Weekly Inspiration, Sprinkles of LIfe

My future grandchildren were here today and we played with Zoo Babies which inspired me for today's card. 

                         They helped too! They wanted to put ALL of the animals on the card.                                      Have you ever tried teaching a 7 and 4 year old about less is more? WOW! 

Not the easiest thing to do, I can assure you!

The message, trees and leaves were stamped and punched with Sprinkles of Life

 and the Tree Builder Punch.

The children stamped the animals while I sponged some ink over the So Saffron to give some shading and texture.               

I am pleased to say that Jayden, the 7 year old, knew what it was!

Thank you for stopping by, please come by tomorrow and see the next project?

Weekly Inspiration, Sprinkles of Life

Sprinkles of Life

For today's project I was inspired by a friend who is about to give birth to a little girl.

Adding a few layers of DSP from the It's My Party range and a message from                                                                                         Made With Love stamp set                                                           Matting and Layering again, as I love the effect it gives to a simple flat card. 

This time I stamped and punched the cloud then punched out the tree and cloud shape in DSP.

The 'baby blanket' is supported by Silver Metallic Thread.

This weeks class at the Craft Den

The Circle Card Thinlit is one of my favourites. It gives an unusual shape to the cards and just by extending the cardstock OVER the Thinlit instead of under, you can make an even longer card. These were made using cardstock measuring 13.8cm by 20cm. If you extend the card a little more to 22.5cm, Cut the card once then reverse it and cut again with the thinlit. You will then get a larger card and the two circles almost together. See Below.
