Chalk Talk Thanks

Hello,
I have some cute and quick thank-you cards to share with you today,
I used some of the Quatrefancy Speciality DSP and the new Chalk Talk stamp set to make these little cards. They are just 9.9cm square and perfect for a little note and you can get 3 from an A4 sheet of card!
Card base is Midnight Muse with a pop of colour in Strawberry Slush and I added a little bit of the yummy new ruffled ribbon Coastal Cabana too...
 The sentiment I used is a retired set but lots of others would work well, you could use; Petit Pairs, Fabulous Phrases or even Teeny Tiny sentiments...
 and here they are all together...
Thanks as ever for stopping by today :-)

Doctor Punch Art with a Tutorial ;-)

Hello there,
I was asked by my DH to make a card for a guy at his work who was leaving to finish his medical training.
I was a bit stumped at first as it's quite a unique theme but finally decided on punch art to come up with this....
I used a colour combo of Smoky Slate with Basic Black and Island Indigo for the 'scrubs'
 the face and hands are Pink Pirouette with Silver card for the stethoscope 
 and as lots of people wanted to sign and wish him luck I added inserts and decorations to both of the inside areas, I love how the small tickets make perfect "surgical masks"
 I printed he sentiment onto Vellum card and added a red cross flag to decorate
 So, these are the punches you need to make this doc...
Word Window, 1+3/8" circle, Modern Label, XL oval, 1/4" and 3/4" circles, ticket punch and the small oval.
 and here are the parts, pretty self explanatory I think but if you have any questions, please do ask.
There are a few more details further down, please scroll down to see. 
I inked all the edges before assembly in matching colours
 the stethoscope was made with the small oval and the 3/4" circle punch adding 1/4" circles to the ends
 and the hands are the ends of the modern label punched with the 3/4" circle again
 
 to make the feet use the modern label again, cut in half, trim a third at the top away and a bit from the back
 flip over the two scallop section left so the longer piece is at the bottom and add laces ;-)
and the finished card again :-))))
I hope you enjoyed today's card and if you make your own doctor then please remember to share it with me, I love to see your creations!

Welcome to the team :-)

Hello there,
I hope you are all well this week? I have had a busy few days with lots of  lovely visits from friends and some of the kids friends too. I love having the house full especially while the school holidays are still here and we have no real time constraints during the day. We are also trying to make the most of the warm weather while it lasts round here too ;-)
Anyway, I have a card and gift set to share with you today before I get some more shh! *Christmas* card making done!
So, I recently had a new team member join the Southern Belles and I sent her this little card, notepad and a selection of ribbon to welcome her to the team ..
A closer look at the card, I used the very lovely Gingham Garden DSP (which is on the 4 for 3 offer this month!)
a close up of the bottle cap filled with matching paper and topped with crystal effects, sprinkled with dazzling diamonds to finish,
the sentiment is from "Happy Day" and was stamped onto a strip of the same paper and added as a banner, I used my marker around the edges to make it pop and added the flowers at each end from the boho blossoms punch
I covered a notebook in the same paper

and highlighted some of the flowers with punched out circles, buttons and giant rhinestones to decorate
Well, that's all for today, if you are interested in finding out more about joining Stampin' Up! with me then please see HERE or email me for a chat or with any questions you may have :-)
I will be back tomorrow with some sneak peeks at my All Day Christmas Kick Start Class I am running in just over a month, hurry to reserve a place, they are filling really fast. Or pop over to my Facebook Page for an early look!!

Whitewashed Wildflower Meadows Card

Hello there,
Last card from the Wildflower Meadows classes for you today.
I love the whitewashed technique (not sure if it's called that? Just me then huh? ;-))
We stamped using White Craft Ink onto crumb Cake with a base of Calypso Coral,
So, once you have stamped in the white, leave it to dry (or blast with a heat gun if you're in a hurry) and colour the image using your ink pads and a blender pen, simples!
 I had a little bit of retired coral ribbon left so went with that to decorate but I wanted to keep it simple to show off the beautiful stamp ;-)
OK, that's all for today.
Back soon with more cards!

Watercolour Effect Wildflower Meadows Card

Helloo there,
I have the second card from my Wildflower Meadow class. This set proved to be very popular with the ladies as they played with it :-))))
For this version we inked teh stamp using markers then spritzed it with water to give this pretty effect.
The colours were Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple, Wisteria Wonder with a touch of Elegant Eggplant and Limeade for the leaves. We stamped it onto Naturals White card as it's a bit thicker and also has that mottled look (click on the picture to enlarge)
 I love the look that spritzing gives, and the fact that every card turned out differently depending on how much water the ladies added ;-)
 a bit more Label Love with linen thread as this reminded me of being in the garden I liked the idea that the linen thread looked like garden twine??
Right, that's me for today,
Back tomorrow with the last card form this class.

 You can see the shine of the heat embossing here too
and a pretty bow finishes this card off
