Double Up!


It's time for my midway post for
and the theme is
anything goes option hand colour your image.
Just remember to add some stamping!!

We have a great prize up for grabs too!!

For my card I used a piece of designer paper and added a
vellum overlay and then ran it through my sewing machine.
I then stamped the bird and leaves and coloured them
with markers and cut them out.
I arranged along the bottom of the card then
stamped the sentiment and punched it out with
a postage stamp punch and added some red dot detail.
I tucked it behind the leaves and finished with a ribbon.

Items used:
Stamp set - Free as a bird (SU)
Postage Stamp Punch (SU), markers,
vellum, sewing machine, retired papers (SU),
ribbon, enamel effect dots (SU).

The flowers have been stamped using a set called
Floral Essence. I punched the leaves
and the sentiment is from another stamp set called
Sweet Ice Cream.
The papers are called Country Lace.
I finished off the card with some gold sequence
and a piece of lemon lolly ribbon.

In the garden


Our new challenge over at
for August is anything goes option summer in the garden.

We have some prizes up for grabs too!!

For my card I went with a stamp set from AALL & Create
and a fun fold on the inside which joins the front to the back.
I also used a couple of other stamp sets from SU called
Sweet ice-cream, Approaching Perfection and Country Flowers.



The inside is where the fun fold happens.
It has a pocket at either side for either a tag, cash
or voucher.

I hope you get time to join us this month.

Fabric at Tag Tuesday





Our new challenge at
has been chosen by the lovely Wendy and she wants to see us use
some fabric on our tags.

I had a hunt then realised my fabric scraps are all out
in the garden house, probably buried under a mountain
of furniture and bags that my daughter has been storing
before she moves into her new house.
So I found some little organza bags and thought
they would do the job.

I used some retired papers for the tag,
mounted onto some kraft paper.
I stamped the sentiment and around the edges using
Sweet Ice Cream stamp set from Stampin' Up!
I stuck the back using double sided tape.
I made a loose band with sentiment to
go across the back and finished with some linen thread.
Perfect tag for added some birthday money to.

It is a very hot day today!
We planned to head to Omeath to the beach
but after a quick visit to the shops for necessities
we both felt it was too hot to sit in car.
So a nice day will be spent in the garden,
lunch, reading and relaxing!
Have a lovely weekend everyone!
