A 'Mixed Bunch' card for Tori!

Hey all! Hope you're all having a lovely Summer! Today i have another card i made and gave out during the busy month of July but didn't have time to share with you... a birthday card for Tori, whose birthday it was on the 23rd.

I create an easel cardbase from some 'Night of Navy' card. I glued a piece of 'Melon Mambo' 'DSP' onto the cardbase. The flower was created by stamping the flower image from the 'Mixed Bunch' stampset onto 'Whisper White' card using 'Melon Mambo' ink. I punched it out using the coordinating 'Blossom Punch' and then layered it onto a 'Night of Navy' blossom, the leaves were also made using the punch from some 'Lucky Limeade' card, i glued these all into place and popped a 'Basic Rhinestone' in the centre to add a bit of bling!

I stamped the sentiment (from 'Petite Pairs') using 'Melon Mambo' and 'Night of Navy' 'Stampin' Write Markers' and punched it out using the 'Curly label Punch' mounting it onto a 'Melon Mambo' 'Curly Label Punch' cut in half. I secured this in place using 'Dimensionals' to create a device to prop up the easel card! Finally i stamped the circle image from the 'Mixed Bunch' set using 'Melon Mambo' ink and punched them out using the '3/4" Circle Punch', gluing them in place and finishing them off with a little more bling!!

I really hope Tori had a brilliant birthday and enjoyed the card! She has recently got the crafting bug so hopefully this will give her some inspiration to get crafty!!

Happy 30th Lisa!

On the 31st July it was my cousins fiancee Lisa's 30th birthday and so today i have the card i made her to share with you:

The cardbase i used is 'Lucky Limeade'. On which i layered a pice of 'Whisper White' card. On a seperate piece of 'Whisper White' i stamped the flower image from the 'Mixed Bunch' stampset three times using 'Pool Party' ink and then punched it out using the cooridnating 'Blossom Punch'. I layered two of these straight onto the 'Whisper White' base, trimming the edges slightly. I punched some 'Lucky Limeade' and 'Island Indigo' card again using the 'Blossom Punch' to create the leaves and another flower, which i glued in place and then glued the 'Pool Party' on top. I then stamped the circle image from the set using 'Island Indigo' ink, punched it out using the '3/4" Circle Punch' and then placed a teeny tiny'Basic Pearl' in the centre! Finally i ran some 'Island Indigo' card through the 'Big Shot' using the 'Timeless Type Alphabet Dies' to create the '30' which i glued to the corner of the card. To finish off the card i stamped the sentiment (from 'Happiest Birthday Wishes') on a seperate strip of 'Whisper White' using 'Island Indigo' ink and handsnipped the edges!.

I haven't featured this stampset before it uses the wonderful 'Mixed Bunch' stampset - which i completely LOVE!!! And the brilliant thing is that it comes with a coordinating punch!!!!
