Birthday wishes

Hi all, well what a strange day today waking up to a red sand storm. Not anything I've
experienced before. Cars are all covered and pathways. I'm glad no windows were left open.
Well moving on from that, I thought would post a Birthday card I sent to my sister in law. I think I used the nappy fold from splitcoaststampers.com to make this card and it was very easy. I used the Simply Scrappin' Kit "Sweet Nothings" for the papers too.

Supples:
Stamps were: For A Friend - Birthday Wishes and Embrace Life
Textured Cardstock: Pink Pirouette,Riding Hood Red,Chocolate Chip
DSP: Sweet Nothings
Scallop Punch
Riding Hood Red ribbon, Pewter hardware and Creamy Caramel marker pen.
Dusk pink pearls-not SU
I think that gives you the idea of what was used for me to make this card and it was a hit.
Enjoy

Blogging on the backburner.

Sorry bloggers for being absent for quite awhile, but visitors are among us and life has been very busy entertaining them whilst they are here.
Not much in the way of cards being done, so hopefully after they have been and gone I can get back into the swing of things.
I will be off air after my op in the middle of October, and will try to catch up when I can.
Thanks for looking.

Magnolia Down Under Challenge No:21

Here is my version of the challenge.

I did go bold and bright this time. Not usually me, but I thought I would go outside the square.

The patterened paper is from Glitz, Tombow Pink and Yellow pens. Cameo Pink ink from SU, so is the stamp FOR YOU. I coordinated the flowers, ribbons and brads with the same pink and yellow theme.

To join in with the challenge make sure you have a look at Magnolia Down Under

Thanks for looking.

Roses are Blue

Hi everyone.Forgive me, but it has been awhile. My husband and I went away to Melbourne for the weekend last week and it has taken quite awhile to get back into the swing of things since then. We went without children, which is so rare and I haven't been to Melbourne since I was a kid.( All those many years ago.)
Now the card I made here was a thank you card for a Workshop not so long ago and I thought the colours used on a rose were very different.
See what you think.


The stamps used are A Rose is A Rose and Best Yet.Cardstock used was Chocolate Chip, Not Quite Navy, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, Kiwi Kiss and Whisper White. I also used the scalloped oval punch with the large oval punch that comes from the new Mini Catalogue.
Thanks for looking.

Magnolia Down Under Challenge No:19

Winter is Here




Well I'm excited to enter into my very first challenge and I chose to use my first Tilda stamp. So I wanted to play along in the Magnolia Down Under Challenges.
I know my card has more of a Christmas feel to it, but in most places that is when it's the coldest time of year.
Some of the items used on the card are from SU and the DS paper is from Cloud 9. I added snowflakes to add that Winter feeling.





Please let me know out there what you all thought and have a great day.
Michelle

Flower in a Pot Card

I thought I would have a go at something I've never done before and went onto Splitcoaststampers.com to see what I could make for my neighbours girl for her 9th Birthday and this what I came up with.
I think this is great fun for a young girl and normally you would pay heaven and earth for something like this in the shops.

Following the tutorial was very easy and just made it to be colourful and fun.

Supplies:

Stamps:Petal Pizzazz and Great Friend

Cardstock:Basic black,Whisper White

DSP: So Saffron

Ink: Ruby Red, Pumkin Pie, Tempting Turquoise,Kiwi Kiss & Metalic Lilac (my own)

I just adore the Great Friend Stamp Set, which I will be using in her Workshop,but in a different way, which I'll be showing you all later.
Here is an idea of the things I used.

Supplies
Stamps: Great Friends & Oval All
Ink:Baja Breeze
Papers: Baja Breeze, Basic Grey and Whisper White
DSP: Urban Garden
Other: Scalloped Edge Punch, Scalloped Oval Punch and Large Oval Punch, Dimensionals.
