Butterfly Happy

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's Tuesday and this means it's Inspiration Time over at STAMPlorations.  I had to use the butterfly from Sweetly, one of the sets in this week's release  ...

Yep, I've been using tissue paper again. This time I used it simply for a textured background rather than adding texture to die-cuts which I did in last week's Spotlight Project here.  It adds quite a bit of interest without being over powering. To finish I simply added the butterfly and die-cut sentiment.

If you feel like bagging yourself a bargain and take advantage of STAMPlorations' Stencil & Sticker Sale check out the graphic at the end of this post.

That's it from me for today. Pop over to the STAMPlorations Blog to check out my teamies' beautiful makes.

Hope you're having a lovely week!

Happy Everything, Chickie!

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's Inspiration Time over at STAMPlorations. The theme for this month is SPRING hence I decided to work with the Fowl Play stamp set and combined it with the Happy Everything Phrase Die and the Crisscrossed Stencil for today's card.

I just love playing with these chicks and have them milling round a large sentiment. First I decided on my layout, stamped and masked the chicks, brushed a bit of ink through my stencil, added the sentiments and finished off with a bit of colour on the wings ... a perfect Spring themed card!

Cupcake Inspiration GDT

Hello Crafty Friends!

Today I am hoping that your sweet day will get even sweeter with some Cupcake Inspirations. Shery from STAMPlorations is sponsoring their current challenge and everyone on her design team was invited to become a Guest Designer to which I happily said 'yes'. 😊

There is an inspiration photo featuring cupcakes, but cupcakes themselves don't have to feature on your project. The inspiration can be taken from the colours and theme of the photo which is ...

I am seeing pastel rainbow colours, especially turquoise, something fluffy and something looking like edible glitter. Here is my inspiration for you ...

I felt the something fluffy was calling for wings, hence I picked this sweet little dino, coloured and fuzzy cut it and popped it on a turquoise sponged rays background. The soon to be release 'Happy Everything' sentiment was cut from glittery card, and the punched hearts and gems reflect the joy of making something special. Here is a close-up ...

Please pop over to the Cupcake Inspirations blog to check out the lovely projects everyone made and of course to join their challenge.

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