Playing Around

Hi and sorry it's been so long since I last posted. Not a good start really. It's been one of those weeks, and have spent more time running around like a flea in a fit, than I have sitting down doing this sort of thing.

Anyway, I'm here now and I would like to show you a cute little project I had a chance to make that Juliette Riddell (my upline) showed us. They are quite easy, effective and a great gift.

They are quite cute and are the 19 x 21 cm. Scored from the 1cm in on the 21cm side. Then at 9cm, 10cm and 18 cm. Fold and tape. Decorate as you like. We've used Stitched Stockings. I decided on Pear Pizzazz and Poppy Parade as the colours. I put a brad in the bottom so the pad won't slip through.

I hope you get some inspiration for a easy gift. Have a great day.

New Baby's on the Block

Well, I did say there were a few to get through, so here's another...
We've had a spate of babies in the neighbourhood lately, so I thought I'd share what I've been making. I will say, they've all been boys too.

I had fun making this one. The stamp is "Bringing Baby", and the cards used are Whisper White, Marina Mist and Crumb Cake. It's nice with this stamp to be able to choose what colours you wish to use. So the Stampin' Write are great for this. The stork is Daffodil Delight, with Pretty in Pink and Marina Mist for accents. The embossing folder is Perfect Polka Dots, and the Pinking Hearts border punch. The "hello baby" is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments. Ribbon is Marina Mist and a clear rhinestone brad for added bling.

This one is similar colours, using the patterned DSP in Baja Breeze, and the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder. The large oval is off the oval original dies for the Big Shot. The organza ribbon makes a sweet embellishment for this card.

And lastly, we have the Stitched Stockings stamp made into booties. Similar colours again. Something about those colours at present. The Crumb Cake seam binding is so easy to use as the bow. The pearls just finish it off.

Well that's it for me for today. A busy day to start out I think, so hopefully you've enjoyed looking at my creations. If you'd like to order anything from these projects, order a catalogue or to host a party don't hesitate to contact me.
Cheers, Dee
