XMAS CARD

Hello again,
I haven't been here for a while and I do apologise, I have been busy with classes and Xmas Cards.
This is a favourite card of mine. The tree is made with certainly celery patterned paper and a heart punch, and layered over the top of each other. Very effective don't you think.
The other supplies are certainly celery and whisper white card stock, certainly celery brads and ribbon and bravo burgandy (put through the crimper) for the tree base. A gold star and a bit of glitter to finish off and you have a very easy and lovely to look at Xmas card. I hope you like it.

MONDAY MORNING CREATIVITY

Hi Everyone,

I was feeling creative and have just recieved this free Hostess Set, 'Oh So Lovely', so I thought I would play for a bit. This is the card I came up with. I love this set, and it's FREE if you host a workshop and have sales totaling $300.00.

I used Certainly Celery card and the Weathered background stamp.

I stamped the image on watercolour paper and used markers and an aqua brush to colour.

I then layered onto Summer Sun and Always Artichoke and used the wide Certainly Celery grosgrain ribbon. The happy birthday is from the 'It's Your Birthday' stamp set, and its on watercolour paper, summer sun, and always artichoke card.

I finished off with gold brads. The scallops are done with the corner punch and the 1/16 circle punch.

I hope you like this card.

BAROQUE MOTIFS CARD

Hello everyone,

You get two photos today, as I can't delete one. This card was CASED from splitcoaststampers, Different stamp set but same colours.

I put a scallop edge on the Whisper White card, using the corner punch, and attached it to Rose Red card. I used the Baroque Motifs swirl as a background, and used the round scallop punch to punch out the image, then cut out another image to layer on top, and put a brad in the middle.

I attached these to Rose Red card card and layered onto Cameo Coral and Barely Banana, wrapping wide Regal Rose grosgrain ribbon around this and adding a white bow. I added a greeting, you could put any greeting you like, and the card was finished. I like these colours together, and they are on the SU Colour Wheel, which gives you heaps of colour combinations that you probably wouldn't think of yourself (Like these colours).

CHRISTMAS CARDS

Hello Everyone,
I have cased this layout from a very creative person at Stampact. I love the colours and this xmas stamp set.
The card is Whisper White and I have used the Wintergreen DSP and Sage Shadow to decorate.
I stamped the tree in Sage Shadow twice and layered it onto Whisper White and Sage Shadow and sponged the edges with sage shadow chalk from the pastels.
I then stamped the swirl over this, masking the tree, and added the greeting, both in Sage shadow ink.
Gold Brads and some ribbon, finished the card. I love this card and it makes me feel happy.
I hope you like it too.

MORE BIRTHDAY CARDS FOR MY SON

I made this card for my Son's birthday. I wanted a masculine card, and even though I used the Wild About You Stamp Set, which is a very cute set, I still think it is a masculine card. I used Close to Cocoa, Always Artichoke, So Saffron and Whisper White cardstock.

I used the Word Window Punch to punch out the greeting and metal brads to finish.

The background is from the Rough Texture Jumbo Wheel, using Chocolate Chip ink. Very Masculine effect. I know he will like this card.

All the supplies are from the Stampin'Up Catalogue, and available to purchase from me.

MY SON'S BIRTHDAY

Hi everyone,

It's my son's birthday on Saturday so I made this card for his 14 month old daughter to give to him. It uses the All in the Family Stamp set, the Family Phases set and the Family Favorites Set. These sets are so much fun to use and you can make cards for anyone and any occasion with them.

I used the Perfect Plum, Pretty in Pink and Whisper White cardstock.

I used the Fire Rhinestone Brads and finished with the Regal Rose wide grosgrain ribbon.

If you would like to purchase any of these items, or ask any questions, please call me and I would love to have a chat or arrange a workshop or class for you.

RAINY SUNDAY

Hi Everyone,
I hope my pictures are improving. They can only get better.
As it was raining, and I was inside, I decided to play with my stamps. I used the Stipple Rose again, and the bleaching technique. I love this technique. It's so easy and so nice to look at. The Stipple Rose stamp is great for this, and makes a beautiful card.
The card colours are Garden Green, Barely Banana, Whisper White, Certainly Celery and Rose Red. This combination is straight from the Stampin'Up Colour Wheel. If you have trouble with colour combinations, this is the best investment you could make. You will never have trouble matching colours again.
I used the corner punch to make the scalloped edge, and the small hole punch to decorate it.
The ribbons are the wide Certainly Celery and the narrow Certainly Celery, and White. I finished the card off with 3 eyelets in the top corner and a Happy Birthday greeting.

Stampin'Up has a great promotion for the month of September. If you purchase a specially selected stamp set, they will give you the matching Wheel set for FREE! If you would like to find out more about this great offer, please contact me and I will tell you all about it.
Hope you enjoy your Sunday.
