Handmade Flowers ...
Just a quick post today for the challenge at the Deconstructed Sketch based on this great sketch.
I have been playing around making flowers using one of the new In-colours for 2013-15, Baked Brown Sugar and an old favourite Naturals Ivory along with the 7/8" scallop circle punch and the Blossom Party Originals Die. Naturally I just had to create something with them, so I decided to use them on my card to create a little flower posy.
The second card I made for the fun of it.

The Deconstructed Sketch #95
I had some fun making my card for the challenge this week at The Deconstructed Sketch. I tried out three cards using the sketch, before deciding on my final card.
The first card is the one that I am entering in the challenge. I found this really great idea for using ribbon trim here at Threadsmagazine so naturally I just had to have a go. I have used the Pink Pirouette/Rose Red Two-Tone Ribbon as it has a lovely silky smooth finish and was the perfect width for this ribbon technique.
The DSP on my card is from the More Amore Specialty paper pack with a colour scheme of Basic Black, Primrose Petals and Very Vanilla.
My second card is inspired by Jen Shultz. I just love her card so I tried a similar card Stampin' Up style. Not quite as beautiful as Jen's card but not bad. DSP is from the Print Poetry Paper Pad with a colour scheme of Midnight Muse, Very Vanilla, Summer Starfruit and Gumball Green.
My third card is a case of Sheri Gilson's card. I loved the different take on the sketch. I have just added small bottle tops in lieu of the brads, and used different DSP from Parker's Patterns paper pack and Linen Thread as the twine. Colour scheme of Very Vanilla, Not Quite Navy and Cherry Cobbler.
Cupcake Birthday ...
The challenge this week at Mojo Monday is based on this great sketch created by Julee, we could create either a circle or square card. I chose a square for my card.
I got out some of my older stamp sets for this challenge as they had been hiding for long enough in the back of the cupboard.
I have used stamps sets "Bring on the Cake" and "Create a Cupcake" along with the matching punch.
The DSP is from the Print Peotry paper pad and the 2012-14 In-colours paper pad.

Mojo Monday #233
Well, the weeding did not get done today either. I had more important things to do, but I did do a few other things besides make cards. I made 14 bars of lavender soap, measured up my games room to re-organise it into a Creating Space just for me, my washing and finally took my Mum to the doctors, and made 2 cards. Not a bad days work. I only have 2 more days of holidays, so the weeding will have to be done soon (the neighbours will run me out of the street soon or the local Council will issue a fire hazard infringement notice on me).
The challenge this week at Mojo Monday is based on the following sketch.

I saw a post recently with these paper roses made using the Fancy Flower Punch from Stampin' Up. Well I had the punch in my stash of gadgets, so off I went searching the internet on a tutorial on how to make them. I found the tutorial here. Naturally I just had to add the finished rose to my card for the challenge at Mojo Monday this week. I think the finished flowers are just amazing, I made 2 sizes of the flowers and also some little rolled roses to make up the posy.

Mojo Monday #230
At Mojo Monday this week they decided to mix things up and focus on non-traditional sized cards, so the challenge is either a Round or Square option based on the following sketch.
On my card I have use one of my favourite colour combinations of brown and pink together with a little white. I made the flowers that I have used on my card with punches, spritzing with water and scrunching them up to form the flower. The finished effect gives a little jazz to my card along with one of my favourite emblishments, the butterfly.

Happy Birthday
A basic Happy Birthday card using circle punches. It is quite effective stamping the word birthday on the DSP and then punching them out with the small circle punch and then backing them onto a co-ordinating circle made from cardstock. All products used in this card are from Stampin Up.
