Mocha Morning Thank You's

 A really quick post today as I must get on and do some other things! Some easy thank you cards using the Mocha Morning Speciality DSP, the Elegant Thank You stamp for the two cards bottom right and a stamp from Oval All for the rest. The Elegant Thank You was punched with the Scallop Square punch and the others with the Oval punch and matted onto a Scallop Oval. The leafy branch is punched from the Bird Builder punch and the flowers are from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch pack with a Basic Pearl in the centre.
I am hoping to get a card made for the Less is More and Simply Stampin' challenges sometime over the weekend so do pop back and see if I've managed it! Until then have a great weekend and if the sun is shining, like it is here at the moment, make the most of it :0)

Welcome Baby!

Yes I finally got away from the Punch Art cards (although I have still been case-ing them!) and have a baby card for you today. I used the baby image from All in the Family and the sentiment from Petite Pairs, all stamped in Basful Blue and punched with the small Square Punch. These were matted onto Whisper White which had been run through the Square Lattice Embossing folder and punched with the Scallop Square punch. A strip of Bashful Blue cardstock was cut to fit and the bottom was shaped with the Square Punch then the Scallop Squares were positioned onto this, leaving room to tie round some Bakers Twine on which I had added stripes with a Bashful Blue marker.

Little Boxes

Here are some little gift boxes which are just 3.5cm square and hold a single chocolate, see picture bottom left. I made up my own template for these and it's simply a strip of Real Red cardstock measuring 15cm x 3.5cm which is scored at 3.5cm, 7cm, 10.5cm and 14cm - leaving a 1cm strip to join the box together and 2 squares for the top & bottom measuring 4.5cm and scored at 1cm on all 4 sides. The corners are snipped off to make flaps and adhered to the box on the inside (note only one flap is adhered to the top to act as a hinge). The boxes were then decorated with squares of Holly Berry Bouquet Speciality DSP punched out with the 3.2cm Square punch and one for the top with the Scallop Square punch. A small piece of Real Red Satin ribbon was stuck to the lid under the Scallop Square to enable the box to be easily opened. A flower was made with 2 layers of a flower punched from the Boho Blossoms punch with a Basic Pearl in the centre and a tag punched with the Jewelry Tag punch .
