21st birthday card


Hello everyone,

Hope you are enjoying my blog. This is a card I did for a friends 21st birthday a couple of months ago. The photo hasn't turned out the best because the base card is chocolate chip (my favourite colour) and so is my table cloth. It is funny how the colours in my house and very close to StampinUP! colours. In fact we are currently building a house and I keep telling my husband that I want an Old Olive, Kraft theme going in the kitchen living area and he doesn't have a clue what I'm talking about but my stamping buddies do. Anyway this is a waterfall card (I just love the WOW factor of these). I used 1 of the new filigree designer bards to attach the ribbon and choc chip fine supernova glitter to highlight the tempting turquoise flower element. I must admit since I have brought the fine supernova glitter I have used it lots and lots. I am not usually a glitter bling person but this pack has 5 small jars of different colours so you have a colour that goes with everything and because it is fine it is fantastic for just a little highlight. Quite often I will make a card but it is just lacking a little something so I add a little fine supernova glitter with the two-way glue pen and it looks a million times better. Hope you like it and thanks for looking.
Supplies: Chocolate chip, creamy caramel, temping turquoise and whisper white card stock.
Choc chip, tempting turquoise, creamy caramel and black stazon ink.
Tempting turquoise grosgrain ribbon, Filigree designer brads, chocolate chip fine supernova
Baroque Motifs stamp set

Pink Birthday bling


This is a birthday card I did for a birthday party my eldest daughter was going to. Again using the Great Friend stamp set from the Summer mini. I had a lot of fun doing this card and loved the way it turned out so much that I did it for a children birthday card swap I took part in with other Demo's in Albany. The bling is fine supernova pink and dazzling diamonds in Idea book and catalogue. Also used Birthday Wish and Gallery (summer mini) , and Always (ib&c). Hope you like it.

Beautiful card for a beautiful friend


This is a card I did for my wonderful friend Megan for her birthday (in August I just haven't had a chance to post it). She is not only a good friend but my awesome upline so this card HAD to be special. I spent a whole evening on it to get it just right, Graeme commented on the amount of time taken but when I told him it was for Megan he just said Oh I understand now. Anyway I have just fallen in love with the Good Friend stamp set from the Spring mini, it is so beautiful and can be used for many different themes. And I must admit I am also loving the Parisian Breeze speciality dsp also in the Spring mini, the colours are really lovely together. Hope you like it.
