Belated Birthdays

I have the biggest apology to two of the girls from Julies Jems cause I missed their birthdays last week.

I have popped a card in the post to wish them a belated birthday and they should have received them by now and I hope that they make up for being late (promise I will try harder next year and send them on time!)

This first card is for Karen - it was her birthday on the Royal Wedding so I felt that I should acknowledge this (be rude not too!) so my little Owl has her crown on!!

I used a few things on this - The Owl Punch, the crown was from Tiny Tags and the papers are Springtime Vintage. I have used the Square Lattice embossing folder to add some texture to the Owl and the Scollop circle

The next card is for Sharon

The Owl Punch came in to use again (love that Owl!) To make the bunch of flowers I have used the Boho Blossom punch and some lovely pearls for the middle. I have used the Square Lattice to emboss the background.

I hope the girls like them and I am sorry they were late!

A Challenge!

So Julie (my Stampin' Up mum) set her Jems a challenge - to CASE a card from the new mini catalogue but with a twist we had to change it. This is what I came up with for the challenge.

I have taken the card from the front of the catalogue and changed it by using the Itty Bitty Bits set and the brights collection. I have also used the Boho Blosson punch to create the flower. In the middle of the flower I have used the bitty buttons.

Why not have a go your self and case a card from either catty and change something about it and see what you come up with - I'd love to see what you do
