Trendy Trees Masculine Card

 

Here is a card I designed with the new stamp set, Trendy trees!  It is a lovely set, that I got free when I visited Stampin' Up! convention earlier this year.  You always get 1 or 2 free stamp sets when you attend - another great reason to be a demonstrator!  I had the best time at convention, spending time with some of my lovely team, learning heaps and even managing some stamping!

Anyway, back to the card.  The Trendy trees stamp set is a Two step stamping set, so you do need a Stamp-a-ma-jig (a stamp positioner) to use it well.  Click on the word stamp-a-ma-jig to see a tutorial of how to use it.  This will help you position the tree tops on the tree trunks exactly.  I like this set because it can be used for men as well as women, and it's cute!

Here are the details of the card:

Stamps:  Trendy trees, Best yet (level 1 hostess stamp set)

Card:  Baja breeze, chocolate chip, old olive, whisper white

Ink:  Riding hood red, chocolate chip, old olive, so saffron, tangerine tango.

Accessorie:  small tag punch, tag punch, antique brass brad.

I hope you like it too.  Happy Stamping!

Pocket Card!

 

Here is a pocket card I made for my lovely niece, Tarni! 

She lives a fair way away from me and so I decided to give her some money for her birthday, instead of spending money on posting a gift.  She is quite happy with this arrangement, as she loves to spend money!!

So, I needed a pretty way to package the money!  This was inspired by a card I saw by Ngaire Anderson, Stampin' Up! Demonstrator of the Year, and one of the lovliest ladies you will ever meet!

Here is the inside of the card, which is also a pocket to hold money, or a gift card:

 

I have used Holiday Treasures double sided designer series papers to decorate the card and tied it up with the beautiful riding hood red taffeta ribbon.  The circle stamp on the front is from the 'Wow Flowers' stamp set with a flower brad in the centre.

Here is another view:

 

I hope Tarni liked it.  I know she will enjoy spending the money inside!

Details:

Stamps:  Wow flowers

Card: Pretty in pink, very vanilla, riding hood red

Ink:  Riding hood red

Accessories:  Holiday treasures designer series papers, flower brad, pretty in pink marker, riding hood red taffeta ribbon, 1 inch circle punch, 1 1/4 inch circle punch.

By the way - I didn't post the card with the money inside.  It was hand delivered by her grandparents who visited her for her birthday.  What a lucky girl!  Hope you had a great birthday Tarni.

Happy Stamping!
