Heart and Craft

It is Lou’s birthday today!  I have the privilegeof sharing a room with Lou while we were in Sydney.  Lou wearing a lot of green (I say that it is her signature colour) and has a gorgeous Elegant Eggplant flower brooch that I love, with this in mind I set about designing her card and matching bag topper…

Cardstock: Elegant Eggplant, Kiwi Kiss

Stamp Sets: Teeny Tiny Sentiments, Whimsical Words (a retired Sale-a-bration set),  En Francais, Medallion.

Accessories: Kiwi Kiss satin ribbon, Button Bouquet, Coloured Rhinestone Brads, Twine, Clear Embossing Powder and heat gun, versamark, embossing buddy, stamp-a-majic, blunt scissors to rough up edges of paper, scallop border punch, scallop oval punch, word window punch, dimensionals, scallop circle punch, sponges.

Did you notice the punch behind the Word Window Punch?  No, we have not got a new punch that you haven’t been told about.  I saw this idea on Marelle’s site and I couldn’t wait to use it.  It is a Scallop Oval (which you can still buy even though it is not pictured in a current catalogue) that has had the top and bottom trimmed off.

The technique that I have used on these cards is Emboss Resist which I will be sharing during my Thursday class.  Hope to see you there.

Happy Stampin’

I don’t think that many of us have the time we would like for the things that we love to do.  Here are a couple of cards that are quick to make when you are time poor…

The first one is made by Linda:

Linda loves Pink, so it is not a surprise to see it used so beautifully on this card.  The stamp sets are from our Sale-A-Bration promotion.

Here is a card from me, I have layered the Whisper White on top of one another, I really like this look at the moment.  You may not be able to see clearly in this photo but I have stamped the images randomly on the piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock.  It is subtle but it just adds a little interest to a fairly plain card.  The ribbon is held in place with a glue dot.

Happy Stampin’

Sale-a-Bration is here!

The ESAD-SU group have decided to do another Blog Hop.  While I am not officially part of it this time, I thought I would support the hop by showcasing some cards from two of my fellow Stampin friends.  This one is Linda’s, check out her part of the hop here

Here is one of Lou’s creations and you can find more here.

Both of these cards use “Happy Moments” for the cute little images and the sentiments are from “Whimsical Words”.  Both of these stamp sets are available through our Sale-a-Bration promotion that runs until March 31.

Enjoy your hop and happy stampin’.
