Birthday Bouquet Swing Easel Card

Sorry but it is a really quick post today.... I actually nearly forgot and it is really late at night now!! Just one of those weeks with school holidays.. and then great Weekly Deals & update to Clearance Rack etc.... (and I thought I was going to get a few days off!!!!)

Birthday Bouquet papers and a butterfly... along with sentiments from Watercolour Words and Remembering Your Birthday... the latter being punched out using the Washi Label punch...

Rose Red Birthday Blooms

Here is another card based upon our last Quarterly Training projects. This in turn was CASED from the Spring Summer catalogue...

The flower is coloured in using Blushing Bride with Rose Red highlights...gorgeous in the flesh!

I then finished off the colouring with my white Signo gel pen on those seed heads...

And  - as the pale gold sample shared yesterday - the finishing touch being the Paper Toled flower

Oh... plus an extra greeting punched out with the Washi Label punch.... 

And a story about this punch... I use it all the time as the size and shape is just right for so many projects... but I did not get it initially...no, not at all!! It was a big NO NO.... Not so now... Proving yet again that things are often worth a second look! Or even a third....

Birthday Bouquet 54321 Class

And so to finish off the cards everyone made in the 54321 class...

Here is the card designed for everyone to make 5 quickies....

These are all CASED from a card we made at Monthly Training

The prepped papers were all different...not because I had necessarily planned it that way originally...

But because my delivery arrived at the end of the class! So I had to have a quick rethink the night before...

But it was a good rejig of a plan....

More details on the bottom left card here...

Just realised I haven't posted the original card we made at Training... better re-take a photo and post another day...

Something pink with sprinkles on top...

Birthday Bouquet meets Honeycomb Embellishments meets Sale A Bration stamp set Honeycomb Happiness... 

A card to make you think of summer...or parties.. or anything involving ice cream with sprinkles on top...

And a Tuesday Tip for you... I have to share fellow team member Barbara's idea  - as amended by a very knowledgeable email update from Helen over in Australia (thank you so much Helen!!) - with the Honeycomb embellishments... just pull off the protective paper backing on the embellishment & adhere one side and leave the other side as is... then you can post the card easily! And you can decide whether to add an instructional note for the recipient on the paper of the unpeeled side ....eg Peel & Stick!

Much better than squashing the honeycomb like I did with mine... though  - I hasten to add - that was in a tight plastic wallet rather than in an envelope!

Love the greeting from Remembering Your Birthday for this ice cream ensemble.... perfect!

Apologies for the rubbish photos... it was obviously late at night!

PS I used the Circle Framelits but I forgot to add them to the Supplies List... also Honeycomb Happiness is available in wood mount too ( but I couldn't find it on the lists!)
