Sweet Pea Bag and Card

This card and bag were made using some paper from the new Sweet Pea stack, I really do love the colours in these papers. Instructions to make the bag can be found here. The embellishment on the front on the bag is made from repeated stamping an image from Circle Circus in Chocolate Chip, Rose Red and Old Olive. Different parts of the image were then punched out using the scallop circle, the 1 3/8" circle and the 1 1/4" circle punches. The card was made using the same image for the base and the Happy Birthday Circle greeting from Wow Flowers, this was finished off with an Old Olive brad.

Happy Moments set of Four

This little set of cards was made using the Happy Moments set which one of the sale-a-bration freebie sets, although sale-a-bration is now over I thought I'd still show these cards, as like many of you with this set I'm still playing. The background pattern was created using a stamp from the Circle Circus set, a great one for backgrounds and accents. The focal images and sentiments come from Happy Moments, there are two cards with "thank you" as the greeting and two with "Happy Birthday". The colour combinations for each card are: Rose Red and Pretty in Pink, Ballet Blue and Bashful Blue, Old Olive and Certainly Celery, Perfect Plum and Pale Plum. I think my favourite is the green version as I just love the bird in a cage stamp.
