Everything Eleanor

This is another overdue post, I think that's me up to date with these now! Today I'm sharing another card and gift bag that we made at one of Julie Kettlewell's team training sessions.  We used the Everything Eleanor stamp set, which I really like.  I've seen it used in so many different ways, and each of the stamps can be used on their own, or together like in the cards below.  The colour combo for this card is Peach Parfait, one of the In Colours for 2010-2012, with Soft Suede and Saraha Sand. The Thank You sentiment is from Curly Cute, one of the sentiment sets I couldn't do without!

We made a second card, to demonstrate how easy it is to give the card a bit of extra something, by just adding a few Rhinestone Pearls and a bit of ribbon.

This is the little gift bag we made, using the Scallop Envelope die. It was really easy to make, and didn't take long.

Happy Birthday Owl

Here's a card I made a while ago at one of Julie Kettlewell's team training sessions.  It's a very quick an easy card, there's not much stamping to be done, and just assembling the owl takes a little time.  We cut out a Top Note die shape in Crumb Cake, then embossed it with the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder.  The leaves are from the Little leaves die, and the owl was punched with the Owl Builder Punch.  The sentiment is from Curly Cute.

At the training session, we also made this little gift bag, using the Scallop Envelope die. I love making things from items that are different to the obvious way to use them.  The papers are from the retired Springtime Vintage DSP.  The handle was created by punching out a shape with the Word Window Punch, clever eh!
