New Beginnings...

A new baby card using my new Sizzix embossing folders - love these sets that Sizzix have brought out. I bought the baby collection which contained a large embossing folder, a medium sized pram embossing folder and two small folders which included this 'Bundle of Joy' and a bib folder.

My card is for the challenges at:

• Tanda Teaser - 'Oh Baby'
• C.R.A.F.T. challenge - 'New'
• The Secret Crafter - 'New Beginnings'

Materials used:

• Sizzix embossing folders
• blue, white and silver mirri card from stash
• Cricut (school book cartridge) to cut out flowers and hearts
• buttons, silver trim and peel offs from stash

Pink Elephant Day...

Yeah it's Pink Elephant Day and this week we have a sketch for everyone to try out by the incredibly talented Robin Willis. I had such fun playing with this semi-circle design and I'm sure we will see some stunning creations by everyone this week.

To take a look at the sketch and see what the rest of the design have done with it pop over to the Pink Elephant and check it out.

Materials used to create my card:

• Cricut - used to cut 5" inch circle and flowers in two sizes (Schoolbook cartridge)
• Pollycraft stamp - coloured with Derwent Aquatone crayons
• DCWV paper from Spring Stack
• plain card and organza ribbon from stash
• sentiment stamp from set by Making Memories
