Less Is More 'One Layer' - Off The Edge Card

Hello there, gorgeous weather again today :)

Well I have just about got over my busy few days - craft stall Saturday, our wedding anniversary of 23 years on Sunday and finally my youngest sons 16th Birthday on 17th! Phew!

I have made a card for the Less Is More challenge as described in my very long post title!!

I messed up the sentiment so rather than ditch the card I punched out a circle and stamped it again on the inside. So technically it is still a one layer card - honest!!
The watercolour effect stamp is from a new set which is in the new Stampin Up catalogue - love it!
Quite pleased with how it turned out as it was very easy to make and the brushstrokes look quite effective.

So I hope you like my card and thank you for visiting today.

Popsicle Card

Good evening all.

I hope that you have had a good day and the sun has shone for you.

Today's card is another 'Chic n Scratch' cased card from THIS POST.

I made them for my craft stall last Saturday and here they are on my stall:

Don't they look cute!!

As for my craft stall I did better than I could have imagined and sold over 45 cards!!
I felt so pleased with myself and loved the response from people who liked my cards. I used to make Salt Dough items which I sold at craft fairs so it was nice to get back into it with my cards.
Here is a picture of my stall:

Next time I will jazz it up a bit with bunting etc.
Thankfully it was a beautiful day and I caught the sun even though I was in the shade.

For my Popsicles I used a Stampin Up! stamp set called 'Tart And Tangy' which I bought from ebay as it was retired a very long time ago. This is the first time that I have used this stamp set 'tut tut' so I will enter it into Darnell's kard kreations NBUS (never before used schtuff ) brand new challenge.
There are lot's of NUBS stamp sets which I can use for future challenges as don't you find the NEED for the stamp is sometimes greater than the urge to ink it?!!

Also as I used some snippets of card I will take my Popsicles over to Pixies-snippet's-playground (where last week I was top of the class - creep, creep!  I'll give the 'best teacher' popsicle to Miss Di and hopefully I might get to be 'milk monitor' this week!! LOL! )

Anyway sorry for the long post - well done if you made it to the end!
Thanks for stopping by.

Tissue Holders

Good morning lovely blog people and what a gorgeous morning it is too!

Something a little different today -  tissue holders.

I followed these instructions from the queen of Stampin Up - My Chic n Scratch Angie Kennedy Juda. She is probably the first person who got me hooked on Stampin Up as her creations are simply awesome. Her instruction videos are so easy to follow and I just love her accent!

I made a few of these to take to my craft stall on Saturday so hopefully people will like them. It's so nice to have a focus to make things and I'm really looking forward to it.

As I used snippets for my tissue holders I will take them over to Pixie's Snippets Playground and join in with the fun there.

Right I must crack on with more crafting, stuff the housework that will have to wait!
Thanks for stopping by.
