Less is More Again

Here's my entry for the Less is More Challenge this week. I missed last week's again!
This time it's a one layer card with an 'off the edge' image AND no score lines. Bloomin 'eck, they're getting more and more challenging!!! Well, I've gone for super simple this time and stopped quickly before I overdid it.

 Everything's SU on this one. The images are from Back to Nature and the sentiment is from Whimsical Words (both retired)
The card is WW and the inks are Sage Shadow and Perfect Plum. Sage Shadow is also retired.

Thanks for taking the time to look,



Stepper Card

Today I had a go at a stepper card, which I haven't done for a long time, in fact I think I've only ever made a couple of these before. This could explain why it took me 3 attempts to get the measurements right!!!! Well I was quite pleased with the end result which is a birthday card for OH's son-in-law.

The cardstock is SU - Chocolate Chip and Old Olive.

The inks are SU - Old Olive and Close to Cocoa.

The stamps are SU from Lovely as a Tree and Wonderful Words and the leaves have been made using the SU 2 Step Bird Punch.

The backing paper is from the SU Christmas Jingle Scrappin Kit (The kit is still available but this paper has been replaced by a different one)

Thanks for looking,

Curls and Swirls

Here's a card I've entered for a new challenge blog I found at The Stamp Man. The challenge is curls and swirls.

The card is SU Confetti White and Close to Cocoa. The image and sentiment are Little Claire peel-offs. The flowers and pearls are Wild Orchid Crafts.

Thanks for looking,

Less is More #3

My 3rd attempt at a Less is More challenge which this time is '3 squares'. ( I missed the last one out as my mojo has been doing a disappearing act lately).

My original intention was to make a man's card but I think I chose the wrong colour scheme in the end.

The card is SU - Pink Pirouette and Chocolate Chip.

The images are from an SU set, Studio Sketches ( no longer available) and the sentiment is SU too from Occasional Quotes. This is a Level 3 hostess set which you can get for FREE when you hostess a workshop with sales of £500 or more.

The faux brads are Candy from Craftworkcards.

Thanks for taking the time to pop by,

Happy Birthday Oliver!

It's OH's youngest grandson's birthday this week so here's the card I made for him. No prizes for guessing how old he is!

The image is LOTV coloured with Promarkers. The card is SU Night of Navy and the backing paper is SU DS Paper Patterns Stack in Subtles (Baja Breeze). The ribbon is also SU - WW 1/4" grosgrain.

See you soon,

Valentine for him.

Thought you might like to see the Valentine card I made for my OH. I've been making quite a few cards lately and wouldn't you know it, I was in the middle of making this when he decided to come over and watch and ask me what sort of a card I was making! I hurriedly covered up the main part and told him I was just making cards generally....it was only a little fib. :)

The sentiment is Stampin Up, the flowers and pearls are Wild Orchid Crafts and I finally got round to using my new Nellie Snellen heart dies.

Than ks for looking,
