Strength and Hope

At the weekend I attended one of Victorias classes and the theme was strength and hope.  I was asked to take any samples I had with me so that the ladies could get a idea of the versitality of the set so I came up with this card

I have stamped the butterflies in versamark and rose red ink and then embossed with su clear embossing powder and carefully cut them out and mounted them onto the card with dimensionals.  I cut away a section of the side card then punched a decorative edge with the boarder punch and stamped the image in the "inside" of the card.  Quite a simple and easy card to make.

Thanks for looking

Strength and Hope # 4

I bet you think I'm like a bus, nothing for a ages and then they come along all at once...haha.  Well, if I'm honest,  I prepared a few cards about a week ago so that I have one or two to post in my  "not enough hours in the day to craft" spell.

Again I have used the Springtime Vintage papers but this time with the Strength and Hope stamp set.  Remember, every set sold SU are donating £1 to Cancer research.  I have also used the butterfly embosslits folder from the mini catalogue.

I love the patchwork quilt effect and these colours are so fresh and bright.  Well quick post from me as time to watch a bit of tv and chill with a nice glass of wine.

Strength and Hope #2

How many of you watched the wedding then?   I did and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the happy couple.   Now because of the wedding I haven't done any crafting yet today but I did make this card a few days ago.   Its another one using the Strength  and Hope set and is quite simple but effective I think. 



All products, except the base card, are from stamping up and the colour scheme is Rose Red and Basic Black.

Products used:

Rose red card and ink

Whisper White card

Basic Black card and ink

Pearls

White gel pen

Round plain and scalloped punch

Thanks for popping by and enjoy the rest of your day

Strength and Hope

As you will know from a previous post, SU are donating £1 to cancer research from every Strength and Hope set sold.  Now this does not just apply to the sets sold in the UK  but to those sold in America, Australia, Germany and France as well.  Wow can you image how much they could be donating and I'm sure you will agree that its a worthy cause as I don't think there are many of us that haven't experienced cancer within our families or friends.

Anyway, my upliner Victoria is holding a charity night in May to promote the set and hopefully manage to sell some to benefit the research.  It is always good to have lots of samples to show the versatility of the set so I've been making some that she will hopefully want to borrow for the event.   For the first one I wanted to do something different and so decided to make a penny spinner card.  I've made these before but not for a long time and was really pleased with the result.

Now the picture was taken before I decided I would put pearls down the centre of the butterfly to bling it up so you will have to use your imagination for this one...sry.

All products are SU, except the pennies,  and the colour combo is Rose Red and Crumb Cake,  the paper is from Springtime Vintage that is currently in the mini catalogue.  The background on the top of the card is from the set and stamped in Crumb Cake onto the same colour card stock for a more subtle effect. 

If you would like to order this set and do a bit for cancer research please contact me and I'll be happy to order it for you.

Thanks again for stopping by, I'll be back again soon with another project from this set.

Strength and Hope

Hello everyone,

  Oh I am soooo happy, I've broke up for 5 days...yay. Quick one from me as its rather late and near my bedtime...lol So my plans for my days off are I'm hoping to get some crafting done and prep my class for the end of May, do some work on my diploma as well as the general housework.  If you are interested in my classes just get in contact to reserve your place.

Ok, remember I attended a training session a couple of weeks ago?  Well I had to do some swaps and, as SU are supporting breast cancer research this year I thought it would be good to have some aspect of the Strength and Hope set on the card.  For every stamp set sold, SU are donating one pound to cancer research.  The criteria for the swaps was to use products from the mini catalogue.  So what I did was I used the elegant boquet embossing folder and embossed some whisper white card.  I then either chalked over the embossed image or glittered them as I wanted to show that this folder could be used for either bright or subtle colours.  I then stamped the Hope symbol from the set in the top right corner.

 

I must admit that the chalked ones are my fav :) What do you think? 

Ok thats it from me, told you it was a quick one.  I'll be back soon with a card I've done for my daughters engagement so please pop back to have a look.  Til then ttfn

Hugs
