A Clean and Simple Hello

Hello hello hello,

A quick share of my take on the Clean & Simple FTL132 Challenge this week. It's just for fun, but it goes perfectly with a stamp set that arrived from The Craft Queen this week. This is a Fontwerks stamp set and I just love it, especially as it was half price in the clearance section of their website! Can't go past that.

Here's my card....

 

and here's the sketch....

 

Love the Clean and Simple concept for a quick make card. 

Some Soft Suede and Tempting Torqoise ink a little cardstock and a slip of dotty paper - done!

A Birthday Card

Hello All,

Before we get to my birthday card, I just thought I'd ask what you think of the new background. I'm slowly getting my head around this blog stuff.

Here's a card I made for a friends birthday, just thought I'd share it with you.

I really enjoyed making the leafy background with all the different coloured leaves. I made sure to use the stamp a couple of times each time so that the images faded out. I also like the colours. The sentiment is from a Stampin Up set - one of the 'labels' ones. The bird and tree on the front are from a set I picked up at Sams Warehouse. You could say they are home brand I suppose, but I fell in love with it.

Have a great week everyone, I'll be back to post my Mojo 176 possibly tomorrow, however I have a papermates meeting on saturday and need to prepare a shoebox swap for 8! Might be pushed for time, so I'll blog that instead if that is the case and shock horror, miss my mojo this week!

Oh I forgot to mention that I used a spellbinders label die to cut just the top off the backing sheet. How did I do that you ask? Well it was simply a matter of lining it all up off the edge of the cutting pad and running it through. This way there was no pressure on half the die. easy peasy I say!
