A big thankyou!

The last few weeks have disappeared!! My daughter has left primary school (!!!) ready to start high school in September. To thank her teachers and assistants we made five different thankyou cards and five boxes that we filled with homemade peppermint creams. The stamp set that we used was 'one big meaning'


The cards for the teachers and assistants.

Not a card! Stampin' Up! flower shop and Pansy punch.

Something a bit different today. I've made a wall hanging.
 I used some chipboard and covered it in some designer series paper. I then added a layer of watercolour card that I had covered in pink pirouette ink that had been watered down with an aqua painter (stampin'Up waterbrush). Once that had dried I used watercolour wings stamp set and stamped my butterfly using pink pirouette ink,pool party and blushing bride. I cut the butterfly out using the butterfly framelits and my big shot and glued it onto the wall hanging. I used a sentiment from watercolour wings as well and die cut this on my big shot too. I stamped a petite petals flower in pool party and used the matching punch to punch out the flower. The paper roses were made using the pansy punch and some dsp. For each rose you need to punch out four flowers with the punch. Please leave a comment if you would like more details of how to make these roses. They are fun to make but a bit fiddly! I hope you like it.
