Petite Petals with Flower Shop

Hi, one quick last post for March continuing my theme with a hexagonal shaped card.


The colours of this card in real life look a little more subtle. I have used a Smoky Slate base card with Calypso Coral for the additional layer. The flowers have been stamped in Calypso Coral ink onto Calypso Coral card and Whisper White card. I have added some leaves punched with the Bird Builder punch from Gumball Green card. The flower centres are made from Candy Dots and Candy Dot Brad Bases. I used a stamp from Clockworks to stamp the swirls around the edge of the frame. 

Both stamp sets - Flower Shop (large flowers) and Petite Petals (small flowers), have corresponding punches and can be purchased individually or as a bundle.

The piece of spotty background paper is from the Watercolour Wonder designer papers.

As in the previous post the base card has been cut using a die from my own stash.

Have a good week.

Banner Blast Birthday Card

Hello and welcome. I thought I had better get at least one blog post in for March, so here is a card I made for my niece's birthday on Saturday. I am pretty certain that she doesn't read my blog so will not see this before she celebrates her birthday.


I have used the Banner Blast stamp and punch set to create the banner with Bermuda Bay ink and Very Vanilla card. I fixed the little flags with dimensional foam pads catching the bakers twine behind to form the banner. The sentiment is from Sassy Salutations and is stamped with black StazOn ink onto Bermuda Bay card.

The die used to cut the hexagon shaped card and the two layers of papers are from my own stash and not from Stampin' Up. 

There are still 4 days left to acquire the Banner Blast Stamp Set and Banner Punch as part of the Sale-a-Bration promotion. During the promotion you can choose one item from the Sale-a-bration leaflet for each £45 you spend and so to get both the stamps and punch I have used here you would need to place an order for £90. For details of all the other items available free with each £45 spent, please see the leaflet to the top right of my blog, and my contact details are as above.
