Christmas Stamp-a-Stack #2

 

I posted (a couple of posts ago) about one of the cards from my last Christmas Stamp-a-Stack.  This is the second card I created for the class.  I like to try and stretch a stamp set which isn't a traditional Christmas set, and apply it in a Christmas-y way.  That's what I've done with this card.

 

 

Stamps: Chalk Lines, Build a Birthday, Wondrous Wreath

Colours: Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise, Rich Razzelberry

Other: Silver Embossing Powder, Dazzling Diamonds.

Build a (quick) birthday....

Hi Everyone.... I'm back!!  Did you miss me?  We have had school holidays, and I've been away from my craft desk, visiting parents, lots of friends for play dates for the children, and tripping interstate to catch up with life long friends to celebrate our mutual '0' birthdays.

 

Anyway, sat down tonight, and whipped these two cards up.   Literally, maybe 5 minutes each.  Not much technically to them, but sometimes, a super easy and quick card is what you need.

 

The first is for TGIF

 

 

And the second is for CAS Colours and Sketches

 

Don't you love the little bit of added detail at the bottom of each card with the scored lines, highlighted by the pearls?

 

Stamp Set: Build a Birthday

Colours: Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Rich Razzleberry, Tempting Turquoise, Smokey Slate, Blackberry Bliss, Island Indigo

Other: Basic Pearls, scoring blade on my trimmer.

 

Happy Stamping.... Manda xx

Floral Birthday Wishes....

 

I saw the colour palette at this weeks Fusion challenge and loved it.....so decided to play along.

 

 

 

I decided to combine the photo inspiration with the sketch challenge over at CAS(E) this Sketch #128

 

 

So....here's the card.....

 

 

 

 

I've used the new Banner Triple punch to make by banner strip, and extended it over the edge of my card base for interest.  I've also created the background DSP.....not sure if it's got a 'proper' name or not, but I really like the effect.  Here are two close ups....

 

 

Colours: Daffodil Delight, Perfect Plum, Rose Red, Calypso Coral, Pacific Point, Black
