Worth sharing

Starving blog for want of posts! But now something worth sharing... Thanks so much to Donna for the inspiration based on the card she started at a craft day I attended on Saturday.

Very simple, used a rainbow of Stampin' Up! ink colours stamped across whisper white card. I overlapped Gorgeous Grunge lines stamp just slightly to get all 7 rainbow colours across the card.  Old school rainbow of Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.  Silver Glimmer cardstock used for three of the hearts and the Love sentiment is from the Expressions Thinlits.  My tip, put wide double-sided tape on the back of your glimmer paper before cutting with the Thinlits.  Hearts all adhered with two-way glue pen.

Stamp set: Gorgeous Grunge (130514)
Materials: Whisper White, Silver Glimmer (124005), cardstock scraps for the inks below (except Rose Red - might have been Cherry Cobbler card-scrap).
Inks: Rose Red, Tangerine Tango, Crushed Curry, Gumball Green, Island Indigo, Midnight Muse, Elegant Eggplant.
Other: heart from Stampin' Up! Owl builder punch (118074), Stampin' Up! Expressions Thinlits (132171)

Christmas cheer

A twist on the Peek-a-boo Frames Bigz L Die making a tea light candle surround.  This is open at the top and bottom, but I'd recommend using one of those little battery operated tea lights rather than a naked flame this close to cardstock. I've used 'Be of good cheer' Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up's new catalogue, Cherry Cobbler cardstock and some silver glimmer card.  I also used vellum card stock for the "windows".  The Petite Pennant punch made the tree and the star is from the mini punch pack in the Holiday Catalogue.  Very sweet, easy to make.

Couldn't bring myself to discard the frames leftover from creating the peek-a-boo tea light surround.  So using a card sketch from PageMaps, I made this card using more of the "Be of good cheer" DSP.  Love how it turned out.

Apologies for the long delay between posts and hope you enjoy these two simple projects.
