Look whooo...in baby blue

I have just learnt how to make an easel card (and I'm not afraid to use it!!). Today, I've returned to My Cute Stamp's Night Owl which really is THE most adorable set:

The 20 individual stamps it comes with make it endless fun!

And here's the card: 

(materials used: Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pumice Stone, Promarkers, ribbon, button, misc paper)

Butterfly for you and robots for the boys

My card to show you today is using a butterfly stamp from the gorgeous Flutterescent set by Layers of Color and available to buy at Make The Day Special:

I cut a shaped card from Bazzill Bling card and then sewed together my patterned papers before adding ruffled ribbon and the alphabet stickers. The butterfly was stamped using Memento inks on to cardstock before cutting it out to stick on the card. As a finishing touch I added some paper roses.

For the men/boys I made some cards using the awesomely cute robots from the Spaceships and Robots set but I've noticed that this set is currently out of stock in the Make The Day Special shop. However I thought I'd just show you them as they really are quite cute.

I'm sure Emily would be pleased to help you if you want these stamps :-)

Moments in Bloom

My card for you today is from the gorgeous Unity May 2010 kit, Moments in Bloom.  I made a little 4" x 4" card using a nesties mat for the sentiment, and Papermania BP.  I punched out some little flowers and leaves and added adhesive gems to their centres.

Inks - Versafine and Memento

Little Forest Friends

I was inspired by a recent photo of a giant snail on one of my Friend's blogs to use the Forest Friends 'My cute stamps' set which is available now from Make the Day Special. I love the little characters that are in this set and there are so many little extras like flowers, branches and leaves, you can create some lovely little scenes.

I chose to use the little snail and to make a mini card. I cut a scalloped base using my Nestabilities and then cut some new Basic Grey Green at heart paper to cover the base. I layered this with some green patterned paper and some pale blue and sewed around the edges using a variety of stitches.

I stamped the snail directly onto the background with the greeting. I then stamped the snail on to a piece of white card and coloured him in. I cut him out and stuck him to the card using foam pads and added glossy accents to his shell and eyes. I added a couple of flowers and a gorgeous Fimo button handmade by Jane.
I finished the card off with some bright pink stick on pearls.
Have a lovely Friday!

Pretty in Purple

How gorgeous is this Naturally You set?!!!! I think it's my favourite Unity set of the moment. It's the May Kit of the Month as can be bought as the full set or just this half. Check it out here.

Today i have this card using all shades of purple. Very simple to do. It's just layers of Bazzill and paper. The top piece of bazzill has been stamped with the flower stamp and the title foam mounted on top. A touch of ribbon finishes it off.

Thanks for stopping by today.

"Ashley's blossoms" from My cute stamps

Hello, and as the title says Ive use the "Ashley's blossom" set from my cute stamp. I started by stamping using my distress inks Ive then used the same inks to colour the background and added the sentiment. I matted this on to some paper from autumn leaves and i used the distress ink to dull the colour a bit before i hand sewed the edges.

I added a sheet of paper to the inside and stamped more of the image and added one of my own sentiments.
Thanks for looking.
