St Valentine’s Day …

I love punched paper art and am amazed at some of the wonderful effects you can create with just a handful of punches and some ink.

I thought I’d have a go … and made this Valentine’s Day card for my honey:

 

 

It’s supposed to be a love bug … I hope it doesn’t look too much like a spider! (Well there are only six legs and not eight).

 

 

I couldn’t resist changing the words on the stamp at the bottom with a chocolate chip stampin’ write marker from “hugs and kisses” to “Bugs and kisses”! I had so much fun making this… I love it… and I hope he does too!

Baby birthday …

My friend’s little nephew had a birthday recently and she asked me to make a card for him:

Gift vouchers …

My friend asked me for a gift voucher for her mum, as it was so soon after Christmas she was struggling with ideas of what to buy for her birthday.

She knows her mum just loves the Stampin’ Up products, as does she, so knew her mum would love a gift voucher to spend on Stampin’ Up goodies of her choice, and I was only too happy to help!

This is what she received:
