I am still here!

Hi all

Where have I been you ask??? Well good question something happened to my Internet Bigpond changed my password on me and I have been unable to access my Internet or emails since Friday ... As you can imagine I haven't been to happy.

But now I am back on line. Yipeeeee

Hope you are all well.

Stamp And Resist

Hay there!

Here is a cute idea a cute carry bag for sweets or chocolate.

The Bag is made using Kraft paper measuring cm x cm.

Scoring at 12.5cm, 15cm and 27cm this when folded will make the outer bag.
I then stamped the Flower from the All Natural stamp set randomly over whisper white using Versa Mark and embossed the flowers with white embossing powder. Using my sponge dabbers a sponge blush blossom and close to coco inks to completely cover the card. I then took a soft tissue and rubbed over the flowers to make them "pop" I then swiped my close to coco ink pad over the flowers to create more depth. You might have to click on the image to get a closer look. I cut the stamped image down to 7cm x 11cm and mounted it onto chocolate chip. The flap was covered using left over when I cut the card down to fit the front of the bag.


The chocolate chip ribbon is placed behind the image I then cut a slit in the top of the bag and puled the ribbon threw to then tie bow on the top. The bag is kept closed with a small piece of velcro.

Take care
Helen

Thank You Very Much

Hi again!

Since I have been away from my blog for so long I have decided to have a double post today. I have now caught up with all the house work and odd jobs and have had a bit of time for stamping.

My friend Liz came around this afternoon and had a bit of fun stamping and since she has been away on holidays we had a lot off catching up to do.

So this is what I have been up to. Lately I have been trying to experiment with a few different designs and this is one of them.

This cards is made using Barely Banana as the base card, basic black and cameo coral, quite a nice combination I think. The stamp is from the Summer Mini Catalogue and is called French Flair.

If you would like the instructions for this card please let me know and I will post them.

Enjoy you day.

Happy stamping!!!!

Just Chocolate

Hay there...wondering where I have been???? Just so busy getting back into the routine of work again. Jut not enough hours in the day!!! I guess most of us feel the same.

I really like the effect of just using one colour, especially chocolate chip. The base card is chocolate chip. I then cut very vanilla just smaller than the card front so it would leave a border of chocolate chip about 1mm all the way round.

I stamped the flower from Friendship bloom stamp set in chocolate chip.

I then punched a square out of a vary vanilla card using my large square punch and then trimmed around it.

I stamped the flourish from Friendship Blooms tied the chocolate ribbon and adhered it to a larger square of chocolate chip.

I then mounted it onto the very vanilla with dimensionals.

Finished it off with the words stamped in chocolate chip and again mounted it using dimensionals from Stampin Up!
