For Mum...

Today's card is a CASE from the Summer Mini, although I have changed a couple of things.  I've loved the look of this card from the first time I opened the mini.

Cut base card using Riding Hood Red Cardstock
Cut So Saffron Cardstock - 5" x 3 1/2" or 12.5cm x 9cm
Run this piece through your Bigshot using Embossing Folder Square Lattice
Adhere to base card
Cut Pear Pizzazz Cardstock - 4 1/2" x 2" or 11.5cm x 5cm
Cut Whisper White Cardstock - 4 3/8" x 1 7/8" or 11cm x 4.5cm
Using Pear Pizzazz Ink, stamp image twice onto the Whisper White Cardstock
Colour buds using your Watercolour Pencils
Using a scrap piece of Whisper White Cardstock, stamp images again & cut out

Adhere 2 cut out images over the stamped images using SU Dimensionals

Adhere Whisper White to Pear Pizzazz & then to base card down the RHS

Stamp 3 flower images onto scrap Whisper White Cardstock using Riding Hood Red Cardstock & cut out

Apply flowers to card using SU  Dimensionals

Adhere Basic Pearls to middle of flowers

With a scrap piece of Whisper White Cardstock & Pear Pizzazz Ink, stamp sentiment

The sentiment I've used for this card makes for a great greeting birthday/general card for your mum or a Mother's Day card.

Cardstock - Whisper White, Riding Hood Red, So Saffron

Happy New Year...

I think this challenge & card represent the celebrations of last night. 

It is actually an Inspiration Challenge from Utah Diva International

What else could I use but the Stamp Set - Cheers to You. It was just screaming out "Cheers"

Cut Wisper White Cardstock & score in half to form base card

Cut piece of Whisper White Cardstock

Using Stamp-ma-Jig to ensure your images are stamped in a straight line, stamp 3 images onto the Cardstock
Cut larger piece of Whisper White & adhere to the image piece
Cut yet another larger piece of Whisper White & adhere to previous piece
Adhere all 3 pieces of Whisper White to base card
Using Watercolour Pencils, colour images
Stamp Sentiment down RHS of bse card using Basic Gray Ink

Result - 10 mintue card!

Please excuse my colouring in on this card, but now I like to think that some of the drinks were actually on the side a little!

Stamp Set - Cheers to You, A Word for You

Inks - Basic Gray

Tropical Summer...

I made this card a couple of weeks ago & suddenly realised I hadn't posted it.

I've done a bit of a different fold for this card.  Still using your standard size card, I folded the top half of the card in half again.

I've used the "Island Oasis" DSP from the latest Mini-Catalogue & adhered DSP down the RHS, while ashering the opposite side of the DSP down the LHS.  All SU® DSP is double-sided, which means you receive twice as much DSP.

Using Whisper White on Rose Red Cardstock, I adhered it to the top half of the folded back section of the card.

I then stamped the images in Old Olive onto the Whisper White.  Using scraps of Whisper White, I stamped the flower in Rose Red, while the coconut was stamped in Chocolate Chip.  The umbrella was coloured in using my Watercolour Pencils.

I cut both the flower & coconut out & using Stampin' Dimensionals, adhered to the card.  I then stamped the greeting in Rose Red.

Supplies -
Stamp Set - Tropical Party, Short & Sweet
Ink - Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Rose Red
Cardstock - Whisper White, Rose Red, Tempting Turquoise
DSP - Island Oasis*
Accessories - Snail Glue, Stampin' Dimensional, Watercolour Pencils

* Summer Mini-Catalogue

If any of the instructions do not make sense, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Until next time, Enjoy!

I'm Back...

G'Day Stampers,

Well, I am back & hopefully to post more frequently than I have been.  Once out of the routine, it takes a bit to get back again.

I've used a set from the current SU mini-catalogue & believe me, this stamp set has heaps of potential.  Check the mini at the right hand side to place an order!  Since seeing this set, I have had an image in my mind of doing this project, just required the occasion!

I am in the middle of making a matching card but wanted to post the box first.  I have made this for a birthday and want to fill the box with lots of goodies, ie lollies.  What kid doesn't like lollies?

Until then, have a great day!
