VLVJul2013 Week 4

Hi, I'm back with my card for week 4 of the VLVJul2013 challenge.

Here's my card:

 

 

For this card I've used paper from the Rondelle Collection by Prima Marketing.  The border punch is one from Upikit.  The stamps are from Verve and I've used the coordinating die to cut the label. 

I've added a seam binding bow as per the sketch by Janelle:

 

 

 

Only 1 more to go for this month's sketches.  Will post that tomorrow.

 

Thanks for the visit and have a lovely day!

VLVJul2013 Week 3

Hi everyone.

Wednesday already and I'm posting my card for the VivaLaVerve challenge, week 3 sketch, over at SCS. 

Here is the card that I've made:

and here is the sketch by Jen.

The patterned paper that I've used is from the 'Stationary noted' range by Teresa Collins.  Both the sentiment and leaf stamps are by Verve.  The leaf stamp comes with a coordinating die from the 'A CUT above Dies' range by Verve.  The flower is the Botanical Beauty die set from the Die-namics range by MFT. 
Added a doiley, some washi tape and a button and string to finish it off and I've sewn around the edges.

Week 4 and 5 will complete the cards for the month - will post them shortly.

Thanks for the visit, hope to see you again soon!

Monday again!

Hi everyone.

Hope you had a lovely weekend and that you are ready for the new week!  Can't believe it's the last week of July already!  Monday means a new sketch over at the Mojo Monday blog and this week it's a lovely sketch by Carole.  Here's the sketch:

I have (again!) made a card using papers from the lovely Rondelle collection by Prima Marketing.  Here's my card:



The stamps I've used are from Verve's 'Borderline' and 'You and I' sets.  I love to use the lovely 'U' on my cards.  It's from the 'A CUT above Dies' range by Verve.  The flower die is the 'Winter Rose' and the flourish the 'Leaf-filled flourish' from the Die-namics range by MFT. 

Thank U for the visit!  I would love you to leave a comment if you've got a minute to spare.

Have a lovely week!

Masculine card for U

Hi everyone.

I've had some time to play along in the Mojo Monday challenge for the week.  Julee has, as always, given us a lovely sketch to work with.  I just love Julee's sketches!  Here's the sketch:

I've made a masculine card following the sketch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The dps I've used are from the Engraver Collection by Prima. 

Lots of goodies from Verve used:  Pennant Trim from the A CUT above Dies series, sentiment from the 'You and I' set with the coordinating 'U' die,  Leaf stamp from the 'Bloom&Grow' set and the coordinating leaf die and the daisy stamp (VS-09-PJ016).

A white twine bow rounds it off.

 

I always hesitate to put flowers on a masculine card, but I think it works here.  I really like how this card turned out and I hope you like it too!

 

Thanks for the visit and happy crafting!
