A sassy wedding card

Good evening peeps, I know I'm post hungry at the mo, 2 posts again today! I have made a wedding card for my cousin, who gets married in a couple of wks and used this gorgeous digi stamp from sassy studio designs, isn't she beautiful? So glam! Lucky for me their Dare to be sassy thursday challenge this wk is weddings to incorporate their new releases! I have also tried my hand at an aperture card (with window) which I think is actually quite effective!



I have followed the sketch this wk over at pixie cottage with the optional extra of doing an aperture card, it is also the theme over at stamptacular to make an aperture card too! Flutterby wednesday are back and their theme is open this wk as long as there is a butterfly. fairy or angel on your card and sweet stampin (today my cardstock is SU) are having a pearls and pins challenge this wk.



My papers are gorgeous right?! Well they were FREE, thats right, my friend stitchy told me about a fab blog called Farfar hill who do the most amazing vintage freebie downloads, I have 2 sets of background papers (10 papers in all) which are just so beautiful for vintage work! My gorgeous flowers are all wild orchid crafts with a bit of sparkle, my pin and pearls are from stash along with my lace and this lovely metal wedding sentiment and my butterfly is xcut, here is a closer piccy of that lovely bride image.



Thanks so much for popping by to see me, don't forget to enter my birthday blog candy if you get the chance, I will ship anywhere worldwide! Hugs to everybody,

Creative cottage No cards allowed DT

Good morning everyone! It's wednesday which means another challenge over at the creative cottage challenge blog which this wk has been set by the lovely Tracy and it is no cards allowed, which means you need to get thinking and creating bags, boxes, tins, tags etc etc (now we understand the inspired door hanger of yesterday!) I have made a pillow box from a freebie download at pink petticoat and have covered it with papers from the creative cottage home sweet home kit which you can buy here, made my little tag and used Prisma flowers and ribbon from stash.





I hope you have found a little inspiration and will join us over at the challenge this wk! We are also having a DT call so pop on over if you love to work with digi kits, Tracys papers are stunning! Hugs to all,

Red white and blue

Well hello! A 2nd post from me? I guess it makes up for my lack of post on monday! I have made a card today using a gorgeous sweetpea stamp I recently acquired, isn't she gorgeous?! I have followed the sketch over at Create 4 Fun this wk and have followed the theme of red white and blue over at sweetpea stampers. I have also followed the same theme of red, white and blue at digi tuesday (my papers again are digi) and the same colour theme is at Pixie dust this wk. Stamp something are asking for something in the colours of your flag (which in my case is red, white and blue lol!) and lastly Paper cutz theme this wk is 4th July (My colour combo has to work forthis again!)



I have used fabby pink petticoat digi papers on my card with a little MS punching, some embroidery thread and some yummy flowers from wild orchids as per the norm. My Fairy is ala Prismas with a little stickles for sparkle.
