Mini Thank You's

Hello to you all out there.
I know I have been a bad blogger of late and unfortunately it can't be helped.
I am in the middle of packing up a house, organizing a birthday party and
sewing for my children' s school.
So when it rains it pours as they say.
I wanted to show some mini Thank You cards I made for a very special reason.
A dear friend of mine had a birthday and I wondered what could I get her for a present.
The idea of getting her a Big Shot came to mind, as I knew she'd always wanted one.
I wanted to share this idea with other friends to ask if they wanted to chip in to make this happen.
Well they kindly did and to show my appreciation I made them these cards.

The stamp set I used is called Reason To Smile, it came from the June promotion which is no longer running.
The card size is 4x4 in Pool Party and Whisper White.
After coloring in the daisies I went over it with Champagne Mist just to give it a little shimmer.
The present was well received and I am so glad we did it for her.
Thank you for stopping by.

My Hubby's Birthday

Hello to you all and happy Weekend to you.
I am posting a card for my lovely husband who turned a year older last month.
I had in my mind to use the colour Not Quite Navy this time, as it's not been a colour I have used for sometime.
I combined it with Daffodil Delight and Whisper White.

Lets see what you think.
You may recognize the stamp set which is Pennant Parade and used the coordinating punch.
I folded a piece of" Big Top Birthday"DSP at the bottom of the card.
The Happy Birthday sentiment is from "Sweet Cake" stamp set.
This was matted onto Daffodil Delight card stock.
I hope to post more until I move in the beginning of next month and then their will be a 7 year old party to organize. Busy Busy!!!
Until next time stay safe.

Ingredients:

Stamp sets: Pennant Parade and Sweet Cake

Ink: Not Quiet Navy and Daffodil Delight

Card Stock:Whisper White, Daffodil Delight and Not Quite Navy

DSP: Big Top Birthday

Other: Not Quite Navy brads, 1/2 "circle punch, White string, Lattice embossing folder

Christmas Thanks You's

Hello to you!!!
I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas break and I'm sure for most
it's back to normal as usual. For those of us in Oz and have kids we are still enjoying the Summer break and have 3 weeks left with our little monkey's.
This year, school holidays hasn't been jammed packed as they are normally, but nice not having to rush around all the time.
So for that reason I was able to sit down and make some cards for the kids to say Thank You to friends and family for the gifts they received.
This is what we have sent.

A very simple card that can easily be made.

The colours are Pear Pizzazz, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla.

This card fits into the Small Open Ended Envelopes which measures 17 x 8.9cm.

The Pear Pizzazz ribbon unfortunately is retired,but all other items used is current.

Well that's all for now.Thanks for stopping by.

Pennant Christmas

Happy Weekend everyone!!!
Time is flying by and before we know it Christmas will have been a gone.

What I am showing you today is a very easy card to make.

First of all with the Lucky Limeade ink onto the Lucky Limeade cardstock I used a stamp from Delightful Decorations and randomly stamped the card.

I used the Impressions "Stripes" folder on the Whisper White cardstock, tied it with Soft Suede dotted ribbon.(Retired).

From the Flirtatious DSP, I cut out a dolie and circle punched the centre.

Now if you have your new Mini Catti you will notice I have used the new Glimmer Paper in Silver #124005 $8.95.You get 2x 12x12 sheets. It also comes in Red. I absolutley love it and will notice with future posts.

If you haven't got a copy please email me and I'll send one out to you.(Australian Residents Only)

For the Christmas Trees I used the Pennant Parade stamp set and punched it out with the co ordinating punch Petite Pennants Builder.

To finish it off I stamped Merry Christmas from the Comtempo Christmas stamp set in Soft Suede and put it through the Big Shot using Lots Of Tags.

The tag was placed onto of another tag-Decorative Label.

And there you have it. I given a couple of these to special people in my life, so enjoy.

Until next time blog followers.

A Special Windmill Thank You!!!

My son had his birthday last month and a special card had to be made.
To do something different I made a windmill with the new DSP Just Add Cake ,#124339, $18.95.
I included some chipboard On Board clouds and sponged them in Whisper White.

From the same papers I punched out his name.
I punched with the scalloped trim edge some grass also to make it look like someone is outside with their Windmill.
The colour pallet is So Saffron, Poppy Parade, Baja Breeze and Whisper White.
Needless to say he loved his card from mum and had a great day.
As he was spoilt by many we decided to make Thank You cards.

Using the retired Nursery Suite Speciality papers to help go with the fishy scene for our cards.
The colours are Baja Breeze, Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive.
The card size were 4x4.
Well I hope you enjoyed today's post and your weekend was a great one.

Birthday Ballons

Morning to you and what a glorious morning it is in West Sydney.
I am posting a card that was for alittle girl who had just turned 5 last month and as we don't see
her very often, we finally did last weekend and personally gave it to her.
I hadn't made a side step card for ages so I decided to have a go.
I had fun decorating this card because it was bright and I had an excuse to use the new stamp set
Up, Up & Away #125034(w), #122757(c) and Big Top Birthday DSP #122348.

The other new stamp set I used was Pennant Parade #125012 (w),#122742 (c) and what is exciting
with this stamp set is, it has a matching punch to go with it. We really love this time saving idea.
My colour pallet for this card was Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise
and Whisper White.
A couple of the ballons have crystal effects on them to give that shiny look.
Well she loved the card and so do I and I hope you out there did too.
Let me know what you think I would love to hear from you.
Mant thanks
Michelle
