Convention Swap 1

This is one of my general swap's for convention, I decided to make a card front using the NEW cute Polar Party stamp set.

 I really love these colours together - Pool Party, Pretty in Pink and Whisper White.

I stamped the little penguin and coloured it with the marker pens in Peach Parfait, Pool Party and Pretty in Pink, I added a little Dazzling Diamonds for the snow too.

I punched out the image using the extra large oval, layering it with the decorative label punch. I used Shimmery White card and embossed it with the polka dots embossing folder, the gorgeous snowflake is punched in Shimmery White card using the Doily Triple Layer punch, with a gem for a bit of sparkle.

I decided to make the layers look like a wrapped parcel with some of the gorgeous scallop dots ribbon in Pretty in Pink.  The sentiment is from the NEW Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set, punched with the Word Window punch and layered with the Modern Label punch.

Back soon with more convention makes!!

Bright and Bold

I thought I would share a couple of really bright cards I have made using the new sizzix dasies die.  These flowers are so easy to make and you can cut multiple layers so great if your making a few quick cards!!

This card uses some of the bright Sweet and Sour papers, I love these papers - some sheets have a glossy sheen and some flocked, I have die cut a daisy with Pumpkin Pie card adding a button from the Brights Collection for the centre, a quick punched boarder with the scalloped edge punch and a strip of Melon Mambo card. So quick and easy!!

This card is very similar using the Newsprint papers - I have finally cut in to them!  The flower is die cut in Melon Mambo with a button from the neutrals collection and a length of linen thread.  I have made a ribbon band for the centre of the card using Very Vanilla satin and the narrow Basic Black taffetta.

I chose not to put a sentiment on the cards until I need to sent them to someone.  It is a beautiful day here today, sunny and it feels lovely and warm 20'C!!!  I do hope this weather is here to stay, it makes you feel so much better!!
