Fancy Embrace Life Card!

 

This card is not my usual style!  It is a bit 'fancier'.  What do you think?

The images are from the lovely "embrace life" stamp set.  I have used the Stampin' Write makers to ink up the main image so it is two tone.

Here are the other supplies I have used:

Stamps:  Embrace Life, basic phrases

Ink:  Rose red, always artichoke

Card:  Very vanilla, always artichoke, rose red

Accessories:  Flower designer brad, vanilla wide grosgrain ribbon, eyelet border punch, rose red stampin write marker, always artichoke stampin write marker.

Happy Stamping!

Pick a Petal, two step stamping

 

Here is a card I made to demonstrate "Two step stamping". 

Two step stamping is when you stamp a 'base image' initially onto your card then stamp an "overlay image" directly over the top of the base image. In this case I stamped the polka dot petals from the Pick a Petal stamp set then stamped the outline petals directly over the top. 

I used my trusty stamp-a-ma-jig (stamp positioning tool from Stampin Up!)to help me to line up the overlay petals exactly.  The two step stamping creates an image with depth and makes it really 'pop' from the card.

It is a simple card, but quite striking.  The colour 'Pacific point' really assists in making a statement.  Some silver brads and a flower filigree brad in the centre of the flower finsh off the card.  Of course there are a few punches used too!  The wide oval punch is great to frame the large oval.

I love the new Riding Hood Red wide striped grosgrain ribbon in the Spring Mini Catalogue!   The stripey ornament in the "Tree Trimmings" stamp set (also in the Spring Mini) just goes with it perfectly.

Glittery sticky cut butterflies

 

Here is a card I made with the aim of showcasing the Stampin' Up! product "Sticky Cuts".  These are sticky shapes that you can add to your projects and then apply glitter to them to make them sparkly!

In this case I chose the butterflies from the "Sticky Cuts - Sweets" pack.  I added pink "Supernova glitter", which is just beautiful and perfect to 'bling up' girly cards!

I have finished off the card using "pocket silhouettes" (one of my favourite stamp sets) and some certainly celery ribbon.  This ribbon is similar to the ribbon you can get free in the ribbon bundle, if you spend $100 on Stampin' Up! products with me in September.

Flower for all Seasons Cards

 

Here are some mini cards I made using the stamp set "A flower for all seasons".  A great stamp set that is cute to colour.  These were quick and easy cards to make.  The scalloped square punch also adds a bit on interest to the cards.

Here are some close ups:

 

And a fourth card to add to the set:

Happy Father's Day!

 

I hope all the father's out there are having a wonderful day - Including my own, of course!  Enjoy your special day Dad, you are one in a million!

Here is the card I sent to my Dad.  It was inspired by a very similar card by Kylie Swain, whom I was lucky enough to sit near on my recent team weekend away.  Thanks Kylie!

I used 4 new larger silver brads - available in the Spring Mini Catalogue - which were just perfect to finish off this card.  Parisian breeze paper (my all time favourite ever paper from Stampin' Up!) teamed with kraft and not quite navy card, complete the ensemble.

Happy Stamping!

Austin's Birthday

 

Here is the card and matching bookmark I made for my nephew Austin's birthday.

It can always be challenging making cards for boys that are not too babyish.  I hope that Austin liked his 'football' inspired card.  I used the football from the 'family favourites' stamp set and teamed it with the 'happy birthday' greeting from the 'family phrases' stamp set.  I also stamped his name using the 'Short order' alphabet (I like this one as it has upper and lower case in the one alphabet set).

Adding some crimping (always good on male cards) and some grey patterned paper (from the Urban Oasis designer series paper pack) and the card was complete.

Here is a close up:

 

I hope you enjoyed your birthday Austin.

Happy Stamping!

Stamps:  Family favourites, family phrases, short order alphabet

Ink:  basic gray

Card:  pacific point, old olive, basic gray, whisper white
