Card Swap Group

This is the gorgeous card I received this month from Aileen, a member of the Card Swap group, where the challenge was a fancy fold card  (Aileen's blog can be found here).
Aileen has used the Sale-a-Bration DSP freebie, Sweet Sorbet, along with the Petite Petals stamp set and co-ordinating punch. The base card is Basic Black with a knot of Basic Black Taffeta Ribbon.

Thanks Aileen, I love it

Notecard

I have a card/notelet to show you today that is made with the Envelope Punch Board. The DSP is a pattern from Sweet Sorbet, one of the 'freebies' in the SAB promotion, and I used Pistachio Pudding for the base card with contrasting Crisp Cantaloupe punched with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch. The flowers are made with the Simply Pressed Clay and Blossom Mould coloured with a Crisp Cantaloupe marker with a few leaves from the Bird Builder Punch. The notecard is a piece of Whisper White stamped with the flower image and part of the sentiment from the Oh, Hello set and sponged around the edges with Crisp Cantaloupe.

Simples Sunday

I suddenly realised last night that I hadn't made a card for this week's Simples Sunday so, using the LIM challenge to make a baby card, I set to and made this very quick one.
I used Zoo Babies again but this time using the cute little giraffe stamped in Blushing Bride. The border is the negative part of one of the Tasteful Trims from the Bigz Die, again in Blushing Bride, with a few small pearls added and the sentiment is also from Zoo Babies. The panel was matted onto a piece of Blushing Bride cardstock and then onto a white card blank.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend

Fancy Fold for Card Swap

The Card Swap Group challenge this month is to make a fancy fold card and this is what I've made. I have used some 'soon to be available' products from SAB and the Spring/Summer catalogue along with Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock. The card is cut from an A4 piece of card and the Sweet Sorbet DSP added to the three sides you can see in the photo on the left. For the middle section I used a piece of Whisper White and stamped with the co-ordinating stamp set, Petal Parade. Both the DSP and the stamp set are part of this years SAB promotion. To keep the card folded I made a bellyband with Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock, cut with the Tasteful Trims Bigz die and added some flowers - stamped with stamped with Petite Petals and punched out with the co-ordinating punch (both of these products will available from 28th Jan in the Spring/Summer catalogue). The card was finished off with a couple of sentiment stamps from Petite Pairs. Close up's of the stamped panel and bellyband are shown below

Hopefully Sue will have received this by now and I hope she liked it :0)
