Bunting on my mind

With Bunting taking up a lot of my thoughts & time I thought that i'd make a bunting card. I idea was from a card design in craft stamper a few weeks ago using heart stamps that Jeanette one of my stampers 6 pointed out to me, so I thought that I would give it a try using my Stampin' Up stash.

I have used the I {heart} Hearts set & Happy everything set, the papers are from the Sweet pea paper stack. The frill at the top of the card was stamped with the largest heart stamp from the I {heart} Hearts set & then the bottom of the heart was cut off to make the frill. The idea was to use the bottom of the heart for the bunting but it was a little too big & didn't work as planned. back to the drawing board & I knew that i'd read somewhere that you could use the Large Star punch to make the bunting.....hey presto the first bunting card.

All of the products used on this card are from Stampin' Up & are available to purchase through me.

Side step card with Lovely as a tree

This months stampers 10 hostess Alice has asked that we use the set Lovely as a tree.
I can think of lots of lovely card ideas using this set for Christmas, but have really struggled with cards for the current season.

I came upon a card on splitcoast stampers that used the side step card fold which really looked great with this set. So I set too & made this version which ended up only using the fold & nothing of the original image.


Tutorial for side step card

After I had made this card I e-mailled Alice just to double check that I had the right set that she wanted to use on her hostess evening, & guess what the set wasn't lovely as a tree, but Trendy tree's. So I'm off to make some cards for projects using the correct set.
