Beautiful Blue Birthday

Hey All
             This card uses one of my favourite new stamp sets from the Occasions Catalogue - Timeless Textures.  This set is great for using in backgrounds and is very versatile.  I created this card as a CASE (Copy and Share Everything) card from page 7 of the Sale-a-Bration Catalogue.  I tried to use similar blue inks for the flowers and nice bright green inks for the leaves.





Project Recipe:
Stamps: What I Love, Sky is the Limit, Timeless Textures
Ink Pacific Point, Tempting Turquoise, Pool Party, Garden Green, Pear Pizzazz
Card: Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz
Big Shot: Rose Garden Thinlits, Magnetic Platform
Accessories: Clear Wink of Stella Brush, Tear Tape Adhesive, Dimensionals

Cheers and happy stamping,

Cute Curvy Keepsake


Hiya Everyone,
                         Here's a cute little box I made for a girlfriend a while ago to hold a gift for each of the guests at her wedding.  It was part of a whole suite of handmade goodies I made for her.  I                  co-ordinated all of the items by using the same colour card - Pacific Point and Shimmery White, the same focal stamp set Medallion (it's retired) and Silver 1/8" Ribbon.  As I'm a little bit of a perfectionist I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig so that the Medallion was centred on the bottom of the box and each of the points was centred, just in case anyone checked.




Project Recipe:
Stamps: Medallion (retired), Tiny Tags (retired)
Ink: Pacific Point
Card: Pacific Point, Shimmery White
Big Shot:Magnetic Platform, Curvy Keepsake Thinlits
Punches: Banner
Accessories: 1/8" Silver Ribbon, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Tear Tape Adhesive, Paper Snips

Happy stamping,

Bringing Back Birthdays

Hi Everyone

                    As you've no doubt noticed I've been birthday obsessed lately.  The lovely and talented Shannon West has created a new movement called #imbringingbirthdaysback.  To hear Shannon's Story in her own words check out theStampin' Up! Blog

As a result of the popularity of this movement Stampin' Up! has created a custom single stamp #imbringingbirthdaysback it has been released in the US already but will be released in other markets shortly, just a matter of shipping them to us I'm sure.  I can't wait to get my hands on one, to stamp the back of my birthday cards and maybe even some birthday cards.

So here's another one of the birthday cards I've designed recently,



Project Recipe:
Stamps: Grateful Bunch, Sky is the Limit
Ink Archival Basic Black, Mossy Meadow, Cajun Craze
Card: Mint Macaron, Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Botanical Gardens DSP
Punches: Blossom Bunch
Accessories: Mint Macaron Marker, Basic Pearls, Tear Tape Adhesive, Dimensionals


 Happy Stamping and Inky Fingers

Birthday Skies

Hey All
             This card is one I designed for my Dad for his birthday earlier this year.  Like a lot of stampers I sometimes find designing a masculine card a little more challenging.  For Dad's card I used my new favourite Sale-a-Bration stamp set Sky is the Limit and the wonderful Going Places Designer Series Paper Stack.  I also used some retired Stampin' Up! products that I had in my craft room.

 

Project Recipe:
Stamps: Sky is the Limit
Ink:  Lost Lagoon, Basic Black Archival Ink
Card: Lost Lagoon, Whisper White, Basic Black, Going Places Designer Series Paper Stack
Big Shot etc: Cloudy Day Embossing Folder (retired)
Punches: 21/2" Circle Punch
Accessories: Basic Grey Striped Satin Ribbon, Sponge Daubers, Paper Snips, Tear Tape Adhesive, Dimensionals


Happy stamping and inky fingers

Give a Little Thanks

Hey Stampers
                       This weeks card is a Thank You card that I made for a friend of mine, it's part of a suite of goodies that I made for her that all co-ordinate together.  I'll be sharing the other projects shortly.  I always love making thank you cards, I find it a nice touch to give a handmade thank you card to help express my gratitude for a kind act or some help rendered.  For my friend I chose to take out the retired Stampin' Up! Medallion Stamp and Curly Cute Stamp Set both of which I thoroughly love.  They are such versatile stamps and I have used them both many times.



Project Recipe:
Stamps: Medallion, Curly Cute
Ink: Pacific Point
Card: Pacific Point, Shimmery White
Punches: Banner
Accessories: 1/8" Silver Ribbon, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Tear Tape Adhesive, Dimensionals

Cheers
