Raspberry Delights

Hi Everyone

I hope you have had an enjoyable weekend. It was very chilly here in Melbourne and no rain, unfortunately. On the Mojo Monday website this week I found a link to the Verve monthly challenge for June, comprising 5 card sketches. After looking at these I decided to set myself a challenge to make all 5 using the yummy Raspberry Tart Designer Series Paper and the matching cardstock. So in between the chores, I found time to make the first two cards.

The first is a square card which is one of my favourite shapes and gives plenty of real estate to work with. I have used the Embrace Life and Eastern Blooms stamp sets to make the centre panel. The flowers were stamped and cut out and then raised on dimensionals for depth. The sentiment is from the Level 1 Hostess set Best Yet. I have used this set a lot because it works so well with the Stampin' Up! punches. The rest is pretty straightforward and the details are below.

Card Details
*Stamps*	Embrace Life, Eastern Blooms, Best Yet (Level 1 Hostess)
*Cardstock & Papers*	Bazzill White, Kiwi Kiss, Rose Red, Cameo Coral, Whisper White, Raspberry Tart DSP
*Ink*	Kiwi Kiss, Rose Red, Cameo Coral
*Accessories*	Kaiser flat back pearls (two sizes)
*Tools*	Ticket Punch (not available here), Circle punches, Dimensionals, Mat Pack & paper piercer

The second card is very girly, but I love the combination of Pretty in Pink, Rose Red and Kiwi Kiss with the Raspberry Tart DSP. I have used the lovely brocade diamond from the Friends 24-7 stamp set, stamped off first, in the centre of the oval and then stamped the sentiment from Best Yet over the top in Rose Red . I have added a Kiwi Kiss button from Button Bouquet which I tied with some matching stranded cotton from my extensive collection from my cross stitching days. Here it is, I hope you like it.

Card Details
*Stamps*	Friends 24-7, Best Yet (Level 1 Hostess)
*Cardstock & Papers*	Pretty in Pink, Kiwi Kiss, Rose Red, Whisper White, Raspberry Tart DSP
*Ink*	Pretty in Pink, Rose Red
*Accessories*	Pretty in Pink Taffeta ribbon, Button Bouquet, pink grosgrain ribbon (not SU!)
*Tools*	Oval & Scallop Oval Nestabilities, Cuttlebug, Eyelet Border punch, Dimensionals.

Monday is normally my day off, but I am working so that I can have Friday off instead. Thursday night is my favourite night of the month – Stamp Club when us girls get together and chat, nibble, laugh and off course stamp! It is generally a late night so being able to sleep in on Friday is sooooo good.

I hope to be back later in the week with more Raspberry Delights.

Judy.
