Pick of the Bunch Punch Stamp Set.

The current challenge at an Oldie But A Goodie challenge is the very apt April Showers, and that’s the inspiration for this cute Umberella Card.
Card Recipe:
Stamp: Hunkydory
Colouring Mediums: Memento Cocoa Ink Pad, Promarker Pens
Paper & Card: My Minds Eye, pearlescent card from stash
Tools: Tonic Studios Trellis Wall Die, Pick of the Bunch Punch & Stamp Set, Silhouette Cameo, Grand Calibur
Embellishments: double satin ribbon 5mm, crystals, pearl-ended stamen, buttons
To make this card, using my Silhouette Cameo, I cut the umbrella-shaped card base from pearlescent cardstock, with accents cut from double-sided My Minds Eye card.
I stamped the Hunkydory image three times, twice onto plain cardstock and then also onto offcuts of the My Minds Eye card. I then paper-pieced the layers together, combining using fussy cutting patterned card for the umbrella and flowers alongside colouring the main element of the image with Promarkers pens. Love the tiny baby penguin picnicing with the Hermoine Hedgehog! Tonic Studio’s Trellis Wall Die provided the perfect backdrop for my finished stamped image.
Finally, I embellished the card with flowers created using the sepal punch from the Rose Pick of the Bunch Punch & Stamp Set. I stitched a recycled mother of pearl heart button to my satin bow. The little basket is a button that I’ve had in my stash for about 10 years!

Have you, like me, been glued to the television on Tuesday nights watching the Great British Sewing Bee? Such clever hands at work, which I really envy. Whilst I’m not a sewer, I do use sewing items in my crafting, so thought I’d create a little altered tin of haberdashery goodies.
I transformed this from an empty sweet tin and a single sheet of K&Co double-sided cardstock.
Project Recipe:
Stamp: Tonic Studios Pick of the Bunch Punch & Stamp Set Rose
Colouring Mediums: Tim Holtz Weathered Wood Pad, Promarker Pens, Tattered Angels Glimmer Spritz
Paper & Card: K&Company
Tools: Tonic Studios Pick of the Bunch Punch & Stamp Set Rose, Embossalicious Button Box Folder, Spellbinders, Grand Calibur, Tonic Studios Daisy Circle Die
Embellishments: Lace, pearl buttons, flat-back pearls, double satin ribbon 3mm, hand-made beaded Hat Pins, pearl-ended stamen
To alter the tin lid, I cut base circles using my spellbinders dies toped this off with a die-cut daisy doily using my Tonic die. For the top of the tin, I cut the centre out of the doily using a circle die. These lined both the top and underside of the tin lid.
To embellish the tin lid, I made the rose using Tonic Studios Pick of the Bunch Punch & Stamp Set Rose. This provides lovely detail to your handmade flowers as you can stamp each punched petal with a co-ordinating stamp. I stamped my petals using Tim Holtz Distress Pad in Weathered Wood before spritzing the petals with Tattered Angels Glimmer Spritz to give them a soft subtle sheen. With the Daisy
Circle, I took the little daisy offcuts from the die and as I had cut these from double sided cardstock, I inset them back into the circle but using the reverse pattern, before finishing with tiny flat back pearls.
Inside the lid, I lined it with a circle of paper embossed, very aptly, with my Embossalicious Button Box Folder from Crafters Companion, before topping with a doily cut with my daisy circle punch.
The tin was trimmed with a strip of cardstock. Using a Promarker, I then coloured some 3mm double satin ribbon to co-ordinate with my paper and threaded it through the Lace trim. I also used the same Promarker to cutom-colour the thread I put through some pretty mother of pearl buttons as a finishing touch to the lace trim.
Finally, I distressed a doily with Antique Linen and Weathered Wood and used it to line the tin. I used the final bits of my 12” double-sided cardstock to create card tags to hold a selection of lace, ribbon, buttons, brads and hatpins to put into my tin of haberdashery loveliness.
