Simply Happy Birthday

Hi everyone,

 

Hope your Easter was safe and wonderful.  We had a lovely time together and the Easter Bunny definitely found his way to our home!

 

I have a card to share with you and again I have used some of the new Attic Boutique DSP, hmm a definite favourite at the moment.

 

The base card is Poppy Parade and the flower is form the Array of Sunshine Hostess Stamp Set. 

 

The flower has been stamped three times and cut out and layered with dimensionals.  I have added touch of Daffodil Delight ink with a dauber to the smallest layer. 

 

There is ‘bling’ in the centre and the sentiment is from the Happiest Birthday Wishes Hostess Stamp Set.

 

 

 Supplies:

Stamp set: Happiest Birthday Wishes, Array of Sunshine

Card: Poppy Parade, Pool Party, Whisper White
Ink: Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Soft Suede

Accessories:  Eyelet Border Punch, Attic Boutique DSP, sponge daubers, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

The layout is from Clean and Simple and I have changed it a little but not much. 

 

I am happy with the end result and it was a quick card to make. It’s lovely and bright but very girly too!

Special Easel Card

Hi everyone,

 

I found a tutorial for an Easel Card with a Twist and I have finally created one.

 

I have used Regal Rose for base of the card and once more I have used the Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die.

 

I added a little sample of the Cheerful Treat DSP and found in my stash the lovely forgotten Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon to create the bow.

 

The sentiment is from Field Flowers stamp set and the Elegant Lines Textured Impression Folder makes a great background on the Very Vanilla cardstock.

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Field Flowers

Card: Regal Rose, Blushing Bride, Very Vanilla 
Ink: Regal Rose

Accessories:  5/8” (1.6 cm) Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon, Decorative Label Punch, Eyelet Border Punch, Elegant Lines Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die, Cheerful Treat DSP, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

Hello Hello Hello

And Hello once more :)

 

All the greetings are because I used the ‘hello, hello, hello’ sentiment stamp from the Happy Greetings stamp set in the Summer Mini Catalogue. 

 

The card base is Basic Gray which has been dry embossed using the Big Shot and the Elegant Lines Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  This is a great folder and just adds that little bit to the background.

 

The colours are from the colour challenge at The Play Date Cafe – Basic Gray, Daffodil Delight, Basic Black and Whisper White as the neutral.

 

The layout is from the sketch at Create with Connie & Mary which you can see here.  I have flipped the sketch around and used the wonderful Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die to create the butterflies.  This Die is one of my favourites at the moment (of course don’t forget the ‘bling’) as I love how the butterflies are embossed and cut at the same time when the folder goes through the Big Shot. 

 

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Happy Greetings

Card: Basic Gray, Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White
Ink: Basic Black

Accessories:  1-3/4” (4.4 cm) Scallop Circle Punch, 1-3/8” (3.5 cm) Circle Punch, Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die, Elegant Lines Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

 

 

 

There is normally some bling on my cards – so you will not be surprised to see it on the little butterfly.

Hello card

Hi everyone,

 

Just wanted to share with you a card I created using the Elementary Elegance Stamp set and the Everyday Enchantment DSP that is available during Sale-A-Bration.

 

I was looking at the colour challenge at Pals Paper Arts - Lucky Limeade, Always Artichoke and a colour of your choice?  Hmm interesting don’t you think?  What colour would you choose?  I decide on Calypso Coral.

 

The sketch was inspired by Card Patterns Sketch # 155 and my card has Always Artichoke for the base of the card.  The circles were created with the Circle Scissor Plus in Calypso Coral.

 

The leaves/bud image is from the Fabulous Florets stamp set which is in the Summer Mini Catalogue and has been stamped with Lucky Limeade ink.

 

The flowers are from scraps I had from cutting the main DSP and I punched the flowers out using the Boho Blossoms Punch.  The second layer of the flowers has been punched out with the same punch and the card stock is Very Vanilla.

 

Unfortunately you cannot see in the photo but I have coloured the Rhinestones in with the Lucky Limeade marker and they have a light tint of ink – just to be different but still with ‘bling’ !

 

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Fabulous Florets, Elementary Elegance

Card: Always Artichoke, Calypso Coral, Very Vanilla 
Ink: Always Artichoke, Lucky Limeade

Accessories:  Circle Scissor Plus, Boho Blossoms Punch, Always Artichoke Grosgrain Ribbon (Retired), Lucky Limeade Marker, Everyday Enchantment DSP, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

I have a few friends that I need to send a card to so this will be a great card to use for one of them.
