Feeling Pink

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's Inspiration Time over at STAMPlorations. This week my teamies and I are showcasing stamps by our very own Shirley under her label 'The Bee's Knees'.

I decided to work with City Girl ...

... watercoloured inspired by the this week's colour challenge over at CAS Colours & Sketches and finished off with a sentiment from Baby Bump.

I am entering my card at:

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's Inspiration Time over at STAMPlorations. This week my teamies and I are showcasing stamps by our very own Shirley under her label 'The Bee's Knees'.

I decided to work with the Baby Bump to create a CAS shaker card. Here it is ...

It's a pretty straight forward card to make. The baby bump got sandwiched between the frame and acetate and the little sprinkles are tiny nail embellishments, the ones you can easily pick up in any supermarket or £shop.

As mentioned earlier, this week we are showcasing stamps designed by our very own Shirley under her label 'The Bee's Knees'. All her sets will be reduced by 10% apart from the Houses Extras and Two Of Us both of  which will be 20% off.

Of course Shery will still draw a winner at random from all the comments left on this month's Inspiration Posts over on the STAMPlorations Blog. Pop over to see what my teamies created and to leave a comment for your entry into their prize draw.

That's it from me for today. Have a lovely week!

All Things Baby

Hi Everybody,

I am back again today with a traditionsl take on the washing line as my contribution the the Inspiration Post over at STAMPlorations.

I stamped the little vests from the Baby Bump set on watercolour paper, added the little flowers from the Grunge Floral Strips, watercoloured around the vests using colour from a blue marker pen scribbled on an acrylic block, drew my washing line, stamped the sentiment, layered on gingham paper and added some faux stitching, card Candi and gems to finish.

I would like to enter my card at:
613 Avenue Create - Anything Goes with the optional twist of Let's Celebrate

I am going to keep it short and sweet today. If you fancy CASEing any of our cards, you can also link your creation up at the Inspiration CASE Playground. There will also be prize draws, for all the information and to see the fabulous projects my teamies have made pop over to STAMPlorations.

Off packing eBay parcels, back soon ...

Have a lovely day!

STAMPlorations April Blog Hop Day 2

Hi All,
Welcome to Day 2 of the STAMPlorations April Stamp Release Blog Hop. Today we are introducing you to the The Bee's Knees BABY BUMP set, a set of 4 images and 5 sentiment elements.

For today's card, I combined with the Heaven Sent set due to feature on day 4 of our hop.

I decided to use use the sketch Quick Cards Made Easy posted on their Facebook page April 13 as my starting point. I cut my panels to size and randomly stamped my images and sentiment (congratulations) in yellow, orange, pink, green, blue and turquoise before edging them in blue and adding some faux stitching in blue too. I embossed a piece of white card, edged and added some faux stitching too. I then stamped, coloured and fuzzy cut my pregnant lady before matting and layering on light blue card and white base card as shown. I added my sentiment (so happy for you) and finished off with a few daisies and green gems.
