Birthday Cards

Here’s two cards that I made for some recent birthdays.

This one is for Damon who turned 8 this year. I couldn’t wait to use my circle scissors. It cuts perfectly! Love it. And guess what? It’s coming out in the new Summer mini – available from December. See how easy you can make circles from 1-6″ in diameter. And do you like my multicoloured greeting? I just love how versatile this one stamp is. I’ve used it in a few of my cards. So quick and easy.

Stamps – Birthday Wish
Ink – Tempting Turquoise, Only Orange, Green Galore, Yoyo Yellow, Real Red Stampin Markers
Paper – A4 CS in Tempting Turquoise, Only Orange, Green Galore, Yoyo Yellow, Real Red, Brilliant Blue, Whisper White
Accessories – Circle Scissors, black cotton thread, Pumkin Pie Grosgrain Ribbon, sponges, balloon die.

 

And this card was for my husband’s grandmother’s birthday. I thought I’d try the flower pot card. At first I only had the flowers and realised that the flowers really were too small by itself. Rather than fix up the flower pot, I added the green leaves. What do you think? The dimensions seem a little more realistic.

Stamps – Great Friend
Ink – Regal Rose Classic Ink, Regal Rose, So Saffron Marker
Paper – A4 CS in So Saffron, Regal Rose, Pink Pirouette, Old Olive, Kiwi Kiss, Really Rust, Whisper White
Accessories – Pink Pirouette Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, rhinestone brads, eyelet border punch, 5-Petal Flower punch, Scallop oval punch, large oval punch, linen thread, boho blossoms punch, white gel pen

 

OSW Circle Circus

Here’s a great quick way to make 10 easy cards. I’ve borrowed this colour scheme (using the colours from Sweet Slumber Specialty DSP) to create these cards using a OSW template that my upline, Steph Pike had and adjusted it to make 10 cards. I just love the colours and it’s so easy to make a stack of cards for many occasions.

Stamps – Circle Circus
Ink – Baja Breeze, So Saffron, Ruby Red Classic Ink
Paper – A4 CS in Baja Breeze, So Saffron, Ruby Red, Whisper White
Accessories – sponges, So Saffron Grosgrain Ribbon (Special), rhinestone brads, eyelet border punch, scallop edge punch, scallop circle punch, various circle punches.

M&M tubes

I’ve been keeping myself busy today making this delightful gift. A great little gift to give to friends for Xmas using the Raspberry Tart DSP and Rose Red cardstock. It was really hard not to eat the coloured M&M’s whilst sorting them out…bye for now – off to get some study done.

Xmas Cards

I have two more cards to share using some of the new mini catalogue xmas stamps.

Isn’t this cute? Perfect for our summer xmas!

Stamps: Season’s Surfin’
Paper: Baja Breeze, Old Olive, Real Red CS, Ski Slope DSP
Accessories: Designer Brads – Star, Aqua Painter

 

Here’s a classic stamp set. I’ve used it here with more contemporary colours. It’s also lovely with the rich burgundy and the deep green colours too.

Stamps: Good Cheer
Paper: Baja Breeze, Chocoate Chip CS, Ski Slope DSP
Accessories: Hodgepodge Hardware, Aqua Painter, Chocolate Chip Wide Grosgrain ribbon, Scallop edge punch.

Choo Choo

This card was inspired by the mini catalogue and one of my sidelines, Trish Hollis. The cutting out took a little bit of time, more like a whole day of cutting out. But it was worth it in the end. I love the card, I’m not sure if I can bear to give it away.

Here I took an A4 Whisper White CS, and cut it at 5″ wide. Then I folded the card into quarters in length. The Real Red mat is from a 12×12″ cardstock that I have cut out to be the height of a normal A6 card. The train tracks were made using the Right on Track wheel in basic gray. I use the bold brights for the train segments from the Choo Choo stamp set, and the animals are from the Wild About You stamp set.  The rolling hills were made by drawing on a scrap piece of paper and then using it as a mask for both the hills and the sky, using pastels.

Stamps: Choo Choo, Wild ABout You, Right on Track Wheel

Accessories: pastels, riding hood red taffeta ribbon

Inks: Tempting Turquoise, Pixie Pink, Green Galore, Yoyo Yellow, Only Orange, Real Red, Basic Gray, Summer Sun, Garden Green, Pumpkin Pie, More Mustard, Really Rust, Basic Black

Great Friend Card

Did I mention that I love this stamp set? Well – this is my current favourite stamp set! I just love the butterfly and just love how it matches the Walk in the Park DSP. I have 4 months to use this as much as possible – hopefully you won’t get too bored.

Stamps: Great Friend

Accessories: Scallop Edge Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Large Oval Punch, Dazzling Diamonds, Basic Gray Taffeta Ribbon, Walk in the Park DSP

Inks: Baja Breeze 

Plum and Blue

Here’s another card that I’ve used the same card as one fo the below retreat sketch challenge cards and just changed the colours.

Stamps: Circle Circus, Live like you mean it, Oval All

Accessories: Crimper, Scallop Oval punch, large oval punch, scallop circle punch, 1 1/4″ circle punch, 3/4″ circle punch, blue circle rhinestone brad

Inks: Pale Plum, Bashful Blue, Versamark, Certainly Celery
