THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!

I just want to thank each of you who take the time to look at my blog. I hope that it inspires you to keep on creating.

I especially would like to thank those of you who put comments on my blog. I am a little computer illiterate (though I am better than I was) and therefore don't know how to post comments back, but I really appreciate those comment.

Thanks again.

Kind regards

Donna

Flight of the Butterfly

This is one of the cards that workshop guests will be making when they go to my workshops this month. Inspired by the I {Heart} Hearts card on page 6 of the current mini catalogue.

Remember that the current mini is only available until the end of this month. If there is anything that you are wanting to purchase please feel free to contact me.

Kind regards,

Donna

Butterfly Box

If you click on older posts down the bottom you will see the tutorial on how to make this simple but cute box.

I used my Crop-a-dile with the grid from the Mat Pack to dry emboss the dots.

Have a great weekend.

Surfs up dude!


I can't take credit for this card. My (nearly) 5 year old son made it with my mum when she was visiting. She saw several like this on Splitcoaststampers.
A simple bt affective card using the Pick-a-petal stamp set, Boho Flower punch for the sun and the ripping technique for the sand and sea.
Awesome work.
Ps. My mum had never stamped before she came to visit at Christmas!

Pun Fun Whale

I think that the Stampin' Up!s Pun Fun whale is very cute.
On this card I have used Aqua Painters to colour the whale in. For best results with the Aqua Painters do a light wash of colour first with a damp (not wet) brush, then go around two adjacent edges with a darker shade of colour.

Contact me today for all your paper crafting needs.

Have fun.

Flutterby

A very simple but elegant card using the Flight of the Butterfly and three punches, the Butterfly punch, the Eyelet Border punch and the Word Window punch. I used the Word Window punch for the words and then trimmed off the ends.
Have a great weekend.

Run Out of Supplies

My mum has been over for 2 1/2 months. After a week of being back home she has already run out of one or two card colours. Which reminded me to remind you to contact me anytime that you need something, I am more than happy to place an order for you no matter how small.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Flight of the Butterfly

I saw this lay out using a different stamp set somewhere months ago. If it was yours than thank you it is fabulous.
I have used the Flight of the Butterfly (the little flower is from that set too), butterfly punch, Riding hood red, whisper white, pink pirouette and sage shadow. I have also used daubers which are one of my favourite effects.
Try it today.

Have a great weekend.
