Lavinia Stamps Challenge ~ #5

The Lavinia Stamps challenge for July is 'Use a Punch or Die Shape’, so I thought I'd use both. I love this little Lavinia stamp and initially planned to colour it in.  In the end I decided it looked more effective highlighting a couple of sections in red to match the little red pearls, keeping the colours to just red, white and black on my gatefold card.  I used my Nestabilities oval dies and a Fiskars border punch. 

Visit the Lavinia Stamps Challenge blog to see all the lovely entries this month, as well as the great cards by the DT.

Wedding Card

There are a few special cards to be made over the next couple of weeks, so I thought I'd better make a start.  A wedding card is needed for this weekend, so I decided to make a joyfold card.

Graduation Time!

Congratulations to my daughter, Joanna, who has finished her second degree and is now a qualified physiotherapist.  This is the card I made for her graduation this week, using one of the Stampin' Up Owls.

Owls

I came home yesterday from a lovely holiday in the Black Forest.  I even managed visits to three great craft shops, one in Germany and two in the Netherlands!  As usual a small craft box was included in my luggage and I found time to do a little crafting.  My Stampin' Up Owl punch went with me and I thought I'd share a few ideas using the punch.  I'm trying to perfect a way of using it to make a frog....so watch this space!
