Add a Little Something....

MOTHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS.
 
Don't waste those little scraps and left-over DSP, look what you can do!
 
2 1/2" x 2 1/2" DSP on 3 x 3 Note Cards. 
They fit beautifully in the Stampin' Up small note envelopes - and -
you can make a lovely gift box to hold them all.
 
 
Box = 1 x A4 Cardstock and 1 sheet of 6 x 6 DSP Stack to decorate top and sides.  

Yep the Twins will soon be 22.


 
I do love this Stamp and Thinlit Bundle from Stampin' Up.
Where ever you need a number, this set covers it.  So versatile.
LOVE  IT !  
 


Embossed Just for You.

 
I really like this stamp, it says it all...has impact and versatile. 
 You could use it on tags, bags and cards, that's ideal.
 

 
I saw this technique on Pootles.co.uk  Black embossing on black cardstock. 
These are my first efforts.  But I love the effect.

Shy little fellows come out to play....


Sweet little friends...
 
Well Easter is just around the corner, I fell in love with this cute Stampin' Up Chick in the
Occasions, and Sale-a-Bration Catalogues.
I'm sure you will see more of him shortly.  Oh and his shy little friend, Thumper.

Birthday Decorator Pieces




Two fun looks using the Happy Birthday Pop-up Thinlit set
 plus Occasions Catalogue items.
TOO CUTE....
Pop them up around your home.
 
Frames picked up from Spotlight.  They come as 2 separate pieces, front frame and solid back.  I've held them together with glue dots in each corner, after attaching a 6" x 6" DSP piece as the background.  Again, I've only lightly taped the DSP to the back so you can remove and re-use sections for tags etc.
Be careful - they are addictive.     : )

SU Poinsettia Punch...So many uses.

 
What a useful punch this has turned out to be.
Change the cardstock colour and voila you have a totally different look.
 
(Plus this is a great way to use discontinued stock)
 
 
 
Note the flower bud, made from the centre poinsettia petals not used in the flower construction,
 put to use as a bud.
 
(don't forget to form the bud with the stamped image on the outside)

Pretty in Pink...

 
Love Blossoms DSP Stack co-ordinate so well. 
My CWA Branch were kind enough to accept this framed papercrafting as one of their handicraft items going to Group for judging. 
It's such fun playing with paper.
