My final Sunday .............

over at Sunday Stamps.  I am of course using Stampin UP products in this challenge.

I have loved being a guest designer this month.  Thanks again to Holly and everyone else for making me feel so welcome.

I would love to come back again.

Anyway here's the final challenge for November ........ can you believe it, in less then 1 month Christmas will have been and gone and we will be looking forward to 2015.  

Anyway with that in mind ...... and the fact that you may be Christmas'd out I focused my colours for this sketch on Autumn.

Here's the sketch

Its challenge SSC 90

Isn't this just a great sketch.  Now I love being able to create layers, so this was perfect.

Firstly tho, I chose my colours ........ for this card I have used Chocolate Chip, Real Red and Pumpkin Pie.  Not normally my colours but I used the Colour Coach to challenge myself even more.

Firstly I stamped the images in Chocolate Chip and Real Red, using the Bordering Blooms Stamp Set.

Then using the Banner Punch I cut the strips into banners.

Before matting and layering onto the cardstock.

I loved this effect so much I even put them inside.  Isn't it nice to be able to decorate the inside to match the front.  Makes everything just that little bit more special.

As always all the products used today can be purchased in my online shop.

So pop over to Sunday Stamps and enter into this fortnight's challenge.  I will be popping over to check out everyone's entries.

Don't forget to order your supplies today, because for the last time this month I am giving a free gift to everyone who places an online order of £50 or more today.

Big hugs

Hello to all my lovely Crunchie readers out there.

How are you all.  Its lovely to see you again today.

ELEANORE GETS CHATTY

This is a stamp set that I have resisted.  Its been around for ages and I wasn't sure about how much I would use it.  Oh boy was I wrong.  It just speaks to me.  I adore it.  There are so many stamps in it and I can't wait to show them to you.

Today I have combined it with the something to say stamp set - and Eleanor is saying Thank you.

I have again used one of my favourite colour combos - Chocolate Chip and Crumb Cake.  (Sorry the lighting was rubbish)

As you can see I have used the Thank You from the "Something to Say" stamp set and punched it out with the Modern Label punch.

I used the gorgeous swirl from the Everything Eleanore stamp set in chocolate chip.  

I have cut a matt to go on my card, sponged with chocolate chip and then stuck down using Tombow glue.  (This is the best glue ever - no warping, amazing)

Using chocolate chip cardstock I punched out three flowers from the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack and shaped.  Then added a pearl to each.  Super easy, super effective.

A gorgeous card for my gorgeous customers.

Hi guys.

How are you all today.  I can't believe its Wendesday today.  I have been looking forward to today for about a week.

Why?

Well, I now live in Somerset, but I used to live in Tintagel in Cornwall and I miss lots of my friends, and once a month or so we get together for a girlie day of chat, cake and coffee.  What could be nicer.
I know I am having a great day.  I hope you are too.

IN TODAY'S POST:

• Gorgeous Grungy Flowers
• Chocolate Crumb - yesterday's post
• Special Offers

GORGEOUS GRUNGY FLOWERS

Yesterday I showed you a lovely card using the beautiful bunch stamp set.  I love this set.  But one of my other loves is gorgeous grunge.  I love love love this one.

It creates amazing backgrounds for all types of projects and goes beautifully with the flowers in today's stamp set.

How cute is that.  I have stamped the images from gorgeous grunge straight onto the card base, using real red, crumb cake and pear pizzazz.  Beautiful colours.  Adore them.

I used the tag topper punch (Scallop) to punch out my tag before stamping in real red with the Thank U from A Round Array.  Next I edged my tag with real red ink using a sponge dauber.

Adding a little ribbon at the top of the tag and attaching to my card base using dimensionals.

I punched one flower out of pear pizzazz and stamped another in real red, before punching out.  I gave them some dimension by running over them with my bone folder, before added a pearl in the centre of the flower.  I layered them up and attached to the tag.  Cute don't you think.

So two days, and two cards using the same feature stamp set.
