Congratulations to my girlfriend Meghan and her husband Anthony on the safe arrival of their first baby, Timothy Patrick. I am hoping to get up to the hospital to visit the new mum and dad so I put this card together quickly to take with me. The colour combination is blue bayou, soft sky and certainly celery. I have used versamark and 'Spot On' (page89) for the background. The alphabet set I used was 'Defining Alphabet' (page 126). A list of the rest of the materials is below. I can't wait to meet little Timothy!!!
Material used:
Stamp sets: Wild about you, spot on & defining alphabet
Cardstock: Soft sky, blue bayou, certainly celery & whisper white

This is a card I made for one of my friends from church. She is heading off to Zambia with a mission group for 3 weeks to help run a camp for disadvantaged children. I wanted to let her know I was thinking of her as she prepares for this exciting and challenging adventure. I wish her and the team all the best, and may God bless them as they minister to the children and may he keep them safe until their return.
Materials used:
Stamp set: Paisley background, wonderful words & friendship blooms
Cardstock: Perfect plum, pale plum, whisper white & regal rose
Stamp pads: Perfect plum, pale plum & rose red
I had some sahara cardstock, (which personally I think is a very bland colour on it's own), and decided to try and come up with a card design. This is the result. I have taken some chocolate chip cardstock and created a matte for the card. I have then used the simple somethings stamp set (page 43) and stamped the flowers with whisper white. The sentiment has been taken from wonderful favourites (page 119) and stamped in whisper white also. For colour, I used flowers from the looks like spring stamp set (page 76) and stamped in ruby red, pumpkin pie and summer sun onto whisper white cardstock and then punched out using my spring flower bouquet punch (page 143). To finish off, I have used some wild wasabi double stitched ribbon (page 146). I was quite surprised and pleased with the result. Let me know what you think. Now I will have to decide who to send it to. Better still, I might make a whole lot and send it to all my friends for
eScape which is on the 25th June 2008. Go to Stampin' Up website for further details.
Materials used:
Stamp sets: Simple somethings, wonderful favorites & looks like spring
Cardstock: Sahara sand & chocolate chip
Stamp pads: Ruby red, pumpkin pie, summer sun & whipser white
Accessories: Wild wasabi double stitched ribbon & spring flower bouquet punch
I was having a play with some of my stamps today and made this. I am still not sure about it to tell you the truth. Would love your thoughts. I have take a 12x12 piece of cardstock and cut in half to make a larger than normal card. The designed series paper used is Spring Showers left over from last year's catalogue. I have then used the 'All in the Family'and 'Wonderful Favourites' stamp sets to create images. The punch used for the flowers is the spring flower bouquet punch which is still available in the new catalogue.
Material used:
Stamp sets: All in the family & wonderful favourites
Cardstock: Barely banana, chocolate chip, whisper white & spring showers designer series
Stamp pads: Chocolate chip
Accessories: Spring flower bouquet punch, brads, stampin' pastels, blender pens, stampin' dimensionals & glitter glue
This is a card we made in a workshop I had last night (excuse the black ink on bottom of card, which happened in workshop). It's another design I cased from Splitcoast Stampers. I love the Crab and Company stamp set, and thought this was a really cute card. The colour combination is soft sky, blue bayou, whisper white and wild wasabi. I am loving these colours from the new In Colour range. I have used versamark to stamp images onto the sky blue cardstock. The main images and 'snappy birthday' have been stamped with basic grey. I have then used blender pens and the lids of the stamp pads to colour in the image. For a little added dazzle, I have finished off the card with some glitter glue. Hope you like.
Material used:
Stamp set: Crab and Co
Cardstock: Sky blue, blue bayou & whipser white
Stamp pads: Basic grey, versamark, real red, creamy caramel, so saffron, old olive & chocolate chip
Accessories: Wild wasabi double stitched ribbon, glitter glue & blender pens
This is another card I fell in love with on Splitcoast Stampers!! I love the colours used and the effect of the paisley background on the pale plum cardstock looks really classy. This card was very simple to make. I cut a piece of pale plum cardstock slighty smaller than the perfect plum card. I inked the paisley background stamp (page 108) with pale plum ink and stamped the pale plum cardstock. The birthday sentiment has been taken from sincere salutations (page 119) and stamped in perfect plum. The birthday cake, taken from greetings galore (page 56), has been stamped onto whisper white cardstock in black ink and then coloured using my stampin' pastels and blender pens. It has then been adhered to a piece of perfect plum cardstock which I have scalloped using some decorative scissors. Before adhering this image to the card, I have wrapped a piece of whisper white grosgrain ribbon (page 146) around the pale plum cardstock. I then have done a faux bow on the perfect plum using my double rectangle punch (page 142). I think it is quite cute!! Let me know what you think. Have a great long weekend!!
Hey everyone. It has been some time since my last post. I don't know where May went. I think I was suffering from 'stampers creative block', but I am back and will endeavour to post more creations this month. With the rain over the past few days, it is a perfect time to sit and play. Being stuck in doors is not always a bad thing!! I have a couple of workshops coming up, so to help clear cobwebs and find my creativity -ness I went to Splitcoast Stampers for some inspiration. I found this gorgeous card and decided to case it. I fell in love with the colours and thought it was a happy and fun card to give to someone and brighten up their day! I have used a cuttlebug on the summer sun cardstock, but otherwise all other material can be purchased from Stampin' Up®. Full list of material used is given below:
Stamp set: Wild about you
Cardstock: Pumpkin pie, summer sun, old olive & whisper whit
Stamp pads: Pumpkin pie & old olive
Accessories: 5/8 Old olive grosgrain ribbon & antique brass brads
