Last week my Stampin’ Up! Gramma, Sharon, organised a Mystery Stamp-a-long via Facebook. It was an hour long virtual event from the comfort of my own study.
She gave us a brief list of what to have on hand, cardstock, Designer Series Paper, coordinating ink, stamp set (with pictures and words) and some embellishments – that was all the info we had to go on until the stamp-a-long started.
Time for another guy birthday card, this one is very straightforward and features decorative paper as the focal point and it cut at an angle to give it a little more interest.

This is a card for the fellas in our lives. I usually struggle to make ‘guy-type’ cards and I don’t think I am alone in that. But I set myself a challenge a couple of months ago to do a class featuring 4 different designs of cards for our men-folk. Quite unconsciously this ended up as red, white and blue and since we shall be celebrating July 4th later this week I thought it was a perfect time to share.
May 12th is my sister, Susie’s, birthday ~ she is 7 years younger than me and lives in the UK, so I don’t get to see too much of her. While I was always the one who followed the rules (some might say something of a fuddy duddy) she was the one who pushed the envelope and got away with it (mostly!) She is now the proud mother of 4 children and Nanna to 2 grandbabies – it amazes me that my baby sister is a grandmother!!!
Tax season is over, I’m back at my work bench and normal service is about to resume!!!!!
I apologize for not posting very much in the last 5 – 6 weeks, been very busy helping the nation file their taxes ( did not actually get ours filed until late on the night of the 14th ~ bit too close for my liking, prefer to get them done by mid-March!)
But while I have not had time to post I have had some time to make and have some things to share with you over the coming days………………
One of the lovely things about having card making classes is when you receive a hand-made thank you card in return. I thought I would share a couple I got in the mail in the last few weeks.
FYI – 2 more days Sale-a-bration before finishes…… did you get your free stuff yet? Click the ‘shop now’ button to the right there – you won’t be sorry 🙂
Earlier this week I shared my ‘ organised swap’ for Leadership, but we also have a ‘general swap’ where you design a card and make as many as you would like to get back from fellow swappers.
Due to time constraints I was only able to make 20 but I was pleased with my design and I received some lovely swaps in return.
I made this card for the husband of a dear friend who celebrated his birthday this week. My inspiration was from a card by POOTLES, a UK Stampin Up demonstrator. I used Stampin UP’s Modern Medley DSP and the ‘Really Good Greetings’ Stamp Set. I particularly wanted to use the ‘music note’ design as he is a musician. Continue reading
This is the time of the year when lots of thank you cards are needed. Inspired by a post by ‘POOTLES’ I spent yesterday making these using up the remainder of the Season of Style DSP from Stampin’ Up’ I know these are in traditional Christmas colours but as they are thank you’s for Christmas gifts I think they are the perfect colours!
