More Birthday's With A Box

Hello to a very wet day in Sydney.
I said this month is busy for birthdays and here is another card and box to show you.
Now I'll warn you it is bright.

See I told you it's bright.
Now this card is special to me. Apart from the person it went to I learned how to do a bow from a very clever and talented Teneale Williams. It is from her Workshop Wow card 1 from convention and I just had to have a go. I had always been curious how she does those bows so perfect and now we know why.
The colours used for this two items are Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Very Vanilla and Pumpkin Pie.
Top Note Die for the big shot and scored across 3/4 of the way up and fold and their is your purse.
A button is placed in the center of our purse and there you have it. So simple.
Well I hope my post brightened up your day especially if it is miserable outside.
Not looking forward to the school pick up run to get soaking wet again :(
Till next time.

Birthday Purse

Howdy fellow readers.
If you read my last post I mentioned this month is a busy month for birthdays and parties.
I love the new DSP Sweet Stitches from the new Autumn - Winter Mini 121781 $16.95 and decided as the
card is for a little girl I would used it here.

It's loud I know, but I think it's what kids love.
From the Big shot I used the  Top Note Die. I cut 2 pieces stuck them together and scored 3/4's of the way up to fold over.Now you have your purse.
I embellished it with an Eyelet to disguise as a button.
The card stock buttons are embosslits also from the Autumn - Winter Mini 121813 $21.95  aren't they cute?
Hope you enjoyed the post.
See you soon
Michelle

Busy month for Birthdays

Good day to you all.

Not such a nice day out there, so stay indoors and keep warm.
I've had a few cards to make this month as their is a few birthdays going round and funny enough they are
all female.
The card I'm going to show you is a copy of a card we made at our team meeting a little while ago. Very very simple to make and yet cute.

It's like a shadow box because we used deminsionals to give it that 3d look.
The cupcake I stamped is from Got Treats and in fact I coloured it with SU's markers Blushing Bride and Peach Parfait.
For the Happy Birthday I used versa mark. Not that this photo shows it so well but I did stamp flowers on the Blushing Bride cardstock from Good Egg. If you click on the photo itself you can see it better.
So like I said a nice simple to do.
Thanks for stopping by and I'll be posting again soon.

It's been awhile.

Hello to you all out there.
As the title says it's been awhile.
Where do I begin,well I'll try and make it short.
Hubby went to the UK and came back with pains in the tum, so off to the hospital he went.
He stayed for a few days and whilst this was happening I was doing his job.
Just thinking soon he will be returning to work when he took himself back into hospital because he was in extreme pain and he had done more damage.
So still working. This time he was in hospital alsmost a week.
Again he is signed off and now for a month.
It has been at times extremely hard and it has been a complete role reversal for me and my husband.
On a happier note, it's our daughters 9th birthday today and pre-celebrated over the Mother's Day weekend. It's a very special time because I share my day with them.
Here's a card I made to share.

What's different about this card is I did a spin circle and placed it in the center of the punched flower.

Our team made something like this at Stamp Camp from a shoebox swap.

From the same flower punch is how I made the love hearts.

The colour combo is Concord Crush,Old Olive and Whisper White. 

Thank you all for stopping by.

Hello Easter

Easter is fast approaching and I thought that this year I would have a go and make an Easter card.
My inspiration for this card came from Jenny and I made a Twisted Easel Card just for a change. I had never made one of these before and like the result.

Sorry about the quility of the photo but it seemed better when I first uploaded it.
I used the Good Egg stamp set as well as Well Scripted.
DSP is Nursey Suite which is so cute and the Hostess In Color 6x6 papers.
My colour pallett is So Saffron,Baja Breeze and Pear Pizzazz.
Thanks for stopping by and having a look.

Mothers Day Bliss

I wanted to quickly show you this card before Sale A Bration ends tomorrow, as already we have
come to the end of the month.
I have made this lovely card(self praise) from the Bliss Stamp set in the Sale A Bration catalogue and my inspiration came from Deb Fearn's which I saw on Stampin Connection.

I wanted something for a card class, but thought it might be too involved for a class.
I think I will give this to my lovely mum.
I used Vallum over the title and little brads to hold it in place rather than adhesive.
The colours are Concord Crush, Pear Pizzazz (In colours) and So Saffron, all on a Whisper White background. Some of the flowers have been covered in Crystal Effects.
Enjoy looking.

She know she will be having a boy and I bought an outfit for later after he is born.

The little safety pin comes from the Short and Sweet stamp set.
Away from this subject for a minute.

For The Birthday Girl

Hi to you all out there.
I would like to show you a card I made for a little girl who's party my son was invited to on the weekend.
It is very girlie and never tried the colour combo of Certainly Celery, Pink Pirouette and Melon Mambo before.

Not an original on my part and unfortunately I'm unable to recall where I first saw the idea.
It reminded me that I too haven't used this stamp set Pony Party for a long time, so it was high time I did.

The pony was stamped with Staz On and coloured with a Pretty In Pink marker. After that I used Dazzling Diamonds to bring a bit of sparkle which I think every little loves.
With the Scalloped Circle I saw that if you use the Crop a Dile you can punch out holes to give it this affect.
Well that's it from me and hope you enjoy viewing my post.
Michelle

Supplies:
Stamp sets: Pony Party, Short & Sweet
Ink:Melon Mambo & Whisper White
Cardstock: Certainly Celery,Melon Mambo, Pink Pirouette
DSP: Brights Collection
Other:Big Shot, Circle#2 Die Cut Folder, Scalloped Circle Punch,1 1/4 punch, Chipboard 5,Scalloped Edge Punch,
Dazzling Diamonds

Embossed Birthday Card

I hope your week was grand last week and ready for a new one as from today.

I would like to show you a card I made for a special person in my life and that is my Nanna.
Last week she turned 87yrs old and still doing as well as to be expected. She always says to me I'm not getting any younger you know.
So for her I made this.

I love white embossed cardstock, as to me it seems to stand out alot more,so for the background it is Elegant Lines Embossed Die.
For the flowers the stamp set is Vintage Vogue with the use of Daffodil Delight and Real Red. For the leaves I used Old Olive.
To give it a bit of bling I've stuck on rhinestones.
Oval all stamp set for the title of the card and to finish it off a nice piece of Old Olive satin ribbon.
I hope you enjoyed stopping by.
