Thanks

We had a lovely time recently at a friends' house so I wanted to make a thank you card. During our stay one of our friends wore a very bright shirt absolutely covered with butterflies (he's quite a big bloke as well so lots of butterflies!)

Butterfly paper is SEI
Sentiment stamps are Waltzingmouse, I've heat embossed with SU pewter powder.

Gift Bag

I posted a link the other day to a free tutorial for making a gift bag. The bags use a sheet of 12 x 12 and are very easy to do.

They're not quite wide enough for a DVD (which was my first thought) so I had a quick look in the supermarket whilst doing the weekly shopping to see what would fit.

The height is perfect for these bubble baths, also Cadbury's chocolate bags.
Handily these were on offer at Tesco so I thought I should buy some, just for your benefit you understand.
So you could see they fit the gift bag. Not because I wanted to eat them, no.

The Twirl ones are delicious ;)

hanglar stanglar

Someone sent me this image of a Hanglar & Stanglar stamp. I like the stamp but the paper she used is awful! The ink looks really pale and my Copics came out all streaky.

I think the patterned paper is SEI and the sentiment is Craftwork Cards.

Birthday Wishes

SEI paper mounted on matt silver cardstock, layered on teal blue (it looks a different colour here but IRL it's not so blue more teal).

The flower is a Sizzix die and the gemstone brad is Making Memories. The sentiment is part of a Whispers rubber stamp - it is actually "Best Birthday Wishes" but I didn't have space for the "Best" so didn't ink that part of the stamp!

Butterfly

I love this butterfly paper, it's from SEI Bridgeport collection and has a lovely sheen to it.

Because the paper is so nice I didn't want to cover it up too much - just a stamped greeting and some ribbon and then mounted on some teal coloured Bazzill.

The stamp is Sincere Salutations by Stampin' Up and is nearly a perfect fit with the SU oval punches (just misses a little bit off the 'd').
