Daring Cardnakers - No matter the weather

Hello everyone and welcome to the Friday challenge from the team at the Daring Cardmakers.

Our host this week is the lovely Svenja who would like to see your cards feature the weather.

So my card is not very original as I used snowflakes.

I thought as its the time of year for wintery showers and there has been a sentiment on the stamp set I have used that I was itiching to make a card with, I went with the Snowflake Wishes Bundle from Stampin Up.

I was thinking perhaps snowflakes look to Christmassy but when I added this lovely sentiment it changed the feel of the card. As all snowflakes are different and one of kind, so is a friendship, I love it.

I created all my Christmas cards with this set this year and its a great set for other occasions and not just Christmas. I have created a friendship card with it but I do think that the card would need to be sent in the winter months though.

Thanks for stopping by today and please head over to the Daring Cardmakers Blog for more lovely inspiration from the Design Team.

Have a lovely weekend.

Tags in a hurry with wink of stella

Hello everyone.

Sometimes we need a really quick project and perhaps you need a tag for gift but are in a hurry to get the gift wrapped.

I have created a super quick and very pretty gift tag.

I have used a freebie stamp set from Sale A Bration called A Touch Of Ink.

I cut the misty moonlight card stock to 2" x 4". I then used the scalloped tag topper punch to create the tag shape.

Next I stamped the humming bird and sentiment from the stamp set in misty moonlight ink. Then all I did was add the wink of stella to the image. Against the dark background the glitter looks fabulous and no shedding and you don't have to tip the excess back into the tub. This also means that you don't go around glittering all day when you have glitter stuck to your face.

To finish the tag I added some ribbon and a few rhinestones to add some more sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by today and you can find all the products I have used for this project at the bottom of the page, with links to the Stampin Up website.
