Spoil Yourself!

well its been a few days since i blogged and my aim since last training day is to blog everything i create so here is my creation from this week, this is a card i made for my freind in the birthday club in work, i thought her birthday was this week, well it turns out its not until the end of the month so i am very organised...for a change!!

i love the All Dressed Up bundle for simple quick cards.

Pool Party Baby

This is the card i made for my friend, she has just had a little baby boy, i saw the baby grow style card on Pinterest, i decided to add a bib and stamp teddy bear's head from the itty bitty stamps from the Spring/Summer catalogue

i made a box from Pool Party Cardstock for the card to go in, i stamped the names and heat embossed white embossing powder and added bunting across the top which reads 'new baby'.

My Friend Loved the Card!!

Male themed swap

This week at training day it was all based around male themed as quite a few of us struggle with mens cards....definatly me!! Also fathers day is approaching so we were all asked to go out of our comfort zone and do a male swap, well i always seem to go foe crumb cake when i come to do a mens card, i just love the authentic grungy look especially with the edges blended with a bit of soft suede ink.  I decided to use the distressed dots and en francis and the background as these are quite uni sex stamps depending what colour they are stamped in, i do like a splash of colour so i had to go with pool party to freshen it up a bit, i distressed the edges of the pool party card stock, using my new distress tool, other stamps used were teeny tiny sentiments, bring on the cake and ciao baby all stamped in chocolate chip ink, puches used were word window, petite curly label and curly label, i used the linen thread through the curly lablel punch out, i edges the base card with a faux stirched outline this just finished it off.

i also thought i'd add a picture of my fab cup cake we all got....cookie monster!! Brilliant!

Thanks for stopping by!

All Dressed Up!

My Training Day Swaps, i thought as we are heading into spring and the shops are filling with gorgeous spring/summery dresses it gave me my inspiration for the swaps, using the All Dressed Up bundle and the striped DSP from the Sale-A-Bration Giveaways, the ribbons are also from the same papers, the base cardstock is Soft Suede, then layered with Pool Party CardStock, i stamped the senmtiment with Calypso Coral & Pool Party, i wanted the 'dress' of the Change of Address' stamp to pop out so i used a contrast colour, the flower in the corner is punched using the small scalloped punch and from the same papers.
