Petal Promenade Wreath Card

Hello there,
Today's card uses the Petal Promenade DSP. I love how this paper looks so 3d but is completely flat! You can see the SU! design process for making this paper HERE
So, I wanted to use one of the pretty summer wreaths from the paper so I made this card...

I added a stamped sentiment to the centre from Dandelion Wishes and a little ribbon bow to the top and well, the paper does most of the rest tbh :-)

Just a few sequins for a little bling!

It was super easy to cut this out so please don't let the fussy cutting put you off :-) This paper is also great for pretty, flat cards (which are easy to post) but still look super dimensional, don't you think?

That's all from me for today, isn't today the last work day before the bank holiday??
 Have you got much crafting planned for the long weekend?
Thanks so much for stopping by today,

Little Elephant CAS Card

Hello there!
Today's card uses the adorable Elephant Builder Punch, I did use the stamp set too but only for the sentiment. I teamed it with some of the Petal Promenade DSP to make a little train of ellies, lets see....

Now, you'll see in this image how they punch out usually. Obviously this wouldn't work for this card as I wanted the baby Ellie to hold the bigger ones tail so...

TIP: Punch one large elephant in the regular way and flip the DSP over and punch the little one in reverse. I then use a bone folder and run it around the edges to smooth them out so the rough edges aren't showing. 

I also inked the edges of the elephants lightly using a sponge and my smoky slate ink pad before adding them above some cute star paper from Twinkle, Twinkle DSP.
TIP 2: This is a great way to use those small offcuts of DSP.

Finished with a tiny Fresh Fig card heart (from the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch) and a matching mini ribbon bow.

Thanks so much for looking today. I have a busy day today but I'm hoping to get my craft on this evening :-) I hope you get a chance to craft too!

Using Stitched All Around for Inspire. Create Challenges Sketch #20

Hello there and welcome to today's blog post.
And it's time again for another challenge from Inspire. Create Challenges. This week (#20) it's my favourite kind of challenge, a sketch challenge, so let's start with the sketch shall we?

Now, I have followed the sketch fairly closely this week and I have played with some of my new goodies too! 

I absolutely adore these Petal Promenade papers and couldn't wait to get my hands on them. I didn't actually get the stamps to go with them (yet) so instead I've teamed them with the Stitched All Around stamps and dies with crisp white and navy...

 Love that cross stitch effect border die and the stitched edge framed panel from this set.

 And I think that paper just takes this whole card to another level!

So, do you love them too?? Let me know in the comments section...
To see what the ret of the Dt have made with this sketch please do head over to the ICC blog HERE and then get making! We'd love to see what you come up with!
Thanks so much for looking today :-)
