Pocket Silhouettes 4 Square Card!

 

Here is a card that I was inspired to create from a swap I received at Stampin' Up! convention from Sue Madex.  Thanks Sue! 

I have changed the colours, added patterned paper (the lovely Raspberry Tart) and ribbon and used some punches (eyelet border and small oval) so it is quite a different card now - but the basic sketch of the card is still the same!

This card may be familiar to some of you because you got to create it at my demonstrations in May as your 'make and take'. 

If you live within 1 hour of Windsor in Sydney and would like to make a card with your friends as well as be shown the benefits of some Stampin' Up! products, why not book a demonstration with me.  Call me on  45 777 504 or email me at jocam_wassens@hotmail.com to book a date.  It's Free!

This card is also great to remind you that one of the specials for May is on Stampin' Up!s lovely patterned papers.  If you purchase 3 of the chosen packs you get the 4th pack free!  Call or email me to get your order in before 6pm on the 31 May.  You can find all the packs that are included in the special on this page and you can view them in the online catalogue here on pages 132 to 135.

Masculine Card!

 

Here is one of the cards you could have created if you attended my embossing card classes this month.  It is a card especially for the males in your life.  Of course you didn't have to put the beer mugs on your card, you could choose to put leaves on your card instead, if you liked. Because not all our male friends and family like beer, or are they frothy milkshakes?  I'll leave that up to you to decide!

The mugs are actually stamped in versamark ink then embossed with white embossing powder so they are shiny and stand out a little more.  I also used the sanded background stamp which is perfect for male cards.  The stamp set is called 'Cheers to you' and also contains some other types of glasses so is great for lots of occasions.

You still have a few days left to join my Stampin' Up! team for only $150.  Email me or call me on 02 45 777 504 if you are interested.  You need to act quickly if you are, the offer ends on 1 June 2009!

Happy Stamping!

Sparkly Cupcake Card

 

My niece Alice, turned 1 last month so I made her this special card. She lives in Singapore and unfortunately I have not met her in person yet.  Hopefully I will get to meet her soon.  Having family in different countries all around the world does mean we don't get together much, but when we do it is very special indeed.

I wanted the card to be sparkly so I used my new Pink Supa nova glitter from Stampin' Up!  It is just fantastic!  I also embossed the base of the cupcake with white embossing powder to give it a gloss finish.  Some sponging, pink pirouette ribbon and the eyelet border punch finished the card off nicely.

Here is a close up of the cupcake in all it's glory!:

 

I hope you had a wonderful day Alice.  I hope to meet you very soon.

Card Details:

Stamps:  Party hearty

Ink:  Versamark, pretty in pink

Card: Confetti white, pretty in pink, sage shadow

Accesories: Pink Supa nova glitter, heat and stick powder, white embossing powder, pink pirouett ribbon, eyelet border punch, sponges, dazzling diamonds glitter (for top of candle), stampin dimensionals.

Happy Mother's Day

 

I hope that all mother's out there are having a wonderful day being spoilt by their children. 

I also wanted to say 'Happy Mother's Day' to my Mum!  I hope you are having a lovely day too Mum.  Thanks for all that you do for me and your Grandchildren.  You are one in a million!

This card uses the new A rose is a rose stamp set - a lovely set, perfect for feminine cards. 

Enjoy your day!

My Convention Swaps 2009

 

Here are the actual cards that I made to swap at Stampin' Up! Convention this year.  I started by making about 20 of the one on the left.  My main aim was to make a masculine card, that you could give to your Dad, brother or other male relative or friend.  Then I decided to make a few more swaps and chose so saffron as the new colour.

I recieved some absolutely fantastic swap cards in return for mine - now my sample boards and containers are filled to overflowing with great cards made using Stampin' Up! products.  To see all my new swap cards why not book a demonstration with me or come to one of my card making classes.

Happy Stamping!

Autumn Flair Leaf Card

 

Here is another card I made using the new Level 2 hostess stamp set, Autumn Flair.  I have tried for a more masculine card using chocolate chip and kiwi kiss.  This set is a two-step stampin' set as you can see the leaves have a base image and and overlay image stamped on top - to create an impression of more dimension in the images.

I am happy with how it turned out and think it is a card that would be good for most occasions.  I hope you like it too.

Rachel's birthday card!

 

Continuing on from my last post... Here is a similar card, using the same sketch, that I made for my lovely friend and downline Rachel for her birthday. 

I wanted to 'step up' the card and make it more feminine, so I used my brand new Eyelet border punch, It's beautiful wheel, some extra taffeta ribbon, changed the colours and added some glitter, of course.  I couldn't give Rachel a card without glitter - she just loves her bling!  I think she liked it!

Here is a close up, it is difficult to see the glitter - I added it to the centers of the flowers on the background for just a hint of sparkle.

 

Enoy!  Happy Stamping!
