March 30th Card Night





Here are the 3 cards that we made last Friday. All materials are from Stampin' Up!
"Hoppy for you" Frog image from the Sell-a-bration set Very Punny. Colours- Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Real Rust and Cool Carribean.
"Bugs and Kisses" Bugs and Kisses stamp setl. Colours- Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Green Galore, Gable Green and black. As with many of my other cards you can not see that this background is also covered in stamps using Real Red ink.
"Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much" I really like this card it all fold up and you can tie a ribbon around to keep it closed when you send it. Stamp set is Spring Garden. Colours- Mellow Moss, Perfect Plum, Pretty in Pink, Rose Red and Brocade Blue.

To See The World....

A fairly simple card but I really like the quote and the gold leaves embossed look really sharp. You can't see that the green background also has leaves stamped on it. I think this card could use a small bit of gold thread in between the two eyelets at the bottom of the quote but I didn't have any handy.
I don't know who the quote stamp is by the solid leaf image is by Penny Black. All other materials are Stampin' Up!

Birthday Beauty


A simple card birthday card and tag that we made for the 2yr old birthday party this weekend. You can't see it in the picture but the Beauty Queen's tiara, sash, shoes and the "S" on the tag are all glittery.
Beauty Queen stamp set, Pretty in Pink cardstock, and Dazzling Diamonds glitter from Stampin' Up! The gorgeous paisley printed paper is from Close to My Heart.

Picture Frame


This is a picture frame I created from an idea in the Stampin' Up! main catalogue. On page 145 with the Bugs & Kisses set there is a picture frame. I've altered it to suit a little girl who's birthday party we went to this past weekend. The frame was painted with acrylic paints and decorated with various dots & dashes ribbon, all from Michael's. I stamped the caterpilliar and word images on white cardstock, sponged with Pretty in Pink Ink and layered on Pretty in Pink cardstock. I've done other frames similiar to this, i'll have to get the pics to share with you.

Dance


Here is a little card that I did to send out East to a friend that just moved out to Montreal. It isn't the best picture but I wanted to put it up 'cause I was very happy how it turned out. After stamping and layering the main quote I embossed with silver the little flourish on the courners and it looks very pretty in real life.
Quote says " Dance like no one is watching, Sing like no one can hear you, Love like you've never been hurt before, Live like its Heaven here on Earth"
Main Stamp Image is Penny Black, all other supplies are Stampin' Up! Printed paper and Little flourish stamp are from the Winter Mini Catalogue Carte Postale stamp set and coordinating printed paper line. Perfect Plum cardstock and Ink.
