Happy Birthday, Mum
Today my Mum celebrates her 85th birthday and I am in England with her and the rest of my family. It is very difficult to find a gift for her as she really has all she needs. But I would like to share a little story of my gift for her. Continue reading
Happy Birthday ~ Dear Friend + a video!
What a beautiful sentiment this is from the Birthday Blooms Stamp Set and perfect for the card I wanted to make for my dear friend who lives in PA. Her favorite colors are pink and purple, Pink Pirouette and Wisteria Wonder work so beautifully together with the silver filigree in the butterfly aperture of this card.
Tea Bag Thank you’s
June’s thank you gift to all the lovely ladies who shopped with me was a little 3D gift bag containing 2 teabags. It allowed me to continue with my quest to use Designer Series Paper as well to use some of the new products from the 2016 – 2017 Annual Catalog, and to show them off to my customers. If you joined in with my DSP paper share this month you will be able to make a whole bunch of these!
( Heads up ~ watch out for my ribbon share coming in August – you won’t want to miss out on that)
Father’s Day ~ better late than never
I made this card for an on-line swap back in late May and although it is a Father’s Day card the layout and colors can be used for a birthday card for a guy or change the colors out and it would work perfectly for a feminine card – and that is the beauty of the two stamp sets that I used for this card ~ Pop of Paradise and Thoughtful Banners because they have images and words that are really flexible.
Vertical Greetings ~ Stampin’ Up!
When the 2016 ~ 2017 Annual Catalog came out one of the sets that sparked my imagination was Vertical Greetings, a set with 3 long skinny trees and 6 vertical greetings, I knew it would lend itself to some pretty and simple cards. So here is the first of what I hope will be many designs.
Balloon Celebration ~ Stampin’ Up!
I wanted to make a batch of birthday cards that would be great for children but not fall back on the usual pinks and blues, running thru all the lovely colors in the Stampin” Up! palette, I settled on Pear Pizzazz and Daffodil Delight; and nothing is more birthday than balloons!
Floral Boutique Suite ~ Stampin’ Up! 2016 – 2017 Catalog
Over the last 4 – 5 months I have been sharing my mission to use Designer Series Paper (DSP) and have posted a lot of projects here so show my progress.
Well the new Stampin’ Up! catalog was made available to demonstrators in mid April and lots of new designs of DSP were included. As soon as I clapped eyes on the Floral Boutique DSP and its coordinating products I fell in love.
The catalog became live on June 1st and now I can share the beautiful suite of products with you…………….. focusing on the DSP Continue reading
Happy Birthday – Pop Ups from Stampin’ Up!
This is a fun card which uses the Party Pop-Up Thinlet Dies from Stampin’ Up! They are in the Occasions Catalog which is due to retire on May 31st (but the good news is……………… it has been included in the new 2016 – 2017 Annual catalog, which goes live June 1st!.
I made the card for my youngest grand-daughter’s 1st birthday, but liked it so much I also offered it to my card crafting ladies in April’s class.
Totally over the top ~ but I love it!!!
Today’s card is totally over the top – I love it but it is a card that you would have to give in person rather than put in the post because I just don’t think it would survive!
It is one of my footling cards – I shared one a couple of years ago – footling was a favorite expression of my beloved Aunt Di ~ is just picking up some ‘items’ and playing with them until something comes together .
