Hello Everyone,
Welcome to 2012!
Hope you all had a fun time celebrating New Years Eve if that’s your thing, it was certainly my thing this year and I went a little overboard with the alcohol so I’m sharing this post with you a little late and a little sore headed on the first day of the year!
I made this cute bag of cards all packaged ready to be given as a gift – Just Saying Hello is the theme and there are 6 cards inside that all say Hello. Stampin Up’s modern label punch makes the handle. How cool is that!
I was inspired by my good friend Trish to make this set and have unashamedly copied her work – flattery gets me everywhere I can tell you! Click here to see Trish’s version of this.
At least I didn’t copy the theme! lol
The decorative papers are from My Minds Eye. I’ve cut one of the paper flowers out and layered it onto a Stampin Up Flower Punched matching cardstock and finished with a chocolate sprinkle from an Annabelles Stamps challenge win a while ago. A great tip is to hand draw the outlines inside the punched flowers for some definition using various coloured gel pens.
Hero Arts Cling Hello stamp, and some sewing underneath really adds a bit of zing. There are also Stampin Up Beatiful Wings sizzlit butterflies here and there.
Choclate Gems that I won at Annabelles came in handy
Here are all six – you can see they are all random colours.
I think that starts the year off nicely – enjoy and I’ll be back before the week is out with my Mojo Monday challenge.
I'll share this card set at the following challenges…
Top Tip Tuesday – Anything Goes – My Tip is to use a gel pen to outline plain images, it really makes them look special 
Delicious Doodles Challenge – Anything Goes
Just Add Ink – Fancy Packaging
Charisma Cards – Anything Goes
