Week 82 Recipe

Gosh can you believe it's the last week of August! It's a holiday one for us in the UK and no doubt it will be raining. Hope you all enjoy it, whatever you are doing! OK, so onto our challenge this week it's a
RECIPE

3 - 2 - 1

This week we have a simple idea for you to use as the focus of your cards.

All that you need to do is to incorporate 3 of something, 2 of something and 1 of something else!

Sound easy? Let's hope so!

Please indicate in your posting exactly what your 3, 2 & 1 items are... don't keep us guessing

Here are ours

Chrissie

This card uses my new Baby Prints set from SU.

I have 3 words 

(bit of a cheat really as the first one is made up of two words abbreviated into one)

2 Hands

1 Ribbon

For this one I have made a heat embossed background with  Hero Arts stamp embossed with three different embossing powders.  There are also three pearls on the one butterfly, beside the two squares.

Mandi

3 flowers [or colours] 2 Buttons, 1 Aperture [or sentiment]

Quite a tricky recipe this week, especially keeping the design CAS too!
I opted for old Anita's stamps and using Stampin up Melon Mambo, Basic Grey and Old Olive I stamped the flowers, adding glitter to the solid one. The buttons were stuck to the centres to finish.
To get the apeture, using my Stampin Up stamp a ma jig I could determine the position of the Happy Birthday, made a pencil line at either end, then punched the Stampin Window Punch to create the long aperture.
[Actually took longer to explain than do!!]

3 Squares, 2 words, 1 gem
Stampin Up hearts stamped and punched out with Stamping Up Postage Stamp.
With Love computer generated. [Papyrus and Smitten Kitten fonts]

I do have a couple more examples on my personal blog.
Thank you for the few that do pop over to visit me, I really appreciate it

Enjoy this week, there's SO much scope...probably our most flexible yet!
