Stamp-a-Stack

Two weeks ago I held my monthly card class and this month it was a stamp-a-stack. We made 4 each of 3 designs.

This card involved very little stamping at all! I chose the stripey paper from the Washington Apple DSP and we then punched out stars in co-ordinating colours. We used the scallop edge punch along the bottom of the the DSP and added a strip of Riding Hood Red card.

Have you got the impression that I love the butterfly from the Great Friends set? Well I do!! I used Pink Pirouette, Regal Rose and Kiwi Kiss card and ink. We used the leaf sprig as a background stamp and used the Eyelet border punch to give a decorative edge to the Kiwi card.

For the last card, I went a little out of my comfort zone and chose brighter colours: Old Olive, Summer Sun, Ballet Blue and Pixie Pink. I just love the animals from the In the Wild stamp set. We stamped the animals and then layered them on matching squares. We used the large oval and scallop oval punches to mount the greeting.

The girls all had a great time.

Cheers

Miss Amanda

One of my DS’s preschool teacher left today to have her 2nd baby. Miss Amanda has been just brilliant with James. She takes none of his rubbish and has not been taken in by his dazzling smile and his “I wouldn’t do that” ways. LOL So I decided that I would make her a little gift box filled with baby goodies. Now I got the template for the box from Sue Denning. I just love how simple her instructions were to follow and how easy it was to make.

For the box, I used Ruby Red and So Saffron Cardstock and Washington Apple DSP. I stamped animals from In the Wild in co-ordinating colours to decorates the box. I also used some Apricot Appeal and Bashful Blue ribbon to finish it off.

I also made a card to go with the box using the same colours and left over bits that didn’t make it to the box. The only thing I added was some Riding Hood Red taffeta ribbon.

Miss Amanda loved the box and was touched by the gift. Thanks so much to Sue for sharing your great gift box.

Cheers Chrissie
