Birthday Celebrations

Today I have a card and matching mini milk carton gift carrier I made for another of Philip's friends celebrating their Birthday this week. 

I chose Island Indigo, Pool Party, Calypso Coral and Whisper White to compliment the gorgeous summery Sweet Shop papers. I added ruffled ribbon with a "jelly bean" brad, the sentiments are from the hostess exclusive Happiest Birthday Wishes stamp set.

I used the exclusive Mini Milk Carton die to cut the boxes and made a holder for them to sit in.

This is a photo of a beautiful field near to my house - I googled the flowers and I think it is a linseed crop, the contrast to the yellow field is amazing!!

I plan to get out with my new camera again this weekend.

Pin Wheels

Finally I have got round to making a "pin wheel" card!! I have seen so many around but just never found the time to try it??  I used some of the gorgeous Sweet Shop papers - the colours and patterns are perfect for a Summery Birthday!

The colours are Pool Party, Lucky Limeade, Wisteria Wonder and Whisper White. The edge of the white card is cut with the new Edgelits die, then I used one of the Simply Adorned embossing folders to add a border of hearts, I wrapped some Wisteria Wonder bakers twine around this layer and added some small punched hearts to the scallops.

The pin wheel has a punched circle of card in the centre and a gorgeous Jelly Bean brad, I used a cocktail stick  with a scrap of ruffled Wisteria Wonder ribbon made to look like a neat bow with a brad.

I'm looking forward to half term, hopefully the weather will be nice for a few days out??  Today I'm planning to bake lots of cakes and biscuits as I'm planning to have a nice afternoon tea over the Jubilee weekend.

In Love With Stamping Summer Mini Blog Hop

Welcome to the In Love With Stamping blog hop, I'm sure you will be inspired by the fabulous projects made by some very talented demonstrators using  NEW products available from the Summer Mini Catalogue released today!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully you have arrived here from Anne-Marie's blog

I have chosen to share the yummy NEW Sweet Shop designer papers and matching Jelly Bean Brads.

The base is Island Indigo with the matching ruffled ribbon - the papers are perfect for a Summer Birthday and don't need too much else - although I have used another new product - the Simply Scored Board to make the paper rosette in the centre of the card, adding a matching jelly bean brad.

I think this is my favourite paper - I love the pretty colours of the ice-creams!!  The base is Calypso Coral with matching riffled ribbon and another jelly bean brad. The sentiment is from the Curly Cute stamp set.

I made some mini boxes with the Candy Wrapper die, wrapped with a strip of Sweet Shop designer paper.

I will have more projects to share soon, its time to hop on over to Elaine's blog now!!
