Quick Cards In A Hurry!!!

Today I had a spare 10 minutes and whilst rummaging in a draw I found some chipboard's I had not used so wanted to make a few cards that I could call on in a hurry.

Hope you enjoy...

Latest Designs - Stamping Fun!!!!

Been having fun again with stamps and ink.............

Here are 4 cards I have made using Stampin Up! stamps and melon mambo paper, ribbon & inks.

I didn't want to use backing paper so I created my own on white card by stamping a random circular pattern which worked really well with the ribbon and cake stamp. I am going to try this again in lots of different colour ways - just new a few spare minutes!!!!!!

Lots of Fun with Cosmic Shimmer Mist!!!!!!

I have had so much fun this weekend trying out new products.

My in-laws offered to have the children for the weekend so I indulged in a bit of me time and created a LOT of mess with my craft stash - but I certainly enjoyed it......

I had never tried Cosmic Shimmer Mist before but had seen a beautiful card made with it in my local craft shop so thought I would have a go.

With these cards I stamped the images in white ink and then embossed them with clear powder. Once completely dry I then sprayed the Cosmic Shimmer Mist all over and left outside to dry. I will certainly go back for more colours now as I was really pleased with the effect.

More HunkyDory Perfect Parisienne Cards as promised....

Here are the other cards I promised I would load yesterday (really sorry, ran out of time!!!!). All have been made with the HunkyDory Perfect Parisienne Kit which is just Divine!!!

This set is really luxurious and I still have lots left to make more cards....

This is my favourite card, made with the pyramage sheet - for some reason I just love images of the Eiffel Tower at the mo and this set just really stood out.

Hope you all have a good Bank Holiday.

Got My Crafting Mojo Back......Hunkydory Perfect Parisienne Kit

Nothing spurs me on more than new stock and I just could not wait to get my hands on this new HunkyDory Perfect Parisienne Kit I have had my eye on for a while.

I have had crafters block for the past week and no matter how many times I have sat down to try and craft nothing has worked so thought I would give this kit ago and I am really pleased with what this kit has to offer.

My first project was a folder (big red card in the middle) which holds 5 cards and envelopes inside. I have only photographed 2 cards here as the others are very similar.

I have made lots more cards and still have plenty left to make more which I will add later today. For full details on the kit and its contents please visit our website - www.inspirecreationz.com/shop/department/hunkydory
