...couple o' reddy pinky cards...



ED - the teeny flower on the second card is from the With Sympathy set from PTI

Broke out the Guidelines 2 set from PTI!! to make the patterned paper, it's fab - check it out here. Really need some time to play around with this set but I just wanted to make a card and that's what came out. Cupcake is from the equally delicious Anniversary set! I would need an extra 24 hours in a day - so many ideas, so little time! Lol. Pure poppy, Melon Berry and Hibiscus Burst!

Second card was an attempt at a colour challenge from last week which kinda fell by the wayside, finished it in the interest of not wasting it!! Lol - I'm getting very scrupulous with scraps in the wake of the current economy. Lol. Pure poppy, Melon Berry and Sweet blush! Also a Tim Holtz distress ink - think it was that antique Linen one.

Be sure to check out the release party tonight at PTI!! they're debuting more stamp sets even as I'm just receiving my sets from the last release!!!


And isn't that just a fabulous beach? Stocker strand (or, the big beach at Portsalon!) on the Fanad peninsula. The wee village on the far shore is Portsalon, crackin' wee spot!! lol.

Hope it tickles!

    You make the most beautiful things. I am always so inspired when I visit your blog!
    I don't know why it is taking the Papertrey people so long to notice your talent and put you on their team!!


    Thanks for sharing all of your beautiful ideas :D

    Such beautiful cards Claire. I love both - and do I see a distressed edge? (I was going to recommend a tool from Tim Holtz a couple of weeks ago!) Hope all is well with you and your family.

    Your Guidlines 2 background is so beautiful- I didn't get it before it was sold out! I love the second card with the vines, beautiful and soft!

    I love your creations! I agree, I never seem to have enough time to just sit and play. I bought Gridlines 2 but haven't used it yet...what a sin!!! Thanks for the inspiration! Maybe tomorrow night I'll give it a whirl!! see you at the party!!

    I love both cards but the second one caught my eye. I love the 'vine' stamp. SO beautiful.

    Love your cards Claire! the bg design is just beautiful! (I tried to order that set and it's still sold out!) and the blossoms on the second are just so simple and lovely!

    I'm loving your pics too! Hope things are going well with your wee one!

    Amazing cards Claire! Love everything about both of them.

    Love the photo of the strand too. I've been to Donegal & the Fanad peninsula. Heaven on earth! Everything in me wants to go back for a long, long visit.
