.




Hope you liked my project, now please hop along to see Phoebe Borromeo-Carr's amazing work.   Thanks for dropping by.
