Inspired by cards on SCS and a download from UStamp, I made a 'boxed' set of cards yesterday for someone on UKS so can't post a picci yet, but made another set this afternoon...

Used SU 'Doodle This' stamp, water coloured with pens and pencils trying to get the right combo. Most card stock was already in the cupboard (Bazzil), Patterned paper 'Pocket Full of Posies' (DCWV), 1/4" circle punch, 3/8" circle punch, Scallop Circle Punch, eyelet punch, ribbon & coloured self adhesive gems.

Better make a card or three if I want to be in with a chance, hadn't I.

Leo - we've sold five of the puppies now and they're being collected by their new owners at various times over the weekend. Do you think coping with three will be less exhausting?!!!!

Spotted the August card theme, and I've just done a card that I think might fit with it.

[Mole]

[Balloobear]

Here is my attempt at a summer card, I have used a stamo from Funky Kits, K & Co Berry Sweet Paper, a Doodlebug bloom and a button and ribbon:)

[PapermadMand]

Well even though its a dull bank holiday monday I somehow found inspiration to make a summery coloured card :lol: I used the fantastically named sei -anna's bananas and core colour in sunflower and basic grey-creme brulee for the cupcake. The stamp for the tag is "cupcake wish" by Kolette Hall and I used some oddments of ribbon.

[clairewill]

Love all of your bright summery cards so far x

Here's a card I made over the weekend for my parents' wedding anniversary, using some summery Sassafrass Sunshine Lollipop papers and Penny Black sheep! But I just couldn't get those alpha stamps in any kind of straight line!

Lovely cards, everyone!!

Here's my effort (getting in last minute!!)!

Excuse the black around the edge. That's not part of the card. I had to put that there as the card didn't scan properly with the white border!

[Mystik Nat]

Fab cards everyone! So glad to see so many of you taking part. I managed a summery offering today too ;)
