Team swaps from a retreat weekend

Wow what a fantastic weekend I have had crafting at team retreat. Spending time with friends is the best pick me up anyone could wish for.

When we have a craft day or weekend we all do swaps,

I thought I would share with you the swaps I made and the ones I got in return, what great inspiration you can get from others.

I would love to take a team with me next time , if you fancy joining me just contact me to find out how.

New catologue

Sorry I have been very quite on my blog as of late. Blogging is not my thing and I need to try a little harder haha . I tend to post of Facebook more.

But It’s that time of year again and I’m posting out annual catolgues. Would you like one ?

If so pop me an email on trina_ken@hotmail.com and I’ll get one in the post.

These are just a few samples of what you could find

 

 

Beautiful Day Butterfly

I love sending cards !! 

This card was my swap I sent to five of a great Team of crafters. 

The theme was New Catalogue and this Stamp set is one we were gifted at Onstage in November called Beautiful Day.

 

I love the solid Images of the flower and butterfly.

Instantly I thought of water colours and velum. 

I chose four stunning pinks from various colour collections , Sweet Sugarplum, Melon Mambo, Blushing Bride and Flirty Flamingo. 

The Butterfly was embossed with verso mark and white embossing power . I fussy cut this Image and used dimensionals to lift it from the card. The back ground was embossed the Always thinking of you sentiment to the Designer paper 

This paper was from the Sweet Soiree collection. and was a great match to the blushing bride card stock I used for the card.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. Please get in touch with any questions .

Gift Box in a Card

 I have the pleasure of joining in with the Pootles Team on the Spring/Summer Catalogue Blog Hop.

This is the great opportunity of showing you lots of projects all using the new items.

  

I have chosen the Sweet Soiree Designer Series Paper for the box and layered section. This paper just might be my favourite so far.

I used two stamp sets. I wanted to use the lovely heart stamp set Heart Happiness and I chose a sentiment from the Picture Perfect Birthday which fitted just nicely.

 

The Card was Powder Pink and measured 5 7/8 inch  by 8 1/4 inch

A piece of the card 2 inches by 2 inches was cut away for the box.

The box is 6 x 6 and scored at 2 inches at all sides.

The lid is 3 1/8 x 3 1/8 scored at 1/2 inch on all sides and it was layered with Rich Razzleberry.

 The Embelishment was from Petal Passion Embellishments. 

I hope you liked my project and all of those from the Team.
