blossom into springtime

Man oh man, busy weekend - filled with work, people turning up at the wrong time, cooking and cleaning and some waking up late! Well despite everything both Mums seemed to have a good time yesterday on omther's day - I cooked diner for them. Yum!  

Anyway its a gorgeous day today so I thought I'd show you one of the sweet cards that we made this month at card club! 

Birthday Blossoms

Stamp Set: Simply Soft (Hostess), Teeny Tiny Wishes

Ink: Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, Pear Pizzazz, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso

Cardstock: Pretty in Pink, Very Vanilla

Punch: Decorative Label

Accessories: Champagne Shimmer Mist

Extras: Sponge

So I stamped the blossoms several times and coloured them in with my stampin' write markers. I stamped the seniment on a strap piece of cardstock and punched it out with half the decorative label punch. I also filled in a little bit of the dead space with a few of the little blossoms. I sponged the pretty in pink cardstock with some regal rose ink and then adhered everything together! Finally I spritzed it with champagne shimmer mist for some sparkly shine! 

Have a lovely day everyone!

soft sympathy

Sympathy cards are some of the hardest cards one has to make - they're not really cards I really enjoy making because there's always a sad reason why its being made. Anyway I have a little sympathy card I made this week to show you. 

Stamp Set: Teeny Tiny Wishes, Simply Soft

Ink: Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Early Espresso, Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, Pear Pizzazz

Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Pretty in Pink, Soft Suede

Ribbon: Pretty in Pink Satin

Accessories: Champagne Shimmer Paint (Mist)=

I stamped and coloured in the blossoms from the Simply Soft stamp set and then mounted on some Soft Suede and Pretty in Pink cardstock. I tied some ribbon around the card and stamped the sympathy sentiment from Teeny tiny wishes below. Finally I adhered the blossom branch to the card and finished it with a glittery spritz of champagne shimmer paint.

Thanks for stopping by,
