Mashing Up Valentines

Hi guys,

I just found a new challenge site. I can't believe it took me so long to find it. And if you knew about it, why didn't you share your secret hahaha!!! Anyway its called The Friday Mashup! I really like it cos it mashes two things together in the one challenge. This week the challenge was to use the colours Early Espresso, Blushing Bride and Riding Hood Red and to use Paper Piercing on the one project. I have a fairly simple valentines card to share using these colours and some paper peircing. I got inspiration for this card from a card I saw in a magazine. Added my own spin and looksie looksie, This is what I did...



Will add what I used later as I have to run out the door,
Have a great one,

Dani

Party Penguin

Hi guys,

Ever since I got the owl punch for Christmas from my Secret Santa I have been LOVING experimenting and playing with it. What an awesome Punch. How did I live so long without it? The circles are also such a great size. Really versatile! Anywho heres another card to show you it's versatility. I made the owl into a penguin. How freaking cute is this little guy?? This card was inspired by a card by Teneale Williams a while back. (Couldn't find the exact post sorry) I added my own little things to it though including the little Party flag made from cardstock and a tooth pick.

Cardstock: Elegant Eggplant, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie Prints DSP

An Engagement Box

Hi guys,

WOW! I've been a bad blogger. I apologise, I've been finding the new adjustments made to Blogger a little hard when your in a hurry so until I master them it may be a little time between posts sorry. If you wanna keep up to date head over to my facebook page I am always keeping that up to date.

Anyway! I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and enjoying the warm weather we are finally getting. I've got some news to share along with some craft. My brother proposed to his girlfriend just before Christmas and she said YES of course! He asked me to make him a box toput the gift in and since she loves Owl's I decided to whip her up this cute little box. What do you think?? Super cute huh?

Stamp Set: Short and Sweet

Ink: Soft Suede

Cardstock: Real Red, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Real Red Prints DSP

Accessories: Owl Builder Punch, Small heart Punch, Tombow

I am also entering this project for the current Just Add Ink challenge which is... Just Add Fancy Packaging. Thought it was very fitting.

Have a great day

Dani

Just Add Ink #28

Woo Hoo! I got to participate in a challenge! This week at Just Add Ink it's a double challenge... Just add a man card using Chocolate Chip, Kraft and Baja Breeze! Stunning colours but what to do with them? Any card maker will agree that men's cards are ALWAYS the hardest so I wanted to do something different. I remember seeing a tutorial by Rachel Capps on how to do a Punch Art electric guitar. So I tweaked her tutorial slightly to make an acoustic guitar. This is what the final product looked like...



Stamp Sets: Sanded, Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Cardstock: Kraft, Chocolate hip, Baja Breeze
Accessories: 1 3/8" circle punch, 1 1/2" circle punch, 3/4" circle punch, word window punch, large star punch, sponge daubers, pewter brads, non SU silver thread

Thanks for looking
Dani
