Pretty Petals!

The new Catalogue includes a great new punch/stamp set bundle called "Petite Petals!"   With all of this winter weather I feel like this little set brings spring into your home.   Below is a birthday card I made using this set.  I used some retired products I have had hanging around my craft room.

When I saw these little flowers they screamed "Chalks" to me.  I used versamark to stamp the flowers and then used chalks and rubbed them over the stamped images.  I love this technique, it is colourful, fun and easy.  I used Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, and Whisper White Card Stock.  There is a great, bright, Spring feel to this card and it has been so snowy out that I just want to remember that sunny days are just around the corner.

Below is the Stamp Set and punch that is available now in the Occasions Catalogue.

Chalk It UP!

Time is flying by and I cannot believe it is almost the middle of February already!!  Do you have your Valentines ready??  I am almost there.  My oldest daughter now wants to create her own Valentines so we have a date tonight to have some fun with punches and stamps!  I am looking forward to watching her create. 

So on with my post.  I don't know if you have noticed but Chalk is all the rage these days and there have been some really great cards using this technique.  I found a great little tutorial from Becky Roberts at Inking Idaho that shows you how to make a piece of black cardstock look just like a chalkboard.  To see her tutorial Click Here.

For my take on this I wanted to create a card that showcased the chalkboard to my club girls.  My thought was that you could create a great School Days Scrapbook page or teacher card.  So I dug out a stamp from a couple of years ago and created a Thank you for teachers.

I used simple bright colours that I thought really made the board pop!  The white gel pen around the edge  and the little pennant banner finish it off.  This was a super simple card that I think will be great for a teacher at the end of the year.
