Wonderful News

The challenge at LIM this week is to use washi - how lucky for me that yesterday I tried CASEing a card I saw on Etsy which used a single wooden button on a small notecard.  I didn't use a wooden button, but a die I've had for ages, with WASHI on cardstock - - woo hoo!

So I'm ready early today - Sunday morning here in Australia, with temps in the 30s!


Cardstock cut 18cm x 9cm for a top fold 9 x 9cm (3.5" x 3.5")
Stamp is a freebie from Cardmaking and Papercraft Issue 165 - love the fonts
Die is by Simon Says Stamp - Partial Cut Flowers
Button die is a set of 3 by Joy! Crafts
Washi - unknown origin but printed cloth tape about 1.5 inches wide

Below are a couple more cards I made using washi.

    These are so gorgeous, Ann! What pretty fabric washi - it reminds me of a few rolls I have that I need to pull out and use soon. Love your designs, perfectly CAS and oh-so-pretty! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More :)

    These are just stunning Ann. A wonderful idea for our challenge and each one is so CAS and elegant. I'm rather envious of your washi tapes there - I'll be on the look out for some fabric ones now! Thanks for playing along with us at Less is More this week. Sarah x

    What a brilliant idea to use the washi tape as buttons Ann. Those tiny patterns look so good on the button shape. Your first card is elegance personified and the other cards show the variety of this idea. Great work! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Less is More xx

Wow!  Where has the year gone already?  We will soon be caught up with the 'busyness' of Christmas, summer and holidays no doubt, so I'm happy to welcome you to this month's Blog Hop and Challenge at Scrapbook Boutique - let's have fun while we can! You should have arrived here from  Angela's  amazing blog but if you didn't and want to start at the beginning, just click on the SBB blog link above and start again!   Here is this month's gorgeous mood board, to inspire you!  It may be the butterflies, the colours, the designs - whatever takes your fancy!  I love using butterflies in my cards, so I was very happy with this challenge!  I was inspired by the idea of drifts of butterflies and those lovely pink colours!

Scrapbook Boutique May Blog Hop and Challenge

Welcome to another blog hop and challenge at Scrapbook Boutique - this month it is based on this amazing mood board! You should have arrived here from  Angela's  lovely blog. What a beautiful collection of images, celebrating motherhood, new babies and all things girly! I just love to make 'new baby' cards, and was inspired by the little ballet shoes and dress to embellish my card with the tulle ribbon.  I also loved the metallic letters, but thought silver was a softer option than gold with pink, so kept to the silver dots on my pattern paper, as well as the silver twine.  I created my own background with a little strip of hearts from a Lawn Fawn set called Into the Woods.  Now for a close-up, to catch that sparkle! I hope you are inspired to create something after seeing this mood board and if you do, or if you just want to join in, there are two ways you can participate in this challenge and have a chance to win a prize.  You...
