Our Clean & Simple Challenge Projects

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies, 

My intention is not to complain but that heat yesterday just zapped the energy out of me!  I enjoyed sitting out in the shade for a couple of hours while Paul was busy mowing and trimming, I don't know how he did it, I kept him hydrated with a steady flow of drinks.

In the morning we popped along to the first of this years Village Plant & Bake sales, we picked up a couple of plants and a very nice looking Victoria Sandwich, so later on the afternoon we had a piece with a cup of tea, to make it extra delicious,  I took the top layer off of our pieces and added some clotted cream 😋, shortly after the fork lightening started, followed by the storms that we were forecast.  

Your Clean & Simple Cards 

Maria

Maria's Description:

I'm sending you here a little card for tomorrow. Made a few wonky lines . Stamped Happy Birthday in Dusty Concorde DI. In my bit box I had these little flowers made in some material, original from a flower pot, they won't stick with normal glue so will get the glue gun out. A couple of crystals and a few leaves. Done 😊 Hope it's okay 🤗

Maria your card is absolutely gorgeous,  I love the simplicity of your design, those three embossed lines draw your eye right to those beautiful flowers, you have continued the line with the perfectly places foliage, such a beautiful card 😍, thank you so much for taking part XXX 

Lilian 

Lilian's Description:

Here is my card for this week

It’s an old stamp set, I think it’s called butterfly basics from Staminup.

I used faded jeans oxide ink, to stamp and colour.

This stamp set is one of the first StampinUp! Sets that I bought.  I forget I have half of the stamp sets,

I honestly think that if it isn't in my sight I don't use it, maybe I should have a pile on my desk that I rotate?!  

Back to your card, Lilian I know i say this most weeks but I will say it again..your colouring skills bring everything you colour to life!  That flower looks like you could pick it up.

Thank you so much for taking part in the Challenge XXX

Absolutely perfect clean and simple cards Karen, love the Father's Day card,  that Daisy B Christmas tree is lovely,  I just love the simple design.  I must also point out your incredibly accurate matting & layering!  🤩

Janet

Janet's Description:

This card was made -as usual- using LABLANCHE papers named 'ROSES' which as usual are a delight to use.

I have to agree Janet the Roses paper collection is exquisitely beautiful,  the level of detail is incredible,  I love that each page has layers of detail, which means that making any project with them is effortless.  Your card is so beautiful Janet, thank you so much for taking part,  I am so delighted that your cards are back on our weekly display 🥰 XXX

Sonia

Sonia's Description:

The die cut circles are cut from my smooshing on baking paper. I used Tim Holtz butterfly and sentiment from The Stamp Market.

The second card I’ve made for James. I used Tracy Hey stencil, pink Fresh baby die cuts, apart from the circle which is a Sizzix die. Sentiments from My Favourite Things.

Sonia your cards are amazing, I love your ink smooshed circles, the black butterfly really highlights the colours in the circles, I always love how neat and perfect your sentiments are 🥰

The card you have made for James is awesome,  he will absolutely love having something he can keep in his own keepsake box, those little reminders and the special message you write inside will warm his heart always.  He has adapted to being a Daddy so well, you must be so proud of him. 😘 

Thank you so much for taking part in the Challenge  my lovely and enjoy your very special day XXX
