Wednesday, March 17, 2010
Didn't make it!
Anyhow here is one of the items my gorgeous Stamp Club ladies will be creating soon, we are basing our creations around Easter and the use of the Top Note Die, which I have been dieing (pun intended!!) to get my hands on! Once again I have used that very cute chickie from A Good Egg stamp set.
I'm also going to enter this into the Just Add Ink Easter Challenge if I get there in time, I'm not sure on the time difference!

More new treats
I needed to make a 2nd Birthday card, and thought one of the new sets from the upcoming Mini would be perfect - the characters in the Fox and Friends set are just so cute. I don't normally do cutesy sets, but something about these just appealed to me. I wanted to try and use bright colours so that it would be suitable for a boy or a girl, let me know what you think.
I really should have straightened that photo up, sorry.

Easter Pressies for Teachers
http://just-add-ink.blogspot.com/
It also seemed like a good idea to play with more new toys from the upcoming Mini, this time my Big Shot came out to play. I placed such a big pre-order (!) that with my Hostess dollars, I was able to order the Pillow Box die as a freebie, and I love it. It creates these cute little boxes in a matter of seconds and aren't they gorgeous? Especially coupled with the very cute chick from the 'A Good Egg' set, I love pink and green together so was very happy with how these turned out. They'll be even better once they're filled with chocolate.

Matching Gift Card Holder
I have created a gift card holder to go alongside the card I made yesterday, these are so easy to make and just make the pressie look so much more thoughtful than it does on the piece of cardboard you buy it on. I hope the young man in question enjoys spending it.
Enjoy, and pop back tomorrow I have more sneak peeks to share! xxx

Sleepover Girls
I used one of my all time favourite stamp sets, 'All in the Family', as I've said before it is a little fiddly to use, but as long as you have a Stamp-a-ma-jig, it's very easy. The cards you can create, particularly for children are just so cute. The card was supposed to represent the five girls, all in their PJ's ready to sleep.
