March Workshop

Hi everybody, I have managed to set aside some time to post a quickie for you.
Earlier this month a regular client of mine had a workshop and we made two cards which could be a femine and masculine choice.
We had a great time and all enjoyed a lovely afternoon.Thank you Kate.
Here are the samples we made.

and here is the other.

We used the Happy Moments stamp set from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue which you can earn yourself if you order through me and spend over $100, it's as easy as that.

The Baja Breeze card has a pop out effect, by stamping the image twice and then punch out a circle on the second stamp, which I then stuck on a dimensional to make it look 3D.Very simple and very effective.

Supplies:(First Card)

Stamp Set:Happy Moments SAB

Cardstock:Kraft, Whisper White, Baja Breeze

DSP:Walk In The Park

Ink:Basic Grey and Baja Breeze

Other:Baja Breeze Grosgrain Ribbon, dauber, 1/2"punch, 3/4"punch &1 3/4"punch.

Supples:(Second card)

Stamp Set: Happy Moments SAB

Cardstock:Kraft, Whisper White, So Saffron

DSP: Walk  In The Park

Ink:Kiwi Kiss

Summer Mini Birthday Card

A busy day for me today and so I thought I'd squeeze in this card quickly.
Hubby had to have an operation today and it's just day surgery, but I'm on stand by as to when to come and
get him.
Now this card that I made is for a dear friend of mine back in England and am pleased to say that they will be paying us a visit later on this month, which is very exciting.
I used the Butterfly Prints stamp set from the Summer Mini Catalogue which is still running until the 31st of March. Then I used my favorite Designer Papers Bella Rose.I added Choco Chip and Riding Hood Red to
tie it all together.

Now I did use my own little pearls. Here are the items I used for this card.

Thanks for looking.

Right here is another birthday card to show with the colour palet being Baja Breeze, So Saffron,Chocolate Chip and Whisper White.

Thank you with Butterflies

I love to make a card and to send them knowing I made it.
From the Summer Mini I used the Butterfly Prints set and punch which is really handy to save time on cutting.
This is going to a lovely couple who allowed for my family to stay in their home whilst on the Sunshine Coast
last week and made us feel right at home.
So here is what I came up with.

The colour combo with the Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze and So Saffron gave it that soft look.
I brought out a favorite stamp set Baroque Motif as this is a very versatile stamp set. With this set I used Versa mark just to give a faint impression.

Supplies:
Stamp Sets:Butterfly Prints, Baroque Motifs and Warm Words
Cardstock:Kraft,Baja Breeze, So Saffron,Whisper White
Ink:Baja Breeze, So Saffron, Choco Chip and Versa mark
DSP:Bella Rose
Other: Copper Hodge Podge,Chocolate Chip Taffata Ribbon, Scollaped Oval Punch, Oval Punch

Birthday Cupcakes

Good afternoon, to you all. Today my twin girls were invited to go to a Skating Party and one had been before and the other had not. They thoroughly enjoyed themselves despite the cold and a fall. Not too bad really. So of course, I had to make a card for the occassion and stumbled upon Crazy For Cupcakes, as
I feel it's very girlie.

images © 1990-2010 Stampin' Up!®

The colours used on this card was Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood, Choco Chip, Regal Rose and Whisper White.
I used watercolour to colour in the cupcake and did frosting on the sprinkles. It's good enough to eat.

Supplies:
Stamps: Crazy For Cupcakes & Happy Moments
Cardstock: Pink Pirouette, Chocolate chip, Whisper White
DSP:Bella Rose
Ink:StazOn, Regal Rose, Choco chip,Pink Pirouette
Other: 1-1/4" Pink Pirouette Ribbon, Glitter mixed with white embossing powder.

Thanks so much for looking.

Birthday Time Again

Well it seems to be a time for a few birthdays ans so I got started last night and continued onto today
to get them finished and onto my blog.
I have also been away to Queensland for a mini break which was really lovely and very hot!!!!
Anyway, about the card.
I got my inspiration from  a lady who has Keepstampin and I thought the colour combo was nice and mature looking and of course I have twicked it to put my touches to it.

This card is for my Nanna who will be 86 yrs old next month.
I actually used Versamark with the birdcage on the black, but it didn't come out in the photo. I also did some frosting on the birdcage to give a bit of bling.

The supplies used are Happy Moments (from SAB) and Baroque Motifs Stamp Sets .Black, Kiwi Kiss & Whisper White cardstock.Versa Mark,Staz On and Kiwi Kiss Inks.Mixed Glitter and White embossing  powder onto 2 way glue to make frosting.

Thanks for looking.

Sweet Birthday

As I had such fun with making my husbands Valentines card I thought I would continue with the same

stamp set and make a little girl a birthday card.
My son has been invited to a birthday party this weekend and I like how colourful you can go with the sweets and jellybeans you can stamp inside the gumball machine. Great for a childs card.
