Medicinal Sweets

One of my closest friends recently had a baby and after seeing these stamps thought of her. Who wouldn't love to receive a little package of 'medicinal' sweets. I decorated a glassine envelope using papers, ribbons and flowers before filling with these cute mini Green & Black chocolates.

Supplies used:

Card/Paper - Basic Grey Kraft Stamps - Waltzingmouse Stamps 'Rescue Remedies'
Ink - Stazon Black Ribbon - Aster Pink Seam binding, Ivory Crochet Lace and Cotton Candy Pink Bakers Twine from the ribbon reel
Flowers - Prima flowers
Other - Handmade clay heart button

Going Postal

The Daring Cardmakers challenge this week is Going Postal!

Postage stamps are an up and coming trend in the crafting world so I thought this week it would be fun to have cards incorporating them! Real (postage) stamps, die cuts, hand cut, rubber stamps or even punched ones. Cards for any occasion but they must have a postage stamp somewhere!

Here's my card!

Supplies used:

Cardstock / Paper - MME Paper, Basic Grey and AWIP Love Kit

Ribbon / Twine - Airmail twine from the ribbon reel

Other - Handmade clay heart button, Prima flowers

Party Time & Homebaked

It feels like I haven't made any cards for ages what with all the other little projects I have on the go at the moment. I really wanted to join in The Shabby Tea Room and Daring Cardmakers challenges this week and have just made it!

The Shabby Tea Room are celebrating their 1st Birthday and the challenge for week #53 was 'Party Time'. Clare asks that you design a CARD, BANNER and/or GIFT with a BIRTHDAY OR CELEBRATION THEME!

The Daring Cardmakers challenge this week is 'Homebaked'. You have to create at least one of your own embellishments for your card and thats it, nice and simple! I made my first clay buttons this week and love how the hearts turned out. I coloured it with Promarkers light pink.


Supplies used:

Paper/Card - MME Alphabet Soup

Stamps - PTI Baby Button Bits

Ribbon / Twine - Orange bakers twine and bay leaf seam binding from the ribbon reel

Other - handmade clay button, Prima flowers, button from the ribbon reel

Honorable Mention @ The Shabby Tea Room!

I'm so excited, I got an honorable mention for my card over at The Shabby Team Room for week #52 Luck of the Irish.

The cards that are entered into the weekly challenges are always gorgeous, from both the Shabby Team Girls and the participants and feel quite 'honored' to be recognised. Thank you so much - made my day!

'Luck of the Irish'

I've not found much time of late to join in any challenges and so misses it. If only there were more hours in the day right?

Well I thought I'd see what challenge was over at The Shabby Tea Room this week and the challenge for week #52 was 'Luck of the Irish'. So I was trying to think of something for St Patricks Day but was not getting very far, then I realised I just needed to use something 'green'. So this is what I came up with.


I used Trendy Trees images and Kraft paper from Pink Petticoat - I so love their shop! Dotty paper is by MME, chalk white seam binding, button and bakers twine from The Ribbon Reel.

Supplies:

Cardstock/Paper: Kraft cardstock, MME Dotty Paper
Images: Trendy Trees images and sentiment
Other: Chalk White seam binding, striped button and apple green bakers twine
