Belindas borders

Hello.

I have been having a play with the lawn fawn set Belinda's borders.

I wanted to show that you don't have to use them just as a border.

This first card i simply shaped the stamp to make a rainbow.

I used distress inks for all of the colours.

This is quite simple to do.

Although as you get to the smaller parts its harder to shape the stamp without it trying to pop up lol.

I used two lawn fawn alphabet stamp sets you can see them here.

For this card  used the stamp in layers of similar colours going from dark to light..

Then added one of the butterflies from Flutterby.

I coloured the butterfly with distress inks in matching colours.

The sentiment is from Happy everything.

Thanks for looking.

Thank you for being my friend

Hello.

Lots of lawn fawn used for today's card.

 I kind of challenged myself to use patterns  and more colour.

So i got my Lawn fawn Petite paper pad out to play.

I used the papers for the background and to matt the sentiment.

Stamp sets used are ...

Flutter by

Hello friend.

The flowers are heat embossed in white and coloured with distress inks.

I finished the card by adding some liquid pearls to the edge of the oval panel.

Thanks for looking.

Believe.

Over the weekend, I delved into one of my boxes of scraps to make a sweet and simple card. The combination of colours that I chose reminded me instantly of autumn - although I could, of course, have been thinking about it subconciously when I chose the colours. Who knows?

To decorate my card, I've used some of the teeny, tiny leaves and flowers from Lawn Fawn's Flutterby set; finishing off with a simple, sentiment (which is part of the main sentiment from the same set.)

Thinking of you

Hello.

My card today uses Lawn fawns Chevron backdrops...

...And Flutter by....

....And Sophies sentiments.

I used various shades of pink ink to stamp the chevron background.

I stamped the butterflies and coloured with Copics.

Thanks for looking.

Dreams, Make Em Happen

I've fallen in love with this butterfly from Lawn Fawn's Flutterby Set - and although the sentiments that come in the set are perfect - I wanted to mix it up a little. I went digging through some of the older sets in my stash (reminding myself of the little treasures I've collected from Make The Day Special) and triumphantly pulled out My Cute Stamp's Elegant Birds* and Itty Bitty's Dreams, Make Em Happen. Perfection!

* This particular set is no longer available - but all of the My Cute Stamp Sets are currently on sale and there are plenty of similarly, delicious flourishes to be had.

Little Gift Tags

In between projects, I always clear my desk of leftovers, but to make tidying feel a little less like a chore, I like to gather up some of my scraps and make something small. I find it helps me to use up those teeny, tiny scraps while I still have the incentive!

Stamps help with this process, because the smaller designs really make the most of those scraps - and there's very little waste. 

During my last desk clean, I decided to make a few little gift tags. I chose my designs and colours based on a few leftover pieces of ribbon which were floating around.

This first tag uses a sentiment from Cruising Through Life, a little cloud from Bon Voyage and a circle element from Blossom Stackers. Doesn't it look like a little sun when it's stamped in yellow?

On this second tag, I've used some leaves and floral elements from Blissful Botanicals and FlutterBy. The two sets compliment each other so perfectly.

And lastly, a simple little tag made with a sentiment from Boob Tubes and an embellished star element from Learning Year By Year.

*** Please note that although the new website for Make The Day Special is now open, Emily is still working on the shop and we're currently unable to link to each stamp set. We'll let you know as soon as everything is re-stocked on the website. ***

Enjoy the ride
