Chevron Fun

Here is a card I made just because....because I had a new punch and I wanted to play!
With most punches, you use the bits that you punch out, but with the Chevron Border Punch, I usually use the bit that I've punched out of:


It makes a lovely border, and I've made a feature of it by placing some Retro Fresh Designer Series Paper behind it.
Crumb Cake is always the perfect base for a simple card...it goes with everything, and only needs a pop of colour (Tangerine Tango in this case) to bring it to life.

Bold Lanterns

I had fun designing this set of Stamp-a-Stack cards...the strong colours aren't my usual style, but I like stepping out of my comfort zone every now and then:


I do love the Happy Congratulations set, and I find myself pulling it out all the time. To make this set of cards, I stamped the black outline of the lanterns on scrap coloured cardstock and also on the white/grey pieces. On the coloured pieces, I also stamped the lantern 'filler' image in Versamark ink, and then punched out all the lanterns with the 3/4" Circle Punch. I then stuck them over the outline image on the white/grey pieces.
To make the "polaroid" frame, I just used a Square framelit to cut out the middle of my rectangular cardstock.
The colours I've used for the lanterns are Gumball Green, Crushed Curry, Rich Razzleberry and Bermuda Bay. Metallic Buttons, Chevron Ribbon and White twine are the perfect understated embellishments.

Petite Petals meets Perfect Pennants

Sorry for the blogging hiatus...I think end of Sale-a-Bration had me exhausted, plus I was husbandless while Dave was in Denver, Colorado for the World Balloon Convention (yes, that is a real thing!)
We're counting down around here...only a couple of weeks before we all hop on a plane for our Grand Adventure. I was lucky enough to earn the Stampin' Up! Grand Vacation, which is a Caribbean Cruise. We've decided to take the kids, and extend the trip  to take them to New York, Niagara Falls and Orlando beforehand. We're all a bit excited!
I've managed to squeeze in a couple of weeks of classes this month. This was one design in the Stamp-a-Stack class I ran last week:


The colour combo is Real Red, Coastal Cabana and Baked Brown Sugar....pretty, without being too 'girly'. I've used the Perfect Pennants stamp set and matching framelits, and also the Petite Petals stamp set and matching punch (can you tell I'm a matchy-matchy kind of gal?)

TIP: if you're after a quick, cheap and cute embellishment that perfectly co-ordinates with your project, try a punch and a dab of Crystal Effects. Here I've used a small star, small heart and tiny dot (it's a 'sprinkle' from the Cupcake Builder Punch) to embellish my projects, and made them all shiny and glossy with the Crystal Effects.

Sale-a-Bration Sun

I have a few more favourite Sale-a-Bration freebies to show you, before they are gone forever. My own personal fave would have to be the Banner Blast stamp set and matching Banner punch (OK, so that's 2 items but you can't ask me to separate them...they belong together!). I've used it in a slightly different way here, to make the rays of the sun. My sun is peeping out from behind Word Bubble framelit clouds. On one of the clouds I have stamped one of the cute little sentiments from the See Ya Later Sale-a-Bration stamp set.


I'm not normally a 'yellow' person, but this colour combination - Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate, Basic Grey and Whisper White - does make me happy :o)
I made this card for a special yellow-loving friend of mine. Madonna from Bold Badger Design made me some gorgeous wall vinyl for my Craft Space. I hadn't been able to find anything that I was completely happy with, and she was clever enough to custom make it for me. I love it!
You can see my Craft Room wall vinyl on my facebook page HERE (and you might like to 'like' my page while you're there!)
