Quick Cards

Here are some quick cards I have made, the layout was easy and my colour inspiration come from the DSP that was used.

 

The first two used the Apple Blossom Hostess set and the Greenhouse Gala DSP.

 

 

Supplies:
Stamp set: Apple Blossoms

Card: Concord Crush, Daffodil Delight,  Whisper White
Ink: Concord Crush, Pear Pizzazz, Pumpkin Pie

Accessories:  1/2” (1.3 cm) Pear Pizzazz Stitched- Poly Ribbon, Greenhouse Gala DSP, Dimensonals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

The next two cards use the Hello Again stamp set, unfortunately the DSP Haiku is retired but I am still happy with the end results.

 

 

Supplies:
Stamp set: Hello Again, Because I Care

Card: Old Olive, More Mustard, Whisper White
Ink: More Mustard, Old Olive, Tangerine Tango

Accessories:  Haiku Retired DSP, Dimensonals, SNAIL Adhesive

In all the cards I have used the Greenhouse Gala DSP – yes I suppose you could say that it is my favourite DSP at the moment.

 

This DSP contains a number of colours: Pear Pizzazz, Daffodil Delight, Chocolate Chip, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Baja Breeze.

 

Except for one card I have used the card stock colours from the DSP, except for one – Yes once more I have used Concord Crush, another favourite :)

Stamp set: Hello Again
Card: Concord Crush, Real Red,  Whisper White
Ink: Concord Crush

Accessories:  1/2” (1.3 cm) Pear Pizzazz Stitched- Poly Ribbon, 1 3/8” x 5/8” (3.5 x 1.6 cm) Oval Large, Greenhouse Gala DSP, Dimensonals, SNAIL Adhesive

For the following two cards, I have used Real Red for the base card stock and added a touch of  ribbon to one of the cards.

 

 

The words on the card below are from the Apple Blossoms stamp set – “ happy thoughts make happy days”.  Unfortunately it cannot be seen very clearly on the photo but I thought added a nice touch to a very happy card.

Stamp set: Hello Again
Card: Real Red,  Baja Breeze, 
Ink: Chocolate Chip

Accessories:  Greenhouse Gala DSP, Dimensonals, SNAIL Adhesive

Greenhouse Gala – Birthday Cards

I have created some birthday cards using the Greenhouse Gala DSP.  This DSP has really grown on me – the bright mixture of colours in the papers give such life to the cards.

 

I have used the new In-Color Concord Crush as the base card for two of the cards and it has
co-ordinated well with the Greenhouse Gala DSP.  This is not a colour I thought I would use that much but I have had to purchase a new A4 pack recently!

 

To colour the butterfly I inked the stamp in Pumpkin Pie and then rolled the outside in the Concord Crush.

 

 

Below are the two cards that I made that used Concord Crush cardstock as the base.

 

 

 

Supplies:
Stamp set: Perfect Punches, On Your Birthday, All a Flutter
Card: Concord Crush, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White
Ink: Concord Crush, Pumpkin Pie

Accessories:  5/8” (1.6 cm) Whisper White Satin Ribbon, 2” x 1 3/8” (5 x 3.5 cm) Oval Extra-Large, Dimensonals, SNAIL Adhesive, Mat Pack, Greenhouse Gala DSP

 

For the last card I used Baja Breeze cardstock for the base card.

 

 

Supplies:
Stamp set: Occasional Quotes (Hostess set), All a Flutter
Card: Baja Breeze, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White
Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Concord Crush

Accessories:  Mat Pack, Greenhouse Gala DSP, Dimensonals, SNAIL Adhesive

2011 – New Year, New Challenges

Hi everyone,

 

Things have been so crazy leading up to Christmas and here we are at the end of January.

 

Since my last post things have been so busy with Christmas, visitors, school holidays and my daughter managed to pick up the Chicken Pox but she will be ready for school next week, much to her disappointment.

 

With so much happening there has not been a lot of time for the creative mind to take over, but  I have completed some birthday cards, which I will post in the next few days.

 

I have also managed to catch up on the majority of the Friendship Books that have been outstanding and now I am working on returning some RAK’s and sending out Birthday Cards.

 

I hope that everyone is well and that 2011 brings you lots of love, happiness and time to stamp :)

 

Please stop bye again soon.
