Birds in a pouch

I'm loving this bird punch!
Finding lots of fun ways to use it too. It's popping up on lots of my projects lately :)
This gift pouch was created for a class. It holds 3 cards and envelopes and would make a lovely gift. I have again used the Autumn traditions paper teamed with Kraft and Soft Suede.
I'll be sad to see this paper go....

All a flutter box

This is a cute little gift box we have been making in my workshops this month. We have used this gorgeous butterfly stamp which you can buy as as single stamp from the Autumn mini. The scallop circle flower is super easy! The very vintage wheel is also from the Autumn mini as is the Autumn traditions paper. The greeting is from the Always set and I have used the wide oval punch teamed with a label from the sizzlits Lots of tags set to create the label. The cardstock is kraft and the ink is Soft Suede. I wrapped some Kraft taffeta ribbon around the box to finish it off,

Two step stamps and a truck

This Loads of Love stamp set is an oldy but a goody!
I created this card for a good friend's birthday, knowing his love of dogs!
I used a sketch from Utah Divas as the basis for my card - love this unusual design!
I think I will be using it again!
I used Brocade blue for the base of my card and created a background with the Happy birthday wheel and added some sponging around the edges. I used blue dotty paper from the Pink Flamingo DSP pack. This is a great pack for bright happy birthday cards.
I stamped the truck from Loads of love and added in the doggies in the back and the driver from the co ordinating accessory stamp set. A stamp positioner comes in really handy here to get them just where I wanted them and I then coloured them in with complimentary colours.
I cut the stamped image into a circle with my circle scissors and mounted it on the card with dimensionals.
I added a greeting and a little stamped image of the doggies which I punched with my small circle punch. I finished off the card with some silver brads.
This is a great male card and I hope to make a few more with this design (which I tweaked a bit along the way...ha, ha!!!)
You can get this Loads of love set and several other Two step sets on special til the end of July...including the beautiful Rose is a Rose! Click on the link to my website for details.
