More Dreams

This is a very similar card to one I posted previously. It uses the Live Your Dreams set from the Mini Catalogue. The set doesn't appear in the new catalogue :( so you only have until Tuesday to order it. I've also used the in-colours which will also disappear on Tuesday - Blue Bayou and Wild Wasabi. Funny how different the card looks when you change the colour scheme.

Roll With the Punches

This card is very different to my usual style. Very little stamping, but using a lot of different punches. The flower on the left is several (18) bits of cardstock punched out using the small oval punch and put together with a brad through the centre. I used three different colours - 6 "petals" from each arranged to form the flower. It was another idea from the SBS challenges over at Scrap Witch.

Cardstock: Elegant Eggplant, Purely Pomegranate (retiring), Old Olive, Always Artichoke, So Saffron

Punches: Small Oval, Large Oval, Scallop Edge, Corner Rounder

Ribbon: Theatre Ribbon Original set (retiring)

Stamp Set: Short and Sweet

Ink: Elegant Eggplant

Other: Stampin' Glitter (Mini Catalogue), Pretties Kit

More Berry Bliss

This is another layout I've made through the Step By Step challenges at Scrap Witch.

I've used Berry Bliss paper again alonger with Theatre Ribbon, and the large and small Star Punches. The flourishes are from Baroque Motifs (large flourish) and Carte Postale (small flourish) in Basic Black ink. The edges of the torn paper has been inked in Really Rust. The title "Best Man" was stamped using the Rough Edges Mini Alphabet.

I've just joined the Step By Step challenges at Scrap Witch and this is the result of my first week. I've used the (retiring) Berry Bliss designer series paper and (retiring) Purely Pomegranate cardstock (for the letters). The bright flower on the bottom left is made up of a cut-out from the Bali Breeze designer series paper with Flower Fusion pieces and a silver brad through the centre. I used (retiring) Purely Pomegranate ink and the (also retiring) Carte Postale stamp set for the pattern on the Purely Pomegranate letters.

A reminder that the Live Your Dream set is part of the Stampin' Up! bushfire appeal which runs until the end of March. Stampin' Up! will donate 50% of the retail price to the Bushfire Appeal. If you order from me, I will give you 20% off the retail price. This is one of my favourite sets from the current mini catalogue. The card above is similar to a card that we will be making in today's stamp-a-stack class.
