Bobby is Hosting Just Us Girls Photo Week.

It's Bobby's turn to Host this week

and is also her First as Designer for Just Us Girls

choosing this refreshing photo below.

I looked at it so many times and my thoughts

went to a Mason Jar filled with pretty flowers.

The jar is from Dear Lizzy and I stamped it with

SU Baja Breeze then added another jar cut from

a patterned piece of vellum (which is a bit hard to see)

I had lightly inked inside the jar before topping with the vellum.

The flowers are SU Petite Petals. One I use so much -

Thanks to a lovely Crafty Friend's Birthday Gift

and a smaller one from my punches.

These were inked in Versacolor Cinnamon

and stems are Memento Pistachio.

You can never have enough Thank You cards

so went with one from SU.

Added some ribbon and a banner from

Dienamics a few pearls and some

coloured cotton.

Again this is popped with foam squares.

Now pop over and see more inspiration at Our Blog

Hope you will play along with us this week

and be chosen as our Chic of the Week

and may be our Guest for June.

Flying High!

 

We have something very different this time round at

Crafty Cardmakers

and it is a something I have never done before.

***

As Hostess of this challenge Jenn has chosen

a 1 - 2 - 3 Challenge.

  1 - Image

 2 - Designer Papers

 3 - Embellishments.

 

 

 

Now it took me some time to work out just what

I wanted to  do with this combination.

I have been in a girly card making mood lately so

made up my mind to try something different.

***

Here is my Recipe -

1 - Image is my stamped Hot Air Balloon

2 - Designer Papers for the background and

the backing for my Image both from 

Prima - Cartographer

3 - Embellishments are Mesh Brads & Cotton.

***

A pretty simple card. I loved the DP so went to

a Hot Air Balloon stamp set

(unknown as it was given to me by a friend)

and the rest just fell into place.

A Simple Happy Birthday!

 

Following on from last week I am again joining in on the

current challenge over at CAS Colours & Sketches

for their Sketch Challenge.

 

 

I had to think a bit before I decided on how I would

make my card and after a few failed attempts I

decided to go with one of my first

SU Stamp Sets - Vintage Vogue.

 It has been retired for some time

but I still LOVE  it.

I stamped the flowers with SU Melon Mambo

and fussy cut them.

My base is white card stock and I then popped

another piece on top stamping it randomly with

the flourish from SU Sweet Summer using

Memento Angel Pink.

I then added 2 pieces of pink mulberry paper

as backing for my flowers.

My Happy Birthday is Spellbinders Sentiments 3

Finished off by adding some Kaisercraft pearls

to the flowers and a few gemstones.

I was really pleased how my card turned out

and think the mulberry paper was just right.

Another cas card to add to  my collection.

Thanks Louise for a super simple sketch.

 

 

I am also entering this card over at

Seize the Birthday

 

 

The requirements are only that it is

A Birthday Theme.

The Topping is optional and this time it is

Floral!
