Birthday Card for Maggs;

Hello all, i am so sorry for the lack of posting lately, it’s school holidays here and its manic my eldest M, doesn’t seem to be able to be entertained by something for more than 5mins at a time so that’s my inky time out of the window!

 

Well this weekend it was Mr.C’s Aunt’s birthday, and not only being his Aunt Maggs is also a very dear friend of mine, so with out fail i had to make her a card.

I used the gorgeous Level One Hostess set Because I Care because i love the Hydrangea Head.

I stamped the Perfect Plum Base all over with the flower head in Perfect Plum Ink, and did the same on the Crumb Cake Top Note layer with Crumb Cake Ink 

I then stamped the flower head image in Perfect Plum and Certainly Celery Ink using my Classic Stampin Spots on a Whisper White Top Note.  The sentiment is from the Level Two Hostess Set Something to Celebrate, from the Mini Catalogue.  All trimmed with the gorgeously tactile Crumb Cake Seam Binding.  I am happy to say that that Maggs loved the card, she’d already had her birthday present back in July when we went to see Take That at Wembley together.

A Non Christmas Post!…….Baby Blossoms

Morning all! Hope you are well?

Well i thought a different project today, as you may be a bit fed up of the Christmas posts from all us crafters but we have to think early for Christmas as my Friend informed us via Facebook the other day there is only 158 days till Christmas!

So in my before mentioned Birthday order from Stampin’ Up! i ordered the Baby Blossoms stamp set in clear mount, and i had hardly inked it up so on Saturday while Mr.C and the girls went out for a ‘‘Splash Walk’’ i got myself situated and got inky.

Now what do you do while you craft?? Do you listen to music? or have a TV or DVD running in the background? Normally for me its a DVD of some kind and this weekend it was series two of the legendary 70s comedy “Are You Being Served?” which is one of my favourite all time programmes i love all the risky double entendre and the non offensiveness of it all.

And there’s me off topic again! Useless aren't I?  Can you imagine living with me?

So here is my project it is not using your traditional colours for flowers i have used Crumb Cake with Chocolate Chip to stamp the rose heads and the leaves are Certainly Celery and i have used the Pear Pizazz Seam Binding to add texture;

The Celebrate! sentiment came from the level 2 Hostess Set from the Mini Catalogue, called Something to Celebrate.

I also made a stack of pillow boxes to match;

And here is the completed set;

I think that they look pretty effective if i do say so myself!  I think that they would be perfect for a lady that ‘just doesn’t do girly’

Until next time
