Another Challenge Card

Happy Sunday everyone!!! Very busy Sunday for me as I am off to see the Wizard for 6 hours today!!! Well at rehearsal for Wizard of Oz anyway!!!!!

Here is another card made on our Jems night. The challenge was called Real Black Olives which I got from Splitcoast Stampers! I thought I would try my new Fresh Cuts set which hadne yet been mounted!!!

I think it looks a bit festive because of the colours but am pleased with the results to say it was made in super quick time!

And shock horror for me, a card with no ribbon on!!! Thats quite rare these days!!

Sorry for the short post!!!

Must dash to Munchkinland!

Good News and a card

Happy Bank Holiday weekend!!

I received some fab news a couple of nights ago telling me I had made the Stamp With Us design team!!!

I am going to be sharing the role with some very talented ladies, so well done to you all too! Bekka, Jo, Kim, Kate, Steph, Sara

ON Wednesday evening my team held another Cyber night and we had 2 card challenges. This one was to make a card inspired by a room in your house! The easy option for my would be to do my lounge and use my favourite browns! So instead I went for my craft room which is lilac and turquoise as it used to be my son's nursery!

Here is the card I made. It was made for a special person Elaine, one of my downline. Her daughter was involved in a very bad car crash, but is thankfully going to be OK. I know Elaine has received this now and also our best wishes and love for her and Helen for a speedy recovery.

The card is made with Tempting Turquoise and Lavender Lace, the background stamped with the flower from the Best Wishes and More set and the little flower from Simply Said. The ribbon is Non SU!! and I have used my nesties. Thinking of You is from the Sincere Salutations set.

The butterfly is from the LEvel 2 hostess set and is cut out and added for some dimension. I also added some flat back pearls from the precious Pretties Kit!

Wishing you a good Bank Holiday everyone

Punched Cupcake Tutorial

Good Morning!

A few people have asked me how I did my punched cupcake on the card below!

I have to say I got the idea from Sarah who I think originally saw the idea on Heather's blog in Canada!

You will need to following supplies

Scallop Edge Punch

Scallop Circle Punch

Round Tab Punch

Card

Paper

Brads (optional)

Adhesive

First take your scallop edge punch turn upside down and punch.



Your card will be like this!



Next take your Scallop Circle punch and line it up as below

You should then end up with the top of your cupcake

Take some co-ordinating paper and punch out half a round tab, as below

I have then inked mine around the edges and added the brads as topping! I also mounted the top bit on foam pads to give extra dimension

The finished card

Thanks for looking, if you don't have all the products they are all available from Stampin UP through me, julie.kettlewell@ntlworld.com

Thanks

Jules
