PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE - JULY

Hi Everyone

Happy Wednesday!

Another scheduled post from me .. .. this time for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge.

This month they would like to see "Buttons and Bows" so here are mine:




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "4320H" Prize Cupcake
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat (sadly no longer available)
Backing Papers:  GCD Studios "Tea Time"  (I am determined to use some of these old stacks up but believe it or not I have some that are far older than this!!  I wonder if paper stacks will ever be collectors items on The Antiques Roadshow LOL!!).
Spellbinder Nestabilties:  Standard Circle and Scalloped Circle
Martha Stewart Edge Punch:  Daisy
Woodware Punch:  Daisy
My Trust Sewing Machine
ProMarkers
Glossy Accents
Glamour Dust
Buttons and Ribbon from My Crafty Stash Box

Thank you for all your lovely comments on my Teeny Tiny Tuesday card.  I went to put my inserts into the ones I had made and at that point realised they are actually a little bit bigger than I said.  They are actually 3.5" x 3.5" so an extra half inch each way to play with.  Not that it makes that much difference in the grand scheme of things.

So pleased you liked them.  They are certainly making me look at all my stamps and dies a little differently. All the ones that are too small for what I call a "normal" sized card are coming into their own on the teeny tiny ones!

As this is another scheduled post from me today I will link my entry up later.

Hope you are enjoying your day.

Love

  2. Oh Jules, this is so sweet! Love the hedgie and those papers are beautitful. I am not familiar with the British papers so they look new to me.
    I too am working on using up old stash and it is fun to see how many things that are quite old still look great!

    Love your pretty design...I have those same buttons! Small world!

  18. Oh this card is just too sweet Jules! I love the hedgehog with his cupcake and wagon. The flowers and buttons and bow is just perfect as is the color combo and papers. Too cute!! Aren't the smaller stamps just perfect for the little cards?!! 3.5 x 3.5 is a great size too, and no a half an inch doesn't make muc of a difference in the grand scheme of things. lol Hugs, Brenda
