PWC/Stamp Something

I've managed to make a card today that meets two challenges, woohoo! It doesn't happen very often. I've used Dawny's sketch for this weeks Papertake Weekly Challenge and the cute cat makes the card eligible for Stamp Somethings challenge - Animal Somethings.

Supplies:

Stamp: Purrfect Day set - Penny Black; Inks: Memento TB, Copics & Inkessentials

CS: Core'dinations, Bristol Board; DP: Clare Curd's Signature Range

Tools: MS Lace Doily Punch, Swiss Dots CB Folder, Rectangle Nesties

Embellishments: Ribbon - Meiflower, Oval Sentiment - CWC. Gems - Papermania

I've had this paper pack since April and I think it is the first time that I've used it. I get so used to making cards using just coloured CS, I often forget that I've got a huge stash of patterned paper!

This card has been made for someone who sometimes looks at my blog, but I need to post it now for PWC, so I hope they don't look for a few days!

It's been a fairly nice day, weather wise and I guess that's pleasing all the people in town for the annual pop festival. As always, I avoid the town centre like the plague over this weekend! I hope everyone else is having a nice weekend. Thank you for stopping by and for any comments you may leave, they are greatly appreciated.

Stamp Something #1 - Firsts

A new challenge blog has just launched called Stamp Something. They will set a new challenge every Friday morning. Being their 1st challenge, the theme is "Firsts". It can be a first for you i.e. using a new colour combo or design or it can be a first as in a first birthday/baby etc.

I've chosen to make my first twins card!! It was also the first time I had used this new Sugar Nellie stamp, so I'm sure that counts too!

I embossed some white startburst card with the fabulous Swiss Dots embossing folder, added the new baby girl ribbon from Making Memories and mounted this onto pink cs. The imgae has been cut and mounted using my square nestabilites. I used Sizzix's Girls Are Weird alphabet to cut the word "Twins!"
