February Stamp Club

We are back into Stamp Club with a gusto. With a short month this next round came up quickly. Our challenge for this month was to create a recipe card. As it was my turn to hostess I decided to make it the recipe for the sticky date puddings that I took for supper. I have actually been in the process of sorting my recipes to create a box with all my favourites and had purchased a retiring stamp set from Clear Dollar Stamps to do it. This gave me the starting point combined with a favourite colour combo {early espresso seems to be my new chocolate chip}. The cupcake finished it off. It is a good thing I like my handwriting because our printer needs new ink! Gives it an extra personal touch

FYI: The dessert was very tasty and stamp club was lots of fun as usual. Looking forward to getting the goodies I ordered and having a play.

Colour: very vanilla, certainly celery, early espresso
Stamps: rough type (SU), recipe card blocks (CDS), hey cupcake (elzybells)
Finishing touches: certainly celery DSP and scallop square punch (SU), apron lace punch (fiskars)

Baby Cards

My DH asked if I could make some cards for people at work for gifts from their social club. There have been several babies born over the last few months so I have had a chance to create something special for them. I just love the patchpal stamps from Clear Dollar Stamps. They make great baby cards. Combined with different sentiments stamps there are so many different things you can do. I always take up the challenge to do something girly as well.
