Anniversary Wishes For Ruth and Teif!

Tomorrow is my good friend and her hubbys anniversary - here is the card i made for them:

The paris theme is simply for romantic purposes!! On a 'Soft Suede' cardbase i layered some 'Pink Pirouette' card and some 'Beau Chateau DSP'.

On a piece of 'Very Vanilla' card i stamped the circle image (using 'Crumb Cake' ink) and the Eiffel Tower image (using 'Soft Suede' ink)both frome the 'Artistic Etchings' set and then ran it through the 'Big Shot' using the 'Textured Impression Embossing Set: Designer Frames'. I layered this onto some pink card and then glued it onto the cardbase.

I finished off the card by stamping the sentiment (from 'Teeny Tiny Wishes') and punching it out using the 'Word Window' Punch, raising it with 'Dimensionals' to create a 3D effect. Finally finishing the card off with some 'Basic Pearls' to add some bling!

I hope Ruth and Teif have a fabulous anniversary tomorrow! Can't believe how quickly the last two years have gone!!

A 'Boho Blossom' Wedding Card!

Today is our friends Jen and Andy's wedding reception - they got married in Sicily a month or so ago and tonight it their UK wedding reception. Here is the card i made for them:

I started off by punching out lots and lots of little flowers from 'Very Vanilla' and 'Blushing Bride' cardstock and 'Beau Chateau DSP' using the 'Boho Blossom Punch'. I very patiently glued them into a heart shape onto a square of 'Crumbcake' card. I then mounted this onto a square of 'Very Vanilla' before gluing it onto a 'Blushing Bride' cardbase. I wrapped a knotted piece of 'Very Vanilla' 'Seam Binding Ribbon' around the spine of the card. Finally i stamped the 'for the newlyweds' sentiment from the 'Teeny Tiny Wishes' stampset using 'Crumbcake' ink onto some 'Blushing Bride' card, which i punched out using the 'Word Window Punch'. I secured this onto the cardbase using 'Dimensionals' to give it a 3D effect!

I hope Jen and Andy have an amazing evening!!

Happy Fathers Day!!

Today is FATHERS DAY!! So wishes all the Dads out there a very happy day - i hope you all get spoilt rotten!

I couldn't resist making hubby a Fathers Day card from bump!! So here it is:

I have Jade to thank for this design as i CASE'd it from her last week when she came around mine for a crafty session!! On a 'Pool Party' cardbase i ran a strip of 'DSP' from the 'Beau Chateau' collection down one side. On some 'Whisper White' card i stamped the dad image and the baby image created using the 'All in the Family' stampset. (TIP: use a 'stamp-a-ma-jig' to line up the componants' of the set) I coloured these images in using a selection of 'Stampin' Write Markers' and then carefully snipped them out. I created the 'Daddy' by running some 'Marina Mist' card through the 'Big Shot' using the 'Timeless Type Alphabet Dies' and glued the images and letter into place on the cardbase. Finally i stamped the 'Happy Fathers Day' sentiment, from the 'Teeny Tiny Wishes' set along the bottom of the card (using 'Marina Mist' ink). Finally i threaded some 'Linen Thread' through a 'Marina Mist' 'Designer Button' and then glued it into place on the top lefthand corner of the card!!

I hope my hubby (and every other Dad) has a lovely fathers day!!

For my Birthday Twin!

Woo hoo!! IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!! So looking forward to going out for a meal tonight with some of my bestest friends!!

Today i have a card to share with you that i have made for a good friend of mine, who also shares the same birthday as me - all the best people are born on the 12th March!! So happy birthday Cate!!

I started with a 'Very Vanilla' cardbase. I wrapped a piece of 'Baja Breeze' 'Seaming Ribbon' around a  piece of 'DSP' from the 'Beau Chateau Collection' and glued it onto the card base. Next i ran a piece of 'Very Vanilla' through the 'Big Shot' using the 'Manhatten Rose Embossing Folder'. I handsnipped the design and cut out the roses, layering them onto the DSP. I was originally going to put a sentiment on the front, but couldn't work out where to pop it so ended up popping it in the inside. Instead i placed three blingy 'Basic Rhinestones' on the front!

I'm not sure if i will have time to deliver this to Cate tomorrow so i may have to give her this on Wednesday at work. I hope you have a brilliant day!! 

A Thankyou TopNote Card!!

Hey all! Hope you have had a good weekend. I have and can't believe it is almost over!! Today i went down to the seaside with my sisters and whilst there had a scrummy lunch and did lots of shopping!! I'm upset the weekends over but totally looking forward to the week ahead - tomorrow is my birthday and then on Tuesday we have our 20 week scan! Can't wait!!!

Unsuprisingly i haven't had a lot of time to craft this weekend but i have a thankyou card i made earlier in the week to share with you, that my friend Ruth asked me to make for her. I used a similar design to the 'Top Note' card that featured on my blog the other day. (See here) Fiona taught us how to make cards like this and i just love the layout and know i'll be using it a lot in the future:

The card base used is 'Crumb Cake'. The 'DSP' used in this card is from the 'Beau Chateau' and the 'Nursery Nest' collections. As you can see i have used the 'Top Note Die' in this design. The thanks stamp is from the 'Tagtastic' set, inked in 'Baja Breeze', punched with a '1-3/8" Circle Punch', layered onto a 'Soft Suede' 'Scallop Circle' with a little 'Baja Breeze' 'Seaming Ribbon' and a couple of 'Basic Pearls' to embellish the card!!

Ruth wanted these cards made to give to colleagues who accompanied her on an Duke Of Edinborough expedition with some of our students. Despite being nervous about the trip and all the organisations it all went well! It's the first one that Ruth has organised and she did a fab job! Well done Ruth!!
