Cupcake 185.... The Sound of Music

This weeks challenge over at Cupcake Craft Challenge is the sound of music.  Your project had to be inspired by music or include a musical element. 

I have made a summer holiday type of card and was inpsired by "Jolly Holliday" from Mary Poppins. I think it was more the title of the song rather than the film but I love the film and can't wait for my daughter to be old enough to sit and watch it with me.

All the spotty papers and the ice cream digi stamp are from Pink Petticoat.  I have also made a little beach hut and included some bunting.

TSTR week#107 - 'Bright and Beautiful Spring'

More inspiration and a great challenge from the girls at the Shabby Tea Room.

This weeks challenge is to use lilac, yellow, blue, kraft and a butterfly and the photo below for inspiration.

Here is my entry:

I have taken an old jar which I think had cranberry sauce in it.  I kept it because I loved the shape and though I might use it one day.

I have included lilac, yellow and blue flowers and the little with love tag is made from kraft card.  The lace rossette I made myself which was a first attempt and I then added some distress ink just to alter the colour slightly. I have then added butterflies which are stamped in black.

Chocolate Basket

I thought I better make a start on some Easter treats so I decided to make this sweet little basket for my daughter.

All the papers are from Pink Petticoat and the template for the basket is from Waltzing Mouse Stamps

Wedding Bells

What a beautiful day just right for a spring wedding so here is my first wedding card of this year.
I wanted to make something a little different and noticed that birdcages seem to feature as wedding centrepieces or decorations on some of the websites for weddings I have looked at. I think my inspiration came from HERE

I tried to stick with neutral colours for the card.  All the backing papers are from Pink Petticoat.  The bird cage has been stamped in silver embossing powder which is from Papermania Chatsworth House collection and the butterfly is from Papermania Summer Bloom collection.  The little crown and keys are from my beloved Prima Printery stamp set and I have stamped them in black and covered them in clear embossing powder and added a little glitter.  All three stamp sets I love as they seem to cover most occasions.

The Ribbon Reel Challenge #24 Pretty as a Posey

Another fornightly challenge at The Ribbon Reel.  This weeks theme is pink, yellow, aqua and neutrals with flowers and ribbons and this lovely photo for inspiration.

And here is my entry.

All the backing papers and digi stamp are from Pink Petticoat.

I have then distressed the edges and inked them with Tim Holtz distress ink in tea dye.  I have also added some paper and organza flowers and inked the edges of the flowers.

Princess Birthday

Here is my daughters 3rd birthday card. We are having a princess themed party for her this year so thought would make a princess card including a little princess crown charm.

The stamps are from Kanban and all the papers are from Pink Petticoat Perfect Papers.

I have coloured the princess and cupcake stamps using a mixture of paper piecing and pro markers.

The little stars I picked up a local shop which sells everything for weddings, parties etc... They have some gorgeous little embelishments for cards, I could spend hours just looking.

TSTR Week #106 "Pennant Party"

Its challenge time at the Shabby Tea Room. Come and join in.

This week we were given the lovely photo below for inspiration.

We were asked to make a card or project using the colours in the photo and include a flag, pennant or banner.

Here is my entry.

I have made a little bird box using a selection of papers from pink petticoat and the Shabby Princess.

The box roof does open so you could put a little treat inside.
