May Card Class

This month's class was all about

using the Envelope Punch Board 

in our projects.

To start with we created a simple

 envelope to match with our male

themed card.

We also created a mini envelope to add

to the embellishment of our card.

Stamp set is Balloon Bash from the 

Occasions Catalogue and 

the Alphabet Press Embossing Folder, both

products I am going to miss as they

are retiring.

Supplies used:

Cardstock - Mossy Meadow, Early Espresso, Whisper White

DSP - In Colour Paper Stack Mossy Meadow

Inkpads - Mossy Meadow, Early Espresso

Mason Jar notecard, again using the

Envelope Punch Board.

Ink Pads - Pistachio Pudding, Pink Piroutte

Our third project was creating this cute

in this little bag for a little gift for someone

special.

My thanks to my upline Petronela for originally

the Gift Pouch.

Paper Players Challenge - Clean and Simple #109

Today's card has been inspired by the latest challenge on the  The Paper Players Blogspot.

The challenge was to create a clean and simple project and to incorporate paper piecing.

I have used the flower from the Fabulous Florets Stamp Set for my paper piecing.    I stamped the large and small flowers from this set in black onto the Comfort Cafe DSP and then cut them out.  I added some glass glitter to the centres to make them sparkle.

I am so pleased that this stamp set is returning in the new Catalogue, as it is one of my favourite flower stamp sets.

Supplies used:  Cardstock - Midnight Muse and Very Vanilla, Comfort Cafe DSP, Inkpads - Basic Black, Midnight Muse, Old Olive, Stamp Sets - Fabulous Florets and Itty Bitty Banners, Champagne Glass Glitter, Square Lattice Embossing Folder, Itty Bitty Banners Framelits Dies

Mojo Monday Challenge 255

Supplies used:  Cardstock - Rich Razzleberry, Baja Breeze, Tempting Turquoise, Floral District DSP, Framelits - Labels and Itty Bitty Banners, Stamp Sets - Betsy's Blossoms and Itty Bitty Banners, Lattice Embossing Folder, Island Indigo Bakers Twine and Scallop Border Punch
