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,
                                         

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

                                                 

Sky is the Limit

I really like the "Sky is the Limit" Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set, as soon as I saw it in the catty I knew I had to have it.  I like the font for the greetings and the airplane image is so versatile.  I have seen lots of beautiful cards made with this set and am seeing lots of brown and blue colour combinations.  I decided I wanted to try something a little different.  So I used a combination of Elegant Eggplant, Smoky Slate and Basic Grey balanced with some Whisper White.
