Garden Whimsy, Little girl birthday cards

 

I recently held a card making class for some lovely ladies who were after some 'girly' birthday cards for upcoming birthday parties their daughters would be attending.  This is the card I designed for them.

I used the lovely Garden Whimsy stamp set with colours from the soft subtles colour family.  The scallop edge punch and scallop circle punch added some nice "girly" detail to the card.  Then I finished it all off with some dazzling diamonds glitter because every girl needs a little bling on her card! 

Here is a close up of the glitter on the butterfly:

 

They really liked the cards which made me very happy.  I hope you like them too.

Here is the entire group:

 

Details:

Stamps:  Garden whimsy, sincere salutations

Card:  Almost amethyst, blush blossom, lavendar lace, certainly celery, very vanilla, pretty in pink

Ink:  Lavendar lace, pretty in pink, certainly celery, almost amethyst

Accessories:  scallop edge punch, scallop circle punch, stampin dimensionals, dazzling diamonds glitter, white gel pen

All through the Year Card

 

Here is another one of the cards that our guests got to make at my team's Bon Voyage Card Making Night last week.  A simple design but great for any occasion. 

It uses the lovely stamp set All through the Year.  A set with 8 different images (flower, acorn, leaves, snowflake, heart, star, butterfly and cherries) that can be used to make a whole range of different cards and projects. 

This set is retiring at the end of the month.  Call me or email me if you would like to order it before it is gone for good.  It also has a coordinating flower wheel: garden annuals.

This is the stamp set and wheel I use to decorate my Year of Cards booklet, which many of you may recognise! 

 

If you would like to make this booklet then simply get together a group of 4 or more friends and give me a call to book a date.

Happy Stamping!

Bon Voyage 'Looks Like Spring'

 

Together with my team, the Creative Stampers, I am holding a 'Bon Voyage' Card Making Night tonight in Quakers Hill to raise money for the Cancer Council.  We have hired a hall and collaborated to offer our guests 10 different cards they can make for $20.  $5 of this is donated to the Cancer Council.

It has been a wonderful team effort and I have really enjoyed working with my team members to create cards and decide all the details of the night.  Above is one of the cards that our guests can make (or very similar!)  There will also be lucky door prizes, great special offers, raffles and light supper.

If you would like to attend nights like this, that we will hold in the future, then sign up for my monthly newsletter (top left box on my website) to be kept informed.

We have created all the cards using retiring stamp sets and products.  This card uses Looks Like Spring stamp set and the matching Spring bouquet flower punch.  A great set because you can stamp the 3 flower stamp in the set then punch them out using the matching punch.  This means you can create flower embellishments for your projects and cards in any colour you require!!  How fantastic!  This stamp set and punch are only available until the end of March.

To place an order with me simply call me on 0408 657 258 or email me at jocam_wassens@hotmail.com

Happy Stamping!

March Card Making Class

 

Here are the 2 cards you can make at my card making class later this month, on Thursday 26 March at either 10am or 7.30pm.  You make 5 of each design (10 cards althogether!)

Cost is $20 per person  There is also the option to purchase envelopes you can stamp to match your cards for another $3.  This includes all materials. 

These cards use the techniques of '2-step stamping' and 'direct to paper', so come along if you would like to learn these techniques.

My classes are held in McGraths Hill, Sydney (about 5 minutes from Windsor).  Bookings are essential.  Beginners are most welcome.

If you can't make it on this date, but have a group of friends (4 or more) who would like to make cards, why not book a card making class at your home.

Contact  me on (02) 45 777 504    OR    0408 657 258    OR via email at jocam_wassens@hotmail.com  to book your place or ask me about a card making class at your home.

Both of the stamp sets we are using are retiring, Petal Prints and Artfully Asian.  They are my favourite sets, so I will be bidding them a fond farewell at the end of the month.  Click here to see the entire list of Retiring Products.
