Snowflakes Christmas Card

Here's the third card from my Christmas card making session. I had lots of Bashful Blue cardstock in my stash, so I thought I'd try to use some of it up. I combined it with Not Quite Navy. I used the Broadsheet Alphabet stamp set to stamp the letters S N O and W and stamped on the Bashful Blue card stock with Whisper White Kraft ink, and the letters were the cut out with the square punch. A background was punched out with the Square Scallop punch. I then used the Whisper White Kraft Ink to stamp the Serene Snowflakes stamp set onto the Not Quite Navy card stock, which was punched with the Scallop Square Punch. I cut a square piece of the Subtles Paper Stack and placed it on a square card blank I had in my craft room. I'm so used to cutting cards now from Stampin' Up! coloured card stock, I had forgotten about using bought card blanks like I used to. When I'd stuck everything together, I used the Shimmer Paint in Frost White to create a shimmer effect over the whole card.

Crafternoon Tea Class - Tea Shoppe

Here's the last card from the Crafternoon Tea class I went to. It would have been daft for Kylie not to take advantage of the lovely stamp set from the Summer Mini Catalogue, called Tea Shoppe. This is the card she designed for us to make.

The colour combo is Marina Mist and Daffodil Delight, with Very Vanilla. Three tea cups were stamped and punched out with the 1-3/8" (3.5cm) Circle Punch. These were mounted into a strip of dotty papers from the Subtles paper stack, which was the placed onto a piece of Daffodil Delight card stock, which had been edge punched with the Scallop Border Punch. The Just For You sentiment was punched using the Word Window Punch, then mounted onto Daffodil Delight punched with the Modern Label Punch. Flowers punched from the Itty Bitty Punch set were placed onto the cups. Lovely and simple!

Love cards

These are cards that I started when I first signed up to be a demonstrator, and I found them recently half finished.  I think I had been waiting for the ribbon to be delivered and put them away to finish later.  I've finished them now, and here they are.

I used the I {Heart} Hearts stamp set, with Pretty in Pink and Marina Mist papers from the Subtles paper stack.  The sentiment is from the Pennant Parade stamp set, and has been cut out with the Modern Label Punch, with ink applied around the edges with the sponge daubers.

Fancy Folds Card 3 - Easel Owl Card

Here's the third in my fancy folds cards - an easel card.  It uses the colour combo of Perfect Plum, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla.  I used the Woodgrain background stamp with Crumb Cake Ink to create a wood effect on the Very Vanilla cardstock on the front of the card, as well as on the Crumb Cake base. An owl was punched using the Owl Builder punch, and I added some Rhinestone Pearls to look like a necklace.  I used the Word Window Punch and the Modern Label Punch with a sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes, and added a couple of the Stampin' Dimensionals to make a raised section where the top of the card rests to make it stand up.

This picture shows the card laid flat for placing in an envelope.

Hello Baby!

Inspired by a card that I made at one of the Stamp-a-stack sessions (which can be found on an earlier post here), I recently needed to make a lot of baby cards in bulk.  There are babies appearing everywhere at the moment, and I can barely keep up with the rate that I need to make and send cards! So I decided I needed a design that I could make quickly, and I thought of the bunting card.  I made 6 cards of each colour, so I'm fully prepared for any more babies that are on their way!

I used Crumb Cake cardstock, with Very Vanilla and Baja Breeze / Pretty in Pink ink and papers from the Subtles Paper Stack.  The 3/4" punch fits nicely around the Just Perfect Alphabet stamps.  The "baby" sentiment is from the Pennant Parade stamp set.  Inside, I stamped the words "One little baby...many happy hearts!" from the Curvy Verses set, which was one of the first Stampin' Up! sets I purchased.  The Square Lattice embossing folder was used with the Big Shot to emboss a section of the card, it just adds an extra bit of detail that makes it look that bit more special.

 

The sentiment on the inside of the card - from Curvy Verses.

Half of the cards lined up, ready to be added to my box of cards.

 

I hope that everyone that received one of these cards recently liked them.
