More birthday Sneek peeks

What a lovely day it has been here in Melbourne - mostly sunny and a comfortable 23 degrees! Though we are thinking of those in South Australia and Queensland today where  some areas are sweltering through a  48-50 degree (Celsius!!) day. I doubt the Air con will cope with that sort of heat….hang in there guys!

In the meantime here is a card inspired by the sketch this week at the Paper Craft Crew.

Again I was keen to use some of the new Saleabration items so that did limit me to ONE stamp set for now LOL!!

It was great that I actually had the label framelits from the Sketch too so had to use them!! The card base is Raspberry Ripple followed by Whisper White embossed with the Dcorativel Dots EF both the EF and the greeting are some of the items available for FREE during Saleabration which I seem to be getting quite a bit of use out of already:-) The Chevrons are punched from Pool Party card stock and raised on Dimensionals and the butterflies replace the circles from the sketch.

Card stock: Raspberry Riple, Whisper White, Pool Party

Ink: Raspberry Ripple, Summer Starfruit, Calypso coral, 

Stamps: See Ya Later *, Papillon Potpourri, Hello Lovely

Accessories: Big Shot, Label Framelits, Raspberry ripple Ribbon, Elegant and Bitty Butterfly punches, Chevron Border punch, Basic Rhinestones, Decorative Dots EF*

*Saleabration item.

Happy stamping until next time.

Summer Birthday and JAI #195

These last couple of weeks I have been focused on finsihing Christmas cards and have missed being able to take part in many card Challenges! But they are all done now - all 57 of them, phew! So now it's time for a card inspired by the Colour Challenge this week at Just Add Ink.

My first challenge was that I don't actually have any Soft Sky or Blushing Bride in ink or card stock - so I have used Pool Party instead of the Sky :-) 

And here too is a first look at some of the upcoming Salebration free items!!

The card base is Whisper White, the next layer of white is stamped with Positively Chevron in Calypso Coral ink and then partially covered with the same colour card using the Decorative Dots EF. This is then added with some dimensionals to the Pool Party layer.

The greeting is from the fun Saleabration set See Ya Later and is cut out and layered using the Oval Framelits. The butterflies are from the familiar Papillon Potpourri set and the button is made from Simply Pressed Clay using the button molds filled with Dazzling Diamonds.

Card Stock: Whisper White, Calypso Coral So Safron, Pool Party

Ink: Calypso Coral, Pool Party, So Safron

Stamps: See Ya Later *, Papillon Potpourri, Positively Chevron

Accessories: Big Shot, Oval Framelits, Decorative Dots EF*, Elegant and Bitty Butterfly punches, Basic Rhinestones, Simply Pressed Clay, Bakers Twine

* Saleabration item

So fabulous to have all the Christmas cards done in time for posting (via the Post office ) and look forward to sharing in some more challenges soon.

Happy stamping until next time,
