Buggies & booties

I'm going to make a massive call here but I think I've just discovered my favorite all time Stampin' Up! stamp set! Buggies & Booties is no longer a current set, infact it's almost 10 years old but I managed to get my hands on it second hand.  I've loved creating some cards with it and I thought I'd share them with you!

This was a recent card we made in one of my classes incorporating the new circle framelit die. It's quite a simple card but looks effective with the layers used.  The base card is starfuit and measures 15x 13 3/4cm. I cut a strip of summer starfruit and crisp cantaloupe dsp from the new saleabration dsp measuring 2.5cmx 13 3/4cm (summer starfruit) and 7.5cm x 13 3/4cm (crisp cantaloupe) and stuck these pieces in place on the base and ran it through the bigshot using the circle framelit die. 

I cut two small circles of whisper white card using the coordinating circle from the circles collection framelit and two more circles of crisp cantaloupe using the 6.4cm circle punch. One white circle I embossed with bird from the 'love you more' set in white and on the other circle I embossed the 'love you more sentiment' in white. Using my sponges I started sponging with summer starfuit in the middle of each circle and worked my way out to the edges using crisp cantaloupe.  I sprayed over each with some white mist spray and layered them on the card. 

Lastly I finished the card off with a white double bow.

Better late than never!

This past month has been incredibly stressful with a combination of moving house and renovating our new house. I feel I'm struggling to keep on top of anything thus why I'm a day late posting my valentines card... but hey as they say....better late than never!

This crisp cantaloupe card has been embossed with the beautifully baroque embossing folder and rubbed with white ink using a spongue.  It has a strip of vellum I have stamped with a dot background stamp (non stampin up) with versamark, sprinkled with heat and stick powder and then gold embossing powder.  On top is a piece of crisp cantaloupe stamped with the new flowerful heart and embossed in white.  I have sponged over this with crisp cantaloupe to make it stand out a little more.  I have stuck this on a piece of gold foil card and lastly  embossed another a strip of gold foil card with the sentiment always and forever in white.  This sentiment is from the set 'this day forward.'

Happy valentines day everyone!
